COLORADO'S PATRIOTISM AROUSED

OF late Colorado has not kept pace
with other states In developing the
state militia and this condition should
not be permitted to continue. Hap.
PLY the end Is now In sight. The
campaign to reorganize the guard is
proceeding admirably. The response
to appeals to join the militia has been
general In all communities where eff
forts have been made to organize
new companies. Those eligible for
service realize that patriotic duty
rests upon them to devote part OF
their time preparing themselves for
possible service for their country.
When the national guard is enlisted
to its fall requirements 1t is certain
that Colorado will'5e able to maintain
an organization that will. in time be
the equal of any in the country for
efficiency. Colorado does not intend
to trail behind others in displaying
its loyalty to the national govern
ment.
