The Citizen, Soldier.

The respect accorded the returning
militia last Saturday night speaks well
for the greater appreciation Of the i'm
portance of the National Guard. Not so
very long ago the militia boys were
sneeringly alluded to as ''the tin SOL
diers" and were considered a joke as a
national defense. Now, due in part to
the present spectacle Of all Europe drawn
into sudden conflict and realization
that we may need a defense suddenly,
the public is inclined to take different
view towards the citizen soldier. We
appreciate the fact that he must spend
time drilling that he might well prefer
to spend in some other way and that in
time of need he will be in a position to
respond quickly and intelligently to a
call to arms.
We don't want a big standing army
any more than we want war. We don't
want too great respect for the mere
uniform any more than we want to
take million of our young men away
from productive labor to spend all their
time in learning war. What we do want
is sufficient respect for the militia to
make it creditable organization in time
of need. It to the citizen soldier that we
pin our faith.

YOUNG MAN DROWNED AT LAKE
EMILY.

A tragedy occurred at Lake Emily
last Saturday when Martin johnson of
Kaosta was drowned while in bathing
with chum, Henry Davis. The un-
fortunate lad, who has just recently
graduated from the Kasota High school,
got in beyond his depth and before
Davis could reach him he sank. The
fact that he went down and failed to
rise again would seem to indicate that
heart failure was the cause of the tragedy.
Help was summoned at once and arti-
fetal respiration was resorted to in an
endeavor to save the young mans life
but even this failed.
Johnson was one of the most popular
of the Kasota young people and was a
great leader in school activities and in
the Kasota Band.

A Fine Suggestion.
next year.

The Springfield Free Press has kindly
offered a suggestion whereby New Ulm
auto speeders might work off their
surplus energy in military maneuvers.
Here it is:
"All that New Ulm lacks in the
military line is troop of cavalry. We
expect, after the armory is completed,
that some of our military strategists will
commence recruiting an organization of
this kind Brown County Journal.
Since the automobile is supplanting
the horse, why not company of auto
mobilery? What fine chance to turn
the 8:45 club to some useful and patriotic
purpose. Whom will you have for
captain?"
AS to choice of captains, we have a
wide range. We can get them from
almost any walk of life and representing
any profession. We might have some
competitive tryouts along one of our
quiet sidestreets with Chief Klause to
hold the stop watch. Let the one who
can negotiate the street in record time
wear the shoulder straps.

THE FARMERS FRIENDS.

The farmer speaks in heated terms
of woes that dog his feet; for fifty million
bugs and worms will spoil his corn and
wheat. And when he's tired Of using
words which faint the passing breeze, he
gets his gun and shoots some birds, which
lived in yonder trees. The farmer keeps
score of cats, and gives them milk and
curds, supposing they'll fill up on rats
but they are after birds. The birds are
death to worms and bugs which desolate
the crops, and yet they re killed with cats
and drugs, and guns it never stops. The
farmer Stays his fairest friend, the bird in
wet elm tree, then says, ''Alas there is,
no end to pests that ruin me!' His
righteous heart within him aches, the
gophers are so thick, so he pursues a
dozen snakes, and kills them with a brick.
Yet snakes devour the noisome pest that
brings the farmer loss; they swallow mice
with eager zest, nor ask imported sauce.
The husbandman, the man of woes, would
have less cause to groan, if he would only
kill his foes, and leave his friends alone.
