In the past when there were no primaries the Sheriffs of this county were usually elected In Fourteenth Street long before the pills opened. After the election little or nothing was heard of them, they were so un- obtrusive. Their duties wero social and political as well as statutory. It was supposed to be an office of cer tain fiscal advantages, but eome of the hUCUinilMta have Mid that they left It as p as Job's turkey. A Tam- many Sheriff In those daye was generally a figure bead. Times btive changed, however.

There win b lethargy In it. and if ies- - tlny taps Big BlU on the shoulder.

A Sheriff with the muscles of a football guard and tl science of the author of "An Essay on the Freedom of the Will" ought to be quite n sheriff. The New Russian .Navy.

Four battleabrpa, of l'.'i.ikki tons and carrying twelve 13 Inch gUUa, were launched In the sum- mer and autumn of lull, and the presumption is that they are now In commission.

It was out August 2i, 191 1, that "the King's Most F.xovllont Mujowty" "that during the present hos tilities the convention known as thai Declaration of Ixiudon shall, subject to the following Id1t;-- ns ami modltl cations, be adojited and put 1n force by his Majesty's (lovemment as If. the seme hsd been rallfleil by his Majeety." Cotlmn was not mentioned 1n t lie "additions ami modifications," which made over or qualified ccrtaiin jiro visions of the Declaration to suit the British fsilnt of view.

The question Is ralsrd why F.ng-lan- reCOgnlaad the Declaration of Iondon at ail In her second ( irdor in Council, nnd we MppoM the answer Is that it iltd her smven1ei'e, jus' aa It pleases her now to put cotton on the absolute OMatHhaUtd list.

To ths EtitToe or Ths Ht'N Mr: I have read with avidity every word of Ths Si ns Intensely Interesting ac- counts of activities at the i'lattsburg college and bualnesa men's training camps. one fact stands out Impressively above all others : tha men at Plattshurg are learning the rudiments of soldiering with an aptness totally alien to ordi- nary recruits. The regular army off- icers report that thege "rookies" at I'lattsburg learn more lessons In the school of the soldier dally than ordinary tyros learn In a moon. It may be as- sumed that the officers In charge have done their utmost to devise no easy schedule of work and study, and the "silk stockings" have demonstrated to a somewhat dubious country that they are more than prepared, both mentally and physically, to cope with the tasks assigned them. What will he the obvious result of this experiment? At the oxptratton of a period of one month there will be graduated from this school camp twelvo hundred soldiers. I. orb of them would I be quite competent In the event of a crisis culling for thousands of volun- teers to take his place In the Incalcu- lably Important work of whipping the raw material Into shape. If, In such a contingency, each one were assigned to the tank of training, let us say, one hundred recruits. In three months time the result would be ltn.oon fairly ca-- I pable fighting units. General Wood's experiment, therefore, will put at the service of the Government 1,200 toler- ably competent officers and potentially 120, nnn fairly good private soldiers. Larger results should spring from these beginnings. There In In this coun- try a constant male student population In attendance at our universities and colleges numbering about 200,000. As- suming that 40 per cent., or HO.nno. of this number have to support themselves. their summers are spent In profitable labor. There remain 120,000 comprising the class vulgarly known as "student Idle rich." In what manner the latter clans epend their summers Is well known. At the end of each academic year a goodly percentage of them flit off to Kuropo, provided there are no wars or rumors of wars thereabout The remainder go to our mountain and seaside resorts, where they an- - engaged the summer through In one Continuous round of bathing, boating, motoring. tennis, dancing and bridge playing It Is to tho patriotism of this class of student, as free aa air, that the I ntted States Government, through a well de- fined system of summer military in- struction camps, should appeal. These men are for the most part fit physically They are trained mentally. of them the best soldiers tn the world could be fushloned In tho shortegt time. Platta burg Indubitably establishes that propo- sition. Instead of one we nhould have a hun- dred military camps after the Plattshurg model. Twenty-fiv- e P.aiusand trained offb-er- s in three months time could j mould out of raw recruits a flghtlng force of 2,500,000 men. Corral even Su.noo of these 120,000 Idle students, give them three months training In arms each summer, and provided Uncle Sam will undertake to keep in stis-- suf- ficient guns, ammunition and other jslnrwa of war to furnish armies winch these men, when trained, can fashion, a step of the utmost importance will have been taken toward the solution of this country's problem of military pre- paredness. Wltti a force thus trained to shape a large volunteer army to 'supplement a regular army of laO.OOO men. S.VOOO more than are at present In the t'nlted Stateg army, nnd a well trained and thoroughly equipped Na- tional Guard of 250. noo, double the present number of militia of the states, we should be well prepared to meet confidently any emergency which might arise. As our grent problem Is to prepnn ourselves for national defence without exciting alarm in the mtnds of those 'who expatlste wildly on the dire po- ssibility of our becoming a "military" ration, the plan of extending the Platts- hurg experiment, as above outlined. Is submitted for the careful consideration of tin- alarmists mentioned Vale. 1012. New Voiik. August 23 GERMAN RAIDS ON ENGLAND.

It has been my fortune to be tnrrlted to debate many times the psat two years, and I have met nearly MM entire group of antl speakers on the platform In thla way. latst wlrrter, after I found that the nnt! speakers were always the swim group of profession a la, I replied to re- quests tn debate that I would be glad to epcak against any antl-snffra- woman provided that ahe would aasura me that she was not paid but was Mpeaklnir eolely from conviction, as I was. The challenge waa met only once, and then not by the speaker herself, but by another person, and I found out afterward that this speaker too was paid. There are a few well known loot ur ers before the public who npesk for auffrage for pay, and there are a number of paid organiiers in various parts of the Rtate, mostly college women who have given up better paying positions to work for suffrage, who are the most devoted band of hard workers for little money that I know. otherw-,- s the auffrage opeakers and workers are giving their services to a cause that they believe Is the mo"t Soportant In the world, and many of them even pay their own expenses If the unti-suf- f raglst leaders or speak- ers will aasure the public of an equally dlalntereated seirvlce In their cause we would be glad to hear It.

An IfrtSrlO utnry decree declaring the F,astrnan Kodak Company of Rochester "an illegal mo- nopoly which unduly nnd unreasonably restrains Interstate trade and commerce" was handed down to-d- In the fin teg Statea District Court hy Judge John n. Hare! Though It In asserted that no Irremediable hardship would result from separation of the present business lnt two or more Independent rnmpgmaa Judge Ifssel says that It Is not Intendtt to Indicate dissolution, division or re- organisation of the business of the r. fondants, but to give them opportunity to present to the court on November I a plan for the abrogation of the monopoly. Judge Hasel holds the defendants un- lawfully controlled Interstate trade In photographic supplies but not In moving picture films. Action by the Government was in. ntltuted on June . lsix. against the Eastman Kodak Company, a corporation of New Jersey; the Eastman Kodak Company, a corporation of New York, and George Eastman. Henry A Btreag, Walter 8. Hubbell and Frank S Nobis, officers and directors. The New J, may company la owner of the capit.il stock of the New York corporation. The defendants denied restraining trade or competition or engaging in s monopoly, and aasertrd that their status waa the result solely of the , n ation and development within their plants of products of a superior Quality, "It make no difference," eayg , n Hasel, "that the defendant corporations and the Individual defendants we e not tn fact competitors or rivals In business or separate entitles." Regarding an agreement of the Fast-ma- n company with the General Paper Company of Brussels, whereby contml of high class paper In the l'n:t dS an and Canada was obtained, the court save "It waa provided In tho event of com- petition arising It should be driven out of the market, and the General Paper Company agreed to pay a rel ate on all raw paper purchased from 11. The American makers of photographic paper thus became subservient to the Ooneral Paper Company and ths tin- man company accomplished Its purpose of controlling In this country the rw paper stock Industry, both foreign and domestic. "It Is undisputed that the t"Mstm.ui company controlled from 76 to gfl per cent, of the entire photographic supply trade. The burden rested upon the defend-ant- s to prove that this whs accomplished by lawful methods. I have core dtd that the Government has shown affirma- tively that InteratatC trade a: i com-mo- havo been unjustly .mil sbnor mally restrained by tho defendants hy the formation of a monopoly Induced bf wrongful contracts, with regard to ran paper stock; preventing the trade f:nm procuring such stock , by the eOQUiSltlQO of stock houses, competing pi, res and businesses, accompanied by COVOasStl restraining the vendors from reentering the business; and by the Imposition on dealers of arbitrary and oppressive te nn of sale lnconeistent With fair des ag, and suppressing competition. Such acts when takern together are most sigr M irvt and seem to me Indisputably to ,1 leloSi an Intention to violate the Sherman act" GUNS AT FT. TOTTEN TO ROAR.

In the past when there were noprimaries the Sheriffs of this countywere usually elected In FourteenthStreet long before the pills opened.After the election little or nothingwas heard of them, they were so un-

obtrusive. Their duties wero socialand political as well as statutory. Itwas supposed to be an office of certain fiscal advantages, but eome of thehUCUinilMta have Mid that they leftIt as p as Job's turkey. A Tam-

Making t'p the Contraband List ssShe (.oca Along.

F.nglnnd's declaration of codon ns"absolute contraband" suggests thatbefore the end of the wnr her contra-band list may include ever- proluotthat the enemy wants for any )nir-pos-

Yet enxly in the conflict Knglanl took the DlClinMOB if Ixmdoti,with some m si I float Ions, no her chart,although she had never ratified 1t

The Declaration (Article 2S) put cot-

ton umong the artJclcs that "may noibe dtH'lnrtsl onlrahnnd of war." Itwas out August 2i, 191 1, that "theKing's Most F.xovllont Mujowty"

"that during the present hostilities the convention known as thaiDeclaration of Ixiudon shall, subjectto the following Id1t;-- ns ami modltlcations, be adojited and put 1n forceby his Majesty's (lovemment as If.the seme hsd been rallfleil by hisMajeety."

Cotlmn was not mentioned 1n t lie"additions ami modifications," whichmade over or qualified ccrtaiin jirovisions of the Declaration to suit theBritish fsilnt of view. Previously,on August 4. an Order in (Vnmcll en--

to Russia that cotton shouldnot lie made absolute but conditionalcontraUiud.

The question Is ralsrd why F.ng-lan-

reCOgnlaad the Declaration ofIondon at ail In her second ( irdor inCouncil, nnd we MppoM the answerIs that it iltd her smven1ei'e, jus'aa It pleases her now to put cottonon the absolute OMatHhaUtd list.

"It ought not altogether to be leftto the dlseretlim of lielligcrents," nays(rPEMirjM, "to declare uy artlclee!they like aa abeotnta oontMtaiid.''Evidently Fnglaml does tmt subscribeto that dts'trlne. whatever she mayhave thought rtt It In the past.

FOR MORE PLATTSBURGS.

The Training Camp (teems to Holve

the Problem of Preparedness.To ths EtitToe or Ths Ht'N Mr: I

have read with avidity every word ofThs Si n s Intensely Interesting ac-counts of activities at the i'lattsburgcollege and bualnesa men's trainingcamps.

one fact stands out Impressivelyabove all others : tha men at Plattshurgare learning the rudiments of soldieringwith an aptness totally alien to ordi-nary recruits. The regular army off-icers report that thege "rookies" atI'lattsburg learn more lessons In theschool of the soldier dally than ordinarytyros learn In a moon. It may be as-sumed that the officers In charge havedone their utmost to devise no easyschedule of work and study, and the"silk stockings" have demonstrated toa somewhat dubious country that theyare more than prepared, both mentallyand physically, to cope with the tasksassigned them.

What will he the obvious result ofthis experiment? At the oxptratton ofa period of one month there will begraduated from this school camp twelvohundred soldiers. I . orb of them would

I be quite competent In the event of acrisis culling for thousands of volun-teers to take his place In the Incalcu-lably Important work of whipping theraw material Into shape. If, In sucha contingency, each one were assignedto the tank of training, let us say, onehundred recruits. In three months timethe result would be ltn.oon fairly ca-- Ipable fighting units. General Wood'sexperiment, therefore, will put at theservice of the Government 1,200 toler-ably competent officers and potentially120, nnn fairly good private soldiers.

Larger results should spring fromthese beginnings. There In In this coun-try a constant male student populationIn attendance at our universities andcolleges numbering about 200,000. As-

suming that 40 per cent., or HO.nno. ofthis number have to support themselves.their summers are spent In profitablelabor. There remain 120,000 comprisingthe class vulgarly known as "studentIdle rich." In what manner the latterclans epend their summers Is wellknown. At the end of each academicyear a goodly percentage of them flitoff to Kuropo, provided there are nowars or rumors of wars thereaboutThe remainder go to our mountain andseaside resorts, where they an- - engagedthe summer through In one Continuousround of bathing, boating, motoring.tennis, dancing and bridge playing ItIs to tho patriotism of this class ofstudent, as free aa air, that the I nttedStates Government, through a well de-

fined system of summer military in-

struction camps, should appeal. Thesemen are for the most part fit physicallyThey are trained mentally. of themthe best soldiers tn the world could befushloned In tho shortegt time. Plattaburg Indubitably establishes that propo-sition.

Instead of one we nhould have a hun-dred military camps after the Plattshurgmodel. Twenty-fiv- e P.aiusand trainedoffb-er- s in three months time could

j mould out of raw recruits a flghtlngforce of 2,500,000 men. Corral evenSu.noo of these 120,000 Idle students,give them three months training Inarms each summer, and provided UncleSam will undertake to keep in stis-- suf-ficient guns, ammunition and other

jslnrwa of war to furnish armies winchthese men, when trained, can fashion,a step of the utmost importance willhave been taken toward the solution ofthis country's problem of military pre-paredness. Wltti a force thus trainedto shape a large volunteer army to

'supplement a regular army of laO.OOOmen. S.VOOO more than are at presentIn the t'nlted Stateg army, nnd a welltrained and thoroughly equipped Na-tional Guard of 250. noo, double thepresent number of militia of the states,we should be well prepared to meetconfidently any emergency which mightarise.

As our grent problem Is to prepnnourselves for national defence withoutexciting alarm in the mtnds of those

'who expatlste wildly on the dire po-ssibility of our becoming a "military"ration, the plan of extending the Platts-hurg experiment, as above outlined. Issubmitted for the careful considerationof tin- alarmists mentioned

Paid Debaters n the Antl-RntTra-

Campaign?To the KntTon or Tits flt-- Sir: Will

you give me the csnrteoy of a littlespace to reply to Mrs. Rooneys ratterIn Ths Sl-n-, where ahe states that thesuffragists refuse to meet the antls Indebate because the debates have alwaysbeen ht to the suffrage side?

It has been my fortune to be tnrrltedto debate many times the psat twoyears, and I have met nearly MM entiregroup of antl speakers on the platformIn thla way.

latst wlrrter, after I found that thennt! speakers were always the swimgroup of profession a la, I replied to re-quests tn debate that I would be gladto epcak against any antl-snffra-

woman provided that ahe would aasurame that she was not paid but wasMpeaklnir eolely from conviction, as Iwas. The challenge waa met only once,and then not by the speaker herself,but by another person, and I found outafterward that this speaker too waspaid.

There are a few well known loot ur ersbefore the public who npesk for auffragefor pay, and there are a number of paidorganiiers in various parts of the Rtate,mostly college women who have givenup better paying positions to work forsuffrage, who are the most devoted bandof hard workers for little money that Iknow. otherw-,- s the auffrage opeakersand workers are giving their servicesto a cause that they believe Is the mo"tSoportant In the world, and many ofthem even pay their own expenses

If the unti-suf- f raglst leaders or speak-ers will aasure the public of an equallydlalntereated seirvlce In their cause wewould be glad to hear It. I did notmeet such an assurance once In my let-ters to the antl officials.

KODAK CO. DECLARED

ILLEGAL MONOPOLY

Earitmnn foncrrn Controls Tn- -,

tprstnto Tratip, Says I , s.Judge In Ruffiilo.

ABROGATION DEMANDED

BtTTAt-o- , Aug. 24. An IfrtSrlO utnrydecree declaring the F,astrnan KodakCompany of Rochester "an illegal mo-

nopoly which unduly nnd unreasonablyrestrains Interstate trade and commerce"was handed down to-d- In the fin tegStatea District Court hy Judge John n.Hare! Though It In asserted that noIrremediable hardship would result fromseparation of the present business lnttwo or more Independent rnmpgmaaJudge Ifssel says that It Is not Intendttto Indicate dissolution, division or re-

organisation of the business of the r.fondants, but to give them opportunityto present to the court on November Ia plan for the abrogation of themonopoly.

Judge Hasel holds the defendants un-

lawfully controlled Interstate trade Inphotographic supplies but not In movingpicture films.

Action by the Government was in.ntltuted on June . lsix. against theEastman Kodak Company, a corporationof New Jersey; the Eastman KodakCompany, a corporation of New York,

and George Eastman. Henry A Btreag,Walter 8. Hubbell and Frank S Nobis,officers and directors. The New J, may

company la owner of the capit.il stockof the New York corporation.

The defendants denied restrainingtrade or competition or engaging in smonopoly, and aasertrd that their statuswaa the result solely of the , n ationand development within their plants ofproducts of a superior Quality,

"It make no difference," eayg , nHasel, "that the defendant corporationsand the Individual defendants we e nottn fact competitors or rivals In businessor separate entitles."

Regarding an agreement of the Fast-ma- n

company with the General PaperCompany of Brussels, whereby contml ofhigh class paper In the l'n:t d S an andCanada was obtained, the court save

"It waa provided In tho event of com-petition arising It should be driven outof the market, and the General PaperCompany agreed to pay a rel ate on allraw paper purchased from 11.

The American makers of photographicpaper thus became subservient to theOoneral Paper Company and ths tin-man company accomplished Its purposeof controlling In this country the rwpaper stock Industry, both foreign anddomestic.

"It Is undisputed that the t"Mstm.uicompany controlled from 76 to gfl percent, of the entire photographic supplytrade. The burden rested upon the defend-ant- s

to prove that this whs accomplishedby lawful methods. I have core dtdthat the Government has shown affirma-tively that InteratatC trade a: i com-mo-

havo been unjustly .mil sbnormally restrained by tho defendants hythe formation of a monopoly Induced bfwrongful contracts, with regard to ranpaper stock; preventing the trade f:nmprocuring such stock , by the eOQUiSltlQOof stock houses, competing pi, res andbusinesses, accompanied by COVOasStlrestraining the vendors from reenteringthe business; and by the Imposition ondealers of arbitrary and oppressive te nnof sale lnconeistent With fair des ag,and suppressing competition. Such actswhen takern together are most sigr M irvt

and seem to me Indisputably to ,1 leloSian Intention to violate the Sherman act"
