OBEDIENCE NEEDED
(New York SUM-

The habit Of obedience is unhappily
too rare among the youth Of this
country. To this defect in their edu-
cation may be traced much Of the in
efficiency and lack Of method which
too often characterizes them in man
hood. Our American youth stand in
imperative need Of military training,
which alone may inculcate lessons of
obedience, self-control, disciplined in
itiative. and efficiency in teamwork.
Every good cause thrives by oppo-
sition. The illogical antagonism of
the so-cailed pacitists brings into
bold relief the value Of discipline and
methodical life incident to military
training. One valuable result Of their
opposition has been a renascence Of
the patriotic spirit of our youth, who
today clamor for participation In the
various training camps. Never since
the last war has this Wtalizing ele-
ments made itself 50 plainly evident
New York state and the country at
large are to be congratulated on the
prompt and wise execution of the
Slater-Welsh law. passed by our far
seeing legislators, under the guidance
of Governor Whitman. The early full
fillment by DIR. Finley of the promise

tary training would become part of q
