which shall be wholly national in char
acter.
As the foundation of such system
already exists in the federal law, as
has been shown above. it remains
only for the nation to build upon that
foundation a modern democratic mill
tary structure, and to remove such
legislatures restrictions as prevent the
compulsion of every man of military
ago and fitness to serve beyond the
leo. for instance, if need should there
arise-as he must now serve within his
own territory.
Universal liability to military serv-
ice being fixed in the law, the ques-
ton now arises, shall we not train our
young men in such a manner that thew
VIII be the more able to perform Of
fectiVely the patriotic duty which the
law has bound upon them. with the
maximum of comfort and safety for
themselves?
The education OF Il youth to become
litcrate and useful citizen already is
compulsory. Modern conditions of life
demand that he shall be made also
highly efficient in physique, moral and
discipline. And the security of the
nation requires that he shall be taught
to perform, with ease and precision
on land or sea, the military service
the law and national security demand
of him.
Experience and intelligent observa
ton have shown that this training
should be given not later than when
the youth closes his common school
career, and that it should be treated
as finishing course in physical devel
opmcnt. character building the mill
tary sciences and patriotism.
Thus, universal military or naval
training should be treated merely as
an extension of n youths customary
course of studies. and it should be Civ

PIG FINDS NEW FIELD.

On February l the sale of aigrettes
became illegal. Forewarned, dealers
in millinery began frantic search for a

ready to give up in despair.
The inspiration came to a genius in
Chicago. He produced artifcially an

refusing to permit anyone to ap-

Joab of Yale?
EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDITOR THE TIMES:
notice an article in Thursdays
Times concerning Col. Joab, in
which you speak Of him as fresh
from Yale"
To correct an impression which
may have arisen from this phrase,
L wish to say that Joab may have
attended Yale at one time, for a
day, or a month, or some other
brief period, or he may only have
passed through Yale ON his way
to the coast.
But he is not a Yale graduate,
and his name will not be found In
any list of living graduates Of that
college.
The Yale men of Tacoma resent
the imputation that Joab Is a Yale
man, and l take this opportunity
of asking you to correct the i'm
preston.

that the dress was not worth the

Nearly a quarter of a century
ago the "Col." had an ambition
to be the prosecuting attorney OF
this county, and In order to fur
Their this laudable ambition, he,
prior to the convention, proceeded
to escort in squads many OF the
lawyers OF the city to Chilberg' q
restaurant and there RECALLED them
with T-bone steaks, corn on the
cob and all the delicacies of the
season, and made known to them
his ambition and announced his
candidacy.
The Col" received about 13
out of about 200 votes in the
convention, and therefore failed
to get the coveted nomination.

thereafter delivered many street
