urgently than they are needed in the
state.
There Is no immediate necessity for
this, but it ought to be acted upon just
the same promptly. so if the time
should arrive, everything would be in
working order and all that the officers
of the law from governor down would
have to do is to call upon these men
to assist them. Such organizations in
any community will do more TO dis
pell doubts, allay agitation, and estab
lish confidence than most anything
else.
We are facing a crisis; we are In
war and we are going to stay in this
war until it Is finished and finished
our way and whatever can be done by
every individual citizen, ought to be
done. The women of Lewiston have
started an organization of this kind on
a similar plan and I am proud of 1t
and we ought to follow it up and be-
lieve 1t will be needed in some locali
ties at some future time. There is
nothing like taking time by the fore

of this kind and urge upon the various
communities to do this. Nothing
would please me better, and nothing
would be more in order at the present
