to lead this great, peaceful country

disastrous Of all wars, civilization
itself seeming to be in the balance
But the right Is more precious than
peace, and we shall fight for the
things which we have always carried
nearest our hearts-for democracy, for
the rights Of those who submit to au-

governments, for the rights and liber-
ties Of small nations, for a universal
dominion OF right by such a concert
OF free peoples as shall bring peace
and safety to all nations and make
the world itself at last free.
To such task we can dedicate our
lives and our fortunes, everything
that we are and everything that we
have with the pride of those who
know that the day has come when
America is privileged to spend hcr
blood and her might for the princi-

an examination held at any accessible
place where a small class of appli-
cants can be secured. The entrance
salaries range from $1,000 to $1,000

GUARD !. ]
IS ORGANIZED 4 T
IN DICKINSON
DICKINSON'S THIRD MILITARY
ORGANIZATION IS DULY
LAUNCHED
New Company Starts Out With
Eighty-five Chartered Members
Proposed Officers All Veterans

The Dickinson Home Guard, organ
lied for the protection of lives and
property and other patriotic duties
performed in the times of peace by the
National Guard, was successfully
launched at an enthusiastic prelimi-
nary meeting held at the Commercial
Club rooms Wednesday evening.
10 NJ. E. Hall, manager of the
North Dakota Independent Telephone
Co., for this district, and veteran of
the Spanish-American war, is due in
a large measure the success of this
important undertaking. He made a
house to house canvass for members
IN the down town district, and after
few hours secured the signatures of
IS men who promise to stand by the
organization, drilr diligently and obey
orders like any other good soldier.
All are willing to "do their bit" It
is expected that the company will
be increased to $50 members within a
few weeks.
A vote that the Dickinson Home
Guard be organized was unanimous,
and similar harmony was exhibited in
determining that a constitution and
by laws be drawn placing the organl-
zation under more or less military
discipline. Steps will be taken as soon
as possible to procure uniforms, arms,
equipment and federal recognition
under the recent act Of congress pro-
viding for the creation of home
guards.
1t was the consensus of the meet
ing that the new company be officered
by Major A. j. Osborn, Spanish war
veteran; Captain L. R. Baird, who
saw service on the Mexican border,
and Captain T. A. Tollefson, former
executive head of Company K, N. D.
N. G. These men, together with sew
eral others who have seen active mill
tary service, will give the Dickinson
Home Guard a military standing Sec
ond to no other similar organization
in the state.
A call is being issued to all men,
bers and to others who would like to
join the Guard, t., be present at the
armory next Monday evening at 1880
o'clock for the purpose of perfecting
the organization, adopting constitution
and bylaws and electing officers.
Every loyal man in Dickinson should
attend this meeting and do "his bit"
towards the success of the Dickinson
Home Guard.
