in your paper a history of the 1st Mass.
H. Ar. II. Davis, Kingston. N. H.
The 1st Mass. II. A., one of the fight
ing regiments, was organized at Boston

by Coils. VIM. B. Greene. q

I.ieut.-Gen Chaffee dismisses the
fiamboyant talk. about aeroplanes and
autos very eurtly. He said at Los An
geles: "I guess that when war comes
you will have to take pack on your
back and hoof 1t thru the mud as we
cid" This is absolutely true. and while
automobiles and aeroplanes may fill
some part in war. it will be an exceed
ingly subordinate one. More than ever
in the history of the world the infantry
soldier with his rifle is the master of
the situation, and he can only be sue
cessfully opposed by another infantry
soldier still better trained and with
better rifle. When it comes down to
the brass tacks of war, the thing has
got to be fought out between the infan-
try on both sides. The other fellows
are a great help, but it is the dough
boys" that have the last and decided
say. Gen. Chaffee also favors compul-
sorry service and draft. He wants
sc, 900 or so, 900 men drawn by lot every
year, and after years training placed
in reserve. their places to be taken by
another draft. This would give the
country at least 100000 trained men
ready at any moment for service. He
thinks that in this way an army of
2O0,0 ,0O0 men can be maintained on what
it would cost to keep, our army of 70.-
900.

United States. OF the Governor Of MARY
land. OF one of the Judges Of the Court
Of Appeals Of Maryland and Of the
Mayor Of Baltimore. Failure to do any
one Of these things would disquahfy
him. as failure to do number of other
things would also effect his rejection.
We saw how this was worked In Mis-
sissippi under the simple provision that
a man must be able to understand and
state a portion of the Constitution of
the United States. When a man came
Iup whom the registers wanted to vote.
they asked him simply how old a man
must be to vote, which he could state at
once. When a citizen presented himself
whose vote was not desired they asked
him TO explain how the President of
the United States was elected or some
other complicated proposition in the
Constitution which even the best-fn-
formed publicist would find difficulty in
accurately explaining offhand. The ad-
vocates of this amendment are trying to
drive it thru under the tiresome old cry
of white men must rule" This is
silly. There ~ever was. there never can
be. the slightest danger of negro rule
in Maryland. A white man disables his
own manhood when he sets up such an
absurd plea. According to the census
of 1900 there were only 235,064 negros
in Maryland to 952,42 whites; that is,
the negros were about one-fourth Of
the population. Since that census the
negro population has decreased every
year by the natural movement of the
negros South, while the white popula-
ton has greatly increased and will con-
tinue to increase. White immigration is
coming into Maryland every year in
greatly increasing numbers, and the
white population must continue to
increase its ratio over the col
ored. Furthermore. the white popuia-
ton differs from that of the other
Southern States in its higher intelli-
the poor white trash" element In
Maryland than in States farther South, |
education is more general. and there is |
a much larger proportion of the mid
dle-class. The men tiiling small farms, |
business of various kinds, |
are generally carrying their sovereignty |
in their own hands. Nothing can be |
more absurd than the Shrek that this |
million of sturdy, intelligent. self-re-
liant yeomanry can in any way be domi-
mated by less than a quarter as many |
poor. ignorant blacks. The man who
sets up this clamor about "nigger su-
simply impeaches his own
and that of the race to which
ne belongs. The Intelligent, public-spir
ted people Of Maryland have grievous
of the ring rule in their own
State in the past. and they see with
alarm this last desperate
sffort of the ring to fasten its power
Ipon them. Therefore, all over the
State they are treating the ''nigger su-
,remacy" cry with deserved contempt,
md without regard to party are rising
n opposition to this iniqu;tous proposal
o deliver themselves hand and foot TO
little ring OF corrupt politicians.

The 1O.d Pa.

Editor National Tribune: Please give
short sketch of the 1929 Pa-Chas
Fl. Burk, Amberson's Valley, Pa.
The 1929 Pa. was organized princi-
pally at Pittsburg in August, 1861, and
after serving out two enlistments finally
mustered out June 2S. 1865. 1t was
,ne of the lighting regiments. and was
commanded by Coils. Thos. A. Rowley,
Joseph NJ. Kinkead, John W. Patterson
and James Patchell in succession. The
regiment spent its first Winter in Wash
ngton, and in March, 1862, went with
Mcclellan to the Peninsula, fighting
well all thru the campaign. At Malvern
Hill it made a successful charge. and
Maj. Pond was killed. The regiment
encountered its hardest battles at the
Wilderness. where its casualties were
1853 killed and wounded. Col. Patter-
son was among those killed. Lieut. Col
McIlwains lost his life at Cold Harbor.
and Maj. Coleman was killed while
leading the regiment at Cedar Creek. 1t
belonged to Getty's Division, Sixth
Corps, and lost 1S1 killed and 50 from
disease, etc.-Editor National Tribune.

being control of or voice in the Gov
| ernment. 1t rests in the knowledge o
| the majority that the rights of the
| minority and the individuals of tina
minority are exactly as sacred as tho
rights and the viii of the individuals o1
| the majority
What was most important in the
| Presidents address was to the effect
that. while organized parties are neces-
lsary in the conduct OF popular Gov
ernment, those parties are all in the
way of compromises. every man giving
up some of ms opinions and aspirations
in order to secure the success of others
he deems more important. Therefore,
men who set up themselves 10 be'hit,ter
than their parties and viii not suffer
control from the majority are to. be dis:
trusted. Il good citizen selects from
the things that he wishes to see done
tance to the country, and allies himself
with the party which has made his
views its leading principles. He yields
minor things TO help secure greater
things. This is the true theory and
practice of popular government. 1t Is
what has made popular government a
great success in America. and in Eng
land There will not be popular gov
ernment in Europe until the people
reach this stage of development. In
most of the countries of Europe where
they have adopted a Constitution and
are pretending to have popular govern
nlent there are no such things as par
ties but factions, each of which is bound
only upon securing some particular
thing or the success OF some particular
man around whom the faction gathers.
The Germans. Dutch. Danes, Swedes
and Norwegians- come nearer having
parties like our own than any either
country, because they have learned to
subordinate men TO principles and to
yield minor desires to great issues af-
fecting the country at large. The
French, Italians, -Hungarians
and Spaniards are very far yet from
realizing popular government. because
they are still in this factionaI stage,
with the representatives of the people
gathered in little groups" around some
snowy leader, who is voicing their own
particular private views and selfish in
terests.
OF course. it is infinitely worse il
Russia, where the people > siowls
emerging from serfdoi- and have no
conception of the great principles con-
trolling a Government.
The so-cailed Republics nf South
America to which the Presidcn. WAS
aliuding are in no sense popular Gov
ernments, tho some OF the.a are pro-
crossing toward that They are SIMPLY
Governments by force of organized
cliques of spoilsmen. One of these con-
gregates around bold leader, and has
physical force enough to drive out the
other fellows and seize the rc.ns of
Government. Then this clique proceeds
to grab every peso III sight by every
means possible and N the quickest tine
before the heeced and despoiled ones
can gather around another leader, and
turn them out to recoup themsell es tor
their own losses by skinning everyone
in the country. We see light in this d.
rection, however, as the people Of Span
ish America are beginning to slowly
learn the principles Of self government.

The war talk now shifts to prophecies
of collision next year between Russia
and Japan. The japanese want to force
the Russians back farther from the
Pacific Coast. and likewise collect a
large indemnity. We repeat our former
insistence that Japan is too poor to
want war with anybody for many
years-not until she has reduced her
debt and Japanized Manchuria and Ko-
rea. Japan cannot stand another yen

Housewives will have to pay a much
higher price for brooms this year. and
doubtless the stump speakers will try
TO attribute it to the Aldrich bill. The
real cause is that the drouth cut the
