In ft certain technical sense this was true. Three months ago the regular army .'insisted . . f 27,000 men, and it was the only force immediately available for the field. The National (iuard, over 100,0i)0 strong, waa made up of young men in active business, who, while ready to respond at once, needed some little time for organi zation in the national service and for proper equipment. On paper the navies of I'nited States and Spain were not far from evenly mat.!.. I The - a-ond Spanish troops in Cuba numbered mors than 100,000. Plainly the task before the I'nited States was one of magnitude and certain to cost an immense fum ol meney. But the nation calmly accepted the re sponsibility. Having reached the conviction that war was necessary the people of all the state came forward to make it successful. The tails for volun'eers were tilled without delay. Increased taxation to pay the expenees of the war was accepted without a murmur. The loan asked by the govrnment was largely over-subscribed. In every directions the requirements were met by a common impulse, with the most devoted support. The patriotism displayed on every hand has been complete. When it was said in Europe last April, before the declaration of war, that the, I'nited States was not ready a mistake was made in two particulars. For one thing, the genius of the American people to make rapid preparation was underrated. In the second place, our navy considering its size, was the most efficient oody of fighting sailors and ships in the world Both the army and navy should have been larger, and we should have iiad on hand more modern guns and war material. Hut the united rally of the people was e.jiial t" the em. rgen.v When it came to a naval conflict the hot Spanish idiips went down in u help less mas under our tremendous fire and skilled marksmanship. It m cL-ar that the Spanish navy, which looked so imposing in the year books, Ml unlit for war. Its crew had courage, without -kill or proper training. In the army operation as far as they went the enemy was defeated at every poitti attack, d. That the administration has risen to the lull level of the energy anil patriotism of the people i .1 icl apparent to all. It line advah. cd ... I ry way the prestige of the I am American. I'ongn s., too, has been eijual to the occai-ion. The war appropriations foot up 1850,000,000. Two hundred thou, and volunteers were provided for. The regular army, on a war tooting h.l- nc-reass.l to t'.(i,lHNt men. M. ":: foi important additions to then ivy was passed. Hawaii was annexed, and chiefly for military reason. A government loan w is authorized. The war revenue bill passed add IIoO.ihmi. 000 i year to the treasur. . Before hostilities opened the navy wan strengthened by the judicious purchase of fighting ships abroad. All this was accomplished in less than three months. Back of the achievement is American patriot ism. In the presence of an enemy the people of all the states -bowed ' nIM front and ft common ftnr- Jpose. While it ta true that here-! aft. r we should ! more reedy fur war than we were when hostilities I .. pei. ed with Sin. it i- 1 1 1 v true that the t.t nti.il reouri-c of' 'this country ere never more wide- i ly acknowledged than they are toj i dav. Globe DctiiiK-rat. The Itrenham l'r.--say- pen pie owe it to the community in which they live to do everything they can that will in any way in- Isurc to it advantage. This is true I ....I.. : ' a.w I... I it noioiii. in gvM.i. mj , if ii i . a, p'ies to everybody who lives in the community. A neighbor's prosperity means a great deal more than some one's who lives elsew here This should be borne, in mind in buying goods. Citizens an afford to pay the home mer chant a fair price for his goods rather than end monev away, knowing as they do that every dollar the home merchant makes will help in sustaining local schools, churches and public insti tutions. It pays richly to patron ize home industry. Names aiitt tirades jf lletliel Normal student. V e clip the following from "The Musical Trio.'' published by Prof. K.
