Phone Matn 9400 tl wilh Spirit of ’76 and Spirit of 1915 OME 140 years ago, in what was then the nucleus of the United States, every man and boy owned a musket and knew how to use it. They were skilled in woodcraft, knew their own country and could bring down any game within range with one shot. Yet in all the terrible years of the Revolution- ary war ti took 250,000 of them to defeat 150,000 invaders. The British could not shoot as well and neither did they possess the spirit of the American colo- nist who was fighting for his home and for his convictions. BUT THEY WERE WERE TRAINED! Organization and training brought over 3,000 miles of sea, kept them going in a strange and hos- tile country, where they were greatly outnumbered by the inhabitants, and enabled them to remain ORGANIZED! THEY there for eight years. The “Spirit of 1776 ,”’ the famous picture, tells vividly at a glance our side of the war of the Rev- olution.

Even the oldest of them was, individually, a better tighting man than the British soldier. The colonist fought for “life, liberty and the ‘pursuit of happiness,” while the Britisher fought because an ofticer would stick him in the back with a sword if he didn’t. Individually they were better fighting than the redcoats; collectively they were not. were motley bands against trained units, With 75,000 trained and equipped men—halt the British numbers—Washington might have van quished the invaders as quickly as their regiments were landed. Given equal training and equipment with the British, and their spirit and knowledge of the country and of marksmanship would have done the rest. At the utmost it is unlikely that it would have required more than two years But instead Washington had “ragged conti- nentals,” half starved, loosely organized and equip- ped with practically only what they could furnish themselves. he spirit of 1945 is perhaps the equal of the spirit of 1776. But the young man of 1915 cer- tainly is NOT the equal as a fighting man of his forefathers of revolutionary times. The American boy of the eighteenth century knew how to handle a gun, He was inured to hardships and unaccus- tomed to the comforts of this age.

Dancing is fun. not wicked, but it may be Good people like to dance; wicked people like to dance. Dancing may be a menace to public morals if permitted in one hotel, or cafe, and it may not be a menace to public morals if permitted in another hotel, or cafe. There are hotels and hotels, and cafes and cafes. Use a little common sense, councilmen. What we want is public order and morality, dancing or no dancing. If the refractory want to behave Give the chief of police responsible for results. For instance: members themselves, pelled to behave themselves.
