he declares, "were I not to add a few
words to those who either wilfully,
through ignorance or through suplne-
ness, are neglecting to fit themselves
for the defense of their country. May
/ ask that all members Of the society
will do their utmost, not only by their
example, already set, but by arguments
to induce their friends and ac-
quaintances to learn to shoot7
f'The day should not be far distant
when it will be as much reproach to
man to say that he cannot use q
rife as it is now to taunt him with not
being able to use his fists, No man
should have voice in the legislation
of his country who is not prepared and
equipped to take part in its defense.
The man who cannot shoot is absolute
" useless in the fighting line. A man
who cannot shoot should be ashamed
