pREpAREnNEss VS.. MILITARIsM

OUR friend, Harry Tuner, former
Inv If the Ledger noE Of Montgomery
City. No. Ben8s Us a memorandum
showing that the Senior Editor Of the
Ledger some time ago took a position
ourosed 70 nilitsrism and opposed a
big standing army That IS exactly
correct That is the position we have
always taken That is the position
we take today, but that does not mean
that we are not in favor Of prepared
ness
We might Be opposed TO carrying q
pistol or keeping arms around the
bouse. but # burglars and bandits
were invading our town or threatl
we're coming from another city that
We we're going to be called on to fight
| Tor our home, We would most assured
Ily Be IN favor Of preparedness We
are oprosed to militzrism and the mil
ftary spirit, and al it implies, but
ze are most certainly in favor Of not
oulv reasonable but fully adequate
greuzrednesg agzins any danger that
thrextens from within or without
This includes any country, whether It
be adjoining Us on the south or on
ne north or across the eean-
II there is anything Inconsistent in
our position in this matter, why just
ct Il go that way. vs. do not claim
TO be unusually consistent, but most
certainly feel that if we eye were
consistent and right on a proposition
we are right On the one that our
friend Turner, refers TO. We don't
want the military to control this coun-
Try; we don't want everybody TO be-
long to the army; but we do want TO
be adequately prepared.
Harry went back TO our files Of
Thursday, July IA, 1898, in a letter
which we wrote from Southampton,
Long Island, 70 snow that at shat
time we were opposed to ~militarism,
and that today we are in favor Of
preparedness" That's correct and
we have not changed our mind but
conditions have changed.

While they are extending the olive
branch thusly II is distinctly noted
that the branch il being offered at

Jennings Bryan will attend the Demo.
cratic national convention, not as .
delegate, but as a reporter for the
st. Louis Post Dispatch.
In a statement made public here
today he said he would not act az
alternate from Nebraska, despite hi
election, nor would he accept offers tc
go as delegate or proxy from any
other state.

VISITING IN OLD MEXICO

Keith Vawter. manager Of the Red
p~ath-VaWter Chautauqua System is
in receipt Of a letter written from
Mexico City, Mexico, under the date
Of May zth, by Hon. Chas F. Scott,
one Of the speakers engaged to deliv-
er an address at our Chautauqua.
Mr.. Scott advises Mr.. yawter that
he left home April Gath and stopped
three days in San Antonio, where he
spent much time with Generals Scott
and Funston, both of whom he has
known for many years. He then pro-
eeeded to Mexico City via Eagle Pass
and Piedras Negras.
Mr.. Scott further states that he has
made acquaintance rapidly, and has
already gathered a lot of informa-
ton which has never been published
in this country. He says he will GER
tainly have something to show for his
trip when he gets back.
Scott is in Mexico on a tour Of in
yestigation preparing for his summer
work Of telling audiences on the Red
path-Vawter Circuit, ''The Truth
About Mexico"
Mexico weekly ledger., 1916-05-25

DO not imagine that you can do
foolish things and not pay the price.
So many people when they have done
something they knew they should not
have done, laughingly say, 'Well !
got by" Along this line the Arm
strong, Mo-, Herald says: 81 have
jumped on trains running faster than
that one a hundred time or more in
my life, and never had any trouble"
is the %purported remark of the un-
fortunate young man that lost his life
by hopping a fast freight train at
Clifton Hill last Friday morning. And
50 it is with many folks. They do
things that they ought not to do and
get by with them many times, but
the day Of reckoning always comes,
and when it comes there is trouble"

with care and watch your speed. This
is tie fist tine The second time

next dry you VIII have a short visit,
enbelished with legal perquisites, at
the city hall with Judge Williams as
host
Roy Wright has been secured By
Mayor J.F. Harrison as special motor
cycle officer in an effort TO halt the
open disregard Of local ordinances
for the driving Of motor ar and to
supply the ounce Of prevention which
is far better than the pound Of cure
in the form Of serious accident or
death that follow in the wake Of reck-
less driving.
Mr.. Wright was on duty Wednes-
day night. He rides a high powered
Harley-Davidson motorcycle and
there isn't a car in the city that can
escape him when it ONE to a chase
in the city limits. Mr.. Wright is
warning all motorists guilty Of break
ing the law. But on second offense
they will be taken into custody and
dealt with according to the law in the
ease.
One motor car driver, Wednesday
night, melted by a desire to pass
every machine he met, eluded Mr..
Wright several time. Finally the Of
feer put out the lights on his motor
cycle and caught him and
while he was enjoying a speed of at
least forty-five miles an hour on one
of the paved streets.
Mayor Harrison believes Mr..
Wright will eliminate the dangerous
practice Of many who carelessly over
look the necessary precautions as well
as wilfully disregard the laws for
motor driving. Mr.. Wright's efforts
should do away with much of the dan
ger that heretofore has been immin-
ent because of this manner Of motor
ing as well as see to the discontinue
! ance of some of the unnecessary fea-
lures Of automobiling that are a de-
cided nuisance. One arrest has al
ready been made for having the muf-
fler open.

since Mayor Harrison showed very
clearly that the law was to be enforc-
ed. There are still two or three very

they do not reform. You know the
laws Of any community are enforced
to just that extent to which people

that the people Of this community are
