MILITARY SERVICE IN OHIO
Law Required Service of Citizens Be-
tween 16 and SO Years.

Columbus, O.-With the talk about
preparedness, and Ford taking a ship
load of Americans to Europe, it is in
teresting to know that Ohio once had
law demanding military service of
all male inhabitants between the ages
of 16 and 80 years, says a Springfield
attorney.
"At time when our country was
much less able to cope with foreign
aggression, we were able to have the
then comparatively small population
fairly well drilled in military tactics
so far as land forces were concerned,
without requiring a large expenditure
upon the part of the national govern
ment. A law enacted by the first
law-making body in Ohio was for regu-
lating and establishing the militia, and
was passed in Marietta on July 25,
1888. BY the requirements of this act,
all male inhabitants between the ages
of Is and SO were required to perform
military duty
Later, after Ohio was organized as
state, the law required the assessors
to include in their annual reports a
list of all able bodied men residents
between the ages of 18 and 45, living
within their respective jurisdictions,
and at stated times they were required
to muster and drill"

MILITIA AND THE W0RKMEN
Would Pass Up All Labor Troubles to
State Constabulary.

Cincinnati, Owe must establish
state constabulary, similar to that
of Pennsylvania, which is to handle
all labor troubles, if the Ohio Ma
tional Guard is to be relieved of the
antagonism of organized labor" said
former Colonel Charles Hake, of the
First Regiment, at the closing session
of the o. N. G. State Association Con-
vention.
'The labor unions are opposed to
the National Guard on this ground, !"
he continued, and not until it is re-
lieved of this disagreeable strike
breaking duty will the many desirable
men from organized labor enter the
ranks of the militia. Only in the case
of dire necessity should the guard be
called out. The trouble has been that
moral cowardice on the part of may
ors and sheriffs has deferred them
from coping with situations which
they would be able to handle" The
Colonel advocated the establishment
of a barracks at Newark, the geo.
graphical and railroad center of the
state and the quartering of properly
equipped constabulary there.
