C— ‘Senator Martin of Vir-- ginia, Democratic leader in the senate and chair- man of the appropria- tions committee, told the his Judgment the government would proceed as rapidly as possible to the demobilization of our immense army and would not listen to proposals for a huge standing army on a compulsory military training basis, “The world has now got to devote itself to the overwhelming problems of peace ‘and reconstruction,” said the World to redress the balance of the Old, if but half true then, has since been acted out in the wars just closed. We have had a main share, co-operat- ing again with England, in shaping the events that have, in these wars, remade the face of Europe. “Our success now becomes our dan- ger. Power begets a constant tempta- tion to use it. Power to dictate to other nations their course of conduct leads to a desire to exercise and en- force that power. Any conscription act tends to exalt the military and de- press the civil authority. Safety for us does not lie that way.” ‘.escaped the gallows. . MOONEY AS AN OBJECT LESSON' The supreme court.of the -United : States has declined to review the case of Tom Mooney, convicted California labor. leader, and thereby gives us another illustration of how it is possi- ble in free America to railroad a man to the gallows on perjured testimony. The case has made -a stink in every corner of Europe as well as America. There are “profound” legal aspects and other aspects to this case which are of more importance than an inno- cent man’s life, especially when that man is only a common labor leader and would probably go on stirring up trouble by organizing workers if he The “agitators” need a lesson as to what the big mter- ests can do to them, deal cannot su us know, andl{vefll veu you ‘where them. ated Folder on wzet 8C 409 Schoener Bldg., FARGO TANNERY ANDREW MONSON, Prop.

Rob lined, senator,” and there will be no money to waste on large standing armies, here or elsewhere. The entire world has been impoverished to a point where it simply can not afford to go on in the old way. Wars are over for 50 years, perhaps forever. At any rate this country can and will not, in my judgment, follow the advice of the militarists. and waste its- men and money on a huge military establish- ment under compulsory military train- ing.” The senator declared that the prob- lems - of demobilization were serious and would have to be attacked by both Republicans and Democrats in a spmt of co-operation if great waste and in- jury. were to be avoided. “The draft machinery, I have no doubt,~will be slowed up and stopped at the earliest possible moment,” he continued. . “We have enough men in Europe to do all the policing neces- sary. “We shan’t need many men, if any, in Russia. All this talk of en- larging the cantonments to take care of additional increments of drafted “men is sheer extravagance. We have no men and no money to-waste. Our big: job is to feed and help the world to its feet.” ¥ "' JUDGE BALDWIN OPPOSED Judge Simeon Baldwin, Yale profes- sor and former governor of Connecti- cut, has also recently issued a warn- ing ‘against abandoning the traditional policy of the United States at a time g o8 - when there was never less reason for i it ; “Onr history since the Constitution “was adopted shows that its framers were' right in providing for a small ~army’ and a supplementary militia, only, in time of peace, leaving con- -’ geription to be resorted to only when 33 necessary in time of war. ; : “We shall never wage wars avowed- ly. for conquest. For any others we can sa.fely trust to voluntary enlist- . ment in the armies and navies of the United States and the state militia. “We have become.the greatest and nchest government on earth. .
