Let Us Do Your Job Work
you are a member of the militia Un
less you are one of the small min
ority who have a uulfor'ii mid a
place dn a regular company, and as
semble in the armory upon stated
oocaslons you probably are inclined
to doubt the accu-ary of the fate
ment. While almost all of tiie adult
men in tills country are members of
the nwllitia under the law, few of
them know it.
The status of the male citizen as
members of the mlllUa Is fixed by
Ac of Congress of 190S, amended In
108 and 1910. Under It all able
bodied male citizens between the
ages of eighteen and forty-five, with
certain limited exceptions, comprise
the militia. Those who are enroll
ed, uniformed and equipped by the
states comprise whait Is known as
the Organized Mllltla. The remaind
er, which Includes the majority of
us, are known In the War Depart
ment and stand before the law a
members of the Reserve Mflilia.
No active duties are imposed upon
ihla vast unorganized body of Re
serve MURta. They are simply a
body that may be forced to become
members of an organized military
force. As the draft during the civil
war was brought home the liability
of citizens to serve the country un
der arms, whether they desire to
or not, this does not Impress us as
novel.
Under the law which was passed
in 1792, and whieh was in force for
over a hundred years, every able
bodied citizen cf suitable age was
not only a member of the mlMtla,
but presumed to be a member of the
active militia, and the theory under
which the founders of the Republic
enacted the law was that every such
person should and would be enrolled
as an active militia man prepared
for instant, active service by equip
ment and training. Under this law,
which was lu force until compara
tively recently, every man was pre
sumed to be a "minute man." Of
course, unlverEal service, while the
law of the land, remained but a
theory and was never enforced. The
laiw was a dead letter.
The Constitution of the United
States provides that "The Congress
shall have the power to provide for
calling forth the mJIhia to execute
the laws of the Union, suppress in
surrection, and repel invasion; to
iiovide for organizing and disciplin
ing the militia, and for governing
such part of them aa may be em
ployed In the service of the United
States, reserving to the states re
spectively the appointment of the
officers and the authority of train-
lug the militia according to the dis
cipline prescribed by Congress."
Under the present law it la the
organized militia that is organized
and disciplined and to wham we look
".o support our scant regular army
in the event of war. Until univers
al peace is a reality Instead of a
hope and a dream we must recog
nize war as a possibility. The de
velopment of the science and the
equipment of war renders an un-
rainned soldier, whatever lila nat
ural bravery and capacty, o( com
paratively Kittle value, and this is
especially true since the develop
ment of our civilization leaves fewer
ana fewer citizens who are in any
way tamuiar with the use of fire
arms. So it Is 'that the matter of
our citizen soldiery is one that is
of the greatett import, ana the laws
which regulate the uuihla should be
of unmeuiate concern to every ahi-zen.
Primarily the organized militia is
a Douy ot state troops, in rorty-
three of the states the mUitla is
known as the National Guard. In Ar
kansas ana Kentucky lit ia known as
State Guaide, in Florida as State
Troops, la Massachusetts as Volun
teer MUitla, in Rhode island as Mil
itia and in Kentucky as Volunteers.
These bouiea of citizen soldiery are
organized under state law and upon
the state tails most ot the expense
for the support ot its troops. The
state provides uniforms, equipment,
tents ana many hundred smaller it
ems that are neccEsary to the sol
dier in the various branches of the
service, it is ithe elate which pays
the officers and men for special du.-
Ifcs, and it is the state or a subdiv
ision of the state whk'h provides
the armories in which the guardsmen
drill and In which the equipment is
stored. Quite generally the county
lit the particular unit that constructs
the armcry, but now some of the
states are providing structures at
state expense, notably New York,
wlil;h is building up an unusually
strcr.fi and effective National Guard.
l-i. i, under the new law, the Na
t!c::ii government has assumed a
pr.K ct the burden and has in con
ScOUiiue secured kome voice in the
management and control of the state
lulhiia. Under the federal law the
government distributes to the state
$2,000,010 for the militia and defrays
various expenses in addition. States
which accept tlds aid must accept
certain requirements and submit to
the control of the War Department.
Practically all of the states have ac
cepted ftdtral aid and federal con
trol, South Carolina apparently re
maining as an exception. The inlla
.ia of a state which d e8 not accept
the proisions cf the Federal law is
not "organize!."
The Federal government prescribes
the system of drill, which mum con
form to that of the regular United
States troops. At least five con
secutive days in each year must be
uevcie to encampment, f unds are
distributed among tho states depend
ing on the. number of organized
troop which the state haa. The na
tional government supplies arms,
ammunition, belts, etc. Uugular of
ficers are detailed to instruct and
assist the state troops. Thus the
organized ftatt troops are becoming
in equipment and rtaininj,' uniform
At .times when the mlUtia Is not
within the servkve of the United
Sttitts the state authorities are In
control. The governor is generally
commander-in-chief. Usually the
power of calling out the mUKIa to
uppres disorder and enforce ttie
law within the tate rests with the
governor, though in a Tew states
other officer have this authority.
Thus in Massachusetts the mayor of
a city may call out the mllltla to as
Btet the civil authorities In cases of
local disorder.
The officering of the ml ill la is
within the control of the state gov
ernment. Usually the members of
the company elect the company of
ficers, the line officers elect the
field officer, and the field officers
elect the general officers. After
being elected they are usually ex
amined and, if found competent, are
then commissioned under state au
thority. The non-commissioned of
fsets are generally appointed by the
regimental commanders.
Anyone who is liable to military
service may enroll In the militia.
The enlistment of minors under
eighteen la apparently void. The
enllpitment of young men over eight
een but under twenty-one la binding
as against them, but may be avoid
ed at the Instance of their parents.

OFFICE OF STATE
FIRE COMMISSION
Lincoln, Nebr., July 12, 1913.
The Herald, Alliance, Nebr.
Dear KdHor: We are pleased to
Inform the public that the lowest
fire los ever experienced In tht
state on the Fourth ot July either
directly or Indirectly from fire
works was July 4th, 1913. This De
partment ha urged lis citizens
through bulletins and the press to
observe the Fourth In a safe and
sane way, and we feel grateful and
encouraged that the loss this year
has been so greatly reduced. Fire
reports In our office show but $190
damage and no lives lost by fire
works on this past Fourth. We
trust that before another Fourth of
July every city In the state will pass
ordinances prohibiting the sale of
fireworks.
This la a most appropriate time to
call the attention of the. citizens of
Nebraska to the dangers lurking In
sparks from ben fires or sparks
from chimneys, trains, etc. In hot,
dry weather when frame buildings
and shingle roofs are crisp and dry
a tiny stray apark of fire may cause
a great conflagration. People
throw old rubbish, dry grass, weeds,
and papers in alleys and back yards
and burn them up sometimes on
iwlndy days.- No one should ever
start a 'bon fire anywhere on a
windy day or ever go away and
leave it burning. A bon fire should
not be star ed wRhln 20 feet of any
wocd building, hed or fence. If
tl:; grass around where the fire Is
st tilted is very dry it should be
sprii 'tied well with water before
starting the fire. During the hot
dry summer men should be partic
ularly careful about throwing away
lighted matches and cigar or cigar
ette stubs. Destructive prairie
fires wiping out thousands of dol
lars worth cf property and sacrific
ing many lives have be-en caused by
bon fires and these careless prac
tices.
Very truly yours.
W. 8. RIDUKLL,
Chief Deputy Fire Commissioner.
