Now that war is at hand, and has
come, as it usually does. with compare
tive suddenness, the great Importance of
the organized militia of the states is i'm
pressed upon the people.
In all probability Company Is. Of the
18th Regiment Missouri State Militia, with
headquarters at Mound City, IN COM
mand of f. f. King, will be called out IN
a few days to shoulder Their guns and
march to the front in defense of thel-
country. M,und City as well as Holt
county has always been proud of this
company, and it was but fitting that her
! citizens should give them grand send
off, which was done Oh Tuesday evening
of this week in the form of grand
banquet.
Slnce the talk of war has become so
general. Company B has become a much
more important factor in the county
than It WAS before, and the splendidly
drilled body of young men are the Oh
served OF all observers. Company b rates
as among the best, and in all the state
encsmpments has been in line IN the
first place III all matters military.
Recruiting for this company has been
going steadily or, two recruiting stations

even though baby eyes, for it is almost
as long as that since the i00-day men
were called out as final demonstration
of the ability Of the North to swell ITS
forces if the war should be prolonged.
The new generation that has grown up
since Lees surrender may have become
ever SO familiar with the sight Of moving
bodies OF militia, or well equipped regu-
lars; they may have seen thousands OF
the veterans of the Grand Army moving

but never before did they see the mill

take their degrees as veterans amid fly

A SPLENDID APPOINTMENT.

When the office of governor of Ari- zona became vacant through the ap- pointment of Governor McCord as col onel of the Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma regiment of volunteers, President Mckinley appointed to that important position the Hon. N Oakes Murphy. A more fit appointment could not have been made and none that would have given greater satis- faction in the territory.
 N. O. Murphy is not a new or un- tried man. He is pioneer in Arizona, a man who has grown to manhood in the territory, who has 1abOred for it's good for many years, at his own cost and without wearying. In season and out of season, in diversity and in pros perity, through good report and through evil report, he has ever stood up for Arizona. The first man to Washington when danger threatened, when trickery was in the air and when the prosperity of the territory was threatened, and the last to leave, Mir. Murphy has rendered service for Ari- zona that no man can compute.
 He has served the territory as gov tIHOT DelOIt anu OuCo as u0leSdu0 tO congress, and this new honor is there fore not awarded in the way of an ex- pertinent
 The writer has the honor and the pleasure of an intimate acquaintance with Governor Murphy. He has learned to admire and to appreciate his broad-gauge, progressive, and, if need be, aggressive policy. Oakes Murphy is honest, just and upright and every inch man. Pity all political appoint ments cannot go to men as worthy We hope to see justice dealt out to Arizona by the next congress, by the passage of an enabling act admitting it into the Union as a state, and that Governor N. Oakes Murphy may be elected it's senator for the long term Fresno Expositor

THE TIME TO ADVERTISE.

The season is waning and the citi- zens of Phoenix haven't spent cent in advertising this favored section o! country in the east. The live people of Florida and Georgia and Colorado and California are forever advertising
 their health and pleasure resorts. Phoenix people talk about advertising but dc not advertise. When will they awake to the necessity of letting the
 rich people of the east and middle
 west know of the advantages of our
 winter climate? The present oppor-
 tunity is good one. There is no time
 to be lost. When Porto Rico gets
 properly under the American flag you
 will see her advantages as a health resort published to the world. Unless
 Arizona gets move on" very soon the opportunity for doing effective advertising this winter will have passed.
