ARMY DESERTIONS RI
A SERIOUS PROBLEM
Twenty Per Cent in Depart
ment of California.
GEN. MACARTHUR'S COMMENT
Menace to Stability of Institutions
Through Corrupting Effect Upon
Military Ideals of the People.

Nearly 20 per cent of the men sta
toned in the Department of California
deserted in the year ended June 30. In
twelve months 914 men left the service
without leave.
This is the disproportionate number
of assertions announced by Maj. Gen.
Arthur Macarthur, commanding the de-
partment. in his annual report just sub
mitted to the War Department.
In addition to the desertions OF men
in the permanent garrisons under Cen
eral Macarthur 4sO recruits, easuals, and
members Of regiments passing through
the department deserted. This brings
the total W to .344
General Macarthur is at a loss to ex-
plain the dissatisfaction in the army
Difficult to Deal With.
IF the depressing figures could be at
tributed to American methods they
WOULD certainly justify the deepest So
l'citude on the part of all concerned in
me military administration OF the
nation" says General Macarthur "As a
matter of fact. however, the American
soldier is so well provided with material
necessities and his personal rights are
so carefully safeguarded in ali matters
CT discipline that a conclusion arises in
the minds of all experienced inyesti-
gators that desertion. to a large extent
IS Incidental to human nature rather
than to an expression OF specific defects
in a military system. and as such is not

punitive control
A Necessary Evil.
I'm the light of past experience and
of present conditions il seems apparent
that the United States. as a nation
must accept desertion as a necessary
evil unless enlightened public opinion
can be induced 10 realize that it is not
only inimical as II affects the army as
a separate organization. but in remote
consequences is a menace TO the sta
bility OF our institutions, through its
corrupting effect upon the military
ideals of the population that must fur
nish the improvised troops. upon which
the republic must always rely in time
OF war.
The practical value of this view may
be determined with considerable preeis-
ion by anyone who will take the trouble
to inquire into the aspects of desertior
in the Union and Confederate armies
during the great civil war OF 1S61-5.
THE subject is we'll ealcr ated 20 at
tract the attention and intelligent con-
sideration of such citizens as are con-
cerned about the future of our military
establishment"

OFFICIAL CITY PAPER.
A VOICE FROM THE SOUTH.

Commenting editorially upon the
passing of such great men as Maloney
and Stevenson from Arapaho county
politics, Bunting of the Grand juno
tion Sentinel observes 1T is strange
how things change" +" Exactly what
we thought once upon a time when
the Sentinel came out i'll September,
1900. with a three column cut and
full page write-up of the Hon. @. 5.
Thomas for United States Senator.
and then in early January with like
etfusion for Hon. T. NJ Patterson.
The first was done in frantic effort
to secure the governor S support or in
fiuence with the then secretary of
state, Elmer f. Beckwith. that the
columns of the Sentinel might be
favored with the constitutional
amendment publication. after the Sc
curing of which the outfit was ready
for new deal, but Dave Mills did not
appoint Mr.. Lee state measurer of
printing. We also observe ''how
things change" and marvel that ''it
is strange that our friend Bunting
did not beat the Star into the Repub-
lican ranks.
The above is from the Durango
Democrat, and from the pen of Thorn
as II. Tully. Having been private
secretary to Governor Thomas and
later deputy state treasurer through
Governor Thomas influence, Mr.. Tul-
lv no doubt considers himself that
gentleman's official mouth piece for
all time to come.
Unlike Mr.. Tully, The Sentinel
never considered support of Charlie
Thomas a necessary test of Democratic
character. This paper did espouse the
Thomas cause SO long ms there was a
chance of his election. When it be-
came plain that he could not hold the
Democratic strength in the legislature
nor the populists and silver republi-
cans. The Sentinel supported a man
who could do so. and whom we be-
leved as worthy the honor as Mr..
The daily sentinel., 1903-07-23


The new oracle of democracy of the
western slope is Tommy Tully. He
is telling us each dav, what great
fellow he was when in Denver. from
the reflected glory, of those surround
ing him. Tom is great fellow. in
his own Imagination and not half
bad fellow in the esteem of others.
He affects patronizing sort of way,
while those who feel its effects simply
smile at the pretentions of the man.
We are glad to have Tom in charge of
the Durango Democrat and anticipate
some good reading from his point of
view. He handed few cold punches
to The Sentinel a few days ago, but
in due time, we shall try to place the
matter in its right light. If we are
good we hope to inspire some grace
with the new great man in politics
democratic on the western SLOPE, and
eventually to hone that we may look
up to see where he sits.

welfare. Ii admires the high char
acter and ability of Governor Thomas
in as full a measure as Mr.. Tulley or
anybody else, and hopes conditions
may yet arise by which his splendid
abilities may find their natural arena
in the United States senate chamber !;
but first and foremost the veal of the
party and not the ambition of the in
dividual must be taken into consider
