Military Training Unnecessary.

More because they feared the dis
approval of the country than from any
desire to do the right thing, the Re-
publicans in Congress refused to write
into the new army bill provision for
compulsory military training for the
youth of the country; but they did not
neglect to serve the munitions manu-
facturers by providing for a regular
army of more than 300, 900 men, which
is three times as large military es-
tablishment as the country needs. Out
side of professional army officer circles
and the interested manufacturers,
there was practically no demand for
compulsory military training, and we
are pleased that the Democrats in Con-
gress went on record almost unani-
mously in opposition to this phase of
militarism, which had kept the people
disturbed ever since the World war
closed.
Just before his death some months
ago, Senator Thomas s. Martin of
Virginia, in one of his last public ut
terances, warned the country against
compulsory military training, saying
that we would not have another war
for 30 years, "that peace is here and
peace will stay for long time. We
don't need guns. we need plows. ?,
The greatest blessing that, could have
come out of peace with Germany would
have been world disarmament. 1t
would not only have relieved the peo-
pie of millions of taxes, put workers in
the fields and shops, saved millions of
homes from ruin and put broad smile
on humanity, but 1t would have kept
the nations from nagging one another,
and thus embraced the world In per-
manent peace pact.
The worst slavery this nation ex-
periences is seen in its subjection to
the military and naval schemes, which
are demanding of the people millions
of dollars to maintain their vain pre-
tensions in the shape of great warships
and army equipment. The nation suf-
fers the burdens of great feudal sys-
tenn, which imagined its safety de-
pended upon a few armed leaders,
whom the people worked to feed until
called upon to fight for them.

DREAM OF AN 0PIUN-EArER
Deouincey.


thought that it was Sunday morn
ing in May, that it was Easter Sunday,
and as yet very early in the morning.
was standing, as it seemed to me, at
the door Of my own cottage. Right
before me lay the very scene which
could really be commanded from that
situation. but exalted, as was usual,
and solemnized by the power Of dreams.
There were the same Hountains, and
the same lovely valley at their feet;
but the mountains were raised to more
than Alpine height, and there was in
terspace far larger between them of
meadows and forest dawns; the hedges
were rich with white roses; and no liv-
ing creature was to be seen, excepting
that in the green churchyard there were
cattle TRANQUILITY reposing upon the ver-
dant graves, and particularly round
about the grave of a child whom had
tenderly loFed, just as I had really be-
held them little before sunrise in the
same summer when that child died. l
gazed upon the well known scene and
said aloud (as thought) to myself,
1T yet wants much of sunrise. and il
Is Easter Sunday; and that is the day
on which they celebrate the first fruits
Of resurrection. / will walk abro ad;
old griefs shall be forgotten today; for
the air is cool and still, and the hills are
high and stretch away to Heaven; and
the: forest glades are as quiet as the
churchyard; and with the dew / can
wash the fever from my forehead, and
then l shall be unhappy no longer. I"
And l turned, as IL to open my garden
gate; and Immediately saw upon the
left a scene far different; but which yet
the power of dreams had reconciled in
to harmony with the other. The scene
was an Oriental one; and there also it
was Easter Sunday. and very early in
the morning. And at vast distance
were visible, as a stain upon the hori-
zon, the domes and cupolas of great
| city-an image of faint abstraction,
caught perhaps in childhood from some
picture Of Jerusalem. And not bow
shot from me, upon stone and shaded
by Judean palms, there. sat a woman:
and looked; and it was--Ann. She
fixed her eyes upon me earnestly; and
said to her at length: $50 then have
found you at last" WAITED; but she
answered me not word. Her face
was the same as when / saw 1t last. and
yet again how different Seventeen
years ago when the lamplight fell upon
her face. as for the last time kissed
he lips clips, Ann, that to me were not
polluted), her eyes were streaming with
tears; the tears were now wiped away:
she seemed more beautiful than sbe
was ut that time, but in all other points
the same, and not, older. Her looks
were tranquil; but with unusual solem-
nifty OF expression; and now gazed upon
her with some awe; but suddenly her
countenance grew dim, and, turning to
the mountains, perceived vapours roll
ing between us; in q moment, all had
vanished; thick darkness came on and.
in the twinkiing of an eye, was far
away from mountains. and by lamp
light in Oxford street walking with
Ann-just as we walked II years be-
fore. when we were both children.

paid up. The entire month is to he
devoted to payment Of pledges and
further enlistment so by May / the

Irrespective Of the ratification of the
federal suffrage amendment, there are
7,5l0.0O0 women of voting age in 30
States that have already qualified to
vote in the presidential election in
November, according to figures COM
piled by the National American Woman
Suffrage association. Ratification. II
is estimated, will extend the privilege
to about 8, 500. 600 more.
South Carolina is the best State In
the Union for the negro" says The
Peoples Herald (negro) of Columbia,
Nowhere In America Is the negro
getting on so well in the economic
world az here. Nowhere has he as
many real friends in the time Of need.
We do not claim angelic perfection for
the white citizens Of the State. They
have their faults like the common herd
Of humanity. While, ON the other
hand, the negro has his faults, ne. toe.
