The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1898-04-28

preston of a more utter contempt There
Is on foot this morning plan TO make a
public demonstration tonight.
Tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock W. L.
Brown of Kingman, the recruiting officer
for Wichita, will be at the City building
ready to receive the enlistment of any
one who wishes to go TO the war with
Spain. An examining surgeon will ac-
company Mr.. Brown. 1t has not been de-
cided yet what room will be assigned to
Mr. Brown for his work. He wants the
armory, but the guard boys refuse to
have things rubbed in on them in that
way, and when Mayor Ross went up last
night, at Mr. Browns request, to ask
for the armory for the enlistment work,
the boys said that if any of Leedy's re-
crliting officers came up there they
would be thrown down stairs bodily.
The following telegram came from H.
n. Boyd yesterday to the officers of the
guard here:
Topeka. Kan, ApAl q, 1898.
capt. George D. Downing Wichita,
"ou will carefully pack all arms, Goth
ing and equipage belonging to the state
or federal government at once and direct
to this Office. Send two invoices and two
receipts with each. BY command of the
governor. II. N BOYD,
Assistant Adjutant General
This IS considered as a practical dis
handing of the Kansas National Guard.
The boys are completely discouraged
Major Minick wrote the adiutant gen
eral yesterday that he proposed to hold
the equipage here under civil lien for hall
rent and other expenses of keeping up
the company. amounting to SIS.
member of the local guards said yes
terday, summing up the situation con-
cisely:
IF people would stop to think about
the matter they would understand that
the guard should have the first chance.
Many men have been members of the
guard for years and have spent money
from their own pockets for uniforms,
equipment and in many cases for armory
rent They have given their time and
worked hard. They are certainly better
qualified for positions than many men
VINO know nothing Of military tactics
During the times that the states wanted
them to play soldier" they have played
at a cost to themselves; now that there
Is a chance for them to go to the front
as active volunteers, why should they be
set aside for ones who have only po-
litical pull to back them up for the
places?"
Many members Of the Kansas National
Guard have expressed the opinion that
If the guard and the guard officers of
Kansas and other states are turned down
and not taken in the volunteer service
In preference to others that it will be
the death OF the state militia and that in
the future when 1t is proposed to organ
ize companies that the feeling will be
that it is of no use for the reason that
It Will gain them nothing when war
comes
In many OF the states the national
guard is equal to the regular army and
In many cases a far better class OF men.
There are troops of cavalry light bat
teries and infantry companies that are
drilled and equipped as well as those of
the army. They will make good fighters
and are ready to go.
