The uuestion "have you formed any opinion on the (iiiestion of universal militaiy training" was asked of filJ officers of national guard organiza¬ tions on duty ou the .Mexican border. The list of ofllcers included the colo¬ nel, captain and first sergeant of every organiziition . Kive luindred of the ofTlcers asked deeliind tliemselves ill favor of universal iiiilitaiy train¬ ing and ten opposed.

.\ St. l.ouis man proposes to stop wai' hy piiying the soldiers of the enemy ,$l,UOt) each to desert. Ile has figured out tliai it costs a IJirnpciin nation |:!7,(iU(i lo kill a mau in the present war and that deserters at JL- Ot)t) a piece would be a hig bargain. Apparently his calculations slopped short of the obvious conclu.sion that the enemy could make more than $1. 0(10 apiece by fighting. A man who would desert his colors for IKOOO would not he above breaking his par¬ ole and coming up again for anoiher Ihousand not once hut as long as the money held out. A better recipe for stopping war and a thoroughly American one is: "Not a cent for tri¬ bute but millions for defense."
During the last fiscal year the At¬ torney General's office turned into the State Treasury $738.iiOtl recover¬ ed on suits and In fees, fines, penal- te.'s illld collections of various sorts. Tbal the department was ahle to turn Into fhe treas'.iry more than twice as much as was spent to maintain it is not a matter of.Hrst Importance, but It gives some idea ot one line of ac¬ tivity In one of the most Important departments of the State. There is an enormous amotint of litigation in which the State is Interested at all tlmea and the volume was never as large as at present when It Is swell¬ ed with thousands of claims result¬ ing from the construction of the barge canal.

Governor Whitman called attention the otiiei day lo uic way the present crisis en.phasizi^d the need for the establish.iient of a State police force, and predicted that the onstabulary bill, reiently inttoduced in the Leg¬ islature by Senator Ogden L. Mills, would pass at this sessltm. This hill IS n, be pressed imnuKliately. and Seiiatoi- Henry .M. Sage, chair¬ man of the Senate Finance committee announced that there would be a pub¬ lic hearing on it iu the near future.
"I have received a nuniber of tele¬ grams asking that I send an emer¬ gency message to the Legislature cer¬ tifying to the necessity for the im¬ mediate piissage of the Slate Police bill." said the Governor. "I hardly think I need go that far. 1 am luari- ily In favor of the bill, and I think it will pass at this session."
"Mow about the constabulary in re lation to the present crisis'" the Governor w ii-; asked
"I think the present situation em¬ phasizes the need and value of the establishment of a State police force," he replied.
"It will make it measurably easier to recruit men for the National Guard If that body is relieved of the police duties now imposed on it. And the State police would be an effective force to fall back upon when the nillitla is wanted for other pur¬ poses."

A man who would desert his colors for IKOOO would not he above breaking his par¬ ole and coming up again for anoiher Ihousand not once hut as long as the money held out. A better recipe for stopping war and a thoroughly American one is: "Not a cent for tri¬ bute but millions for defense."

"I have received a nuniber of tele¬ grams asking that I send an emer¬ gency message to the Legislature cer¬ tifying to the necessity for the im¬ mediate piissage of the Slate Police bill." said the Governor. "I hardly think I need go that far. 1 am luari- ily In favor of the bill, and I think it will pass at this session." "Mow about the constabulary in re lation to the present crisis'" the Governor w ii-; asked "I think the present situation em¬ phasizes the need and value of the establishment of a State police force" he replied. "It will make it measurably easier to recruit men for the National Guard If that body is relieved of the police duties now imposed on it.
