(iarriaon as utterly failing la meet the
eeeenttal objections lo th perpetuation
of a militia system. II Inal.led the
difficuliy l;d not arise out of the, Gov
ernment's not being- able to take over
Ih.a troop,, bul out of Its Inability
under Ih Constitution lo have "the
ra.ar.lial unity of responsibility, au

rollowli.g an Interview between thj
rrealdent and Mr. Garrison on the
Army plans, lha Secretary again wrote
trt rre.!ent speclflcaUy stating bl
position. Th t'residrnt Informed him
that Mr. Hay had lold him a Federal
Volunteer system could not be ob
lalnad. and that th same er.d could be
achieved by btillilng Ih slat troops
and making appropriations to pay lo
th stats on condition that th fed
eral Government control the militia.
Mr. Garrison then repliant that tha
continental army plan absolutely dis
carded a military system based on
tata Iroopa and that the two s stems
were diametrical! opposed lo each
ctber aad are Irreconcilable. "We are
challenged." he m rota, "by th existing
situation lo declare ourselves promptly,
openly and unequivocally, or be charged
property with lack of sincerity and
good faith." II adJed that since Mr.
Wll.ons word was final, he did not
wl.h to cause any embarrassment and
would withdraw if It would relieve the
situation.
tllaa IeeeJIaea to Tab (Head.
Th lTe,!dent wrote In reply that he
and the tiecretary agreed that the chief
thing necessaiy for th Army was
"that we should have a trained cltl
srn reserve and that the training, or
ganisation and control of that reserve
should h under Immediate deral dl-
rei-Uon. He declined. however, to
take an Irrevocable stand on the ground
that It would not be proper for him
to say to a commute of t'oncresa that
It would have to lake his plan or none.
II declared that he did not believe
members of th House dealing with
military affairs were icnorsnt nf the
military necessities of the Nation, but
bad found them well informed.
II said he would welcome a frank
Interchange of views, but added: "No
one will epct me lo acqule.ee In any
proposal that I regard aa Inadequate
or Illusory." Should a Mil bo presented
to him which he could nol accept aa
accomplishing the essential thing
sought, be said. It would be his duty
to veto It and go to the country on
Its merits.
Th view of th President and Mr.
Garrlsnn were reviewed In other let
ters, which culminated In the offering
and acceptance of the Secretary s res
ignation.

"I am convinced that unless the sit

"So far as the military part of Na.
tional defense Is concerned, there can
b no honest or worthy solution which
does hot result In National forces un
der th exclusive control and authority
of the National Government. Any other
solution Is Illusory and not real; ap
parent and not substantial.
There la a perfectly legitimate iieia
of discussion and debate as to the
meana of obtaining these National
forces. Th proportion thereof that

forces.
iJteb; f fyslesa CrIHclseo.
"r-rom'th beginning of the Govern
men! to this time, excepting during
nerioda of actual war. tha acknowl
edged weakness and defect of the sit
uation arose out of the lack or any
system producing Iheso Federal forces.
The situation was rendered worse by
the presence of state troops, raised, of
ficered, trained and governed by the
atatee. that were assumed to be a mm
tary reliance for th Nation, when in
f .i thev are not and can never be
made lo be. Under the Constitution
of the Cnlted Stales, these state troops
must always be governed, officered
nd trained by the respective states.
"The first line of cleavage, there
fore, which most be encountered ana
dealt with by the student of the situa
tion Is between reliance upon a system
of state troops, forever subject to con
stitutional llmltallona which render
hem absolutely Insecure as a reliance
for the Nation, or rellnnco upon ra-
mtuil forces raised, officered, trained
and controlled by the National authorl-
les. t'pon this subject there doe not
exi.t and Iher cannot legitimately
exist, any difference of opinion among
hose who are unbiased and wno Be
lieve In real National security and de
fense.
Male Troops gyatem Oppeaea.
"The policy recommended to you and
accepted by you squarely placed me
Nation upon the sure foundation of Na
tional forces. If that policy Is made
ffecllva by legislation there win d
secured to this country for the first
ime a real, stable foundation for tne
military part of its National ociense.
If. however. Instead thereof a policy
Is adopted bacd upon the state troops
the main reliance or tnis country
roe ii. military arm. not only naa no
advance been made from the deplorable
nd Inexcusable situation In which we
ave so long been, but an effective
block has been placed across tne patn
veny toward a proper settlement. The
adoption of such a policy would serve
o delude the people inio oeneving
hat the gubject had been settled, ana
therefor required no further consld-
ration upon their part. it wouia
therefore, in my Judgment, ne innnne-
worse than an entire failure of ail
legislative enactment upon tne suo-
ect. The latter would at least leave
It open f jr future settlement.
"I. of course, am not advised aa to

Mr. Hay-. to you In the conversations

nt senslon. I have always leu, ana

Mr. Hay has now made open decla-

and by public opinion ana u
Ilouae am a real solution of this Tltal
matter, inr nosition subsequently tak
en will be negligible, so far as sub
stantial results are concerned.
laaue Clearly Drawn.
The issue must be plainly and clear
ly drawn. It has nothing whatever to
rfo with the numbers of men to be
raised or with the means of raising
them, as Mr. Hay would have it appear
that it has. It is between two bdbo
lutely different systems, one of which
la based noon the Nation undertaking
upon Ita own responsibility the raising
and management of tne iNauonm
troops: and the other of which leaves
us in the position that we have always
been in since the institution of the
Government to rely upon the states
doing these things fdr the Nation
a situation in which the Nation Is re-
lvlnir uton a. military force that it
does not raise, that it does not officer,
that It does not train, and that it aoes
not control. A mere statement of the
situation shows that the two different
oroposala are as wide apart aa any
two proposals upon any subject pos
alhlv ran he.
"Mr. llsv s proposal to Include a draft
or compulsory provision, so that at
the outbreak of war the Nation could
bring under its control these state
trom.a iitterlv fails to meet the essen
tial objectiona to the perpetuation of
th mllltia svstem. The, auucuiiy iu
be dealt with does not arise out oi me
(iovernmenta not being able lo.iano
over these troops In the event of war,
but arises out of its Inability, under
th. r-onatitutlon. to have the essential
imltv of resDons bility. authority ana
con trol In the raising, officering, train
inir and governing of Its military
forces.
Karly Declaration l rged.
-if the nubile obtains the Impres
le... that Mr liav's solution Is another
-means of accomplishing tne same cnu
a. vone nronosed policy, they will ac
rent tha same and rest content, mai
their desires have been properiy mei.
if on the other hand, they are clearly
and unmistakably advised that to adopt
the policy suggested y Mr. nay is m
make a mockery of all that was worthy
and virtuous In the proposal of a pr
er military policy and that it is a de-
ion tn consider sucn a solution aa
real reliance or security, tnen mere
i. hon that we can obtain results com
mensurate with the necessities of the
case and with a self-respecting consid-
and treatment thereof.
"I cannot, therefore, too strongly
urge upon you my view of the impera.
tiv necessity of your seeking on oc
casion at the earliest ;iossible moment
to declare yourself with respect to the
matter, and In doing so to make it
clear beyond peradventure ' iat noth
ing except National forces, raised by
the Nation and subject to its exclusive
authority, responsibility and control. Is

Wallowa Suburbs Home Destrojod.
WALLOWA, Or.. Feb. 10. (Special.)
Tho residence of w. D. Greer in the
suburbs of Wallowa was burned to the
ground yesterday. The family was
away from home at tne time tne lire
broke out, but it is supposed it started
from a defective fireplace and had
been smouldering a long time before it
broke out. It was Impossible to get
water on the fire.
Satisfied that I had finally caught
my atride, and tickled to death that,
at last. I had a chance to torn my pro
fessional training Into real, clanking;
dollars. I made up my mind to estab
lish myself In the town for a time. I
opened an office In the hotel, rigged up
an old r o c k I n a - chair and nn up
holstered soap-box, and went after the
business like a rat-terrier.
The next day I took in $S. Out of
thin huiii 1 aent my mother 5 to help
the family In its straitened circum
stances. The other S3 I stuffed Into
my Jean.
The clatter of those allver pieces In
the place where coin had been absent
so long was one of the most delightful
snnndx I ever heard. It made me feel
like a man again.
Once more I looked that " ethics "
question In the fare, and had a stand
up talk with myself. I couldn't see
why, heeanse I was striking out on a
new line, I was doing anything wrong,
even if all the dentists In the world ob
jected to my peddling my good, like a
huckster. "Kthic mlsrht make pleaa
ant reading, but It liad proved poor
