MAKING GUARDSMEN REGULARS
E1 ery friend of the National Guard
is pleased with the present tendency
to give that useful and patriotic body
the recognition it deserves.
The guardsmeu have had a long,
hard struggle against public indiffer-
ence, lack of funds and actual diacrim-
ination against them on the part of
employers. But all that is rapidly
changing, with the new interest in mil-
llili‘y matters inspired by the demand
for better national defense.
The secretary of war has taken a
stand which, if maintained, will glvoE
the militia vastly increased prestige.
He announces that, as part of the ad-
ministr'ations plans for .—re organiza-'
tion of the army, he proposes to give
the 1111111111111 guardsmen the saints of
regular soldiers. Any militia detach-
ment. if his plan goes through, 11111
be taken over Just as it is. the officers
keeping their commands, and wow
members, whether oflicer or private,
' having the title and salary prescribed
for the regular army
All this is excellent. There i{ an
othel leform. however. which has been
tentatively suggested and might be
even more fruitful of good results. The
=chief stumbling block of the national
‘guard has always been the liability of
!guardamen to. serve as police in cup-
‘preaaing riots, putting down strikes
etc. The frequent use of the militia
'in labor disputes, has given labor or-
ganizations a strong piojudice against
it, and that prejudice interferes ser-
' iously with-tho proper development of
a the militia as an adequate auxiliary to
the 1"egula1 army. The opposition of
union labor has cooperated with the
hallway objection of most citizens to
_sucl1 duties, and thus kept down the
enlistment
«Nothing, perhaps, would do more to
raise the militia to real honor and
t popularity than the elimination of this
4 Laisagreeable function.
It has been chprged, with consider-
i able appearance of truth, that the use
-of the militia in labor disputes in un-
