FALL0A's NATIONAL GUARD
Is a Worthy Institution and VIII
Be Drawing Pay
Soon.

Fallon's Company B. of the Ma
tional Guard, is practicing drill
work very consistently and at the
same time, the members of the COM
pany are patiently awaiting the re-
ceipt OF the promised equipment
from the government ordance de-
partment in Washington. New mem
bers are being added from time To
time to the company's roaster, and
the local militia company promises
to develop into very healthy or
ganization.
The purpose of the National
Guard is too often misunderstood.
1t is not aimed as retaliatory
measure against organized labor,
but certainly every new recruit is
given to understand from the out
set that among the functions ex-
pected of him Is the suppression OF
outlawry. II labor unions indulge
their lighting proclivities in contests
with employers to the point where
anarchy prevails, they must expect
suppression from body, in whom
peace preservation is vested. Peace
loving members of labor unions Ger
tainly do not object to the martial
spirit as exemplified by militia or
ganizations and the objections from
others must be puerile.
A recently introduced bill in the
lower house of the national law max
ing body. where 1t passed almost
unanimously and is now ready for
the consideration of the senate, pro-
vi6es pay for the officers and enlist
ed men in all militia organized un-
der the provisions of the Dick bill,
and should 1t become law, indica-
tions now pointing this way, each
member of the Fallon company
would receive on an average of s1o0
annually. If the company should be
recruited up to its full strength,
something like $4,000 would be
disbursed in Fallon each year, sum
that would form very tidy payroll
and would bring an income to Fal-
lon that would otherwise be lost.
OF course, in ofaer for members OF
the National Guard to participate
in these benefits, it will be neces-
sary that certain number OF drills
be attended annually. At the same
time the government realizes that
efficiency can be secured only by
constant attendance, which in turn
can be best assured by placing the
reserve military of the country on
salary basis. 3 sl58a
With the martial spirit dead, this
country would be without strength.
The Fallon company has been made
the object of much criticism and
unjustly. It's personnel is clean and
IN pursuit of what is right and fair
In the end its fullest development
will be found to be of much value
to the best being of our community
for in addition to its basic purpose,
Il adds to the physical and social
sides of the young men who patron
ize IL. These young men should De
encouraged and the purpose OF tneir
organization, rather than pelns
frowned down upon, should De
lauded. at

Chicago, Aug. 5.-The first session
OF the first national convention of the
new party, OF which Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt IL sponsor. was held today
in the Coliseum and while the setting
was attended by all the usual eere-
mony Of national political assem-
blage. the actual proceedings were
suggestive of love feast.
Not dissenting voice was raised I'm
the session. The question Of negro
representation from the sou'h bad
caused friction earlier In the day in
the national committee. but on the
floor Of the convention there was no
echo OF this fight. The delegates were
at times explosivs In their enthusiasm.
Many state delegations came into the
hall singing and shouting In their de-
light at the birth OF the new party
and left the building three hours later
in the same happy frame Of mind.
Although green hands were sup
posed to be at the helm. the machin-
cry OF the convention worked smoothly
and efficiently. There was no roll call
of delegates. but the delegate section
OF the floor. accommodating nearly
Il 100 persons, was entirely filled. The
alternate section also had its full
quota.
Leaders Enthusiastic.
When the proceedings began the
galleries had few empty seats. The
convention leaders were enthusiastic
tonight over the showing In the Coli
scum and asserted that no better
looking more substantial set of dele
gates ever was seen on the floor of 6
national convention.
Work OF the national committee OF
contested delegate cases caused a de
lay Of nearly three quarters Of AZ
hour In the assembling of the con
yention. The delegates amused them
selves with songs and yells composed
for the occasion. while band nea

not necessary and amid renewed ac-

the stage and handed the convention

Senator Beveridge then made his
keynote speech. He spoke for more

some of the advanced ideas Of gov

paving the way for the even more pro
