Editorial Notes.
Editorial Notes. Volunteers are in a state of exciting revolt. The present Goveinnynt are stamping the Volunteer service out by a process of insisting upon a medical ex- amination which was not in the prospectus. Penalties of degradation and dismissal are meted out to those that refuse to submit to medical inspection. Opinions are pretty unanimous that the order is not legal, and a great rumpus is the general result. There are several reasons for the deep-rooted objection of the Volunteers to the War Office order for a special medical examination. In the first I place, they assert, and support the asser- tion by a reference to a statement, made by Mr. Arnold-Foster in the House of Commons, that compliance with the order is optional, and not compulsory. In the second place, they say that to submit a force which volunteered for home defence to an examination of fitness for foreign service is an attempt to get conscription

T by a side wind. In the third place, they f argue that such an examination was not in their original contract when they joined the force. -+-+- A general strike of the Volunteers is fully expected. Mr. Bell, M.P., said at Derby on Saturday last that Mr. Arnold- Foster was endeavouring to kill the Volunteer movement in this country. Whether he was doing it designedly or by accident remained to be seen, but one thing was certain—that the Volunteer forces were by that Minister's unstates- manlike policy being destroyed. He hardly liked to impute motives, but when that day arrived he believed they would find Mr. Arnold-Foster an advocate of conscription. Mr. Bell was pleased to see that the Volunteers were revolting against Mr. Arnold-Foster's tactics. If the Volunteers were to go in for a general strike it would be of short duration, for the general public, when they came to take sides, would support the Volunteers, and whose readiness to help their country should an emergency again arise was equally recognised. --+- Mr. Gibson Bowies writes very strongly on the sacrihce of JLord Curzon to the principle ot military control. There is no uoubt, as the writer states, that tne essential question between i-iortl \jurzuu on the one sicle, and .Lord Hitciienec, supported by the tiouke (jcovernmeiic, on che other, is oi the highest constitutional import. It is nothing less than this: Whether military authorities are to be released from civil control. That Lord iiitchener should desire they should escape it may be natural, for he is a soldier. But in affirming and defending the principle of civil control, and in pushing his defence so far as to resign the highest position a subject can hold, rather than see civil control impaired, Lord Curzon must command the respect of all who prize high principle and who reverence the essential safeguards of our Constitution. This is the principle which saturates the German and Russian Em- pires, and those who support the position which has forced Lord Curzon to resign, are helping the repudiation of the Eng- lish doctrine that, in a civil country en- gaged in civil avocations, the soldier is but an instrument for ensuring the peace- ful pursuit, of those avocations, they affect to regard any control of the soldier, otherwise than by another soldier, as a monstrosity, and would set him up as an independent power in the State, free from all effectual civil control whatever. There are, moreover, some who would entertain this monstrous claim, not seeing, appa- rently, that, it involves the destruction of the very central notion of the British Constitution, and the abandonment of those of its most important principles on which the constitutional struggles in and out of Parliament have always turned. The soldier must be kept within his traditional limits. In England he has attempted to enlarge his powers of in- dependent control, but fortunately the effort has failed, and is not likely to suc- ceed while we have a Parliament and the people speaking through it. In India, it is different. There is in Parliament a body corresponding to the Public Accounts Committee. Lord Curzon was the corresponding resistance, and for the present the futility of that resistance is the disquieting result. And, as Mr. Bowles puts it, what. makes it so serious is that the success has been due to the deliberate support afforded by the Home Government to the soldier against the civilian, to the Commander-in-Chief against the Viceroy, to the instrument against the hand destined to use it, to the inferior against the superior authority. Grave, indeed, is the situation thus created. Far more serious than any per- sonal question is the principle here in- volved. But it yet remains to be seen whether the final end will be the repudia- tion, in the, case of India, of all our con- stitutional principles; or the re-affirma- tion of that most important of them all which requires the complete subordination of the armed forces of the State to the civil Ministers, whose advice to the Sovereign decides its policy and controls its destinies .+-+- At the recent Sanitary Inspectors' Association Conference some refreshing observations were made on the relative value of Gospel sermons and hygiene. The President, Sir James Crichton- Browne, said that education in the use of the bath and elementary sanitation generally should begin at home and be continued in the schools. They could not teach young children science, but they should teach them hygiene and sanitation dogmatically as they taught them religion and morals. Swimming should be a feature of school life. He had fallen under the ban of the clergy for saying recently that clergymen would be, much better employed in teaching hygiene than in preaching silly sermons, but in travel- ling about the country he found that the silly sermon was still a painful fact. The co-operation of the clergy was greatly needed, but at present the clergy needed sanitary instruction themselves, and it would be well if classes were established to instruct them in sanitary matters. The times are changed. Instead of the clergy preaching to the people, the people are occupying the rostrum. The motto of the Sanitary Conference should be, • Cleanliness—nexit, Godliness." There is every support for the superlative im- portance of cleanliness, and if the clergy I neglect this importance by absorption in 1 the dogmatics of religion, then the Gospel in its primitive simplicity is not preached. 1 Religion is not a set of rules. It is not circumsion or uncircumcision," but 1 faith and good works. There is no doubt that in this important, matter Biblical injunctions are ignored. The preservation of health should be urged more by the clergy, many of whom ignored those-parts I of the Bible that, treated of sanitation. ( The care of the body should be placed on the same plane as the care of the soul. ] With fuller knowledge, riper experience, 1 and a growing public sympathy, we should ( secure purified homes, improved health, 1 and elevated minds. Sanitation is a religion as much as morality. ] The religious difficulty is the standing problem of the Education question. long as it lasts, the crisis will last. Bishop of St. Asaph the other day agaJD, reiterated his favourite dictum of tj|e right of every denomination to enter school for the religious instruction of Its own children. The Rev. Lewis Jaines) Narberth, as champion of the opposi^ contention, put the case very pertinehW from the Nonconformist standpoint. Is the Bishop's dictum, asks Mr. James, 11 sound principle? All, he continues, COI" sistent Nonconformists, at least, denyapd repudiate it. They hold that the State cannot prescribe and endow religion 111 church or school without injustice to ma,1| and injury to religion itself. And it cannot do it is not its duty to do what is not its duty to do no parent h11'1 a right to demand" (the Bishop's o^11 word); and what no parent has a ri#1, to demand it is no infringement of libera to deny to all. Let the cobbler stick to his last," is the moral of all this endlsS contention. The profession of the iiiiiiis, try surely involves teaching of religioll according to the special tenets they hae embraced. This denominationalism is the work of denominationalists. and not f service of the State. All the bother IS due to the attempt of one professioll shirking its work and putting it on the shoulders of another, which has quite enough to do already. Again we Say, when the cobbler sticks to his last" we shall end this tarnation religious difficuW which is to-day a curse and not a blessillg to true religion.
