MILITARY TRAINING

" HE COMMITTEE Military Affairs has reported to the Senate bill to train youth for national defense The principle that the citizen to his country the duty in its defense is of the oldest in American history
 is in the foundation of most of the state governments which Connecticut may be taken type The citizen der subject to call from the time he is eighteen until passed his forty fifth year The governor chief of these soldiers who anytime may be soldiers in fact.
 The Federal government organized the idea with the president chief Thus the power set above the military power and the citizen himself situted as the potentianal national army.
 While the truth that the states and the nation rest ultra military theory of democratic army has escaped aen ton, 1t is nevertheless true
 Every able bodied in the United States, who has declared his intention to become citizen member of the unorganzed military of the United States and subject call upon the proclamation of the president
 pending the Senate adds little to military ligation of the citizen except the duty to be trained.
 The bleboded citizen of proper age potentially dier is subject to call and must respond if he statute proposal merely to train to nteigeny perform the duty which America has mmemorially upon their shoulders.

LINCOLN'S COMPASSION.

The birthday of Abraham Lincoln will be observed today as legal hol- iday in many of the states of the Union which it was his mission to preserve Lincoln was a man Of many virtues, and these will be ex- alted today, but not the least of these were his compassion and his deter mination The bitter hatred of most of the Northerners for the men of the South was not shared by Lincoln, and yet no man was more determined than he to fight the war out to it's decisive conclusion. In these days of war fare the concluding paragraph of Lincoln's second inaugural address Is well worth repeating:
 with malice towards none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive ont to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nations wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and. for his widow and his orphans; to do all which achieve and cherish just and a lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations"
 Peculiarly appropriate to the pres ent period in the worlds history, too,. is LincoIn's famous letter to a: stricken mother:
 ''I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the djutant-General of Massachu- setts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously, on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelm- ing But I cannot refrain from. ten dering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the republic they died to save. I pray that the Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and lave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom"
