hope, in the country also. A
little dragging at this time of
year will put the roads in good
shape for travel until late in the
fall and the dragging should be
done after every storm 80 as to
have the roads in the best pos
sible condition for winter. The

The democrats of Idaho county

The democrats of Idaho county
need not make any apology to
anyone for the legislative ticket
they have placed in the field.
The personnel, N. B. Pettibone,
of Sites, for senator; John T.
Quinlan Of Kooskia, and w. B.
Hussman, of Cottonwood, for
representatives, stand above re-
proach. Each one is a represent
alive and successful business man
of his respective community who
has made good with his private
affairs, and all have been more
or less identified with the up
building of Idaho county, for a
good many years. Ask men of
their localities what they know
about them, and they will say,
there are none better. Such men
are needed-they are the salt of
t h e earth. ferdinand Enter

Several good musicians have

few months and there should be
little trouble in organizing both
band and orchestra. A leader
can be easily secured or one of
the local men can act as instruct

out a band and music is needed
for every public occasion. Now
boys, get busy. You will find
plenty of people behind you when
you get started.

What is the reason that the
young people of Cottonwood can
not organize a good vocal chorus
this fall. There are enough
young ladies and gentlemen here
who possess good voices to con-

The public will appreciate their
efforts and the young folks are
sure to be benefited by the asso-
citation. Why not organize.

Ammunition for Mexico

The action of the United States few days ago in releasing the Carranzistas a large amount ammunition for by detachment of Mexican regulars who it presumed only going operate with the American force pursuit Villa but have not yet done suggests possibilities.
 The Mexican consul at Douglas where the transfer of the ammunition took place naturally pleased. Tt proves he said that the American government has confidence in the intention of the Mexican gov ernment.' But, unfortunately there a good many Americans who do share this confidence. They regard the alliance between Washington and Quere- taro one of very dubious character and they der whether situation arise in which this ammunition will not be used against troops.

The National Guard

The interest of Hon. Carl Hayden in the national guard of which he so long active and efficient member is manifested in his amencment to the Hay bill providing for in the guard is called into service. That would make a national provision of what is already under the law in this state, pro- vision. It would bring the guard also into closer ations with the regular army, something that has been discouraged and opposed by element of the regular army from the beginning. This opposition took form in the so-caled Continental Army" plan which collapsed with the resignation of Secretary of War Garrison.
 The secretary himself may have had designs against the national guard but his plan if pro- posed seized upon by regular army officers that would throttle the guard most effectually.
Arizona republican., 1916-03-24

That the "Continenta Army plan not feasible must have been apparent. That MT. Garrison deceived or that he failed to grasp the meaning and effect of the plan is quite likely for the president him self had been at the beginning advocate it.
 It is evident that unless we adopt the Swiss plan of compulsory military training and service and it is quite unlikely that we shall do until we have had war in which shall be disastrousy beaten we must rely upon the national guard as reserve. It be popularized and brought up to a much greater strength than it must be brought up to a state of much greater efficiency If we were to have suddenly brought upon US now there only two which we could look for forces: would be the national guard other would be the remnant of the men who took part in the Spanish American war But that war was fought nearly two decades ago and a majority of the young men who service then unfit for vice W. Aside from what remains of Spanish American force and the national guard popu- laton is absolutely untrained and unfit for war, cepting, of course that part of has since come from foreign countries, chiefly from Germany
 We should not, however fall under the delusion that complete Liberalization of national guard would create efficient No law providing liberalization could insure the necessary mem bership of the national guard. That is something that could be effected only by local encouragement of the guard and the guard in few places country and especiay-not in Arizona has such encour- agement. In of the counties there is no guard Even in some of the larger towns the of them believe, there is military organization We have been told that the organization in Phoenix the capital is maintained with great difficulty Business and professional take little interest in it. though it may be said to the great credit Tucson that both business and the professions well repre- sented in it's ranks
 The young who have joined the guard de- serve the encouragement and the thanks of their munities and encouragement should take the form of cooperation by who think that they have time for this thing. They should under stand that when it the most serious and important business in the land that it vershadows and obscures commerce and the professions
