The idea is sound enough but when it is realized that there are 24,000 tons of such matter forwarded each year and one con- gressman is said to have semt out in one day what it would have required an individual $285,000 to have mailed it can be appreciated that it is sub- ject to abuse. The suggestion is made that the extent to which con- gressmen resort to the franking privi- lege be published several times a year. Whether this or some other means is adopted, it is neverthe- less evident that it is a matter which deserves corrective attention. STATE GUARDS.

Previous to the war most every state maintained state military organizations.

Understanding the need of home protection Connecticut was in the organization of military compan- for the purpose of taking care of whatever disorders should occur, to! act as home defenders and to take the place of those who had gone into fed- eral service. Apparently Ohio failed to take such a precaution and today finds itself without such a safeguard.
