The citizens Of Boise were very
hospitable to the guardsmen. For
one night the moving picture
theaters were opened to them free,
and on another, the natatorium.
On the evening of July IA the
Boise commercial club entertained
the officers. The governor re-
ceived the officers at his home one
evening and extended to the
national guard his good will and
support. In return the popular
regimental band of Standpoint
entertained the citizens with con-
certs, and evening parades were
given to which all were invited.
Including Adjutant General
Crow, exactly 500 men and officers
attended the encampment. The
regiment, commanded by Col.

with ten companies besides the
regimental band and hospital
corps, their tents pitched IN rows

funds, companies were limited to
38 men each.
Regular army instructors were

/
fantry, National Guard of Idaho,
on the parade grounds of old Fort
Boise, July 8-l6, was, in the
opinion OF all in position to
judge, one of the most successful
the regiment has had. A strenuous
program of drill, war problems,
and range practice prepared by
Lieut.. Max B. CARRIER, u. S. A.,
was carried out as planned, besides
leaving time for several battalion
and regimental parades and re-
views and two marches into the
city of Boise, the first to receive
the Liberty bell, July IL, the
second as an exhibition to the
citizens of the capital.
The forenoons were taken up
with physical drill, policing the
camp, camp sanitation, close and
extended order drill, sabre drill,
preparation for range practice and,
the last few days, battalion and
regimental problems in which the
troops were taken into the nearby
hills and maneuvered against an
imaginary enemy, situations being
assumed and commanders being
given an opportunity to show how
they would handle their men in
battle. The afternoons and even
ings were occupied with rife
practice in the prescribed course,
parades, reviews, lectures on mill
tary subjects, and regimental band
concerts.
Every man present, not already
qualified, is said to have been put
through the prescribed course in
rifle practice. Lieut.. CARRIER as
range officer was assisted by Lieu
tenants Shadduck, Lundberg,
Krengel aud Prater at the firing
point and by Capt. w. X. Cupp
and Lieut.. X. M. Culp in charge
/, of the targets.
Not the least important part OF
the scheme of instruction were the
lectures. Notable among these
were: Military Law and Procedure,
! and International Law, by Captain
E. G. Davis, U. S. A., retired;
Military Courtesy. Saluting and
Discipline by Lieutenant Colonel
T. A. Mccall, and Inf, N. G. l.
Marching and Care of the Feet,
and Camp and Personal Hygiene,
Major c. S. Moody, N. G. l.; Es,
prit de Corps, Col. VIII. Edel-
blute, Commader and Inf, N. G
l.; Fire Direction. Discipline and
Control, Lieut.. CARRIER, U. S. A.
All the lectures appealed to the
best intelligence of the officers anc
men, seeking to impress then
with the true sense of their duty
to conduct themselves as individ
uals in such manner that as part,
of an organization they might con
tribute to the success and growth
of the organization, and the en-
hancement of the respect and sup
port it commands throughout th'
state and the nation.
The sermon, July II, by Chap
lain Willsie Martin of the regi
meat, was largely attended. II,
spoke on the question '1s it wortl
while to be an American, and If so
what kind of an American is wortl
while7" He decried cosmopolitan
ism and upheld nationalism saying
in part:
"a tree has its roots somewhere
Only parasite does not. Me-
reap from sowing a definite field
A man has rights as citizen be
cause somewhere he is a citizen
A mans spirit of brotherhood i
more intense when there are SOM
particular men whom he loves, an,
his reverence for all women i

THE SUNS THIRTY-THIRD
BIRTHDAY

With this issue of The Coconino
Sun it starts out on it's Bath year. 1t
was the champion" originally, but
has passed through strenuous life in
the pioneer days of the country when
names were not so permanent as they
are now. We have every reason to
be pleased with the record we have
made with The Sun since 1908 and
rather proud Of the support it has re-
ceived from the people generally.
The Sun is not personal organ,
we have tried to make it a general
Orchestra" playing for the general
benefit of Flagstaff, Coconino County
and Northern Arizona.
We have no personal quarrels and
believe that the public generally pre-
fer boosting" to knocking" al
though it is really much easier to
KNOCK" 1t is easy to stir up trouble
and cause a row, but peaceful set
Element of private troubles makes for
the betterment of the community. A
row is hard to stop when once strated
which is evidence that our conten-
ton is right; start boost and forget
the little annoyances.
Think of Flagstaff as it was eight
or ten years ago and then look al
Flagstaff, the progressive, prosperous
live little city that it is today with a
splendid growing future before it
The Sun can not but help feeling that
it had good sized share in bringing
about the condition, aside from the
natural growth because of local con.
ditions.
Flagstaff has only started to grow
The next few years will prove oul
contention.
The Coconino sun., 1915-11-19
EVERY KNOCK A BOOST

The Sun is in receipt of an annony-
nous letter that bristles with critis-
cisms against the conduct of the city
in all departments and also includes
the postoilice in the arraignment. The
letter concludes with the urgent re-
quest for The Sun to '1ambaste 'em
all severally and in detail-I'll help
you"
While it isn't usual to sign an "an-
nonymous" letter, we have been Won
dering who the writer was so that in
case we got in bad, we would know
where to go for help. Anonymous
help in an emergency is shadowy
backing, but in any event we realize
that this year has ben a most trying
one for the city authorities in more
ways than one. The city councilmen
get the fat salary of nothing but
abuse" for their work-they don't
please everybody. The present city
council is entitled to more criticism
than any other city council Flagstaff
ever had-because they have done
more, started more improvements and
we hope will complete them. Criti-
cism comes to those who do things
good, bad or indifferent, not to those
who can do nothing and wouldn't if
they could.
The city has been ripped up from
end to end during the greater part of
the summer, with streets Uttered with
building material. 1t may have been
very annoying to the visitor who
spent few days here, but to the re-
sident who lives here with his heart
and pocketbook, it was a most graft
flying scene. 1t spelled hope, industry,
enterprise, growth and material pros
perity. Flagstaff is passing through
a trying stage of its development and
while The Sun takes healthy slam
at some things now and then-we are
for the fellows that do things; they
open up the way for succeeding fell
lows to do more and better things in
succeeding years.
Even at that we guess anonymous
meant well but hasn't seen all sides
of the question

MANS INHUMANITY TO MAN

1t has been we'll said, over and over,
that love is the greatest thing in the
world--or heaven, or heavens. As one
writer put it, Therefore come what
may, hold fast to love. Though men
should rend your heart let them not
embitter or harden it. We win by
tenderness; we conquer by forgive
ness" We don't practice that sort Of
- nI'h rl;sl msa rend our
hearts we, in turn, seek to rend theirs.
If we are hurt, we desire to hurt him
who Injuries us. We did that when
our fame-eyed dogs bayed the primal
moon-and we do it still.
But the new way is the better way.
To win by tenderness and conquer by
forgiveness is to walk in the ways Of
that One who promulgated the faith
The Coconino sun., 1915-11-19

"As a result of the war, we have
become great creditor nation says
the Portland (Oregon) Journal, a. De-
mocratic newspaper. The usual prac-
tise is to boast of our commercial
statues and assume that it is a
healthy, normal condition upon which
confidence can be placed. The admis-
sion that the war made us q creditor
nation carries with it the practical adj
mission that the close of the war will
end our advantage and, short time
make us a debtor. That is exactly
what will happen unless we enact a
tariff law that will have the same
effect as the war in shutting out i'm
portations.

Representative Pou of North Ca

Representative Pou of North Caro-
lima, ranking member of the House
committee on rules, referring to con-
ference with the President, says; 81
told the President that it was signifi-
cant that two living former Presidents
and the President, while they differed
on many subjects, were together on
the question of national prepared
ness" And yet the Democrats having
been driven to the espousal of pre-
paredness by Republican criticism, are
now trying to make it a national
issue.

would, do that, happiness would be-
come universal. But, apparently, we
prefer bitterness of spirit, corroding
misery, the hateful satisfaction Of re-
venge. We are very wrong, very
blind. With happiness pleading with
us each day we turn our backs and
refuse her gentle Offices. We suffer,
but we hug our sufferings close and
will not let them go. And the pity of
it all is that we know and realize what
we are doing.-Globe Record.

Or total imports from October 3,
1918, to July /, 1914, were $685.
1892. The total amount of revenue
collected from duties on these imports
were 1929 ,461 ,907. Republican pro-
tective rates of 1909 applied to this
volume of imports would have collect
ed and put in the treasury $330,S15,-

That money in hand right now would

question of national defence.
