AN ARMED MANHOOD WOULD ORGANIZE WITH A 'VIEW TO EFFICIENCY. While Not in Direction of Compul- sory Adult Service Would Train Youth to Military Dis- cipline and in Use of the Rifle. London, May 15.--In a discussion in the House of Lords of compulsory ser- vice in the militia for home defence Earl Dundonald said that a school of thought * had arisen which realized that the empire was but a paper em- pire: unless it was defended by armed and organized manhood. was a school of thought which would insist "one the government organizing the manhood oi the nation, not in the direction of militarism, but in the di- reetion of common-sense efficiency. While it was not necessary to institute compulsory adult service, he consider- ed it wise to compulsorily train the youth to military discipline and kndwledge of the rifle. He hoped the government would" put forward a scheme 16F the defence of the empire by its armed 'manhood. THE GREATEST NEED. President Roosevelt Would Say, Clean Men. Delineator For June. one were to go to the president of the United States and ask him to name the eountry's greatest need he would reply in his quick, conclusive way. "Clean men." He knows. Smart men there are by thousands; rich men abound more than in any other age of the world; able men are found in every state and township, but even from a population of eighty millions the chief executive has difficulty in finding the man of exceptional charac- ter for a post which requires a square and flawless morality. 1% is to his eredit that he misses no opportunity to preach clean manhood. But neither presidents nor preachers nor teachers can do the work of fathers except in their own families. We do not mean to under-estimate the marvelous influence of the mother. In most lands men who reach success give their mothers the credit. "All that I am I owe to my mother," said Lincoln. "It was yon who taught me to write so. You real- ly did, dear mother," said Carlyle. We get our moral qualities from dur say the physiologists, and as we look back, we find this maternal affection the loveliest thine <n earth. But isn't there a conviction down deep in our souls that we should have done much better if our fathers had taken time and trouble to share qur confd- ences in the years that counted most? ------ - Lumbering And Frog Concerts.
