WHY THE DICK LAW
 IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Reasons by Those Who Doubt Presi- dent Can Call on Militia.

-
 The Dick law, the constitutional of which is now being tested before the United States Supreme court, was formulated by a4convention of the ad- Jutant generals Of the militia of the various states at a meeting in Wash fngton in 1903. It sought to correct the many bad features of the nom uniformity of national guard estab- lishments in the various states, which had developed at the time of the Spanish war. Among other things. it included a section by virtue of which the President was empowered to order the national guard of any state or fer ritory into service, and to send them regardless of whether that place was States or not By this 1t was thought able force of trained men who need not first volunteer and then be mus tered into federal service
 This plan, admirable in it's Ideas is held to be unconstitutional It had not been questioned audibly during the ten years that the Dick law has soeen at work. but, on the eve of trou~ ole with Mexico, when 1t is thought shat the guard will be needed for ser Ice, the question is raised

Poor Mail Service.

The paucity of the mail service by trains is notorious in Newtown, there being no mail south leaving either Newtown or Sandy Hook from 6:1O p. m. of one day till 10 a. n on the next day. At the end of each week this is worse on account of the inter vening Sunday. This causes no end of annoyance to business men who are compelled frequently to take train at z a. n1.s to do work which could be done by letter if the early train took even closed pouches This matter should be taken up by the mems club at once with the incoming post master in the Center. and if pushed strongly ought to have weight, with the postal authorities. The scondi- ton is intolerable, and a huge peti- ton for redress would be forthcom- ing, if the aforesaid organization will take the initiative.
