Filter New Playmate

On THE EVENING after Filter Fly
ing-sQuirrei met Slippy White-mouse
at the mink trap, he set out early for
the swamp. You see he hoped TO find
Slippy again and perhaps set better
acquainted with him.
MY mother says he Is the very
best member of the whole mouse
family" said Filter to himself as he
scrambled up tree; "and ! like MIN
too!e he added as he spread his tiny
wings and fioated gracefully down to
the ground.
my mother says | may play with
him all / please" he thought as he
climbed another tree trunk; so I
hope / can find him tonight; and
down he sailed again.
So, journeying up the tree trunks
and down in wide, ontward-tnrnfng
curves, Filter made his way toward
the swamp.

the trap was last night" said Filter.

as Filter was to see him, which is a
pleasant way to have things.
May you always find plenty Of

And may you always have SO
much 10 eat that you never need to
rob traps" replied Slippy.

employed IN the service Of the Unite. i
States, reserving to the states respec-
lively the appointment Of the officers
and the authority Of training the
militia according to the discipline pre-
scribed by congress-
The extent Of this federal power ov-
er the militia has never been iudicialiy
defined, but In constituting other relat-
cd powers over the militia certain
judges have remarked upon this pow
er in language which is instructive, as
follows;
In Houston versus Moore 6 Wheat,
p. 16), decided in 1920. Justice Wash
ington, speaking for the court, remark
ed by way Of diotum:
Congress has power to provide for
organizing. armins. and disciplining
them (militia); and this power being
unlimited except in the two particulars
of differing and training them ac-
cording to the discipline TO be prescrib-
ed by congress, 1t may be exercised to
any extent that may be deemed me-
oessary by congress-"
Justice Johnson, in the same case, in
a concurring opinion, stated the DOW
er in this way:
The power OF congress over the
militia is limited but by two reserva-S
lions in favor Of the states, namely, the
right Of differing and that of training
them"
According to the proceeding para
graphs of the opinion Of the supreme
court, the state has virtually no au-
thority over the militia that could not
be assumed by the federal government,
for congress has the power of disci-
plining the militia, or in other words.
make rules and regulations govern
ing the training of the militia and has
| absolute power to control the militia
as it sees fit The states have the
power to recommend only, "a no state
can keep troops in time of peace with
out the. consent of congress. (See Sec
/ ton 20, article 4, of the constitution
/ The following statements made by
regular army officers are quoted to
support the contention that the Ma
tional Guard can be brought in time
of war wholly under the jurisdiction q
the federal government:
In the chief division Of militia aft
fairs report for the year 1912, page rs,
referring to the powers of congress ov-
er the militia, General A. L. Mills, pre-
sent chief of the division of militia af-I
fairs, says 1T was with the view oil
avoiding any question as to the uni
eonstitutionality of the use Of the
militia contemplated In section of
the amended militia law that section !
of the proposed militia pay bin was
drafted. Under the provisions Of l., s
section. the organized militia can be-
4 given definite tactical organization
IN time of peace which will contin le in
time Of war. The militia organic ions
can pass without break from the SER
vice either within or without the limits
Of the United States"
In 1903 a judge advocate general o.
the army gave an opinion that con
gress had the power to pass a law au-
thorizing the president of the United
States under the direction Of congress
to use the militia within or without

ENRIGHT AND dunno PUPILS
OF TRUST PRESS GUN SCHOOL
The trust press has sounded the
mob cry for the blood of Tommy"
Enright and Sonny" Dunno. They
are said to have engaged in the gun
duel in the Durham roadhouse in
which Joe HOgerty, leVee prince,
went to his death.
Columns have been written de-
noUncing these two youngsters as
gunner, redlight gangmen, etc. The
trust press is even hurting the charge
that political influence" is respon-
sible for the ease with which the pair
and their companions slipped away
after the killing. The editors are
frothing over the fact that Sonny
Dunno was treated halfway, decent
Iy while he was in the penitentiary
a few years back.
This must seem the height of in
gratitude to EnTight and Dunno. For
in the unwritten code of the under
world it is objectionable offense to
20 back on a pal" And Enright,
Dunno and the trust press were
pals"
Tommy and Sonny were merely
two of the hundreds Of reckless kids
that the trust press Of Chicago pick
ed from streets and added to their
circulation 'wrecking crews" This
pair have received their diplomas
from the trust press school of gun
men.
Sonny who is considerably older
than Enright, got his experience as
a gunman when the Tribune and Ex-
aminer staged a war some years
back. Before he was given a gun by

Tommy Enright is still kid. The
melodramatic style in which the trust
press describes him as profession
al slugger and gunman" amuses his
friends. Tommy may be tWenty-one;
he looks eighteen. He is small and
in boxing at private bouts around
Chicago recently weighed in at lis
pounds. o.. /
Tommy should have known better
than to have hooked up with the
trust press. He should have remem-
bered the way the Chicago Tribune
treated his brother, Moss" The
Trfb used Messy in a circulation
war until he came to his senses. Then
he quit them cold. A short time later
he got into a shooting ARRAY that
ended in the death of Vincent Alt
man. The Tribune, which had been
the first to profit by his "gameness,"
led the fight that landed him in the
penitentiary. Then it fought the I'LL
timately successful efforts of organ
lied labor to get him out.
But Tommy refused to profit by
the experience Of Noisy" He join
ed the newspaper gunman school
His first work was done for the Chi
cago Herald, when it started it's early
edition in opposition to the Exam
liner. Many the victory the slight
young Enright won for the Herald
over the Examiner crew along Hal
sted street on the far South Side.
This was his first experience with
the quick-working revolver.
Now he's wanted on suspicion of
being a member Of the gang that
got Joe Hogerty of Twenty-second
street. And the Herald is among the
leaders of the mob that's out for ven
geance on its smuggling crew gradu-
