visitors on the grounds. He brought

whenever they get as far away as Par.

ell mass OF manhood and feminine
loveliness at the palatial Parma depot,
whence they were swiftly conveyed to

patriotic zeal II needs not merely
a throb Of feeling, but sense OF per-
sonal duty to the land in which we
live. and for which we should be
ready to sacrifice We have SO long
enjoyed the atmosphere of peace that
we can not discern the sense OF dam
ger. A recent cartoonist caught the
idea when he sketched three OF our
prominent and worthy patriots, with
their hands over their ears, mouth
and eyes, like the three monkeys,
and, amid the bursting of bombs and
the roar of conflict exclaiming,
Hear no danger. speak no danger,
see no danger
MANY Of us are awakening to a
sense Of danger that we thought had
passed from the possibilities OF
earth-the evil of nearly universal
slaughter, the deviltry OF frightfu-
ness, the "reminiscences of military
despotism.
ave do not know how soon loyalty
to the flag may mean to us mucn
more than the turning OF \ nappy
phrase. or the voicing OF huzzas.
1--WE are SO devoted to the arts OF
peace. so in love with the past Sc.
clusion Of our happy land, that we
have counted our relation to govern
ment a soft and pretty sentiment
We have even resented the mad re
uuirements of federal law as some In
!. fringement of our personal freedom,
or with some sense OF bitterness
have made our settlements with the
tax collector. Paternalism has seem
ed to us specter OF ugliness. we
have resented any sense of owner
ship on the part OF Uncle Sam to our
private lives, or our property. THOSE
lands where paternalfsm is most In
evidence, where the state Is first
and individualism is almost swallow
ed up, are giving us today some
friRhtful examples of warlike effic
iency. They are saying to US: Pat
riotism is not the passion OF old age
it Is not a thing of dress parade, OF
silken banners, and of lively airs. II
is a young mans call to duty-there
fore, be We also ready.
Military Training in Schools.
Though we fondly hope that love
for the flag will continue to be tc
our youth merely a tender and beau
tiful sentiment, yet, it may, in the
wisdom Of those VINO rule. mean thai
in all of our common schools there
shall be military drills. Heretofore
we have had no need for the Swiss
| system, which has protected our sis
| ter republic, though in close contact
| with frightful war on every SIDE. Ins
