DIUTINag, AIO.�t DPIFI.A TeL.
To the Eclitor of the New Era.,
Dem Sm, -1 have been a reader of your
paper for a great many years, and have
always waged that when you make any
reference to the militia of Canada, it ie to
either depreoiate it as a thoroughly melees
institution, or else to hold it up fo ridioule,
as a very itnperfeot organization, bet I
think you napped the climax in your issue
of Feb. 5, when you advocate the abolition
of the militia, and assure your readers that
we would be as eafe without any military
organization whatever. You must surely
fancy we have reached the millenium, or
else you have given the matter no thought.
The militia serves two purposee, it acts in
the first plane as a defence against any in-
vasion or insurrection, and secondly as an
aid to the civil power. War is always an
unpleasant, but always a possible contin-
gency. To those good people who imagine
the world is getting better, and is now so
thoroughly good that war is not a possible
contingency, it may seem cruel and ueelees
to train men to fight, but history tells us
plainly that the world is no better today
than it wap at the time of Napoleon, or
even in the Aii4eitleages. Just as horrible
butcheries, perstect4ions and tortures oo-
ourred in the yeas. ,of grace, 1896, as have
ever occurred in any pepi.od of the wolad's
history.
Take; for instance, or oven northwest re-
bellion; if we had no militia,whet a terrible
state of affairs would exist in the North-
west; the rebellion would still be going on,
anarchy would rein supreme, our Fenian
friends would no longer hesitate to COMO
QYgr i n41 warm our southern �unuuury,
V�(t$ nq military Organization, we would
Boon have all the Anarchists, Feniane, Ni-
hilists and Socialists putting into practice
their peculiar ideas of life, without let or
hindrance. As an aid to the civil power;
when you sift the civil power down to find
its great strength and power (if we take es
representative the magistrate and police-
man, they Wield a mighty power) but when
they fail, what have they to fall back on
but the militia? We had an example of
that last year, in one of the rural districts
of Quebec. When a wholetownship refused
to pay its taxes, the civil power proved un-
able to nope with the difficulty, but the
militia had hardly arrived on the scene
before the taxes commenced to come in.
I admit that these instances are happily
rare in Canada, but without a militia sys-
tem they would be much more frequent.
Why do we employ"a policoman in Clinton?
Not because murders, highway robberies
and crime of all kinds are usual occurrences
in Clinton, but remove him, and have no
representative of the law, and these very
things I mention will become frequent
occurrences. We employ a constable for
the same purpose that we maintain a mili-
tia, to guard against a possible contingency.
In your position as an editor, yon are a
public educator, still you are advocating.
views which we would only expect au an•
archist to hold, i. e. removing the only
strength the civil power has. If all editors
were like you, and all county councils like
ear present one, the militia would be in-
tensely unpopular. We asked the council
for a grant of 25 cents a day, which would
aggregate $1,200, but as we only go out
every two years, it is really a grant of $600,
which would mean a tax of one Dent per
head on the whole• population of Huron
county. I maintain that the active militia
of Canada is undeniably as fine a body of
men as can be found anywhere in the
world, and they deserve praise instead of
censure for being in existence.
"To be successful in war you must or-
ganize in peace."
I have the honor to be, respectfully yours,
H. B. 005113E, Capt, 33rd Batt.
We are quite willing to admit that as an al
to the MOH power, the militia is of unqueetion
able service but we take issue with our esteem
ed 'friend when h'e contends that it is necessar
to maintain the force on its present standing
Perh ps the NEW ERA was promatnreinsayin
that the force might be disbanded, but the ide
we had in mind was that the probabilities o
the militia being called out for active servlc
are so slight that it would be just as well t
either reduce the number or disbandon alto
gether, purely as a matter of economy. Wo be
Sieve that circumstances are such in Caned
to -day that the force could be materially re
duced, and the country would be just as seenre
And saying this does not involve any reflection
whatever on the personnel or ability of nth
force. We can remember the time when it wa
considered necessary to have "regulars" sta
tioned in every important city in the Dominion
but as time wore on they were withdrawn in
nearly every instance. Why? Because their
services wore no longer considered necessary.
Respect fpr the civil power and the danger
from external or internal troubles had so di-
minished that it was no longer deemed advis-
able or requisite that they should remain. The
same process of development has been going
on, on, and nctwithstandinthe opinion that our
friend holds (and he has a perfect right to it, as
we have to ours) wedo: bt very much the ne-
cessity of maintaining the force on its present
footing. We frankly admit then Value of the
services which Canadian volnntehrs have ren-
dered, and have always admitted this; our cor-
respondent errs ;when he states that we have
."eftherspoken of the•militia as a useless insti
tution, or held it up to ridicule," There is only
the remotest contingency of either a rebellion
among our own people, or an invasion from'a
foreign foe. - The Americans will never again
allow on -invasion such as we had in 1866; they
realize the need of stamping out among them-
selves such an uprising, and there is not the
slightest fear that a similar thing will ever
again occur. We are not hopeful that the mil-
: lenlum has, yet arrived, but we believe the peo-
ple are dairy becoming 'less warlike in their
disposition, or they have more respect for the
•civil power. Ih nearly every church in the
land,• on nearly every Sunday, @the prayer is
offered that the Lord will -"hasten tbo time
when we shall beat the spear into a pruning
hook and the sword into a ploughshare " Are
we to assume that these prayers have had no
•efedt? And if we perpetuate and cultivate a,
military spirit, are we not going directly con-
trary to the spirit of these petitions.
Beyond all this, we maintain that the civil
power is sufficiently strong to copy with the
majority, of cases that will mise. Should an
,emergency' occur, such as is cited by our eon
respondent, i7- reference to the collection of
taxes, it world be an easy proceedure to put in
operation other machinery df the eivil power
thatwould accomplish the same result, though
perhaps not in se short a time. We believe
that men who go to drill at 50o a day are un-
derpaid; their time should bo worth more, and
we thing they would be doing infinitely more
for the well-being of the world if they were
employed "in the arts of peace" instead of "In
the art's of war." Moreover when the men aro
called oat for drill only once in two years, the
exper(enoe they gain, though beneficial in some
respects, is of necessity very limited. Tho men
are supposed to enlist for three years, but we
have known whole battalions, with the excep-
tion or a Yew cancers and privates, to be new
men every year. Nearly twenty,'years ago no
lege a person than the late Major Murray (and
no one liked military life more than ho) ad-
mitted' in the writer's presence that the system
as then maintained, was altogether beyond the
requirements of a country living in peace. If
our correspondent will look at the dailies of
this week he will sec that it is proposed to dis-
bandon entirely the Seventh Battelle"), so that
Namthe Nam Ens ie evidently not alone in its
opinion—however erroneous some may imagine
that opinion to be.—Ea, Naw ERA.I
