Universal military training. to my
mind, would be a fine thing for the
young men OF the country. even
though they were never called on to
use the Information in military way.
About seven out Of ten boys need the
physical development such training
would give And if ever called on to
fight, it would be far better that they

favorable; the opposition comes from
those who are not thoroughly familiar
with what universal military training
means. Personally I have long felt
that aside from what value such train
ing may have from a military point Of
view. that there would result from the
plan a very distinct benefit to our cit
izenship as q whole by the good effects
from the disciplinary training given
young men. My experience on the
bench plainly indicated to inc that
there is entirely too much lack Of re
spect for authority in the young men
OF today. and ii six months or more
military training could instill into
them an increased regard for law and
order, the results would amply justify
the time and effort spent

THE ARMOKY AT THE u. OF M.
Gov. Failed to Sign Resolve Making the
Appropriation.

appropriation.
Governor Milliken failed to sign the
resolve for an appropriation of money
for the armory at the University of
Maine. Under the statutes the resolve
will become law three days after the
next meeting of the legislature, unless
the governor vetoes 1t.
The resolve in favor of an armory at
the University of Maine was introduced
in the last days of the session when the
war news was at its height, and no one
opposed it with the exception of George
H. Allan of Portland. Some surprise
was occasioned by Rep. Allan attitude,
because of the fact that he Is an alum
nus of the university and the only infer
eEce at this time is that Rep. Allan op-
posed the measure at the suggestion of
Governor Milliken.
Section of Part of Article w, of
the Constitution, says that every bill or
resolution having the force of law, to
which concurrence of both houses may
be necessary except on question of ad.
journment, which shall have passed both
houses, shall be presented to the COVER
nor and If he approves, he shall sign it.
II not, he shall return it with his objec-
tons to the house in which it shall nave
originated, which shall enter the, bjec.
lions at large on its journals and proceed
70 reconsider it.
If, after such reconsideration, two
thirds of that house shall agree to pass
it, it shall be sent, together with the OBJ
j ctions 10 the other house, by which i,
shall be reconsidered and if approved by
two-thirds of that house, it shall have
the same effect as if it had been signec
by the governor, but, in all su>h cases
the votes of both houses shall be taken
| by yeas and nays and the names of the
persons voting for and against the bill
or resolution shall be entered upon the
journals of both houses respectively. II
| the bill or resolution shall not be return
| ed by the governor within five days.
| Sundays excepted, after it shall have
been presented to him, it shall have the
same force and effect as if he had signed
it. unless the legislature prevent it's re-
turn, in which case 1t snail have force
and effect unless returned within three
days after their next meeting.
OF course, if a special session is called
the resolve will become law within
three days after such assembling, as i,
was passed under the emergency clause
that is-unless the governor sends We
to message to the legislature on it ane
that body upholds the governors veto.

CALL TO THE COLORS.
BY WILLIAM HENRY DIXON.

BY WILLIAM HENRY DIXON.
Don't you hear the bugles blowing,
From old Maine to Mexico?
Brave Old Glory's coiors flowing,
As in days of long ago!
Loud and clear the bugle's ringing,
Sweet the song of fife and drum.
AS to arms our men are sprlnglng
Let US join them as they come.
IT'S the call to the Coors
OF our valiant men and true,
IT'S the call to the Colors
OF the Old
Sweet and clear the music ringing,
Don't you hear it down the street?
And in time with voices singing.
Comes the tramp of marching feet.
Waving high is brave Old Glory,
Grand old Flag our sacred trust!
And that Flag of song and story,
Never vet has traied the dust.
IT'S the call to the Colors,
And it comes direct to you.
IT'S the call to the Colors
OF the Old
and Blue!
Ill.
Grandest Flag upon the ocean,
Grandest Flag on sea or land,
Let US pledge our true devotion
And defend it heart and hand;
From the far off plains of Texas,
From the pine woods of the North,
From the mountains, hills and valleys,
Valiant sons again march forth.
It's the call to the Colors,
Of our valiant men and true.
It's the call to the Colors
OF the Old
White
and Blue!
