A FEW months since regret was ex-
pressed in these columns at the action
of some OF the labor organizations in
the northwest In adopting resolutions
directing all members OF those organ
izations to withdraw from the State
militia. The unexpected has happen
ed and the same thing has been done
in Norfolk and Newport News. Now
it is hoped that such feeling, in Vir'
einia at least, will soon subside and that
better judgment may prevail. In the life
of certain percentage OF men there is
q time when a military spirit prevails.
These men join soldier companies,
serve for a few years and then give way
to younger men. In these companies are

having the good Of the State and their

pleasant recollections Of their soldier
days. They are the reserved conser-

kind OF duty. Why then should they
be denied the right TO join soldier COM
panies should they wish to do SOP In
This State where the large majority OF
men have to work for livelihood the
military companies are composed
largely OF working men. They are
among the best citizens and make ex-
cellent soldiers-both on parade and 10

seems strange indeed that any reason
able man should wish to deprive them
only OF a privilege that they may accept

as above stated, it is hoped that ell bad
feeling in the two Virginia cities named
above may soon subside and that
proper judgment may again assume its
sway.
