New Year Nuggets

Any day is a good time to make
good resolutions, but the advent of
new year is one of the best times, be-
cause it is milepost on the road of
life.
Resolutions which cannot reason
ably be lived up to are better never
made. Failure weakens character,
causes loss of confidence and leads
the mind to feel ing of whats the
use?"
Real happiness in life cannot be
bought with gold. Many of the hum
blest people are happier and more
contented than neighbor who dwells
in a mansion.
One should try to make each day as
it comes the happiest day of ones
life. Why waste ones life away liv-
ing in anticipation of day that may
never come? Each day is like mir
ror. One side is bright and the re-
Elections seem even better than they

Universal TrainiIg 70 Revoluiionaly

(From the Philadelphia Record).
We notice that good deal of the
opposition to universal training as
sumes that it is something new and
revolutionary, and that its tendency
would necessarily be toward belliger-
ence. Both are very superficial as
humptions.
The theory of the constitution is
that all the adult males constitute the
militia, and this must necessarily be,
for every country has right to de-
mand the services of every person
able 70 bear arms, if the necessity
should arise. 1t is certainly not the
duty of one part of the people to de-
fend all the rest. The obligation is
alike on all citizens. In the early
days of the republic the theory of the
constitution was the practice, and the
whole male population was expected
to turn out on training day" EARNED
and equipped as the law directs"
This practice fell into disuse only
because military science became SO
far advanced that men with merely
nominal training were practically use
less, and the universal training, limit
ed to one or two days year, was
dropped in favor of permanent,
though small, army of professional
soldiers.
The further development of mill
tary science, including transportation,
and rapid firing and long range wea-
pons has made the small army of pro-
fessional soldiers an insufficient de-
Tense. The ocean is no such protec-
ton as it used to be. Machine gun.
have enormously increased the amount
of firing. Automobiles and railroads
have added wonderfully to the mobil-
ity of an army. To meet changed con-
ditions We have got to change our sys-
TEN again. We must either increase
our professional army till it is cap
able of coping with foreign armies,
or We must return to the early prac-
tice of universal military training,
only we must make the training
cover several weeks year instead of
day or two.
AS to militarism, We are not more
likely to be belligerent if We are all
in the army than we would be if we
could depend wholly on hiring other
people odo the fighting for US.

Station Tunnel Wanted

The Middletown Transcript of last
week says:
Our town board and our citizens
generally, wish the railroad company
while it is making its other improve
ments at the depot, would build that
much-needed tunnel under the tracks
to give passengers quicker and easier
access to, and exit from, the south
bound track.
"As it is, arriving travellers have a
wait, sometimes a long one, for the
train to pull out, and in wet weather
walk more or less in rain or snow
before reaching the pavement.
"This tunnel would allow late trav-
elers to reach the southbound train in
cases where they now often get left.
t would also give better way to
each the new freight depot.
"Middletown does not ask this tun-
Il building as a favor, but as an act
justice. To be quite frank with
company, it has not in times past
ven our town fair treatment Far
better buildings have been given towns
returning much less revenue to the
company than does Middletown, which
pays more money, for freight and pas
senger traffic than any other station
south of Wilmington.
