THE IDLE MINES

V WI‘nited Mine \l’orkcrs’, says that there
are. 763,000 coal miners in the United

In other wordv. lie charges that the

Today. the operators complain, and
doubtless with reason, that it‘s hard
to get labor at the mines. No won-

Added to the lack of miners is the:

LACK (OF MILITARY SPIRIT.
To the young men or the City at Nor-

it seems to me there must be some
‘thing wrong with the local young man
or something wrong with the Inn!
military establishment.
The State of Connecticut has pro
vided two attractive branches of the
service for the young men or this
city to choose from. the Coast Artill
cry and the Naval Militia, both of
which should “we“ to any man with
a spark of patriotism in him.
If the fault lies with the men, let
us try and find out. where it is.
if with the military or naval estab-
lishments let us try and remedy it.
The writer who has had over twen-
ty-nvc years experience both with the
regular service and the militia would
like to call the attention of the young'
men of the city to a few cold facts.
First let me call your attention to
the Military Law of the Country, The
Hillary Law of January 31,1903, as
amended by the act of My 27, 1908.
provides: "That the militia shnll con-
sist of every able-bodied mule citi-
Ien of the respective It too ', ‘ ‘
and every able bodied ma 9 of foreign

shall be devided into two classes—
the organized milltta. to be known as
the National Gunid o;- by auch other
designation as may be given them by
.the lmva of the respectlw States to
Territories. the remainder to be.
known an the reserve - militia." To
this latter class you sil belong, and
by this law you are subject
call of the Governor of the State at
any time. whether you like It or not.
Secondly. let me estate that the
next Congress will pus a hill making
compulsory military service for all
able-bodied mule citIlens between the
ages of ill and 45 y.ears Congress Will
also put»: a bill compelling military
training in all schools and collagen
for boys from 14 to 18 years of age.
Thirdly, let me, call your attention
to the remarks of Major General Leo-
nard Wood, 1'. S. A, "True national
lzation of the foreign born who b!»
come residents of the United states
can be cft'coted only through the
adoption of a system of universal mil
ltnry service." “We have now reach-
ed a stage in our development when
we must concentrate all of our ener-
[ties in order to Americanlze the new
masses that have come. to us. That
can be done only by the spirit of the
service. The spirit of the service is
not the spirit of-dodging responplbili-
ty. We have not to meet ~the issue
anuarely. When we fall the Nation’s
days are numbered. We ought to re
lain and guard the traditions of our
forefathers but think also of those
who will come after us. We want
our children to have pride. in us also.
We do not’ want. war, but we know
that many a peace is worse than war.
a peace that can be more dofllly than
any of war disasters. a peace that
marks the decadence of u people."
