(Q Pre- Easter Sale OF Women's Suits, Coats, Dresses and Dress Skirts MILITIA PAY BILL TO INSURE NATIONAL GAURD EFFICIENCY The Universal Time Saver "The federalization ol the National Guard with pay, as proposed in the Hay bill, would make the National Guard a force of equal efficiency with the regular army, except in the more tcsu uical branches of the work, such as en gineering, supply ucpartuient, etc., ana eager to make use o'f it aud to learn from it, but I protest with all the man hood I possess against the slurs that have been 'handed to the National Guard.

"During the Spanish war the voluu i tcer troops were made up of National guardsmen. They were under a great I handicap at that time of having the ! officers appointed by political pull, and ' practically no equipment and opportun I ity for training such as we have today, and yet the world has never produced ! soldiers who performed better than did j the . volunteer army in Cuba and the Philippines. "1 sailed for the Philippines with the first expedition, General Merritt in command, and General Merritt was pre judiced against the militia. He protest ed .vigorously against the army given him because it was composed of 10,000 volunteer militia men and 5,000 reg ulars; he demanded at least 10,000 reg ulars for each 3,000 volunteers. After a few months service in the islands, he made the statement that if he again started on such an expedition he would demand more volunteers and fewer reg ulars; that the volunteers will go farth er, stand more hardships and perform more difficult or seemingly impossible feats than any regular organization, composed largely ot men attracted to the service by the pay. That was the result of experience. "Don't misunderstand me I am throwing no slurs at the army.

Conio out and see for yourself. they are anxious for as great an in crease in the army as possible for t it . sake of better opportuutiea for promo tion. ' ' The people of this country will not stand for a great standing army, an should not. If our present over enthus iasm for preparedness lends us to create a great standing army, the pendulum will, in a few years, swing the other way, and we will go back to our present helpless condition. But the country will stand for just as large a citizetti soldiery as congress is willing to create and back, and this citizen soldiery should consist not only of National guardsmen, but every high school, col lege and university in the land that e joys federal or state support should re quiro military trainiii r.s part or tl course, until we would finally have twelve or fifteen million men who havr been thoroughly trained in the art of soldiering and who are following pence ful vocations, but will, if called at any time, be prepared for instant duty, un til they reach the age limit. Such an army would be invincible, and the great requisite would be maintaining supply depots for furnishing nrms and equip ment sufficient to mobilize and equip this force on snort notice. I enn con ceive of no more perfect method of preserving perpetual peace than to adopt the principle: 'Every man a sol dier.'
