MiIitariSIn.

Militarism does not consist in the existence of any army, not even in the existence of very great army. Mili- tarism is a spirit. It is a point of view. It is a system. It is a purpose. The purpose of militarism is to use armies for aggression. The spirit of militarism is the opposite of the civil ian spirit, the citizen spirit. In a country where militarism prevails the military man looks down upon the cl- vilian, regards him as inferior, thinks of him as intended for his, the mili- tary mans support and use and just as long as America is America that spirit and point of view is impossible with us. There is as yet in this country, so far as I can discover, no taint of the spirit of militarism.-West Point Speech, June IS, 1916.

FIELD MARSHAL
 ST. MICHAEL,

Tonight will be Michaelmas Eve ushering in the observance of the festival of St. Michael and all the Holy Angels. In Great Britain Michaelmas has long been a festival of importance, and many Englishmer cling to the old custom of having a special dinner, with q goose as the feature thereof. .-
 It is among the Italians that St Michael is most highly honored, and the sons of sunny Italy on this side of the Atlantic often celebrate St MichaePs Eve by holding parades and setting off fireworks. On Sept 29th, the festival day, special ser vices are held in the churches. The Italians often pray to St. Michael for the healing of their ills, or some other favor, which they repay by gift on the festival day of the Saint.
 For centuries St. Michael has been honored as the leader of the angelic hosts-a sort of field marshal of the winged armies of the King of Hosts This belief is supported by Scripture In which Michael is mentioned as al ways appearing in a warlike char acter. He is thrice mentioned by Daniel as fighting for the Jewish church against the Persians. St Jude mentions him as fighting the devil about the body of Moses. St John pictures him as the captain ot the angelic hosts in the battle with the dragon and his hosts.
 Early in the history of Christian lty the tradition sprang up that St Michael was the commander of the loyal angels in the heavenly insur- rection which resulted in a victory for the loyalists and the defeat of Lucifer and his rebels, who were con- signed to the pit of perdition. This tradition has been embalmed in sub- lime poetry by Milton.
 In former times the belief was generally held that angels had the power to intervene in the affairs of mankind, and in consequence the celebration in honor of St. Michael and his angelic host was much more common than 1t is now. It is safe to predict, however, that a multitude of European soldiers will tomorrow invoke the aid of St. Michael, cap tain of Gods hosts,''' and 'the admir- able general"

An UnendurabIe System.

It goes without saying, though appa- rently it is necessary to say to some excited persons, that one thing this country never will endure is system that can be called militarism. But militarism consists in this: It consists in preparing a great machine whose only use is for war, and giving it no use to which to apply itself.-At New York, January 27, 1916.

A Beautiful Hanger.

Perhaps the most unique of recent
complimentary tokens to the trade is
the beautiful colored hanger being
sent out to the motorcycle list by The
B. F. Goodrich GO. of Akron, Ohio.
1t is nameless painting by the late
Mr.. A. B. Frost, one of the last works
of that famous artist. In fact the
work was left unfinished by the mas
ter but was later taken up and fin
ished by his son.. Mr.. John Frost
The picture has no title but it is
easy to read the story. The town
constable has evidently hailed the
dapper feminine motorcyclist fol-
speeding. But the maiden's appeal
ing look of injured innocence has
gotten the old constable foul and the
wheels of justice seem in dire dan
ger of clogging. The painting is
handsomely reproduced by the Aler-
lean Lithograph company in beauti-
full, soft and well-blended colors
The hanger bears no printed adver-
tisement, although the motorcycles
is using Goodrich Tires and Good
rich sign appears on the village store
in the background. 1t is an embel-
lishment to any dealers Office.

discussion, agreed that hereafter
there should be no obstacle standing
against the pensions Of persons kill
ed in the military service Of the Uni
ted States, no matter from what sec
tion they may come, or whether their
forefathers were in the Confederate
service or not. Heretofore, under
existing law, if man went into the
federal service and was killed his
father could not receive his pension it
the father was loyal to the Confederacy.
This today was eliminated and the
result is that hereafter no matter
what part a man took in supporting
the Confederacy, it will not bar him
from receiving the pension of his son
should the latter be killed in the fed
eral service.
Mr.. Ragsdale is much gratifed at
the action of the house and especially
at this time when there is little con-
sidered in a military way but Mexico
and it's results.
"In other words" Mr.. Ragsdale
said, "a man was not entitled to re-
ceive pension from the government
if his people were in the Confederate
service; this. has now been changed
and this obstacle will no longer
exist. 1t is a big step toward wiping
out sectional lines and making US
one united country"

MR.. H. H. BLEASE CONFERS
WITH ADJUTANT GENERAL

Mr.. II. H. Blease who issued a CALI
for a meeting of those who were in
terested in raising military COM
pany to meet at his Office and: who
had liberal response to his call
made a visit to the adjutant gen.
eral on Monday to talk over the sit
uation. He found that an Anderson
company had taken the place made
vacant in the first regiment by the
disbandment Of company and there
was no place in the first regiment for
full company. And no opportun-
ity to go out as unit with the first
regiment. There is opportunity
to enlist individually with several
of the companies Of the first regi-
ment that are short the necessary
complement Of men.
Mr.. Blease said that he learned
that as the two regiments go to the
border there would probably be an
other regiment formed and then the
Newberry company could go as unit.
lat the meeting that he called for
Tuesday evening at the court house
there were about $50 men present and
Mr.. Blease explained the situation to
them and some tweLty men signed
that evening for the purpose of or
ganizing a Newberry company. These
men do not care to go unless they
can go as a unit and in the same
company. Mr.. Blease explained that
no man can be mustered in until he
passes the required medical examina-
tion and takes the prescribed oath.
And no officer until he passes the
physical examination and also an ex-
animation in the modern tactics.
1t would be well to have COM
pany organized at Newberry even if
it were not taken into the service just
at this time.

PREPARING CAMP
FOR GUARDSMEN
Surprising RumOrs Die With Nothing
More Than Other RumOrS to
Feed On.

El Paso, Texas, June 26.-Hurried
preparations for the reception of
thousands of National Guardsmen
were under way in Ell Paso tonight.
Military authorities believed that ap-
proximately 10000 guardsmen will
arrive here before the end of the
week, and with the 5000 regular
troops now stationed here, will make
Ell Paso the largest military concen-
tration camp in the United States.
With the entire National Guard Of
Massachusetts, New Jersey and Con-
necticut, approximating 10000 men,
under orders to entrain for Ell Paso,
Gen. Bell said that he was preparing
for the housing and rationing of 25,-
900 men, so he would be ready to
care for any additional troops sent
him.
1t is planned that about 5000 of
the State troops will be stationed at
Fort Bliss, while camp sites were laid
within the corporate limits of the city
for the remaining 5000. Gen. Bell
said that water mains have been laid,
sewer connections made and the
ground leveled, leaving nothing for
the guardsmen to do upon their ar
rival but to set up their canvas.
Arrangements have been made for
the drilling Of recruits by non-com-
missioned officers of the regular
army.
Military authorities today compiled
lists of motor cars and motor trucks
in Ell Paso available for army use in
emergencies and arrangements were
made with four local hospitals to
care for overflow patients from the
base hospital at Fort Bliss.
The cities on the border were calm
tonight. Excitement caused by
rumors that American and Mexican
troops had again clashed between
Carrizal and Villa AhumaSa was al
layed when American and Mexican
military authorities denied the re-
port.
Discussion on both sides of the riv-
er centred upon President Wilson's
demands upon Carranza. Mexican
officials and Mexicans of the better
educated classes said they did not
believe there would be any objection
to surrendering the prisoners at Car
rizal. This concession, they said,
ought to satisfy American pride, but
they expressed fear it would not. In
the Mexican view the Carrizal fight
is simply an object lesson as to the
danger of letting the American
troops come into contact with the
MeXicans.
