II by this country the most
effective scheme will
naturally be the one promising
the most thorough results at
2 minimum of trouble and ex-
pense.
Then it is plain to all who
give the subject thought that
those taking military training
should be subject to national
authority, either through ma
tional guard service or service
in federal organizations to be
provided for by congress. This
because men in such organiza-
tions will be regularly listed as
part of the nations fighting
force equipped and prepared
for service when called.
When Uncle Sam wants sol
diers he wants soldiers. He
cannot rely upon men who
have had some training but are
under no obligations to serve
and many refuse to enlist unless
they get just what they want.
Debating societies and hem
and-haw brigades are not valu-
able for military purposes.
Drill experience in high
school companies or in other
non official organizations is
worth while in itself, being
good recreation for any young

pretty much alike it would be
easy to argue that the present

since the case lacks merit any

is essential that some
real broad guage good roads
legislation be enacted at this
session. The proposal for a
large bond issue to be cared for
by increased auto licenses has
merit. It will be unjust of
course to place the full burden
on the autoist. Yet no road
plan can be devised that will
be entirely equitable. It has
never been done and never will
be done. All that can be hoped
for is to get a plan that will
work and at the same time en-
counter the minimum of criti-

The greatest mistake the leg

to fail to make adequate pro-

IF LINCOLN WERE HERE

be acting as many pro-
war advocates would like to
have the president act. Lin
coin became a war president
through necessity. not from
choice. When inaugurated he
found most of the southern
states officially withdrawn
from the union, but even that
did not drive him into war I'M
til the United States flag was
fired upon at Fort Sumpter
and American soldiers killed
IN defence of a federal garri-
son.
Lincoln was fearless in sup
port of principles in which ne
believed. Just as Wilson is, but
he was no swashbuckler. any
more than is the present exc
cutive. Were Lincoln in the
presidential chair today he
would be acting very much as
President Wilson is acting. He
would be standing firm for
American rights under inter
national law but eRdeavoring
with all his skill to keep the
country out of war.
Those who at this late day
try to picture Lincoln as a pa
triot of the hair trigger variety
do him an injustice. There
would have been no civil war
II he could have prevented it
and yet saved the union.

in a window alcove, partly drawing the
heavy curtain behind her.
That Betty Allison should arise out
of her past to block the road to safety!
Betty Allison, who would know her
at a glance, and whose curiosity was
sure to have outlived her marriage
into the British nobility. Now there
would be no escaping Betty without
giving a detailed explanation OF her
presence in London and at the wedding.
Priscilla could actually hear the rapid
fire of questions-Where are you
staying? With whom are you travel
ing7 Who brought you here?
From behind the friendly shelter of
the curtain the girl peered out, waiting
nervously for the propitious moment
At any time the Nice Man might come
back with the strawberry ices and then
it would be too late to run away.
The high American voice sounded
more and more clearly, the figures of
the woman and man appeared outside
of the wide open doors Of the morning
room. In another moment they would
have passed; but during that moment,
Lady Betty perceived a low divan
ranged against the wall directly oppo-
site the open doors and paused before
it, with a laughing word to her COM
panion, who, nothing loath, sank upon
the low seat beside her.
Lady Betty's voice had sunk to, a
murmur. 1t gave place now to the
lower, deeper murmur Of mans voice,
voice much too fervent for mere
society nothings Really, Lord Kilrose
should look after Betty. The voice
suddenly achieved nonchalant light
mesa. Some one must be coming down
the hall, Priscilla's prophetic soul
announced the Nice Man; and when she
looked out, cautiously, there he stood
in the doorway, his eyes searching
the empty room, his face an eloquent
study in disappointment.
The couple on the divan were watch
ing him idly,
Priscilla debated the situation. She
could not stay there in the alcove
indefinitely. She certainly could not
go out and meet Betty. Perhaps, if
they grasped the idea that there was a
tete-a-tete scheduled for the morning
room, a fellow-feeling or a desire for

Survival # the Fittest.

An Ex-Governor of Georgia, and
ex-officio and expert on hogs, was
invited to Judge the swine at an Indiana
county fair. He looked over the pens,
and the choice narrowed down to two
hogs, one a magnificent animal of
the Indiana corn-fed variety, Of ire
mendous weight, and the other lean
and rangy specimen, whose pedigree
must have embraced a large number of
razorbacks. The Governor, after an
appropriate judicial interval, pinned
the blue ribbon on the rangy one. A
friend nudged his elbow.
