To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I believe that militiamen are keenly conscious of the fact that many persons scoff at them as " tin soldiers." At all events, I know that when I was a militiaman I was sensitively alive to the good-natured superciliousness with which my friends regarded what to them appeared to be my harmless vanity. I believe, moreover, that as the duties are made more arduous and more serious the militia steadily improves, although it be- comes harder and harder to fill its ranks. On the other hand, I do not ...believe that over tvi'o-thirds of our militia would mate- rialize in war time, and I do not think that dependence could 78166—14434 9 be placed upon them until months of severe training and a weeding-out process had hardened them into military shape. I can not forget that no less than 16 States of the Union fell short by greater or less amounts of furnishing their quotas of troops during the Spanish War. I can not forget that after the first burst of enthusiasm was over cities and towns offered bounties in order to fill their quotas of troops in the Ci^al War.
