RECRUITING SLOW.

1t is the prevailing opinion among
uninformed people that when the
United States government opens re-
cruiting Office for either branch Of the
military service that all one has to do
is to apply and acceptance follows.
Not so, however Both mental and
physical qualifications, at least not be-
low the average. and often above, de-
pending upon the arm of the service in
need of men, are required.
A case in point is the recruiting now
going on in New York tor the two
new artillery regiments. The Times
remarks that only fifteen men were
enlisted during the past week out of
hundreds who have applied About
100 men applied Saturday, but only
eight were taken. Of these, one had
served in the army before, two were
dry goods clerks, two laborers, one a
teamster, one an electrician and one a
plumber. One of the essential quail
fications for service in the artillery is

AS TO ATTORNEY GENERAL KucKEK.

AS TO ATTORNEY GENERAL FUCKER.
Attorney General Fuckers position
in relation to the corporations which
he compels TO pay a second time their
initial license tax, is not likely TO hold
water in court of law il any cor
poration so mulcted prefers the annoy
ance. trouble and expense of testing
the matter in preference to paying
small sum over again ard thereby
ending all contention.
1t is a fact, we believe, that for
twenty years or more the Secretary of
State has acted as either the agent
of the State. or State Auditor, and re-
ceiyed these corporation license taxes,
giving a receipt therefor. They have
been paid in no other way. This is
precedent so long and we'll established
that it will have great weight with any
court or jury in the country. Why is
recourse not had in another way, say
on some ones bond, for the recovery

be defective or inadequate, does it fol-
low that General Rueker must jump
on the innocents who had complied
with all the rules laid down for the
past twenty years? General Rucker
says: IF these corporations elect to
pay this money to another officer who
is not authorized to receive it, and
who has given no bond to account for
it, and who actually does not pay it to
the State, it seems to me that they
have no right to complain when called
on to make good the deficiency" True,
the law says these taxes shall be paid
to the Auditor of the State. But it is
also true that the Secretary of State
has been entrusted with the receipt of
these taxes for a score of years, so that
it is not true that the State. through
its several administrations, has given
them (the corporations) every oppor-
tunity to make a correct payment"
General Rucker to the contrary.
General Fuckers letter appears in
another column of this issue, care

flaws besides those pointed out.

PATRIOTISM VS.. LOYALTY.

Senator Proctor arrived in Washing
sojourn in Cuba He returned via Key
West. and had an opportunity of learn
ing the temper of our brethren in the
South upon the impending crisis He
is reported as expressing agreeable
surprise at the general manifestations
of loyalty among Southerners. Sem
ator, loyalty is not the proper word in
that connection. Patriotism is the
word to use. The people of the South,
and the people of the West and North,
are as one man when it comes to hold
ing up "Oid Glory and resenting a
wrong done by a foreign enemy. The
only difference in the sections is that
the blood coursing through the veins of
the people south of us may be little
warmer than it is iii those north CT
us. and as consequence their pa
triotic impulses come to the surface
quicker, and are therefore more notice
able. But, all the same. when it comes
to toeing the scratch, all the people of
all the sections will be there on time.
Meanwhile. we trust Senator Proctor
and those who pattern after him, will
eschew the word loyalty" 1t may be
applicable in monarchy, or in speak
ing of the people of province of some
monarchy or empire, but not in these
United States. under existing condi-

O.HYGGINS. or CHILE

A correspondent who has noticed
news item to the effect that among the
warships possibly available for pur-
chase by the United States was the
Chilean bat.iechip O'Higgins, writes
to know how ii happens that Chilean
ship should have a good old Irish
name.
Bernardo O'Eiggins was the son of
Ambrosio O'Higgins, Marquis Of Os-
orno, who went to South America a
poor Irishman. intending TO become
priest. but who dotted his ministerial
robes for the uniform of a soldier, and
rose to be President of Chile, while the
country was still under Spanish rule,
and also Viceroy of Peru. When the
Chilean insurgents declared the indie
pendence of their country, in 1910. his
son raised a regiment, was made the
commander of the army, and when in
dependence was achieved was made
dictator, a position which he resigned
in 1923. His name in Chile is synon-
omous with bravery and heroism He
died in Peru, in 1876, aged sixtysix
years.
