The Rechabite Boy Lancers.

An organization of boys in the parade
today which attracted much attention and
received hearty applause along the line OF
march was the Boy Lancers of the Junior
Rechabi about 100 strong. The lads
wore neat and soldierly uniform of navy
blue, with brass buttons and military caps,
buff leggins, and carried the TRADITIONAL
spears of the ancient tribe of Rechabltes
mentioned in the thirty-fifth chapter or
jeremiah The lancers were commanded
by Capt Edward NJ. Heines. a soldier OF
long standing, and their drilling and March
ing were highly commended. The smallest
boy in the troop of lancers was Noble
Mitchell, not yet ten years old, who, as hrst
sergeant. marched at the head of the lads.
The Boy Lancers of the Junior Recha-
bites were organized about one year ago IN
this city Capt. e. NJ. Heines being the
leading spirit in their formation. Temper
ance is their cardinal principle, and they
are encouraged and sustained by the In
dependent Order of Rechabites, of which
John c. Moore is high chief ruler and Mr.
Wayne W. Cordell is high secretary. The
boys hold weekly meetings. at Rechab bite
Temple, and are instructed in morality and
total abstinence. 1t is proposed to form

Mission Should Be of Peace.

Our mission in the world should be one
of peace. but not the peace Of cravens, the
peace granted contemptuously to those who
purchase 1t by surrendering the right. No!
Our voice must be effective for peace be-
cause 1t is raised for righteousness first and
for peace only as the handmaiden OF right
eousness. We must be scrupulous in re-
specting the rights of the weak, and no less
careful to make 1t evident that we do not
act through fear OF the strong. We must
be scrrpulous in doing justice to others and
scrupulous in exacting justice for ourselves.
We must beware equally OF that sinister
and cynical teaching which would persuade
us to disregard ethical standards in inter-
national relations, and of the no less hurt
full folly which would stop the whole work
OF civilization by weil-meant but silly
persistency in trying to apply to peoples un-
fitted for them those theories OF government
and of national action which are only suited
for the most advanced races.
In particular we must remember that in
undertaking to build the Panama canal we
have necessarily undertaken to police the
seas at either end of it; and this means
that we have a peculiar interest In the
preservation Of order In the coasts and
Islands of the Caribbean. / firmly believe
that by little wise and generous aid we
can help even the most backward OF the
peoples in these coasts and islands forward
along the path of orderly liberty so that
they can stand alone. If we decline to give
them such help the result will be bad both
for them and for US: and will In the end II

The problems that face us abroad are i'm
portant, but the problems that face US at
home are even more important. The ex-
traordtnary growth of industriahsm during
the last half century brings every civilized
people face to face with the gravest social
and economic questions. This is an age of
combination among capitalists and combi-
nation among workers. It Is idle to
try to prevent such combinations.
Our efforts should be to see that they
work for the good and not for the harm Of
the body polite. New devices Of law are
necessary from time to time in order to
meet the changed and changing conditions.
But, after all. we will do well to remember
that although the problems to be solved
change from generation to generation. the
spirit In which their solution must be at
tempted remains forever the same.
1t Is in peace as dt Is In war Tactics

fought under Washington and Greene and

training from those who In blue or gray
faced one another in the armies Of Grant
and OF Lee. OF Sherman and of Johnston.

confederate veterans who serve in our gall

Governments Basic idea.


Governments Basic Idea
This government was formed with, as
Its basic idea. the principle of treating
each man on his worth as a man. of pay
ing no heed to whether he was rich or
poor, no heed to his creed or his social
standing, but only to the way in which
he performed his duty to himself, to his
neighbor. to the state. From this prin-
ciple We cannot afford to vary by so much
as hands breadth. Many republics have
risen In the past, and some of them -four
fshed long, but sooner or later they fell;
and the cause most potent in bringing
about their fall was in almost all cases
the fact that they grew to be govern
ments in the interest of class instead of
governments in the interest of all.
1t made no difference as to which class
1t was that thus wrested to its own adj
vantage the governmental machinery. 1t
was ultimately as fatal to the cause of
freedom whether 1t was the rich who
oppressed the poor or the poor who plum
dered the rich. The crime of brutal dis
regard of the rights of others is as much
a crime when 1t pnanifests itself In the
shape of greed and brutal arrogance on
the one side as when it manifests itself
In the shape of envy and lawless violence
on the other.
Our aim must be to deal justice to each
man; no more and no less. This purpose
must find its expression and support not
merely In our collective action through
tho agencies Of the government. but in
our social attitude.
Rich man and poor man must alike feel

Common Heritage of Memories.

And now, my fellow citizens, my fellow
Americans, exactly as all of US. whether we
live in the east or the west, in the north or
the south. have the right merely as Ameri-
cans to feel pride in every great deed done
by any American in the past, and exactly
as we are knit together by this common
heritage of memories, so we are knit to-
gether by the bond of our common duties
in the present our common interests in the
future. Many and great problems lie before
US. If we treat the mighty memories OF the
past merely as excuses for sitting lazily
down in the present. or for standing aside
from the rough work of the world, then
of a blessing. But II we treat them as
believe we shall treat them, not as excuses
for inactton. but as incentives to make us
show that we are worthy of our fathers and
of our fathers fathers, then in truth the
deeds of the past will not have been vast
ed. for they shall bring forth fruit hum

this nation, we the citizens of this mighty
