formerly known as the militia the Ma
tional Guard of today is entirely diff
ferent from the militia OF former days,
In his history OF the organization
General Martin said: THE militia
proved of uncertain value during the
Revolutionary war. The militia sys-
tenn continued until the period Of the
old militia law in 1892 and 1t re-
manned in force. with few amend
ments, untiloT903.
Under this system the militia was
an utter failure. IT was bad enough
in the early history I the colonies
but 1t became worse and worse as the
population increased. The individuals
proper arms and on one occasion a
regiment appeared for muster armed
with cornstalks.
THE militia system was largely
used in the war of 1912 but was un-
reliable. No attempt was made to
use it in the Mexican war, and very
little use was made of 1t in the Civil
war.
I'm this state prior to the admission
of the state into the Union, the mill
tia consisted Of volunteer companies
orga nized in communities OF the ter
ritory for protection against Indians
and bands of outlaws.
when the territory became state
the organization of the militia was
divided into two divisions, the north
and south division with the Kansas
river as the dividing line.
There were five regiments in the
northern district and six in the south
ern. These regiments were paper or
CARNATIONS only. In 1865 the state
was divided into four brigade districts.
The organization at this time consist
ed of twenty-four regiments and four

On First Call $4,000.
1.-THE National Guard made up al
most the entire first call of $4,000
men for the Spanish-American war.
1t did not, however, enter the service
as militia but as volunteers. Under
this volunteer act each man had to
enlist and there was considerable de-
lay in transferring the regiments from
the state to the national service.
THE experience of the Spanish
American war made 1t apparent that
if the National Guard was to be an
ice 1t must be organized and equipped
the same as the regular army.
This was done by an action of con-
gress on January 81, 1908.
Topeka's Battery.
THE battery stationed in Topeka
has the latest equipment of field ar
tillery, in fact a later model than some
Of the regular batteries. The mini
mum strength of the National Guard
of Kansas is about 1000. The value
Of the equipment issued to the battery
is about one-half million dollars; to
each company of infantry about
$1,000.
1.-The National Guard is now as
much a recognized part of the military
resources of the national government
as is the regular or standing army.
Il have been told by officials OF
the war department that the National
Guard of Kansas is second to none in
it's efficiency and preparedness for
field service"
In his address General Martin told
Of the other many Improvements OF
the present organization over the old
militia organization.
A large number of the members OF
the club were present at the meeting
Monday evening. Prior to Genera
Martins address the usual feed was

French Outstrip Germans in
Contest for Vantage Point.
Through Tickets and Up
Rocky Hillside.

Thanh. Alsace, Jan. 5.-A race Of the
three miles up the steep slope at Engel-
burg, through thickets and up rocky
steps. between a battalion of French
light infantry with mountain guns and
German battery determined the result
of the stubborn fight for the .Alsatian
town of Steinbach.
The French surprised a movement Of
the German battery ascending toward
the summit of the mountain by road
and taking a short cut accomplished
what seemed to be the impossible. The
French battalion arrived five minutes
before the Germans appeared in an
open space and had just time to put
into position their mountain guns. Five
minutes more and all was over. TOO
late the Germans attempted to retire
and the battery was annihilated.
Possession Of this point permitted

inforce the troops operating around
Steinbach. -
On the morning Of Dec. 81 the
French occupied all the heights
around the town and sent an envoy to
the surrender of the place, the Ger
man officer replied:
The German commander in chief

wise cut off. The route to Cernay

MRS. LEES ARGUMENT.

We wish the men of the county who
have the privilege of voting next
Tuesday as to whether or not the
coufty shall have good roads, made
by Wholesale 'v means of bond is
sue, could get the viewpoint of Mrs.
Rebecca r. Lee. when she pleads for
the bond issue as a woman, and as a
woman suggests a means for paying
for the bond issue. She shows how
very easy IL would be to pay the nec-
essary extra tax by allotting that
privilege to the old fieh On the place.
An egg q day for year would be 80
dozen, which at 20 cents a dozen
would pay the extra tax for farmer
who returns for taxation property to
the value of s2,000s And this is a
high valuation for the property own
ers of the county.
: Another good point by Mrs Lee. is
that when the renter, firing of for
ever paying rent and never owning
his home, buys some land on credit,
and while enjoying it pays for 1t. even
though 1t takes series of years. This
is Just what the man who wants good
roads now, viii be doing. He will be
enjoying them while paying for them.
This is good business too, for there
are many farmers who own their
own homes, who, If they had had TO
wait till they got together all the
money for buying their land and
building their homes, would never
have known the pleasure of owning a
home OF their own. Many q county
afraid to vote the necessary money TO
build good road, VIII never hive the
pleasure Of owning a good road TO en-
Joy driving or hauling over.
This Is. cIie time we. wish we had
woman's saflrage. Tor Mrs Ice says
the women are the greatest suffer-
ers from poor roads. They not only
are the physicai sufferers tat they
are also mental aiffefers by being
shut up md having thusst lead lone
iy ana unsocial lives. II the women
could vote. swe feel sure they would
put the old dominick hens In Ander-
son County To work paying the taxes
on the bond Issue. and they would
have gond roads to haul the eggs to
town TO Sell

ONLY TWO MORE DAYS. :

Only two more days remain after
this is read. before the fate of the
road bond issue will be IN the hands
of the voters. We are told that 1t
will be killed. ana niaybe' It will. The
people have the right to kill il or TO
make II alive. 1t would be Il miracle
il it were TO carry. with the indiTer-
ent attitude OF its friends. and the
activity Of it's enemies. Nothing has
been done TO create or mould senti-
ment favorable to the bond issue by
It's friends and little surprise should
be felt. therefore. if it is defeated by
big majority. The Intelligencer
would like TO see II carry, and we be-
iieve it will be a big mistake to kill
IT, and that TO do SO will be To set
back the good roads work in the
county at least q decade.
Eat we are not so sure that the
bond issue is going to be killed. We
have heard OF many sections where
the good roads sentiment is strong.
and where there are more persons
favoring than are opposed TO the
measure. Likewise we have heard of
sections where the sentiment is as
strong against it. Those who are TO
vote for the measure are not doing as
much talking as are those who will
oppose 1t. and 1t is thus hard to find
out the-real sentiment OF the people
Indifference will be the greatest
drawback, and many persons who are
interested in good roads will stay
away from the polls and will not
vote. The Intelligencer would urge
all voters to turn out and st a
vote. either for or against the pro-
posed bond Issue. Otherwise you
will not count in shaping the policy
OF the county.
South Carolina is watching the re-
suit of the election Tuesday, and It
will speak volumes when the news is
flashed over the State that Anderson
County has carried or killed the bond
issue.
