Is Il Not Our Plain Duty2

In It's effort to recruit up to the
standard for service in the present
Mexican emergency Iarrison'S Nat
ional Guards Company has been
handicapped this week 10y an unex-
pectcd lack of spirit which may al
most be termed lack Of patriotism.
Young men have crept behind one
excuse or other, and older men have
counseIed in way which proves that
they have a weak conception of the
responsibilities of American citizen
ship.
Every able bodied citizen who en-
JOYS the protection and privileges of
the country owes his services to SuS-
tam the government when assailed,
and We have no patience with the eX-
preston America can whip the
world coming from a man who is
unwilling to do his share of the fight
Ing
In the present emergency We would
feel ashamed of Arkansas if it failed
to respond with the full quota of
troops asked of it; and we will feel
more ashamed of Harrison il she is
unable to furnish sixty-fytmen pat
riotic enough to respond to the call
of their country.
Eighteen years ago, when Harrison
was a village less than half the sizt
she is now, she raised a company Of
llO men in - hours for service in the

young men less patriotic or less cour-
ageous than they were them We
hope not.

Three National CONVENTIONS.
Personal of Clio Ha per, Times Correspondent
Who Saw Them All.

The writer attended the national
conventions of the Republicans and
ProgreSSives in Chicago and the Dem
ocrats in st. Louis One may become
national convention fan, just as one
becomes a baseball fan or near-beer
fan, | also attended the Republican
convention at Chicago in 1912, when
the great split occurred which helped
to land the school master governor of
New Jersey in the presidential chair.
All that is lacking to round out the
record is the Baltimore convention of
1912, where the most important chap
ter of this great national history was
written.
The proceedings, the platforms, the
speeches, all the things which appear
on the surface, and many which APP
peared below the surface, are matters
of history. There were something
less than IA thousand historians pres
ent at each of the conventions, and
speaking of the shortage of white pa
per, several young forests were en-
hausted for wood pulp whenever an
extra issue of one of the great Chicago

ing, invariabl y one cent each. News
papers are the cheapest comodity
there, and people buy them to sit on
and watch the procession 90 by, or to
protect their hats from the rain But
that by the by.
In this article the writer does not
presume to write history, but observa-
tionS and impressions. Seeking for Il
dominant feature of the three national
assemblies Of country-Savers, the
thing that looms biggest is their noise.
RiotOuS demonstration is the measure
of individual enthusiasm in partisan
achievements, the only true standard
of personal political proweSs: At
least, that is the inevitable conclusion
that one must reach from critical
comparison of the three conventions.
Again, riot and noise are divisihle
into classes. There was the frantic,
uncrrbed, ebulliet, tempestuos acclaim
by which the Bull Moose followers
voiced the one idea of their conyen-
ton, for they knew no one, thought
of no one, fought for no one, but the
man from Oyster Bay, and 1--WE Want
