STATE GUARD AS
STANDING ARMY
Dick Military Law Becomes
Effective on January 2l
Next
DELAWARE MILITIA
CONFORMS WITH ACT

on January q next tho militia OF the
several States win become truly tho ma
tlonal Guard" IN all that the title implies.
On that day the famous Dick bill, framed
by Senator, who is also General, Dick, OF
Ohio. and approved by Elihu Root, Sec
retary OF War in 1906 will go into effect.
This bill was originally passed IN 1905 and
was intended TO become operative at once.
Il was readily seen. however, that the
States could not change their systems so
soon. and that much time would be con-
sumed IN the reorganization. Then Il was
decided that the bin should 90 into soer-
alton IN 1905. but when the fvc years had
expired some states were not ready, not
ably Pennsylvania. So two years more
time was given. Delaware. however, reor-
ganized It's military forces under the new
act more than year ago.
According 10 the new law every able
bodied citizen between the ages OF IS and
IS is subject to National Guard duty. The
term National Guard" is TO be retained
In connection with the commands Of the
States. Tho important feature OF the new
law Is that the infantry is 20 be organized
tho same as the infantry In the regular
army: that is. each regiment Is TO COM
tain three battalions and the minimum
membership OF a company Is 20 be 50
men, and the maximum VIII he fNed by
tho President probably at 100 men. The
organization, armament aud equipment OF
all branches OF the militia VIII be -hc Same
as that OF tho regular army.
Tho paramount idea Is chat In case Of
an emergency like tho war with Spain tho
President can call upon the States FOR
troops and there can be placed in the field
al once and not IN 90 days, fully equip
ped force. an exact counterpart Of the
regular army.
Benefits Of New Plan.
General Dick pointed out that under tho
new law there would be camps Of in
struction. the same as at present and
camps OF manoeuvre as at present The
only idea is that the regulars and militia
men would be brought closer together for
the benefit OF both. He called attention TO
the fact that the national guardsman has
done better in shooting than tho regulars
and that they, on the whole, tako greater
interest in the art Of war. Tho General
favors pay for the soldiers FOR at least q
/ drills IN cach year. independent OF any
service IN camp, which Is also TO be paid
for. Any militiaman injured OF disabled
while in the service OF the United states
shall receive the benefit OF all pension

his family Is entitled 10 a pension. No cap
tain OF the militia shall be over 40 year.
Of age and no lieutenant over s5 and sec
ond lieutenant over 30. II Is intended e
officer the commands 50 FAR as possible
with young men who are ready Tor activ

the Adiutant Generals win report to IN
War Department the exact conditions q

BE A MAN
VI. c. Robbins.

What makes a man; is II the style
He carries on the street?
Is il the great politeness
lie shows TO all he meets?
Is Il the texture Of his clothes
or the jewels that he wears
or the pedigree Of which he boasts.
Or the character he bears?
ff you would be a man you must
BE honest brave and true;
Must ask Gods blessing on your life
on everything you do.
Don't act to cause the blush OF shame
To mount upon your check
Don't boast along the way of pride,
But humble be and meek.
Extend 20 all friendly hand.
To friend as we'll as foe
Throw out a smile. kindly one,
No matter where YOU 60.
BE sure 10 feed the hungry,
And clothc the naked, too;
Like bread upon the waters cast.
IL win come back to YOU
A mans the noblest work of God,
Made in His image sure;
Then glorlfy Him for that gift.
And let your life De pure.
Make sacrifices as you step
Along life's rugged way.
'Tis sacrifice alone that brings
The sunshine in each day.
II YOU intend TO be a man
You must temptation shun;
Must have the courage Go say No,
'Tis then the victor1s won.
Be sure 20 always look aloft--
DO an the good YOU can.
You'll find that you've not worked IN
vain.
For you will be a man.

There is a fascination about a brand

the first to make tracks and cut through
the delicious substance And It is a delect-
able story, though with less delicate hand

has been able 10 give It it might easily
have become clumsy and impossible. The

RcmOdeIed Playhouse Opens
the Season to Standing
Room

Tho theatrical season was opened in this
city last night when the now Grand Opera
House threw open its doors to the public.
And the way they responded, crowding
up to the box office until every available
space was jammed, went to show the
great hold that vaudeville has taken upon
the American people
The management is to be commended
upon the manner in which they have car
ried through the alterations and tho eX-
carnations of pleasure that arose from
the play-goers when they took in the new
~ decorated house showed their apprccia-
ton.
The color scheme has been artisticaly
carried out in green gold and white the
whole forming a harmonious and pleasing
effect. Even the ushers in their new red
uniforms helped to make pretty picture.
The only criticism that one might make is
that the very charming curtain is some
what marred by the yellow poster in the
centre, telling you to chew Somebody s
Tutti-Frutu" Perhaps some day, man
ayers will refrain from plasterng a hid
eous advertisement on an otherwise pleas
ing curtain.
The bin offered was a good one and
considering the enormous crowd that had
TO be handled, and the usual drawbacks
of a first night presentation, everything
went off smoothly
The Grand Opera House Orchestra start
