While the third term cry may have
some effect yet we belier e that a ma
jority of people would prefer three
terms of honest government to a re
turn to former conditions that sent
some prominent officialstto the pen and
-oblivion and cast a cloud of suspicion
upon a host ot others as being aiders
and abettors to their nefarious schemes
for robbing the state riSMance Grip

effect that11 tramps or vags that
wear pants are as soon as discovered
in that vicinity -arrested by Marshal
Spearmanand tarcen toeFt Kobinsou

To the contrary nogood citizen en
dorses aa action that leads o impress
tiag tramps into -the
service of the United States in any
capacity whRtever and sp9cially in
oar army which should be -composed
-of the firstflewer of our natiorfs man
ihood honest intelligent and honor
able Americans
The war department realised this
and also the necessity of a change in
thepersohnel of the army and in 1895
issued general orders relative io en
listments disbarring foreigneis Illiter
ates -ex-convicts and those who -were
unable to procure satisfactory refer
ences as to good moral character If

should be disbanded
What Reside the Mg of our cous
try is calculated to inspire in the
breast xf ordinary citizen a more
patriotic spirit more bursting pride
and loVe of God and country than the
sight of our regular army boys in blue
Then shall we seek to compel these
brave boys to associate with the scum
of creation and shall our tramps
hobos and vagsr carry Old iRlofy into
battle wearing the uniform designed
for an honest honorable soldier 2fo
neither would toe editor of the JJews
uphold such an outrage to our army if
