Title: Inkstand. Extra. Why are Boston's quotas not full? Is it not because Boston has not been so liberal as the adjoining towns? If the authorities had offered $200 for three years' men, and $100 for nine months' men, would not the quotas, in all probability, have both been filled by this time? Can they not be filled by the first of September, if those bounties are immediately offered? Will it not be better to offer them than submit to the disgrace of a draft? We think all these questions can be answered in the affirmative, and we hope it will be tried before too late. Let Boston not be behind in liberality. Volunteers want money in hand not "regimental funds." Offer to put $100 into every man's hand who will volunteer for nine months, and men will come forward with a will. Let the city government order it forthwith!
