Says Guards Should Be
Made Part Of Army

A plan in line with President
Wilson'S "citizen soldiery' was
submitted here today, says a dis
patch from Chicago, by Lieuten-
ant Colonel Charles d. Davis, at
the meeting of the Illinois Nat
ional Guard and Naval Reserve
association.
Under the proposed plan militia
regiments would be mustered out
of the state service and into the
federal, but would retain their
state designations. Thus the
first infantry of Chicago would
become the First illinois Infan-
try, u. S. A.
The present community system
of recruiting for these regiments
would continue as at present.

Too Many Laws

This nation as whole, and
almost every state in it-Arizona
not excepted suffers from too
much law making. Senator
Root recently told the American
Bar Association that in five
years, from 1909 to 1913 sini
elusive, congress and state 4eg-
islatures passed 62,014 laws.
No one knows how many thous-
ands of laws were in force be.
fore 1909, but the 62,014 new
ones repealed many Of those
previously in force, and amended
many more, with no end of re-
sulting confusion. Relatively
few of the laws are vicious
enough to work direct harm,
but hundreds of them are harm
full indirectly, for they are un-
necessary, inconsistent and i'm
possible to enforce.

The Land of Opportunity

On the day before Christmas
n Detroit fifty o t the city's
wealthy business men, former
newsboys, put aside their re-
sponsibilities and their dignity
and sold newspapers for charity.
Nothing else, probably, could
show in a more striking way the
chances for advancement that
this country offers to those who
possess pluck and ability. Not
Detroit alone, but in every large
American city there are numbers
of successful business and pro-
fessional men,. some of them mil
lionaires, who got their start in
life by selling newspapers. Hor-
alto Alger has been indefatigable
in writing books for boys with
this very theme. or similar one
and his efforts in fiction have
been outdone by the careers of
men who are today high up in
the world. Albuquerque Citizen
The Snowflake herald., 1915-01-01

had had the same number of
men and the same equipment
that Gen. Lee had; and suppose
Gen. Lee had had the same num-
Der of men and the same equip
ment that Gen. Grant had.
What do you think would have
been the result? Would Gen.
Grant have stood as long as
Gen. Lee did?''
The old soldier, in his shrill,
piping voice, answered: H,
no! He would not have stood a
month; no, not a week, not a
day."
So far the European war has
not developed a Grant, Lee or
Jackson, and it is safe to vent
ure the opinion that it will not
do SO. .-Ex.

Says Navajo's Elk
Are in Fine Condition

Riley Gardner, of Lakeside,
deputy game warden, and also
patrolman, was a caller at the
HERALD office Monday. Mr..
Gardner was appointed patrol
man some time ago by State
Game Warden Willard, and his
district covers the most of the
country east of Chevalon, his
duties being to see that the elk
of this county are not molested.
The other patrolman- there were
only two appointed-is Thomas
Eakin of Flagstaff and his dis
trict is west Of Chevalon. Since
Mr.. Gardner has been on duty
he has seen thirty-one elk and
found one that had died from
natural causes. He says they
are fat and sleek and doing fine.
The patrolmen were put on by
reason of the reported slaughter
ing of the animals by Indians.
The original herd was turned
loose in this county some year
and a half ago and numbered over
eighty, and besides those which
were killed for their meat and
hides, several died from natural
causes.

Think This Over

When a newspaper gives you
a lot of free advertising in order
to boom some concert or enter
tainment in which you are inter-
ested, keep track of the lines
that are printed week by week
and multiply that number by the
regular advertising rates of the
paper. Compare the results with
the actual money value of any
favor that you get from any
other business concern. Then
take into consideration that ad-
vertising and circulation are the
only two things that a news
paper has to sell. Now, in these
days of higher prices, how much
do you think it ought to give
away?-Ex.

Carefully kept records show
that the toll of life and limb ex-
acted by. sports in America is
declining year by year. Of the
millions of -blooded American
men and boys who have gone
into the woods with rifle or shot
gun, played the great national
game of baseball, or put their
muscles to the strenuous tests of
football, only 159 have met death
this year. The injuries that the
tabulators classed as serious total
4.O8O, and of this numbered fully
half of those injured have entire

pie in Cimarron, N. NJ, and
made a pet of it. He afterwards
moved to Oklahoma, taking the
animal with him. The bird es-
capped from it's cage and flew
back to his old home, more than
1000 miles, making the trip in
less than three days.

David Lake, proprietor of a
sawmill at Pleasantville, N. j.,
had to choose between having a
saw rip his body in two or cut off
his right arm. He let his arm
go. His coat sleeve caught. His
body was dragged toward the
big saw. To save his life he de-
liberately turned his arm to the
saw and gained his freedom as
the big teeth cut their way
through flesh and bone.

THE PASSING OF
THE ARIZONA SALOON


Yesterday marked the passing
of the licensed saloon in Arizo-
ma. The old timer who was want
to creep up to the bar for his
mornings morning" will have
to resort to some other source
from which to get an "eye
opener. +" Arizona, in it's liquor
selling days, had propably more
"euphonius" named saloons than
'31y state of the union. A writer
says:
Arizona has contributed much
to the language of the nation.
New conditions in the southwest
led to the coming of many words
and phrases, some derived from
the Spanish, some from Indian
dialects and some from highly
stimulated Anglo-Saxon imagi-
nation. There is something in
the dry, clear air of the south
west that inspires picturesque
ness, luridness and originality
of language. In no way was
this originality so strikingly dis
played as in the naming of sa-
looms. Anyone who supposes
that the names given saloons in
popular western fiction are
wholly invented by penny-a-
liners need only stroll through
few Arizona mining camps to
be convinced that the magma
ton of the fictioneers is all too
feeble. /"
There were Two Buckets Of
Blood" saloons, one at Jerome
and the other at Pearce. The
latter is to be converted into
moving picture show. Then, at
one time, there was THE Three
Buckets of Blood at the For
tuna mine in Yuma county.
The ''Hoofs and Horn" was in
the dive district Of Prescott but
was known from one end of the
state to the other because of the
many stirring events that have
taken place within it's walls.
1t was only few years ago that
Dick Bennett, a wealthy cattle
man, rode his pony in at the
front door, fired a few bullets
carelessly into the glassware
and ordered everybody to line
up at the bar and drink with
him. Someone behind a whiskey
barrel plugged Bennett before
the first drink was served. To-
day there is a silver dollar, cut
in the shape of a star, nailed to
the floor where Bennett fell.
In Pioneer days Prescott was
the capital of Arizona, and the
Sazarac saloon was the real
capitol. No one ever thought
of looking for a territorial offi-
Ger in the official capitol, on
Gurley street, before going
through the Sazarac. How the
Sazarac got it's name, or what
the name meant, is one OF the
unsolved mysteries.
Among the noted saloons OF
Phoenix were the Palace, the
20. T." and the Bank Ex-
change" The Palace" had a
sign outside which read: The
Only Second Class Saloon in the
Territory" What the inscrip-
ton meant no one seems to
know, as it was first class"
place.
Came more of the noted pio-
neer resorts were: The Gold
Coin" at Globe, Midway" and
the Eel Moro" at Clifton, The
Maze" at Bisbee, the Pony at
Tombstone, the Ruby at Yu-
ma, the tx 10 U 81 at Flag
staff, the ''Damphino" at Crown
King. all of which made his
tory" as well as money, in the
palmy days.

COMPARISON OF
LOSSES IN WARS

1t is very difficult at this time
to arrive at even an approximate
idea of what the losses in the
/ present European war have been.
The armies are so stupendous,
the battle lines are so long, the
work of the censor so rigor-
ously done, and the fighting is
upon a scale of such magnitude,
that we are left to guess and
conjecture.
1t may prove interesting and
instructive to make some COM
parsons with the casualties of
the war between the states.
The fact is recognized, of course,
that there can be no compari-
son justly made so far as num-
bers are concerned, but percent
ages and proportions can be
roughly outlined which will
prove instructive.
In an address delivered re-
Gently in Richmond, Va, by
Hon. George L. Christian. at
one time judge of one the courts
of Virginia, and four years ago
president of the Bar Association
of Virginia, he presented some
figures which cannot fail to be of
interest.
The number of trained soldiers
now engaged in the European
war is as great as the entire
white population of all the south
ern states, and all the troops en-
rolled by the south in four years
war of 1861-65 did not number
half as many as those of either
of tie great armies now strug
Cling in deadly, sickening COM
bat in Europe.
Judge Christian said the battle
| OF Spottsylvania Court House
was the "bloodiest battle in the
book of time" and it might be
that some think he should
add the qualifying words, up
to this time;;" but he said he
was prepared to affirm that he
did not believe the world had
ever witnessed, or would ever
witness, such a struggle as that
of May IL, 1864, in the bloody
angle" He did not believe, Ell
ther, that more dead and wound
ed ever covered the same space
than fell in that fearful combat.
He spoke as one who was there
and fell fearfully mangled.
He called attention to a recent
report of Sir John French, COM
mander of the British army, that
out of about 100000 men en-
gagged in battle for three weeks
the killed and wounded did not
reach $4,000.
Gen. Dodge Of the Federal
army is authority for the state
ment that Gen. Grant in 1864,
out of an army of 140, 900. lost
in killed, wounded and missing
in three weeks 81, 500 men, and
when he reached Petersburg he
had lost as maay men as Gen.
eral Lee had in his army at the
beginning of the campaign.
More lives will be sacrificed
perhaps have already been sac
rifced-in the present war in
Europe than were lost during
the entire war between t h e
states, but, considering the num-
bers engaged, the campaign of
1864, with U. S. Grant leading
one army and Robert E. Lee the
other, stands yet without parallel
in history.
The highest military authori-
ties assert that the campaign of
Robert E. Lee of that year was
the greatest achievement of mill
tary science and stragetic skill
the world ever saw, and it has
seen nothing to surpass it since.
