Now that tho courts have enjoined the In-

issue can bo fought out In tho proper trib
unal. Thero arc 20,000,000 unorganized militia In
the United States; that Is, males of military

taken shows that thero aro 299,522 children of
school ago here; that Is, children between B
and 16. All but 30,000 of them aro enrolled In
the schools. Somo of tho unenrolled aro em
ployed and others, for ono reason or nnother,
are not fitted to go to school. The defense of
tho nation depends on Its enrolled children
as well as upon Its enrolled citizenry in arms.
The condition of the streets Is a little worse

Only 2000 applications havo been mado for

' for last year out of 2057 applications licenses
wero granted to only 1918 places. In 1914
there wero 2148 applications and 1923 licenses
granted. Although tho city Is growing in
population, there Is a. slow but gradual de
crease in the number of places wliero Intoxi
cating drinks can bo bought. If this1 decrease
were accompanied by a corresponding de-
" crease in the consumption, of liquor the tem
perance advocates would have sound reasons
for congratulating themselves on tho prog

the. collector of Internal revenue for this dis
trict, however, Indicate that there has been
an Increase in the consumption of liquor.
The Organization's methods of obtaining
money for campaign purposes Jn Philadelphia
have been a source of much comment for
many years, but the recent debate In the
Senate on the Philippine bill for independence
brought to light the interesting fact that our
brawn-skinned proteges have gone the Or
.Ionization "one better' when it conies to col
pectins' funds for a specific purpose. Senator
James Hamilton Lewis, during the debate,
' told the Scuate that It came to his notice that
the military authorities In the Philippines
had issued orders tbat the people must cease
having celebrations when American officials
jiiTivcd in the Islands, as it was exhausting
the revenues of the poor people to provide the
aauwtainment. Therefore, uacording to the
i
Senntor, Ihe "tindcratcaldes" passed tho word
nlong to tho petty officials that there should
bo no further contributions for entertainment
purposes, except ns voluntarily given. Tho
tiiiderornelnls wero equal to tho occasion,
however, and according to Senator Lewis, ad
vised tho pcoplo ns follows:
Hereafter whenever American officials
visit the Islands there shall bo no more con
tribution to entertain them, except volun
tarily, but thoso who do not volunteer shall
bo fined five pesos.

THERE Is general agreement outside of
Congress on tho Importance of enlarging
tho mllltnry forces of the nation. The dis
agreement Is upon tho best way to bring It
about.
Mr. Garrison wrote to tho President on
Jantinry 12 that
Tho very first lino of ctenvnge which must
be encountered and dealt with by the Bin
dont of tho nttuntlon Is between tcllnnee
upon n system of State troops, forever sub
ject to constitutional limitations which ren
tier them absolutely Insecure tin a reliance
for the nation, or rolluiieo upon national
forces raised, ouirorod, trained ami con
trolled by tho national authorities.
Mr. Garrison argued that tho State troops
were valuers as a nutlonnl nrmy, and that
nny law IntTndcd to make them the sole re
servo forco of the nation would bo worso
than useless, because It would lead tho pco
plo to think that adequate provision had
been mado for future contingencies.
Tho President dors not go so far na Mr.
Garrison, but ho docs not utterly disagree
with him. Ho wrote on February 10:
T nm tint ct convinced ttint tho moasuro
of preparation for national dorense which
we deem necessary can bo obtained through
the Instrumentality of the National Guard
under Federal control and training.
Although he wjis not convinced, tho Presi
dent said ho was willing to keep an open
mind on tho subject nnd glvo to Congress an
opportunity to see what It could do.
It Is Important to know what tho powers
of Congress aro In tho premises, ns well ns
what aro tho powers of the President over
tho mllltla. Here la what tho Constitution
says on the subject:
Artlclo I. The Congress shall have power
Sec. 33. To provide for calling forth the
mllltla to rvecute the laws of the Union,
suppress Insurrection and repel invasion.
Sec. 10. To provide for organising, nrm
lng and dlsclpllnlnr the mllltla and for gov
erning such part of them ns may bo em
ployed In the service of tho United States,
reserving to tho States, respectively, the
appointment of officers and tho. authority ot
training the mllltla according to tho dis
cipline prescribed by Congress.
Art. II. Sec. 2, paragraph 1. The Presi
dent shall bo commander-ln-elilef of the
army nnd navy of tho United States and of
the mllltla of tho several States when called
Into actual scrvlco of tho United States.
A man docs not need to bo a lawyer to con
clude from theso provisions that tho Na
tional Guard Is not a national force until It
is called to the service of tho National Gov
ernment "to execute tho laws 'of tho Union,
suppress Insurrection and repel Invasion." It
Is a State force In command ot tho Stato
officers. No mllltla regiment has ever en
tered the national scrvlco as such. Tho men
havo had to enlist in a national volunteer
army and bo transferred by nn act o,f their
own from tho Jurisdiction of tho Stato to that
of tho nation.
It Is proposed to increase tho control of the
National Government over tho Stato troops
by paying tho officers and men out of the
Federal treasury and holding up tho pay
unless they meet certain requirements In tho
way of training nnd discipline, and It Is
planned also to get around tho necessity ot
re-enllstmenls In a national nrmy when the
Stato troops are needed for national scrvlco
by Inserting a pledgo on tho original enlist
ment in tho National Guard that the man
will servo the nation wherever ho may bo
sent. But it Is evident from tho provisions
of the Constitution that, although Congress
may prescribe tho discipline of tho Stato
troops, it has no power to enforce it against
tho will ot tho States, and has no control
over the Stato troops save when they uro
In national service.
No proposition for using tho National
Guard as tho basis of a reserve army has
Included nny device for putting It under
direct national control in tlmo of peace. It
Is proposed that thero should bo AS separate
reserve armies under command of S differ
ent authorities. The National Guard Asso
ciation, which favors federalization of the
organized mllltla, has perceived that there
inu.it bo a constitutional amendment be
fore even the semblanco of nutlonal con
trol in timo of war can bo secured. Ps leg
islative committee has recommended that
Congress submit an amendment making the
State troops uvnllablo for service whereve
the regular army may be sent, and providing
for the organization of a Federal mllltla In
thoso States wliero the local mllltla Ib not
maintained In accordanco with tho Federal
requirements.
Much enn bo said In favor of mich nn
amendment, because under it tho War De
partment could crr.ite a rc&ervo forco In
almost every State In the Union subject to
Immediate and direct control of tho cpmmnn-der-lu-chlef
of the national armies. Uut Con
gress is not considering any sort of a consti
tutional amendment.
No ono whoso Judgment la worth consider
ing bolleves the organized mllltla can bo fed
eralized by Congrosw under tho Constitution
as it stands. The chief congressional advo
cates of reliance on tho National Guard aro
opponents of preparedness. They see no
emergency or sufficient gravity to Justify
any radical change from past policies. They
admit It. Tho purppso ot tho President's
Western tour was to start a backfire that
would compel Congress to act. There Is no
doubt that tho nation demands a national
army. It doea not care about the details so
long as It gets results.
CARE OF THE FEEI1LE.MINDED
Till; problem of the feeble-minded is one
to which the normally ondowed come with
a feeling of uneasiness. Despite the ad
vances of science, the feeling persists-that
the aflliotlon is Incurable, and the healthy
man looks upon the Incurable with a hatred
and ferocity which grows In direct propor
tion to his sense of Impotence. Vet the prob
lem must be worried over, and the exhibit ar
ranged by the rubllc. Charities Association
for the two weeks beginning February-23
should be largely attended. The fact that
10,000 feeble-minded persons are either cared
for privately or not cared for at all Is not
precisely pleasant, nor la It cqnsollng to note
that the three Pennsylvania Institutions
specially designed for care of these unfor
tunates are overcrowded and have waiting

Speaking of Final Reckonings
Wo got n lot out of tho intngllo section
of last Sunday's Puni.io LuDontt, especially
tho picture under which wo read: "Tho
remnants of the Serbian nrmy retreating be
fore tho Teutonic allies. Thus another llttlo
country la ntlded to the list of thoso upon
which has fallen tho wrath of tho Huns
because real nntlona Iinvo thwarted their
drenms. Hence, there Is Just a llttlo to bo

terested tis. Somehow It reminded us of
Ireland.

Doctor Hamilton in Philadelphia '
Saturday, Juno 9, 1741. I never was In a
pluco so populous where tho gout for ptibllck
gay diversions prevailed so little. There Is no
such thing ns assemblies of the gentry among
them, cither for dancing or muslcls; tlicso they
havo had an utter aversion to over since
Whltefleld preached nmong them. Their chief
employ, Indeed, Is trnlllck and mercantile busi
ness, which turns their thoughts from tlicso
levities. Somo Virginia gentleman that came
hero with the Commissioners of tho Indian
treaty wero desirous of having a ball, but
could find none of tho female box In a humour
for It. Strange Influence ot religious enthusiasm
upon human nnttue to excite nn aversion nt
thrso Innocent amusements, for the most part,
so agreeable and entertaining to the young and
gay, nnd, Indeed, In the opinion of moderate
people, so conductive to the Improvement of
politeness, good manners and humanity.
T dined at tho trivern, and returning homo
artor dinner, I read part of a book Intely writ
by Fielding, entitled "The Adventures of Joseph
Andrews," a mnstorly performance of its kind,
and entertaining; the characters of low lifo here
nto naturally delineated, and tho whole per
formance Is so good that I have not seen any
thing of that kind equal or excel It.
This proved a rainy afternoon, which, because
It abated the sultry heat, was ngrccable. I
drank tea with Collector Alexander, where I
saw Mr. H 1.
Their conversation turned upon the people on
Bntbntlocs, and as I knew nothing of tho priv
ate history of that Island, I only sat nnd heard,
for they went upon nothing but private char
acters and persons. This Is a. trespass on good
manners, which many well-bred people fall
Into thro' Inadvertency, two engrossing all tho
.conversation upon a subject which Is strango
and unknown to a third person there.

(Jtf2 St., July 18, 18-s
Jilt. BANNISTCU:
Dear Sir: I am In receipt of your courteous
letter, containing r. declaration of love. I will be
frank enough to admit that, while I. havo been
sensible uf our affeittonnto regard for me for
bom tuunthe, J have also cherished a growing In
tercut In iju. In truth, to Make n candid confes
sion, I most sincerely love jou. I should, perhaps,
say nr more but I feel It due tn you. as well aa
to myself, to be strictly honest In my expression,
lest we foxier this growing love, which under pres
ent conditions must be broken oh".
I have nlwus adi.ilred your natural ability! I
appreciate ynu for your Industry; I respect ou
for ynur filial conduct towards your parents. In
fact, I consider you quite a model man, were It
not for ono habit; I have reference to the use of
tobacco. Apparently, this Is a little thing. I am
aware that ludlea generally consider It beneath
their nntlco; but uo thoroughly convinced am I
that It Is one of the most destructive habits, sap
ping the morality and vigor ot our young men,
that 1 rouUl never consent to wed a man addicted
to Its us, my reasons being as follous:
It irouhl impoierlsi tny home. Only ten cents a
day expended for a dear. In a lifetime ot 40 years,
with lie accumulations of Intercut, amounts to over
14000! The little sum of 11 cents per day, saved
from llng squandered on tobacco and properly
put at Interest, amounts In that time to IS160I
No wonder so many homes, the lieailu of which
use tobacco, are without the comforts of life!
It might icrrck mu 7iapiiuess. It Is a uell-kuown
fhyslologlcal fact that the use of tobacco deadens
he sense of taste, that wuter and all common
drinks become Insipid and taatelem when tobacco
Is used, so that tho person using the same Involun.
tarlly craves strong drink, In order to tajle It.
Therein lies the foundation of a large uhare of the
drunkenness of the country.
ft u.uM surround me ivflh filth, la say nothing
of the great drain on the physical health by the
loustunt expectoration of saliva, thus ruining the
health of many robust constitutions, I could not
endure the fetid breath of the tobacco user; physi
ology proving that, with tobacco chewers. nearly
all the waste llulds from th body pass through the
mouth.
While I devotedly love Yyou, I cannot consent
that sou should bestow your affections upon a
person that would Instinctively repel you. Believ
ing, therefore, under tho circumstances, that our
further correspondence should cease. 1 am

THE YOUNGSTER
OTMISSOURI
Hadley an Orator Since His Boy
hood, Which Wasn't Very Long
Ago Strengthened Himself
by Outdoor Life
T1II3 name of Henry Spencer Hndlcy na n
presidential possibility, 1916 model, seems
to havo dropped nut of tho calculations of
tho political prognostlcators. It la not Im
possible, however, thnt It will be heard again
before tho summer la out.
Borah's nnmo haa also
disappeared from the
reckoning. In hla caso tho
disappearance Is partly to
bo explained by the Inten
tions of the owner. Borah
is still young. Ho doesn't
want to become a back
number through too much
booming before tho tlmo
Is ripe. Tho year 1920
W Q?l will suit him qulto as well
n. s. HADi.nv ns tho year 1916. Such,
at least. Is the Impression his nttltudo con
veys. Ilndley Is a young man, too only
forty-four. He won't be forty-four till next
Sunday.
Until 1910 Missouri hadn't had a Republican
Governor In thirty-six years. To amend the
situation a boy was born In Olathe, Kansas,
In 1S72. When 1903 came tho boy had becomo
a grown-up nnd ho was ready for tho job.
Hartley's grandfather, Jeremiah Hadley,
conducted a Quaker mission school at Shaw
nee, not fur from Olatho. Tho boy's father
was a Quaker. He was also a well-to-do
miller and tho owner of several prosperous
fnrms. Ho sent his son to theUnlverslty of
Kansas and then to tho law school ot North
western University. At college and law
school young Hudley was a star orator. His
clear, deep voice and winning personality
mado him an exceptionally effective speaker.
Of slender build and somewhat under tho
medium height, with firm, clear-cut features,
ho posessed a personality at once engaging
and militant.
A Sudden Nomination
, From tho time of receiving his law school
diploma Hadley was successful in hla- pro
fession. Hi' opened a law ofllco In Kansas
City, Mo., wliero his mastery -of tho law, to
gether with his attractive but forceful per
sonality and Ills gifts of oratory, won him
immediate prosperity at the bar.. Ho worked
hard ut private practice and as public prose
cutor until his health began to weaken, when
he went out to Now Mexico and lived a while
on a ranch. Ho developed tho habit of living
outdoors aa much as possible. He owns a
farm, where he spends much of hl8 time, and
la an enthusiastic horseman and golfer. Ho
Is also fond of hunting. Like Roosevelt, ho
hn3 overcome tho handicap of a frail consti
tution. For two years Hadloy served as Assistant
City Counselor' of Kansas City and fpr two
years . as prosecuting attorney for Jackson
County. In twenty-one months ho disposed
of twenty-one murder cases, securing con
victions in all but one, tho Jury dlsagreping
In that Insjance. On retiring from ofllco ho
told himself and his friends that ho was
going to devote himself henceforward en
tirely to private practice. But in 1905 ho at
tended tho Republican State Convention.
There were several candidates for Attorney
General. Hudley rose to speak In behalf of
one of them. Suddenly somobody shouted,
"Hadley for Attorney General!" Others took
up tho cry, and Hadley was'nomlnated by ac
claim. Nobody, not even the Republicans,
had any expectation that tho Republican
ticket could win, "uut in the ensuing cam
paign overy man on It was elected except the
gubernatorial candidate, who was defeated
by Folk, Hadloy then began bis career ns a
trust buster. He gained a national reputa
tion for his successful cases against the
Standard Oil Company, tl)0 railroads, the
Harvester Trust, the Insurance and Lumber
Trusts and-the race track gamblers ot St.
Louis.
In 1909 ho was elected Governor, He ,had
not wished to becomo, a candidate, but Taft
had sent him this word: "You are, the only
man who can win. Unless you run I lose
Missouri." Hudley and Taft won, t
lie Shows Missouri
As Governor Hadley perforrhd. Important
services in securing thor-uevelopment of. un
used land. Missouri waa rich In. agricultural
land which had never been touched by the
plow, also in land possessing neglected re
sources in the Vay ot'mlnlpg) and lumbering.
He started out on a campaign of, education
actually went out personally-to jalk wjtb. the
Mlssouriana, He traveled down" 'rivers on
rafts, camplne at night on the, shore. He
drove over the country roads, awakening the.
farmers to the need ot sclentltlo methods of
agriculture and cattle culture. Ha made good
us of publicity. He preached the gospel oi
tfea te,ta?i3$ e good, rc-vla, of food uchooLi

and churches. Tho result of It all became
soon apparent, but has not reached Its culmi
nation. In tho Republican National Convention of
1912 Hadloy was floor leader of tho Roosevelt
forces. Ho refused, however, to cmlgrato
from tho Republican party when the Bull
Mooscr bolted. Hndlcy has faith In tho pro
grcsnlvcncss of tho Republican party. "It 13
claimed," he says, "that thero has been a
general slowing up, a reaction ngnlnst pro
gressive legislation and policies throughout
tho country. 'Mothers pension laws in Now
York nnd a substantial list of progressive
laws In Pennsylvania and Republican Statca
of tho Ceftral West fall to show It."
Definition of Progrcssivism
The break, ho says, waa not on nccount of
differences over questions of national policy,
but over questions incident to tho control of
tho party organization. "Tho Republican
platform of 1912, though framed largely by
tho representatives of tho conservative cle
ment of tho party, was tho most progressive
platform upon which it has ever naked tho
support of the American people. Had not
other Issues, moro personal and interesting,
occupied tho attention of thp voters in that
campalgnthls fact would havo been moro
clearly Impressed upon tho minds of tho
voters."
Kx-Govcrnor Hadloy speaks of "progrca
slvism"us follows; " 'Progresslvlsm' describes
moro an nttltudo of mind than a platform of
political principles. To bo progressive is to
bo open-minded, to recognize tho existence
of evils nnd to consider without prejudice
measures for their correction. It is the
antithesis of that mentnl attitude which views
with satisfaction things aa they aro and
glorifies the established order. President
Wilson has described a progressive as 'a forward-looking
man. But 'a forward-looking
man' may bo simply an idealist and a theo
rist, whilo a true progressive should bo
guided by the wisdom nnd experlenco of the
past In his efforts to solve tho problems of
tho present and tho future'. In a platform
written by former Senator Hoar for the Re
publicans of Massachusetts, the Republican
party was once somewhat poetically declared
to bo a party with a mind ever open to the
morning and tho sunlight, ever open to new
thoughts and now duties, aa tho new years
bring their leasons. If tho Republican party
in tho nation can live up to this ideal of
political' conduct, It will contlnuo to attract
to Its ranks a majority of tho young men of
tho" country; it can truly claim to be a party
of progress."
THE "YANKEE" CONTROVERSY
How did tho word "Yankee" originate? The
question still occasions controversy. There
seems to bo very good authority for the claim
that the word Yankee was derived from the
manner In which the Indiana endeavored to
pronouueo tho word English, which they ren
dered Yenghees, whence the word "Yankee."
The statement In Irvlng'a "Knickerbocker's
History of New York" concerning the tribe of
Yankees la a mere Joke, and to this suggestion
the New York Gazetteer added tbat ''the Yankees
wero so Indomitable that the Purltanv'of New
Ungland, after subduing them, adopted their
name, according to an Indian custom which gave
the name of the conquered to the conquerors."
Tho statement that there was a tribe of Indians
Known ns "Yankees" Is not to bo relied upon, as
no history ot New England makes any mention
of that redoubtable trbe, nor can there be any
authority for tho belief that the custom spoken
ofi by tho Gazetteer ever existed among the
Aborigines ot America,
An effort has been made to attribute the pame
to the ponular revolutionary song, "Yankee
Doodle," tlta origin of which an attempt has
been made to trace to the words "Yenghl
Dounla," which Is said to have been very good.
Persian for America. It Is hardly likely that
such an Insular and stationary people as the
Persians should ever have heard of America to
the extent that they would coin a word espe
cially to express the name of the country.
The word "Yankee" undoubtedly had the
Yenghees origin referred to above, but it does
not seem to have been very common until the
time of the Revolutionary War, So far as la
known, the word Is contained In no writings
previous to that time, and In letters In which
the word occuts written In 1T75 it Is referred to
as something new. Noah Webster, In his Dic
tionary, gives tho Yenghees origin of the word.
That the word "Yankee" was rather uncom
mon In New England In the Revolutionary
period Is shown by various letters written from
there. The word was eo unusual that the
writers thought themselves obliged to explain
t. i It was soon, however, adopted, npd In a few
months thereafter tho citizens of, Newbury fitted
out a privateer called the "Yankee Hero." The
name shortly afterward began to be used gener
ally when speaking of the New- Englanders,
being spelled at times Yankle, Yanko, Yankoo,
Yapku and Yankee, as it Its orthography was
not settled. At the present time the word Is
only appllad in the United States to the inhabit
tarija of the New England Spates, but foreigners
uie-,it to designate ali Americans.
