named
For long it has been without ruler
in keeping with its noble title, but all
that is about to cease.
Senator Stivers has seen the omission
and has been most active in setting up
an autocracy along military lines.
He has been ably supported by Slater
and Welsh, gentlemen who must have es-
capped from Germany in the time of Bis
marck
New York is now to have an emperor
with complete military power, and the
only difference between its ruler and that
Of foreign nations is that it may be
changed at the next election.
Back of this emperor, known by the
name of governor, is the power behind
the throne, which, in this case, is the
National Guard.
An amendment to the state law relat-
ing to the militia has just been passed
and reads thus:
THE GOVERNOR MAY AT ANY
TIME CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS OR A
DRAFT BE MADE OF SUCH AS MAY
BE REQUIRED TO MAKE UP OR COM.
PLETE THE COMPLEMENT OF OR
q CARNATIONS OF THE NATIONAL
GUARD OR NAVAL MILITIA OR ANY
PART THEREOF, LOCATED THERE.

For years the National Guard official:
have been straining every nerve to fill
up their depleted ranks in the crack regi-
ments of New York city.
All sorts of inducements were offered,
but without avail.
The militarists then entered the high
schools, without authority. and induced
few principals and students to join rife
clubs and drilling squads.
< Next they opened recruiting stations
on public squares.
They got up preparedness parade and
that didn't work.
Few recruits were Forthcoming.
The European war and the expedition
into Mexico have failed to arouse the war
spirit in American youths to any great
extent
This was too much for the military
party of New York.
1t besieged the legislature and man
aged TO have five laws passed, the bloody
five" saying, in effect:
IF MEN AND BOYS WILL NOT
VOLUNTEER FOR THE MILITIA, WE
WILL RESORT TO CONSCR1PTION.''
New York state has done what Eng
land did not dare to do until after two
years of war.
According to these laws the governor
of New York has power in times Of peace
as well as invasion to draft into the Ma.
tional Guard of the state every male citi.
zen between the ages of 18 and As whom
