A DEMOCRACY IN ARMS
The mtlltla of the United States shall
consist of all able-bodied male cltltens
of the United Htates, and all other able
bodied males who hare or shall have
declared their Intention to become cltl
tens of tho United States, who ahall be
more than eighteen years of age and,
except ae hereinafter provided, not
more than forty-five years of age; and
' said mllltla shall be divided Into three
classes, the National Ounrd, the Naval
Mllltla and the Unorganised Mllltla.
From the army reorganization law,
OOTH the Federal and tho Btate con
etltutlons are framed on the assump
tion that the first duty of a citizen Is to
defend his country. Every citizen Is a
potential soldier, There used to be a gen
eral training day, when the males of mili
tary ago were summoned to drill. Every
such male wan enrolled by the captain In
his district, and each man had to arm
himself.
v-Wo -have wandered so far from this
early view that there aro doubtlees thou
sands of men In Philadelphia who aro not
awaro that they are Included In the mlll
tla by law and aro liable to summons to
take arms. We never think of the
mllltla as Including the whola male popu
lation of military ago. We think that the
mombers of tho National Guard are the
only militiamen.
To the members of the National Guard,
however, belongs the distinction of volun
tarily qualifying themselves to fight
effectively when their services are needed.
It is a distinction which no ono should
attempt to belittle.
The Fhlladelphlans who have beon on
the Mexican border for tho last few
months are entitled to every honor
which the city can bestow on them when
they return next week. It matters not
whether the President accomplishes the
purpose for which he called them out,
and It Is of little consequenco whether one
believes that ho did well or 111 in taking
men from ' their buslnens and keeping
them along the Rio Grande. The Presi
dent is Commander-in-Chief of tho mili
tary forces of the nation, and it Is not
the place of any member of that force to
question the orders of his superiors. The
duty of the soldier Is to obey.
The Philadelphia troops have performed
that duty. Whon they parade on their
return to the city Broad street should
bo lined with envious citizens to cheer
them. These men were ready for what
ever duty lay before them. They were
prepared to go Into Mexico if need be
and engage in real war. That thoy did
not go is not to their discredit. If any
man can stand on tho sidewalk and watch
them march by without feeling a thrill
of prld.o, even If his eyes do not moisten
with patrlotlo emotion, he Is unworthy
of his citizenship.
Bo long as tKere are men with the
spirit of these guardsmen tho nation can
endure the spirit that Impels men to
take up arms to defend the national
honor and maintain the national pres
tige. It is not tho spirit of militarism,
because when every citizen feels It to be
his duty to serve as a soldier and when
the oflloere are taken from tho ranks
thero can be created nothing Ilka the
military casto spirit that has been the
curse Of Germany. A democracy In
arms Is tho Ideal toward which all those
Who believe In national preparedness aro
Striving. We shall make rapid progress
In that direction when we all understand
that It Is our duty to emulate these na
tional guardsmen and quality ourselves
for tho responsibilities ae well as the
privileges of citizenship,

WILSON'S SUFFRAGE DODGE
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir Speaking most earnestly to women
euftraglsts In Waahlngton on January 6
lust President Wilson saldt
I am tied to a conviction, which I
have had all my life, that changes of
this sort ought to be brought nbout
State by State. It Is a long-atandlng,
deeply matured conviction on my part,
and therefore I would be without excuse
to my own constitutional principles If
I lent my support to this very Important
movement for nn amendment to tho
Constitution of the United States.
At that meeting President Wilson ex
pressed In the strongest terms It was pos
sible for him to officially proclaim his pro
found concern over the methods by which
suffrage should win forward, and his seem
ingly unalterable objection to Its attain
ment by means of an amendment to the
Constitution of tho United States.
Presldsnt Wilson Is nut only a student of
American history, but he Is a writer thereof,
and no one knows better than he- that If
woman suffrage Is to be seoured State by
BUte It would never be granted In many
tjtates of the Union, He knows thnt the
fifteenth Amepdment to the Constitution,
conferring cltlxenanlp and suffrage upon the
colored men of this country, was negatived
by California, Delaware, Kentucky, Mary
land, New Jersey and Oregon, was never
acted on by Tennessee and Its adoption by
the eleven Southern States that seceded
from the Union was obtained by pressure
under the reconstruction act t and Mr. Wil
son knows that under a Federal amend
ment cltlsenshlp and suffrago was made
lawful In all the States.
Whtn Mr- Wilson was so firmly tied to a
conviction of a lifetime In January last
that woman suffrage should be brought
about State by State he had not been re
nominated for the presidency and his
"method" for securing It was aa fixed as
anything could be fixed In the Wilson mind j
but when the President appeared before 4000
members of the National Woman Suffrage
Association representing 4,000,000 women
voters on September I, 1016, at Atlantic
City and anxious to secure their support he
jellied them with Illusory mental mirages,
this among them)
I have come to suggest, among other
things, that when the forces of nature
are etcadlly working and the tide Is
rising to meet the moom you need not
be afraid thet It will not come to the
flood, We feel the tide we rejoice n
the strength of It, and we ehall not
quarrel In the long run as to the method
of It.
My appraisal of President Wilson's Atlan
tlo City speech Is, that ns there was not
one sentence, not one line or een a word
of that speech which committed him to
woman suffrage, Mr. Wilson's "long-standing,
deeply matured conviction prevented
him from lending his mijiport to this very
Important movement" for nntlon-wlde
woman BufTrnge. and that the State of New
Jersey will stand by Its record limiting suf
frage to white men only.
And my further appraisal Is that woman
suffrage will bo secured under the Eight
eenth Amendment to tho Constitution during
the term of Charles Trans Hughes as Presi
dent of the United Stntes.

IN DEFENSE OF THE JEWS
To tha Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir I am a Jew. This signifies a lot or
It means nothing to the readers of this
article. Some would condemn me for being
of this creed, while others would Ignore me
entirely. Why Is thrsT
America Is a free country, The air we
breathe Is free, elnc It has eo for kept
beyond the controt of the trusts. The
earth Is His; and we, both body and soul,
belong to Him.
How then can any one discriminate
against the Jew? How can any one take
upon his or her shoulders that trespassing
privilege of saying: "He Is a Jew; there
fore shun htm, because he has no right to
this country; he Is not on American?" How
can any one say this when the only true
citizen of America Is the Indian?
Somo would say tho Jew Is disgusting as
to oornmorce. I would say that commerce
le monotonous without the Jew, Has It
not been proved quite plainly In Spain, not
so many years ago, whon the Jew was
driven out of that country bythe strict
taboo that was placed on his rights, not to
speak of the many massacres in which he
waa the defendant, that commerce there
was demorallxed In a vtry short time, snd
even up to this day she Is not In It with
tho great progressive countries of the
world?
It Is my belief that the prejudiced ones
aro the Ignorant ones; and tho Ignorant
ones, of course, are not of much account
If they were not Ignorant, they would Im
mediately see that the country, which they
dare claim as their own, must lose Its most
progressUe ally In commerce; and, of
course, theso Ignorant ones will never be
lieve that we are a charitable race until
they look up statistics and learn what was
done by the Jews during the Itevolutlonary
War and after that time until this very
day In regard to financing this country
when America was In dire need.
I,et these prejudiced ones, which Is an
other name for Ignorant ones, consider and
try to remember what the Jew has done
to him or her. and he wilt find that. If there
Is the slightest difference, he or she is just
as much In the wrong as the Jew.
And let the large corporations remember
that It they had employed th capable Jews,
who had been rejtcted owing to their re
ligion, they4would now be twice as. strong,
Jew Is another name for commerce and
progress, and just as soon as the prejudiced
ones realise this they will be much better
Off. HAHHY SIICRMAN.
