GOT THEIR
500 PER DAY-GUARDS 81

The special session of the Legisla-
ture which has just closed was liberal
with everyone but the Guardsmen
and eX-service men.
After appropriating almost a
quarter of a million dollars the bill
to pay the guardsmen bonus of $50
and the ex-service men $40 per
month went into the discard.
1t seemed the right thing for the
members to pay the receivers 500
per day for their work, but the
guards who left their jobs and places
of business must be content with the
81 per day they are guaranteed.
A resolution protesting the bills of
the receivers was prepared by Repre-
sentative Gibbons of Meade, but ac-
cording to the daily papers Governor
Allen called him into conference and
the resolution was not introduced.
We fail to see why the guardsmen
were not entitled to extra pay for
their time as we'll as the receivers,
but legislative bodies do peculiar
things, and this is one of the in
stances.

ca. America is on trial before the
bar of humanity.
AS lifelong Republican who has
never voted a Democratic ticket l
can say that l for one am done with
the Republican party, with the thous-
ands of others, if we repudiate our
world responsibilities and allow Eu-
rope this winter to sink in starvation
and revolution, we are placing
America in the position of the most
hated and despised nation of the
world. America alone can save the
situation. Shall we refuse to do it?
The vast majority are indignant
with the President for failing to take
the Senate and the country into his
confidence, but they are yet more
indignant with the little group of re-
dictionaries in the Senate who are
deaf to the demands of the American
people and are holding up this great
international issue to the detriment
of America and the world. The
country is sick of this delay.
If you agree with me can you not
write or telegraph to the two Sena-
tors of your state, urging prompt and
decisive action in the matter of the
Treaty and the League? l feel that
this is a non-partisan, moral issue and
a great international question, and
so write you.

LEGISLATURE KILLED
ANTI-PROFITEER BILL

Attorney General Hopkins did moi
get far with the anti-profiteer bill in
the last session of the legislature
The members had been called togeth-
err to protect the public from the Ia
Dor element and it Seems that protec-
ton from the profteer was another
matter. We dislike to knock, but we
fail to see why the profitecr should
not come in for his share of legisla-
ton. Perhaps if this class of cattle
were herded a trifie closer there
would not be so much need to legis-
late regarding labor. 1t is no doubt
true that with the necessities of life
reaching such unheard Of heights,
laws to curb strikes are very neces-
sary, but after all, is that going to
the root of the trouble?

Subscription Price $1.5O Per Year

The army and navy bill seems like
ly to pass in its present form, having
received a small majority in the COM
mittee. The bill provides four
months compulsory military service,
with two weeks additional service
each year. We were pleased to note
that Senator Capper voted against
the bill and are glad to commend
him for his stand. Four months is
not long service, but like all other
evils it is just start. AS soon as
the people become reconciled to four
months it will be easy to make it
eight and then for a longer period.
We hope to see the people take a de-
cided stand against the system re-
CARELESS of politics, as it is merely a
step in the direction of the same
military system fostered in Germany.

Italian Athletes
Eager 10 Learn,
Says Plat Adams

Platt Adams, New York athlete. mem
Der of the American Olympic teams O.
1903 and 1912, now physical director
of the foreign department of the Y. NJ
G. A. and head coach of the Italiar
Olympic team, writes from Rome a,
account of his preliminary work with
the Italian athletes to the foreign de
partment of the Y. NJ. C. A. The let
ter says in part:
In am finally on my way around the
country visiting the various cities where
promising athletic material may be found.
me pan Is Tor me to stay in each city
from three days to a week. according TO
the number Of athletes available in the
place, and to get out on the field each day
ana go through practicable demonstra-
lion lesson, and then in the evenings to
laying out what would be the best train
ing methods and explaining the various
methods. When this trip is over | shall
return to Milano and arrange a series Of
candidates.
There is lack Of organization for
track and field, and there are very few
tracks, fields in most cases being laid out
for soccer, which is their biggest game
and pastime. The men for the most part
are small in stature, and while ,hcy arc
very powerfully built their muscles are
rigid. They have plenty of endurance
and considerable enthusiasm and interest
and Willingness to learn, and my aim is
10 develop few men for the rest TO
copy.
For instance, on account of Dorando's
showing in the Olympic meet in 1908, it
was the ambition of every boy in Italy to
become Marathon runner In spite Of
the difficulty with which had expected to
meet in regard to training. I have found
the men quite willing to listen to reason
and be very moderate in personal habits,
Inc country rs a whole has accepted tho
olympic proposition with open arms and
this, combined with the interest on the
part OF the young men. is pretty good
