Why Oont McCrory
Have a Home Guard
We notice that all over our
land and country there are or
ganizations being perfected that
have for the object of their ex
istence the protection of the
home locality, the women and
_ _i , i • i
v'unuicu, auiciy we umm as
much of our’s as do other vicini
ties and the need here is greater
if we will only open our eyes to
conditions.
This Home Guard holds no con
nection with the War Depart
ment nor State, yet it stands
ready and willing to help uphold
the law and be • of assistance
should their services be needed
for the protection of home and
loved ones.
In the light of some objections
we answer that the business men
the great financiers, whose time
is worth far more than the ma
jority, are willingly devoting
their time from the pursuit of
selfish pleasure to measures for
the protection of all that life
holds dearest.
To say that it is not needed is
at Present patent to anyone but
to say that it will never be need
ed is foolhardy and shows that
we are not thinking far into the
future and should it never be
needed would be that much more
cause for rejoicing, yet prepared
ness would cause us all to feel
much safer.
Let us think along this line,
and see if it would not be as well
for us to be up and doing. We
know not how long the war will
last. We said the Civil war
would only be a “breakfast spell’’
but four years is a long time to
put in at one time at the table;
we said that we would win out
in the Spanish-American in such
a short time that we would not
have time to start, and yet, be
fore it was settled to the extent
that we could lay down our arms
and turn the business over to
other hands, we had found that
it had taken us quite a spell, still
at that should the war be long or
short a Home Guard trained
would be a valuable addition to
the protection of our locality
from lawlessness and an added
protection to our homes, to our
loved ones and does not add to
_l__ j. _ _ 1_1_
any nuuuis aui uu any uuiucu,
just a little time spent in a recre
ation that would be beneficial to
the body and mind, and to the
tired business man would be a re
laxation that he really needs, and
for that reason alone it would be
a paying investment of time, and
that is all it would cost. No dues,
no expense and no money con
siderations need to be into it, but
simply an organization patterned
after the army for home protec
tion.
The editor has been kind
enough to give us space in the
paper for the discussion if nec
essary (which should not be) of
this movement, but let us get
busy and make plans for home
protection and security. All of
us cannot go to war, all of us
cannot contribute to raising food
stuff nor can all of us give money
but most of us can give some
part of our time in preparation
of home security. We notice
that a home guard was organized
by a man 72 years of age, show
ing the spirit exemplified regard
less of age.
Yours for the home,
Volunteer.
