 Secretary Baker favors giving all the state troops a chance for the training to be acquired on the patrol line. Today's orders were construed by some officials as preliminary to the withdrawal of General Pershing's regulars from Mexico. Officers of the general staff insisted, however, that the relief of the guardsmen re- suited principally from the improved conditions on the border.
 The original order for all guards ment in the federal service to move to the border as soon as possible, al- though held in abeyance at General FunstOns request, has not been re- voked. Secretary Baker is expected to lift the suspension shortly and permit troops waiting in mobihzatioa camps to move as soon as they are ready.
 The order releasing the college men requires them to go to their home camps for mastering out and resum- ng their status in the state guards.

STATE TRUCK ROADS
 ARE TO BE FAVORED
Road Construction Under Fed eral Aid Road Act Should Con- form to Some Definite Scheme or Program, Says Houston.

Little Rock, Sept. S.-'It is highly desirable that the road construction under the terms ot fhe Federal Aid Road Act shall conform in each state to some definite scheme or program rather than that individual projects should be submitted in haphazard and aimless fashion"
 This excerpt from a letter from D. F. Houston, secretary of the Depart ment of Agriculture, to w. B. Owen, chairman of the Arkansas State High way Commission, expresses in few words the general policy of the gov ernment to be pursued in the applica- tion of the new federal road aid law State truck roads rather than local projects are to be favored. Secretary Houston sent to MT. Owen a publica- tion of twenty-four pages explaining the act and it's interpretation in de- tail.
 "I feel sure that you will agree with me as to the necessity for such a scheme or program at the outset, and therefore ask that, prior to the sub mission of any individual project, or coincident with the submission of your final project, you submit, in as complete detail as may be practicable, your scheme or program of work under the Federal Aid Road Act for the entire tive-year period covered by the act, or for such portion of the tive-year period as you may be in a position to set forth at this time.
 'In addition to setting forth the scheme or program of work pro- posed by your state, please outline what action it is proposed to take to meet the requirements of the act. This information should set forth the sources and method of making avail able the states, proportion of the cost of each project, the authority of the state and local officials in reference to the construction and maintenance of roads proposed for construction under the act, the facilities which the state possesses for carrying out the duties which participation in the bene- fits of the act will involve, the main tenance funds to be provided, and the responsibility which will be assumed for maintenance.
 l In view of the vast amount of red tape, it is probable that the legislature will find it somewhat difficult to work out a satisfactory system of meeting the requirements of the federal act Since the state without federal aid is planning already about $10,000,O00 of good roads for the next five years, the federal aid does not appear so at tractive as it did at first.

OUR SUPPORT VALUABLE.

The News-M Miner of last evening takes occasion to crlticise the car toon which appeared in yesterday mornings Citizen relative to Mar shal Erwin his refusal to contribute to the Democratic campaign fund and his altogether probable removal from office as United States marshal of this division. It points out the fact that We failed to mention the reason why Marshal Erwin failed to contribute the amount he had pledg ed himself to give, $450. Therefore, just to show the News-Miner that we dare publish the reason for the re fusal, we will proceed to do so. And in doing so we will state that the reason for the refu al only goes to prove that The Citizen has always been right in assuming that the United States marshal of this diVi- sion places his personal feelings above refu1 ing to contribute to the cam paign fund of the party which put him on the so-called pedestal which he now occupiei and from which, we predict, he will soon be dragged.
 Marshal Erwin refused to contrib reason that the Democratic com mittee had taken advertising space in the columns of The Citizen. He said as much in his wire to the com mittee But be it said to the credit of the Democratic committee Erwin's wire was scorned and no further re quest for assistance of any kind was made of him, although he holds one of the highest salaried positions i'll the Fourth division and. holding such, should have contributed a considera ble amount to the campaign fund.
 Which leads up to the fact that the committee must have considered the support of The Citizen valuable, else it would have withheld it's campaign advertising at the dictation of Erwin
 But aside from that consideration, it would prove that the members of the committee had too much intelli gence and good common sense tc allow Erwin to dominate the organi- zation, even at the price of losing his contribution, which, it is admit ted, would have been very acceptable for itself alone, but not for the req son that Erwin gave it.
