conservatives, in debate in the Sax

Socialists Demand Reform.
The discussion was on necessary in
ternal reforms. The occasion for the
debate was a socialist resolution de-
rnanding that the government make
an effort to secure LIBERAL reorganiza'

After Count Vitzthun, premier OF
Saxony, had declared on contrary that
the Saxon government would fight any
attempt to secure any franchise re

of the house, himself an ex-soldier

He warned Count Vitzthun against

Uncle Sam is going to take hand

responsible for the elimination of all

will be the coy and skinny English

WASHINGTON, July 5-Exemp'
tIon boards, which will adminls-
ter the seIective draft, have begun
giving serial numbers to the men
who registered on June 5. IN
structions from Washington are to
post the numbers publicly as soon
as aiven. This was being done
in some parts Of the country to-
try and led to false reports that
drafted numbers had been an
nounced. No drafting whatever
has been done as yet, and prob
ably will not be done for several
days.
Reports that the frst drawing had
been made for the conscript army and
that the numbers had been made pub
lie, created much excitement In Rich
mond this afternoon.
A local brokerage firm received
list of numbers purporting to be the
numbers of the men who are con
scripted in each voting precinct in the
United States, early in the afternoon
over their private wire from New
York. The numbers as given by them
are: s, II, II, 81, 62, 81, 100, 107, 1Os
III, ia, 145, 146.
Further reports received over this
wire said that each number repre-
sented approximately $4,000 men over

He always has been, fnd always will
be a pest--we mean the man who re-
quests, demands or commands the
management of a newspaper to send
me Tor u.s. a free copy of your paper
in which my Cor our article appears"
Now, at this particular time, he is an
economic danger. With the cost of
print paper doubled and trebled, with
stamps maintaining their ancient scale
of prices, ana wrapping paper, clerical
hire and ink costly, the man who
wants a copy of the paper free WHEEL
ever he asks free space in its columns,
is a problem for the efficiency experts.
These offenders come from all class
es. Press agents for the railroads,
church boards and societies, prohibit
tionists, liquor organizations, actresses,
moving picture houses, etc, etc, etc,
include with their requests for free
space the reminder that they expect !
copy of the paper sent to the address
given.
THE NEWS has in the past been
one of their victims, but from this
time on we will cease to note these de
niands. If anyone is interested enOugF
in THE NEWS to desire to use space
in its columns without cost to himseI
or herself Or themselves, etc, etc, i
is a fundamental truth that the pap4
is worth the price they gladly pay TO
a copy of a foreign paper.

absorbed or discouraged, which is for
bidding and depressing. The fellow
with head erect looks hopeful, and in
spires confidence.
Military drill also makes boys
quickly responsive to commands. The
human mind naturally works SLOWLY.
IF unused to acting in company with
others, the order of a commander
seems to run up against some blank
wall of slow thought. So it is that
the bunch of raw recruits are all over
the street. Their mental reaction is
slow, and their nerves and muscles
don't keep time with their minds. AS
they practice the taking and receiving;
of orders, these faculties become alert
and responsive and the drill acquires
precision and uniformity.
Modern life calls for quick thinking
and immediate reactions. Any expe-
rience that promotes these acquire
ments has great value. The sense OF
rhythm and enthusiasm OF numbers
make any kind of a drill by companies
of people an invigorating and awaken
ing experience. Boys are never tired
of playing soldier. They would find
such drills as a part of school or col
lege work, physically stimulating and
mentally pleasurable, to say nothing
of the possible military value.
