UNIVERSAL SERVICE.

AS a result of the refusal OF numer-
GUS militiamen in Texas to be sworn
in as federal soldiers for service
within the confines Of the country,
there is renewed agitation in con-
eress for some form Of universal mill
tary training which will assure plenty
of trained men in time of need. The
universal military training is winning
adherents in great numbers, because
more and more people are coming to
see that in democratic republic, the
burden Of defending the country
should not be placed on the shoulders
of professional soldiers, nor yet trust
ed to the willingness of volunteers.
The belief that citizens owe the nation
something in addition to taxes, is gain.
ing favor.

GETTING AHEAD FINANCIALLY.

"There are two ways OF peihs
happy. we may either diminish our
wants, or augment our means-either
will do--the result is the same; ana
II Is for each man to decide for nlm-
self and do that which happens to De
the easiest" says Benjamin Franklin.
"If YOU are idle, or sick, or poor. now
ever hard 1t may be to diminish your
wants. it will be harder to augment
your means. If you are active ana
prosperous, or young, or In gooa
health. It will be easier for you TO
diminish your means than to diminish
your wants. But. If you are wise, you
will do both at the same time, youns
or old rich or poor, sick or we'll; ana
If YOU are very wise, you will 90 potn
in such way as to augment the gen.
eral happiness Of society.
The hardest thing about saving
money Ia making a beginning. we
are always going to- like the small
how hut every cent of this weeks
salary has been spent before 1t was
earned and every cent OF next week )
likewise. The following week, now
ever. if we should have any OF our sal
airy left, we will save it. 1t is more
than likely, however, that it will never
be saved .
The only way to save is to decide
upon the very highest amount ina.
can be spared from your salary anu
on each pay day, before you nave a
chance to do anything else with your
money, take out this certain sum ana
nut It away. Then make yourseif
live within the remainder. People
are paid for their labor or for what
they produce by their labor. But
time will come when they can no
longer work. This period should ne
prepared for when a person Is young
and well and has employment. Then
in old age there will be something 10

work and the rest and happiness ana
freedom from care which should pc
the Accomplishments of old age VIII
have been secured and honestly
earned.
There is another reason why peo-
ple should save money; and that IS
that it's possession will enable them
to do good to others. The satlsfac-
ton gained from being able to give
substantial aid to others when we are
called upon to do so is immeasurable;
or to lend money to some one who
needs a little capital to become sue
cessful himself The rich and gen
erous men Of this country who made
their own money and spent less than
they made, probably have got more
satisfaction out Of being able to endoW
universities, build libraries, give large
amounts to art galleries and charitable
institutions and improve the condition
OF workers than in making any other
use of their money. To be able to help
others Is worth all the effort required
of us to raise ourselves from small
beginnings and insignificant situations.

The constitution of the United
States, like the golden rule, has fall.
en- into disfavor in some quarters and
among some people because OF being
unprogressive. But the golden rule is
still basic and those people who are
too modern to be in accord with the
principles of the constitution, will yet
learn that the constitution is as up to
date as it was hundred years ago.
