THE BANNER BATTALION
Major Smiths Boys Marched
Like Veternes in a Swelter-
ing Atmosphere-Ladies
Encouraged Them.

The first battalion of the Fourth Regi-
ment. composed of Companies IA B, c
and D.. held a battalion drill at the Ar
mory last evening in preparation for the
Memorial Day parade. The drill attract
ed a large crowd and the galleries were
we'll filled. Among the spectators were
many ladies, who lavishly bestowed ap-
plause upon the gallant guardsmen as
they executed the various movements
with the precision that has earned first
honors for Major Smiths battalion. The
companies turned out unusually stroIg,
and not one of the commissioned officers
was missing. Sergeant Major Gaddts
made his first appearance as Sergegat
Major. and he acquitted himself With
credit. His predecessor, Fred Eye, also
made his first appearance as Second
Lieutenant of Company B. The COM
panies took their positions in regular
order, with Company A on the right OF
line n D, B and C behind as named,
in accordance with the seniority of the
commandments.
PRINCIPALS WATCH THE DRILL.
Among the spectators in the galleries
were Principals George H. Linsley of No.

P. S. Hulshizer of No. "a School, +. c..
Reinhardt of No. 20 School, and C. A.
Hoyt of No. 8 School, who were guests
of Major Brensinger. The Major is deep
ly interested in the plan to introduce
military training in the public schools,
and it was for the purpose of gaining a
knowledge of military tactics that the
school principals attended. Consequently
they were the most interested spectators
present. The National Guardsmen found
the drill shed anything but comfortable
The warm sun of yesterday shining on
the glass lanterns in the roof raised the
atmosphere to a high temperature, and

New York,. Ignorant Legislature.

The reform" Legislature of New York
absolutely the worst types of legislation.
The one is the monstrous enactment
which makes Imprisonment for drunken
ness mandatory and cumulative. No
more detestable outrage was ever per-
petrated under the name of law; no
scheme was ever devised so productive
of Generalization and %depravity. 1t
should be called A Act for the total
ruin OF unfortunate men and women and
to foster and develop the criminal class.
The other obnoxious measure is that
which makes it a felony to marry a girl
below the age of eighteen. This is a
law which rejects all the teachings of
history and negatives all the social study
of ages. 1t is oppressive and useless at
It's best and positively vicious in its worst
aspects.
One trouble about all the cranky
schemes that are being imposed upon the
world just now for its compulsory bet
terment is that there will be a terrible
reaction against them in a few years.
The pendulum will swing the other way,
and our period Of dollhouse virtue will
be succeeded by just such a. era of
laxity as the Restoration presented in
England coming after the Puritan Pro-
te~ctorate. or as the morals of Vienna
present today in their rebound from the
seventies of Maria Theresa and Joseph
II.
If our cranks would only read history
instead of evolving arbitrary theories
from their inner consciousnesees, the
world would be spared a great deal Of
trouble.
