Effort for Military Nation.

Further Justice Breuer declared:
while l have an abiding faith that the
tendency of American thought and pur-
pose will ere long be revised, no one can
be blind to the fact that there is a persist
ent effort to make out Of this great mill
tary nation. From the foot ball field to
the ironclad, from the athlete to the adj
miral. the thought and the talk is fight.
The cry is fight fair, but fight.
1.-The Capital city has different as
pect from what it had a few years ago.
Brass buttons and epaulets are filling the
eyes. Our newspapers are eulogizing the
magnifcence of our fleet and army and
the thought of the nation is largely In
direction of military and naval advance.
Science Is giving its attention to the dis
covery and manufacture Of more effective
instruments Of death, and we are rapidly
drifting into an admiration for the pride,
pomp and circumstance of glorious war.
among those nations calling for a limita-
ton Of armament. Now instead of lead
Ing in that direction we are constantly in
creasing our armament and point with
pride to the fact that our naval fighting
strength SurpaSSeS that or every nation
excepting Great Britain.
The speaker then told chow this has
been brought about"
United States Will Not Fail.
that, notwithstanding all present oppo-
sition. the United States will not fail She
will heed the summons to the lofty mis-
sion Of peace"
The speaker went on to say that the
great mass Of the American people are
toilers and their votes determine the pol
icy Of the government, for 1t Is govern
ment of and by the people. The toilers
see that war means the waste and de-
struction of property. They also realize
full we'll that the cost of armies and Of
war is enormous. that that cost Is made
good by taxes, and they are beginning to
appreciate more and more the fact that
they pay the bulk Of the taxes. Nowhere
is the toiler such an intelligent force, so
fully understanding the curse and the cost
Of war, and his opposition will grow more
and more emphatic until every lawgiver
hears and heeds.
Justice Brewer paid tribute to woman
saying she cannot be sneered or laughed
out Of her faith. and he who looks for
public recognition In this country will do
we'll to take note of this fact.
Concluding, the speaker said: with
the eye of faith see unrolled this glorious
picture OH the canvas OF the future in
which shall be seen every laborer dwell
ing beneath his own vine and fig .ree
receiving ever a living wage for his toll !:
every merchant and manufacturer pursu-
ing his business and his industry without

government, stating that the Canadian
exhibit, which Mr.. Fuller has been try
ing so hard TO get, will be at the COM

Women expect to improve the con-

are sold, as there are said to be lists
which can be obtained that will tell
what merchants comply with the laws
in regard to pure food. While women
will not use the word boycott, their Nac-

state of affairs, in the way of ignoring
merchants who do not come up to the
standard

Meth0diStS SIX
Baptists Four.

The Methodist baseball team defeat
ed the French Baptist in an intensely
interesting game played on the Colby
field Friday evening by the score of 8
to t. The game was late in starting and
but six innings We're played. 1t was
intended to play but five innings, but
at the close of that inning the score
was tied.
The game started with the Methodist
team at bat and in their inning Perry
was very wild and allowed three walks
These coupled with hits and errors,
netted three runs. In the third inning
the French Baptist team jumped into
the lead, getting four runs by timely
hitting and several errors made by
their opponents. The Methodists evened
things up in their half of the fifth.
The Baptists came very near winning
out In their half of the fifth inning. r.
PoolCr hit safe but was thrown out at
second when r. LaF'leur hit to Wins
low. LaFleur stole second and third
and tried to make HON on poor throw
but Simpson picked up the ball and by
an excellent throw caught the runner
at the plate. saving the run. The next
batter struck out.
The Mcthodists came in strong in
the sixth Three hits and two passed
balls netted two runs. These the Bap-
fists were unable to overcome and their
side went out in order.
The game was a good one to watch,
although twas quite dark when the
Baptist came to bat in their last half
But the teams are evenly matched and
other games will follow. Perry had a
little the better of lockwood in the
box, striking out 10 men in the six in
nillgs to four for lockwood. The score:
