handled in mastery way by Mes
DANES Addie Moore and Eva Dockery,

well presented by Mesdames Stofel
and Jennie r. Nichols. Those who act
cd as judges were .Mesdames Simmons,
: Young and Compton, whose verdict ia =
vored the negative side. as did most
every mother present. Two men were
present. but declined to give their

studied and each one based on well

mothers when she said. Kindness is
the greatest of virtues; aad if mothers
will teach their boys kindness. love
peace and obedience. they will not
need a military training when the time
comes to defeni the flag. Military
training does not teach obedience tc
but one thing. and that is the gun, and
all military training teaches hatred
just as we are hated today by the for
eign nations"
