Making Officers

JULIUS KAHN, congressman from
= California. and dominant figure on
the house committee OF military affairs,
is advocating the selection OF commits
stoned officers of the national guard by
examination, conducted by the general
staff of the army. instead Of election by
the enlisted men. as at present.
No doubt this will meet with de-
termined opposition by the members OF
the national guard as curtailing their
privileges. But real military men win
readily agree with Congressman Kahn.
Personal likes and dislikcs play much too
important a part in the selection OF COM
pany officers in the national guard. and
this 10 responsible for the admitted in
competency of the militia's line officers.
To reach = high standard OF military
efficiency. the national guard must be
well differed This can only be brought
about by selecting those officers upon
merit alone.

m HEY say they can't come back"
1 Joseph Weldon Bailey. former
United States senator from Texas. and
who retired from office after Sensa-
,ional investigation by the Texas legis-
lature. which proved to the satisfaction
OF many OF his true and tried followers.
that he had been receiving large sums
OF money from the WatersPierce oil
company, thinks he can.
He has finally announced his oandi-
daey for the United States senate in the
coming elections.
The result will be attcntively watched
everywhere. for Joe Bailey's reputation
is national one. AS an orator and an
authority on international law, he ranks
as one of the greatest.
Perhaps Bailey has been taught the
lesson that no man can serve two mas
tiers and serve each well. II so. he may
render inestimable service TO his country
