The Krr>huv Guards. This splendid military com pany has been brought to a high standard of excellence, owing to the efforts of CapL 8. C. Zomp. As every military organisation in the States is uuw uuder Gov ernment rules and regulations, it is gratifying to note that ours ranks umong the first for excel lence of drill and soldierly bear ing. There is .a very important at tribute of a soldier in which some of the young men are still lack ing, and that is discipline. With out this quality, a man can nev er be a good soldier, and we are jHad to see that Captain Zemp is taking vigorous steps to remedy the defect. His marching of his company to the base ball ground on last Wednesday and arresting several of the players for non attendance at drill is evidence of this. Some ud verse comment has been excited because of his action, but hts duty was plain otul he did it. We have no doubt that the younsf men arrested have also seen the matter in the ]iroper light, and will not forget the lesson.
