"rhere are some things in which So

its interests take precedence OF the in

One Of these things is the supply of

group Of men by any process should
be suffered to cut the society Off from
the means Of sustaining life.
TThese men were dealing with one

real thing to settle was what rights

this probIem BY what means are we
going to oblige persons who come to
controversy like this to admit the pub
lie into partnership by which the
thing is discussed and decided? That
Is not an easy problem. A great many
different methods have been proposed
and one Of the reasons why congress
thought it necessary to postpone the
question for a few months was that
there were so many honest differences
OF opinion not as to the object, but as
to the method.
"The very difficult question the
American people is now face to face

for the planned expedition in Mexico
by way of Juarez, and detailed ac-

At the same time it became known

Expects Hearty Response.
Mr. Comstock said that he had no
doubt that in case call for volun-
teers was made, the young men of
this town, which has been so much
accused of having no patriotism, would
rally to the flag the same as they did
in 81 and '98.
In the meantime, the training will
continue All are invited to attend
the practice without having to sign
up any papers which obligate them.
Only a fair sized group attended
the practice last night, but the cap
tain accounts for this as being due
to the shortness of the notice and to
the inconvenient hour at which the
drill was held.
The next practice will be held at
Glen Miller park, Sunday morning at
9 o'clock. This will be followed by a
drill at o'clock Wednesday evening
in the old Rumley building where the
automobile show was held.
