tary training, an efficient army ade-
ouate to our needs. Military service
should no more be optional in de-
mocracy than should the payment OF
taxes. One should be accepted as an

The proposed Continental Army IS a
sham. 1t would be merely an ineflclent
rival of the National Guard. For
year or so, during the period of novelty
it might attract some men. But we
cannot expect men to sacrifice their
business interests and put themselves
at a disadvantage compared ID their
less patriotic business rivals as per-
manent thing. They ought not to Go
it; and it is an outrage 10 ask them
to do it. Military training should be
required as a matter of right and not
asked as a matter of favor of all our

citizens both in war and in peace.
