* ? her Of me rejnsrafive educational surver commis

sion, has declared he will urge the commission to rec

ommend to the next legislature a state law making mili

tary instruction compulsory in the high schools of the

state.

There la a difference of opinion among authority* aa to whether

boat roaulta aro gained by compulsory or non compulsory methods. Or

P P. Clairton, U. I. commissioner of education, to ono who believes a

non-compulsory method would b« tho bottor. Ho ao advised Zednlck

when In Seattle, laat week.

The proposition of military instruction In the public schools la of

vital Interoot TO EVERY PARENT AND CHILD. So vital. In fact,

that Tho Star thought It worth whilo to aonrf a staff correspondent to

Wyoming to study a system of military preparedness that has been

worked out In that state. While the root of the country Is TALKING

preparedness. Wyoming IS prepared.

In this state the famoua "Swiss military system," which nearly all

authoritiea agree should be adopted by all America, le practically IN

EXISTENCE, and thousands of high school boys ars ysarly being

trained by Ita canons In the metnoos of national defense.

This, even Its former critice agree, Is a wonderful and

successful experiment Wyoming ie making In NATIONALISM,

thle turning out of an annual hoot —not of militarists—but of

r* HEALTHY, ACTIVE CITIZENS, TRAINED IN THE USE OF

ARMS!

THE FIRST OF THE ARTICLES ON THE "WYOMING FLAN

WILL BE PUBLISHED IN THE STAR TUESDAY. THE OTHERS

WILL FOLLOW FROM DAY TO OAY.

The Star believes the mothers and fathers of Se

attle ought to take an active interest in this matter.

For it is YOUR boy that they're planning to drill.

Shall our state legislature be urged by the educa

tional commission to adopt a CONSCRIPTION plan, or

should the course of training be furnished, and the boys

be permitted to volunteer. The Star believes YOU

should hare a voice in deciding the point.

READ THK ARTICLES ON THE "WYOMING

k PI.AN." AND THEN WRITE YOUR OPINION TO

h, THE EDITOR OF THIS PAPER.

FOR MAYOR .

VOTE FOR AUSTIN E. GRIFFITHS—Under all the elr

cumatancea in the preaent contest. Auatin E. Griffiths la logle

ally the man to be named mayor. Hla election will tend to

bury the bunk laeuea which have been fought out and definitely

aettled in the past. Moreover, Griffitha hae given coneiderable

study to adminlatrative detail, and his election will tend toward

an era In city adminlatration when a dollars worth of public

money wll buy a dollar's worth of service. Hie work as city

councilman and chief of police haa been satisfactory. He is a

irian ideals. The city will be much better off with Grif

fiths as mayor and Erlckaon as president of the council than

otherwise. Erlckaon is needed In the council. To the city he

Is just as valuable there as ha would be in the mayor'e chair,

perhaoa more so.

Gill offers nothing of any Importance to the city. He aet>ed to

be vidlcated two yeara ago. He said he would not run again.

He ahould have kept his word.

FOR CORPORATION COUNSEL

VOTE FOR THOMAS F. MURPHINE—Hie ability, courage

and integrity were put to the (est in two sessions of the legiela

ture, and he made good.

FOR CITY COUNCIL

VOTE FOR THREE OF THESE SIX: THOMSON. MOORE.

CASE, MARBLE, FITZGERALD. PAYSSE. The Star reeom

meeds Thomson and Moore, but makes no recommendation as
