VAN 8uREN'S MILITIA REVIVED.

President Wilson's plan for an army
reserve Of 400 900 men who shall be
subject to periodical duty three years
and then pass into q second reserve OF
disciplined citizens whose places shall
be taken by other first reservists is
nothing new.
During President Van Buren's time
the secretary Of war of the Van Buren,
administration submitted to congress
a similar plan which was even more Of
an effort at preparedness considering
the population Of that day to be IT,
100000 as compared to 100, 100000 to-
DIZZY. It became one of the big issues
of the fall campaign Of 1910 and was
assailed vigorously by the Harrison
voters.
Van Buren's plan was for a reserve
force Of 100000 men at time when the
population Of the United States ~as
one-sixtfl what il is today. Every able
bodied free white male citizen was TO
be enrolled in the mass of militia and
must provide himself with a musket,
powder horn powder, balls and hints.
From the mass was to be enrolled an
active force of 100000 either by draft
or voluntary service which should be
kept subject to the presidents call for
drill and camp duty for four years and
then each year one fourth should pass
into the inactive or "sedentary" re-
after which they would return to the
mass OF militia again.
Thus We have an exact similarity
of plan Van Buren, would have had a
first reserve of 100000 drilling at the
will of the president not to exceed
twice each year and then. after four
years Of such service they would be
held subject to emergency call for four
years more because OF their training
Wilson would enlist $4,000 in the fed =
eral reserve militia each year for three
years the 400, 900 being subject to drill
and camp duty not to exceed two
, months In the year and then, after
| three years Of this periodical service
would pass into the second reserve
subject to emergency call for three
years more. Van Buren, with one-sixth
the people planned for one-fourth the
military reserve force on exactly the
plan which has now been proposed by
Wilson but the log cabin campaign
! with an old Indian fighter like General
Harrison as candidate was sufficien,
! to bury the federal militia plan and we
| have had since a militia controlled by
states instead.

Good Friends most OF you know that
We have had delightful December
weather since this paper called at your
home last Thursday. I, was nearly all

clouds OF gold and of crimson got be-
tween the sun ana You This ID the
Sth Of December. 1915. The sun shines
for us In all his glory. The clear wa
tiers Of the Cedar still ripple and roll
and hurry over the $4,000 cement dam
in Waverly. and when viewed from the
Bremen avenue bridge they make a Pic
ture as pretty as the laughing waters
Of the Falls OF Minnehaha. And when
you look south from that bridge you
see the same restless river rush away
to the sea. with vision ca rest on its
bosom. There Is Joy and beauty at
large almost everywhere. for those who
know joy and beauty when they see
them. And sanitary drinking fountains
are still bubbling pure water from
waverly's well. which Is 100 feet
deep, and the same is true OF the foun-
tains for the horses. And so II you
overlooked Thanksgiving two weeks
ago you may still find reasons for cul-
tiyating a thankful disposition with
out leaving home. Christmas is almost
here and you Will need that thankful
disposition.

CROSS STATE RACING.

Cross state automobile racing should

The highway idea in Iowa is not a
