PROBLEM OF STATE GUARD

Governor to Present Question at Governor’s Conference. When Governor Goodrich goes to Washington to -attend the Governor’s readjustment conference, December 16-18, one of the problems he will lay before the conference is what the states are to do about state military forces, now that the obliteration of the national guard and state militia seems imminent. It is possible that the next legislature may be called on to make some provision for a state police or constabulary to replace the militia, which some believe also may not be • continued beyond the time when peace is restored. ♦ The annual Inspection of the state militia is now in progress under the direction of Colonel Charles Garrard.
