THE CONSCRIPT AND THE VOLUNTEER.

The selective draft of men for service in the war is not a
CONSUMPTION in the sense that that term acquired in the war be-
tween the States. when il was the last resort of both the Federal
and Confederate States governments TO force towards and
Slackers 10 the front. but it is the method devised by Congress
TO assemble an army of the httest men for the fight as speedily
as possible and TO place every man upon the same plane in the
requirement. OF a universal service in a common cause. 1t is the
only effective way OF raising an adequate army promptly and it
is democratic. To be thus conscripted is no more a reproach
than being drawn for jury duty; and the selection will be made
from the available body OF citizens in the same way that juries
are drawn. Moreover. by this means. the whole country is re-
Quired to DO its fair share OF the fighting; each States quota is
fixed according to population. and the burden of the national
defense is thus equally distributed as il should be.
But should any one feel that he would prefer going with
out compulsion. the way is wide open to voluntary enlistment
before CONSUMPTION begins. as five hundred more men are need
ed TO bring the First Mississippi regiment up to full war strength
and several artillery units in process of formation in various
parts OF the State. as yet, by no means full. But whether You
put on your countrys uniform as a volunteer or otherwise. you
are enlsting in an honorable and patriotic service. because your
country is at war and needs you.-The Issue. May Il.

The German people have been taught to subordinate. the
thoughts and the life of the individual to the will of the Kaiser
They have been made to believe that there was a direct Inc
from Heaven into the brain and will of the Kaiser. hence Tor
them not to willingly bow in submission to the Kaiser would be
almost an offense to the Deity.
Somewhere in the early nineties the Kaiser said IN making
a speech to a regiment of troops:
Il would rather see my ffty-hve million Prus-
slams dead on the field of battle than to see one foot
of the soil taken in 1870 given back to France
Now. if that does not show love of glory. the gratihcatlonl
of his own vanity and pride far above the thought and care OF
the lives of the German people it does not show anything
AT a later date in addressing another body of troops he SAID
"Now, that you have donned my uniform it must
be your pleasure and your duty to follow my wishes,
realizing that rule Germany by the direct will OF
God, and you must willingly obey my commands, even
though require you to shoot down your own fathers
and brothers in response to my dictates"
Note that this war lord says "ny uniform" your duty to
follow my wishes" and that Il rule "by the direct will OF
God" Can there be any surprise in the mind of any reasoning
person that such an autocrat. such a dictator as he should have
been fool-hardy enough to undertake the sublugatlon OF the
world in order that my wishes might be gratihed?
The German people are in some sense to be pltled. they
have been taught war from the cradle up. and if there is any
spirit in any of them that prompts love of the world and a due
regard for the rights of others. they dare not exercise it because
of the fear of death at the hands of the Kaiser. Brute force is
what they pin their faith to.

We are prone to think Of the brightness of tomorrow and to
look for the richest and best things of life not at our own doors
or in our own community but in some other community. Dis
lance hath ever had its charms. One OF the principal reasons
for this characteristic, is, that We see so much Of ourselves in
those we get to know best that we are conscious Of their I'M
PROJECTIONS. their frailtieS. Our neighbors are mirrors in which
we see much Of our own daily life and walk reflected. There
fore, il is. that we have allowed the pearls and rubies al our
feet 10 be seen and gathered by some one else. This should
not be 50. We can best use ourselves when the best in us most
StrenuouSly asserts itself. And We can not be in harmony with
God and the benign things Of creation when we are not en-
deavoring Il think charitbaly Of our neighbor, our friends and
our companions. There is much good in the worst OF US and
some bad in all Of Us.
Only the other day il came to our knowledge that one Of
tie busy men Of our community had turned aside from business
that pressed itself upon him 10 dc a real. loving and thoughtful
service for an old lady who is without influence or prestige. and
the only reward that could come of rendering the service per-
formed was that reward that is ever given for duty we'll done.
There is Joy in such things that is sweeter than honey and that
gives one a look into the beattudes that can be attained in no
other way. UnSelhsh service is that service that pleases Him
who 6ispenses all that is good, benehcent. grand. pure and
holy in this life and that makes sure OF an abode in that beauti
ful city whose streets are paved with gold and whose names are
marked with the blood that trickled from Calvarys brow.
The thoughduness and Samaritan act performed by the
gentleman referred 10. is no uncommon thing in Grenada
There are many Of them and we wish it were so sometimes that

A REUNION THAT SHOULD HAVE F~AR-REACHINC
RESULTS.

Outside of the satisfaction and qualification afforded the
country at seeing its oldest and most venerable citizenship come
together in connradeship and love, there is a further satisfaction
to be gained at the Reunion of the Veterans of the Lost Cause
now in session at the Capital of the Nation. in the lessons it has
for the German Kaiser: The boys in gray are now guests of
the very city they tried TO capture Sc years ago. They have
as their hosts many Of the boys they were then pitted against
in battle array. The past is gone and a vast majority of all
the land now recognize the fact that it was best that the war ter
minated as it did and that we are welded together as an indis-
soluble people of indissoluble states. We are brothers and sis
tiers Of one great big family of states.
We repeat that Germany should see. if it has the ability
to see anything or read anything outside of its own domain or
bSeides the selfish ambition of its own ruler. that the people
of the United States are one in purpose and that whatever ur
pleasantness there may have been in the past. will not stand
in the way of the people standing together as one man to thwart
the designing and the intrigue of the basest ruler known to
what we are pleased to call the advanced civilization of the
twentieth century.

these things could be gathered together and an ocular demon
stration given of the sweet things of heaven that are fltering
through the lives and acts of men and women all over the land.
Why, if we could tell the beautiful story of the life of an m
fortunate girl of just a few years ago who refused to hear the
protestations of love of a worthy man until she barred her histor.
to him and how his manly heart wept with her as he said, 'Tll
take you in spite of it, and how they are now living joyously
and happily in a distant state-these things in our opinion re-
fleet the glory of God and show that thousands of men and
women are trying to please their Maker and carry out His aims
and purposes.
We do not say it boastfully, but Grenada has a good citi-
zenship. Would that it were possible to always see the real
designs and honest purposes of the human heart. There is so
much misunderstanding in life. But it will not do to faint or
fater. We should strive all the more to promote and en-
courage that which is good and to suppress that which tends
to draw away from the noble. pure and the sublime. In the
bye and bye sweeter counsel will come.
Let us again say that there are so many who are doing
ChriStly things right at our doors. These far outnumber the
dark and cloudy happenings of the wor Id.

A NORMAL COLLEGE PUBLICATION.

The Sentinel is pleased to acknowledge the receipt of the
Mississippi Centennial edition of The New Spirit" edited and
published by the diploma class of the State Normal College at
Hattiesburg. 1t is a handsome publication and shows remark
able skill and ingenuity of preparation. 1t contains a brief but
comprehensive review of what Mississippi is-its uncultivated
lands, its roads. its banks. its industries and what it produces
in fishes. fruits. vegetables and agricultural products. The
classes and the faculty of the college come in for due recogni-
ton. We can not refrain from especially congratulating the
able and unique President Of the State Normal College, DR..
Joseph Cook. who is as rich in humor as he is in resources and
energy to bring things to pass.

II S much better to add another penny to the original cost OF the
letter and make sure that it will fulfill its mission than to leave
this penny off and not be sure whether it will be read or not.
But one can get a truly beautiful embossed letter head
and it will not cost even this one penny more. On some designs
for the first time the cost is more than others, but after the die Is
made the expense will be very little more than the printed letter
