Mr. Harrison is a representative in congress from New York. He owes his seat to Tammany Hall, and his large fortune-by-marriage. Doubtless he has performed his duty under the latter obligation by being a dutiful husband. He has at least on one occasion publicly repaid a portion of his obligation to the sinister power that misrules New York city and state, Tammany. During the great fight of the Insurgent Republican representatives against Speaker Cannon and Cannonism, Mr. Harrison was one of the Democrat members of the House who voted to uphold the despotic sway of the speaker. He stood for Cannon and Wall street rule against a reform of the house rules and government by the people. President Wilson certainly could have found some member of the progressive wing of his party for the important post of governor of the Philippines. It is a great pity he did not do so and pass up the eminent Mr. Harrison, clothed in purple and fine linen, a beneficiary of the Tammany system of commercialized votes and vice and the protector of white slavers for a share in the receipts, the synonym for all that is rotten and corrupt and debasing in the life of our nation.

time than we could concentrate a hundred thousand men at any one point in the entire United States. When that statement was born, Japan was an uneducated nation two months distant from our Pacific shores. Today Japan, following in the footsteps of Germany, has a transport service that could set an army down in this country in three or four weeks time. And even a month is too short a time for us to concentrate an army of a hundred thousand men at any one point along our Pacific coast. "In time of peace prepare for war!" We have spent our time wastefully and are inviting disaster.

THE MAGAZINE COVEK-GIRLS. 4 . The girls on the magazine covers Are beautiful creatures to see; They never chew gum, as they go or they come, Or wherever they happen to be; But charming and sweet from their heads to their feet They're smiling at you and me. The girls on the magazine covers I'm sure never powder or paint; By night and by day their charms with them stay, For none of them ever say "ain't"; No one ever gives vent to "I done" and "has went," Or those things ungrammatically quaint. The girls on the magazine covers At breakfast are splendid to see; They're as beautiful then as 8, 9 or 10, Which Is true, I' am sure you'll agree. And man never grieves, for those young women's sleeves Never trail in the butter or tea. Edgar A. Guest, in Detroit Free Press.

tive system of rural credits akin to systems employed in Europe. Senator Fletcher was chairman of the American commission on agriculture co-operation which returned to the I'nited States, July 26, after three months study of European systems of rural credit. He pointed out as the greatest weakness of the banking system of the United States, so far as it affects, farmers, the immobility of farm credits and the lack of co-operation among farmers. Farmers Must Organize. "It seems quite well established that economic evolution has made organization a necessity to farmers. Cooperation is suggested as a form of organization which would secure for them at once the highest business efficiency and the greatest social strength," said Senator Fletcher. "Co-operative organizations should be formed with a view, first, to improving their credit facilities; secondly, to increasing their control over the marketing of crops and to strengthening their position as buyers

KEEPING STILL ON A BET. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Good Reason for Pessimism Secretary of War Garrison and chief of general staff General Wood were both pessimistic in addresses delivered at Fort Logan, Colorado, yesterday, regarding the fitness of the United States to defend itself properly should some foreign nation suddenly attack it. There is good reason for such pessimism. The United States is totally unprepared to defend itself properly from foreign attack. While we have as good a standing army for its size as there is in the world as far as its personnel is concerned, it is improperly trained and distributed should an emergency arise requiring its rapid concentration. Our army posts, conceived of politics and born of the pork barrel, are scattered throughout the union. They are only large enough to accommodate a regiment each and wars are not fought in this day and age by regiments, but by army corps. Our army receives practically no drill as such. Its training is all along the lines of regimental drill. The European nations become armed camps at least once each year when large bodies of troops in each country are put through army maneuvers. This is not only to train the men,

but also to give the general officers valuable experience during times of peace to learn from 'practice how to handle armies in war times. No American general is ever given such opportunities to learn to handle an army through such practical experience. The pitifully inadequate maneuvers held in several states each year in which a regiment or two of regulars and a couple of regiments of militia participate, are the laughing stock of the trained generals of other countries. For some reason or another Americans are the most impractical people on earth when it comes to considering modern warfare. We are still living in the middle ages when it comes to what we think our personal prowess would do towards winning victory for our nation with untrained volunteers should we be plunged into an unexpected war. And modern wars are all unex

pected and sudden. Witness the breaking out of the Russian-Japanese and the Balkan-Turkish wars. Americans have a supreme belief that if an enemy attacks the United States we will drop the ploughshare, leave the factory and close dotyn our desks, seize our trusty rifles and utterly annihilate the foolhardy enemy. As a matter of fact, egged on by those who have been most demonstrative in their demands for our country's leading the way towards international peace by disarming before other countries have done so, patriots who will still be home egging others on to the front when the war is over, our volunteers on the fighting line will find that the hell General Sherman referred to in his famous description of war is a pink tea compared to the realities of modern warfare. One trained man with a modern four-hundred-aminute-shots machine gun could wipe out a regiment if fighting under the conditions that prevailed at the battle of Gettysburg. I Modern warfare is fought with machinery .' machinery of the most intricate kind. Cannon no longer are served in sight of the enemy. They are placed several miles in the rear and their fire is directed against the enemy's line by officers who are in reality scientists in mathematics.

fifty years it has discriminated against agriculture.

There has been no meeting of the commission since its return. November IS has been fixed for a general assembly of the members in Washington to review the work of the compilers, and formulate a report.
