Meetings were held recruiting books were
opened and the East Side already rejoiced in
a regiment of its own. with armory, parades.
entertainments and field duty, when the scheme
was abandoned for the reason that there was
at the time no room for an additional regiment
in the Guard and because the promoters of the
plan had been convinced that at no time should
there be a place for a military organization in
which membership depended on mans relig-
ious belief
The Tribune at that time pointed TO the fact
that even the national organizations had be-
come unpopular and had gradually disappeared
from the service, leaving the Goth as the sole
survivor of a group Of military bodies which
carried another flag along with that or our
country. There are some men still IN the ser
vice who can remember when there werc
French Scotch. Irish. German and American
regiments in the state service. and when the
Badischer Jagerbund and Die Uniformirte
SchweitZer ScharfschttZen and many similar
bodies with equally euphoniOus names paraded
on holidays for picnics and target shoots" and
on the birthdays Of the officers and the pOpu-
lar members. Fight and fun usually went to-
gether, and harmony was at high premium.
1t would be impossible to estimate how much
worse the situation would have been If instead
Of nationalities various military bodies had rep
resented religious beliefs
The establishment Of such an organization
as seems to be contemplated in Connecticut
would be the first step In that direction. With
a Jewish company, why not Presbyterian bat
TALON, Roman Catholic regiment or a brigade
Of some other denomination? The privilege ex-
tended to one could not with justice be denied
TO another, and the character Of the National
Guard might quickly be changed beyond rec
Ogntion There is little danger. however, for
the authorities will doubtless discourage tho
movement, and the young men will apply for
admission to the Guard, not as Jews, but rs
American citizens

SHANHAN
Prominent OId-Time
Resident Died Yes
terday.

Patrick Shanahan, aged Y years,
the father of Mayor Edward Shana-
han, died at O'Clock yesterday after
noon on his farm west Of the
city after an illness Of more than six
teen months, following a stroke OF
paralysis. His family were with him

a devout member.
Mr.. Shanahan came to Vinita about
thirty years ago, previous to which
he had lived in several Of the western
states after coming TO America from
his birthplace in Ireland. In all
those years he has been considered a
model citizen by all who knew him,
--quck and impulsiye in all his acts,
never hesitating to speak his MIND,
but warm-hearted and generous to a
fault fIe was d man Of marked IN
dlyiduality and Of countless friends.

TO Chautauqua Season Ticket
Subscribers.

1t seems that there are a few sub
scribers TO season tickets who have
misunderstood the terms upon which
the tickets were sold. The tickets
are not TRANSFERABLE. Ifany
have purchased tickets with the un-
derstanding that the tickets we're
transferable it is only fair to them
that they be released from all respon-
sibility in the matter
However, if one stops to think he
will see thao to meet Mr.. Bartells
requirement Of 500 adult season tick
cts guaranteed before he would place
the ChautauQua in Vinita tickets
could not be made transferable. Other
wise not 200 tickets could possibly
have been sold. Having made these
terms the management has from the
beginning and will continue to the
last to insist upon them.
