from the manufactured.
Whatever else may be said or done. the
one great need for this country Is to stand
up straight before the world. Every one
who loves the country, everyone who de-
sircs it to do well, ought to adopt the reso-
luton, now, to demand an American poll
cy, and to yield not an inch to any other.
What l. an American policy?
First and foremost. il Is the understand
ing that our first duty Is to ou: own, and
that the bowing down to foreign ideas, for.
eign influences, and foreign interests, IS
fatal mistake. We do not want TO do
injustice to other nations, but we do need
10 do justice TO ourselves. This Is the
first plank In the platform-a bedrock
resolution to firmly maintain the interest
of the United States.
From this resolution others rise. The
protection OF our manufacturing Indus
tries, the preservation OF our own markets,
the support of our ocean conmefce. the de-
veopmont of trade with countries whose
conditions make them our allies, the pro-
lection Of our seacoasts, the creation of an
adequate navy, are all measures which
spring naturally from the determination
to attend to our own affairs in earnest.
Every one Of these measures will cause

So IL the main argument against mill
tary training in the public schools is
sound our whole system of government
is unsound and the founders of the ma
ton were a lot of 'jingoes. For they
held that Il was essential 10 the Sc
curity of the nation Mey were found
ing, that its citizens should be gener-
ally trained to arms, and they so pro-
claimed. They knew that because.
from the very nature CT It's institutions,
this nation must get along without u
standing army, its people must cepeni
upon themselves foy protection against
foreign aggression or domestic enemies
Of established order. The militia sys-
tenn they inauCurated always has been
and is now an integral and vital part
of our system of government. In ease
of invasion or rebellion We must do cur
own fighting and If we don't know how
to fight 1t viii be bad for us. In any
serious emergency our only resource
would be, as it has been before, an
uprising OF the people, Il levy en-
masse.' on the last occasion Of this
sort our lack OF military training did
no great harm because the other f=l-
lows were. luckily. as badly off in this
respect as we We're, but surely no ar
gument is needed to prove that the
citizens of nation circUmstanccd as
this nation is ought. as n matter of
common prudence, To he generally
taught the rudimcnts of soldering. The
fathers OF the republic recognized the
necessity of this, the fundamento! law
Of the nation sets It forth.
"rhe proposition that the citizens
shall receive the military training in
the public schools is, therefore, based
on no new principle, foreign to our in
stitutions. It merely substitutes for an
oid-fashioned, outerown, impractical
plan for giving the citizens the tram
Ing i'm arms that citizens of free state
must have for the security of the state
a sensible and practical method for
accomplishing that end. Most boys
find military drill interesting and anus
ing. Many adult men find 1t wearI-
some and stupid bore. Boys at school
have no business in life but receiving
instruction. Grown men have their
time pretty we'll taken up with other
matters So it IS as a schOol-boy, in
his school, that the citizen of free
state can be taught the rudiments of
soldering most easily, most thoroughly,
most effectively, with least inconven-
ience to himself and to the community.
That is why the military drill ought to
be introduced into the public schools
Is the contemporary agitation for ar
bitration responsible for this move
ment to render us easy victims of war?
If so. should not the sensible friends of
arbitration take pains to emphasize
that they are not asking for peace at
the expense of prudence?

T1nitary Training In Schools.

A few days ago we received for
uidable looking pamphlet that. upon
examination, proved TO he the handi-
work OF a Boston peace league. which
solicited our cooperation in its en-
dearor to abolish military drills in the
public schools. And now President
Eliot has put himself on record to SIM
liar effect. lie considers that the
training of children in the manual OF
arms has Il tendency to make them
grow up into pcrnicious jingocs, who
travel about with chip on tlicir
shoulder and decline TO enroll them
selves IN favor or International arbitra-
ton

tanned an editorial clearly traversing
the whole ground. I'VE dO not be-

Senator Quay has through all the heated

to take any part In any personal attack
upon Mckinley or to do anything calcu-

distinguished leaders of the Republican
party. He has always borne In mind the
fact that after the convention comes the
election, and he believes that Republic
Guns should not supply the enemy with
ammunition to be used against them IN

Formal welcome to our distinguished

than OF duty. And although it has al
ready been uttered from a thousand
house tops by waving emblem and flut-
tering token, there is yet justification
for its further pronouncement In print.
1t Is a trite repetition of u fact famil-
lar to say that the men who are repre-
sented in our city today are the choice
spirits of the state, the leaders In Its
business and professional activities and
the primates in It's social life, Unlike
the Templars of eld, who at one time
made of poverty a pose, these modern
knights are men of means and stand
ing, who in their personal relations,
typify and signalize the opulence of
national resource and the generosity OF
opportunity which make Pennsylvania
famous in the sisterhood of states 1t Is
q fine compliment that they have chosen
Scranton as the site of their temporary
congregation; and that Scranton ap-
preciates the honor will be shown, We

Minister Smythe, who represents this

insurgents "are principally negroes,
brigands, revolutionists, Adventures
and others of like ilk. They are burn
ing and destroying property, and after
they commit an act of depreciation they
fly to the many places on the island in
accessible to troops. This is the reason
why the revolution was not crushed
year ago. If it were possible for Span
ish forces to meet the rebels in open
