HOW WE MAKE EN-.

How do we make them is a
question put forth by one Of
your exchanges in a recent Ely
terprise in speaking of the con-
duct of Reginld Vandcbilt of
New York City who sen: in
$500 income tax when he
should have paid $780, 100000.
Your editor says he can't inderz

thieves and hope some day to be
in their shoes.
Reginald Vanderbilt can new

City thousandth part Of what
New York City has given him
but the city should at least put
a stop to this continuous robbery
and it is trying to do it, not SO
much by its lawyers who are
suing for the difference in his
dues this one year, as by the
single takers, who would pre-
vent these unearned fortunes in
the future from going to the few
while the great body Of her
wealth producers must sweat
blood to make ends NEE. while
this robbery is going on! No
wonder we have little thieves in
abundance these days. If the.
land were not locked and
barred and bolted away from
the people, we would not have
to lock our door at night. Well
did Sir Thomas Moore Of Eng
land say in 1886, our laws do not
prevent robbery, they cause it.

UNIVERSAL MILITARY
TRAINING.

Congress is preparing for q
showdown on the subject of uni.

may come at any time.
Before lining up for or against
the proposition there are a few
facts worthy of consideration
by the parent.
II the United States is
dragged into another great war
it will need men by the millions.
If necessary it will simply draft
them and force them into the
ranws, irrespective of whose
sons they are.
A young man SO drafted goes

The care of his own health and
person. He has little hope of
advancement for the reason that
he has no knowledge and has
had no military training upon
which to base that hope.
He can not hope to escape
service in his turn the next
time, even if he SO desired, for
the reason that the evasio.s OF
the last war will not be allowed
to occur again, and the fact that
he is your son, or somebody
else's son, will avail him not at

serve his own life as well as to
take those of the enemy.
We have probably twenty
five or thirty millions of men in
this country who are neither too
young for military duty in an
emergency. With this number
of men versed in the require
ments of modern warfare no
other country would ever have
the temerity to attack us.
