Military Training in Schools

The Republican,, from time to time, prints a
great many contributions in which its views are
not at all represented. This morning there appears
a protest from correspondent against the suS-
seston of Adjutant General Harris for compulsory
military instruction in the schools After statfnt'

exercise, military instruction would undoubtedly
lie valuable, will confine our REMARKS to the
various objections of the correspondent that such
instruction is unnecessary for the reason that III

jorty believed that a man who could
not earn that much would be worse
than no agent at all. 1t was in the
course of the discussion of the salary
of the agent that the matter of adver-
Using for bids came up at the instance
of President Sims who said that he
believed that the state was spending
entirely too much money for advertls-
ing which nobody reads and from
which no benefit is derived except by
the newspapers publishing such adver-
tisements. The views of the president
on this subject seemed to represent
those of a majority of the committee
At the conclusion of the hearing 1t was
evident that the bill would ultimately
pass the senate and it is believed that
it will find majority in the house.
Another interesting matter was de-
veloped in the committee of the whole
in an unexpected way. 1t was during
the consideration of bill to permit the
employment of an assistant clerk OF the
board of supervisors in counties OF the
fourth class. 1t may not be generally
known, but it is fact that there are
as many classes of counties in Arizona
as there are counties. 1t was appar-
entity of little interest outside of any
county what the people of that county
might want and are willing to pay for.

| President Sims pointed out the reign
| of extravaganza which such sltua-
tion was ushering in: the encourage
ment of log-rolling and the general IN
crease of county expenses which as
| Senator Stapley had previously stated
constituted the great burden upon the
| state; it was not the state expenses
! which made the taxpayers groan, bu
the expenses of county government.

is peace in Europe by September 1.
Lloyds' have a reputation of being
the most accurate of, gamblers. For
two centuries they have taken the
chances for the world-and won.
Their Offices in every part of the
globe keep them in close touch with
the absolute conditions in every
country. Lloyds' do not guess. With
the data of the centuries before them
they apply the principle of the law of
average and stake their money. Year
in and year out their system is as
sure as banking roulette.
Lloyds' know whether there is a
bread famine in Vienna; whether
Germany is starving; how many men
the Kaiser can put in the field this
spring and whether England will be
ready to fight in May or never. Know
ing all this they say even money
there's peace in July and to 1 the
war Is over by September 1.

PROMISES UNKEpT.

The American public has seldom
checked up the pledges made by can
didates for public Offices. In every
campaign the platform states the can
didate will do such and such things.
Trusts will be busted Immediately
after election, that old H. c. of L.
will be dealt such a severe blow that
everyone can live in comparative
comfort without a raise in salary,
public service corporations will be
whipped into humility at the feet OF
the public, the regime OF the party
will be the best and most upright
ever" and the like.
When do these promises take ef-
feet? AS a matter of fact, most of
those so readily made are impossible
of fulfillment. The public is in re-
cent years taking some notice of men
and promises, parties and platforms.
The voters are demanding service as
much as in the power of a public
servants office and no more. A pres
idential election is slowly appearing
on the horizon of national politics.
There will be many questions to be
judged and many promises made. 1t
is time to be considering what presi-
what some candidate for the honor
says he will do Just as soon as he has
taken the inaugural oath

The Open Column
Some Debating Subjects.

Editor The Missourian: n:-Now that
the open season for debaters is again
approaching, l begin TO wonder, as 1
have often wondered before, why de-
batting teams bore US with so much
wrangling over abstruse economic
and political questions. How much
more interesting it would be, if they
chose subjects that affect more nearly
our daily lives, that have more heart
interest" as it were. AS examples
of what l mean, l suggest the follow
ing. 1 feel sure that any one of your
readers could offer number of others
equally suitable.
Resolved, that three pedestrians
walking abreast on a five-foot side
walk have the right of way, and any
person meeting them has the privi-
lege of taking to the street.
Resolved, that the abstraction of in
candescent lamps from the halls,
class-rooms, or lavatories of the Uni
versity does not constitute theft.
Resolved, that no perfect lady
should thank, or otherwise take cog
nizance of, person of opposite sex
who opens door for her, unless said
person has been formally presented.
Resolved, that vigorous competition
among the gentler sex for such dis
tinctions as Savitar Queen, Ad Circus
Queen, ETC., especially when conduct
ed by means of handbills, posters, and
paid newspaper advertisements, fos-
ters the finest spirit of American
womanhood, and is the best possible
advertisement for the University.
