Protesting Draft Quota.

ed a vigorous protest at Wash
ington that the draft quota as
signed to this state on the esti
mated population for conscrip
tion is to high. The census esti
mate made in January gave Ari
zona 259, 666, and the estimate
for the draft made in July in
creased these figures to 400, 203
an increase of over so per cent
in six months. In some counties
in the state, where there is &
large alien population who are
exempt from conscription, it will
be necessary to draft nearly ev,
cry man between the ages of 81
and 80 to furnish their quota.
If aliens were not to be sub.
ject to the draft their names
should have been eliminated be-
fore the apportionment, so that
conscription would fall equally
on all sections. The original mis-
take in the selective draft law
was made when quotas were
based on estimated population of
the several states, which under
the highest motives would be
full of injustices, but when in
control of politicians seeking to
favor political friends would reek
with unfairness and corruption.
1t was not necessary to base the
quota on the doubtful population
estimates. The law should have
required the registering of all
the men between the required
ages, and after deducting the
aliens, the per cent or quota re-
quired should have been based
on the total remainder. This
would have been positive inform
alton as to war strength of each
state, and ma ke the draft fall in
true proportion and work equi-
ty and justice.
1t is a most remarkable fact
that in all the southern states
the estimated population for con-
scription is many thousands less
than the estimate made by the
same officials in January of this
year before the declaration of
war. but when it is remembered
that southern democratic states
men are in the saddle at Wash
ington the thought naturally
arises if political influence had
any pressure in reducing the quo
ia basis for the south, and in
creased the basis for the north
ern states. Even New Mexico
worms in with a reduction in
her estimated population, so that
she furnishes 700 less soldiers
than Arizona, when in fact the
actual population of New Mexico
exceeds Arizona by IT'S, 900. Her
representatives in Washington
were evidently on the job look.
ing after the interests of their
state when the population figures
were being compiled for the war
draft. Arizona's representatives
are down there just to draw their
salaries, and bask in the atmos-
phere of greatness to which they
contribute nothing.
The following figures will be
interesting reading, showing the
decreases allowed in the estlmat-
ed population for the draft made
in July from the population fig
ures compiled by the same off
cials in January prior to the de-
claration of war as applied to the
southern states. The decreases
are as follows:
| Alabama, 401, 737; Arkansas,
158, 1873; Kentucky, 1862, 513; Lou.
isiana, 154, 184; Maryland, rs, 149
Mississippi, 462, TIT; Missouri,
179, AGA; North Carolina, 272, 293

lima, 250, 1877; Tennessee, 271. 423

How the lessons OF the great war
may be taught in the school room IS
told in Teachers Leaflet No. 4, on
Opportunities for History Teachers,
just issued by the United States
Bureau of Education Of the Depart
ment of the Interior, for distribution
to teachers Of history throughout the
United States.
That the American teacher of his
tory is this year planning his work
under conditions at once preplexing
and inspiring, is the Bureaus state
ment in announcing the new work. In
its appeal to teachers the Bureau
says:
"The nation has finally been drawn
into great war, a war which demands
for its successful prosecution not only
efficient and courageous service in the
army and navy, but also the loyal CO.
operation of millions Of men and
women who are not anrolled in the
fighting forces nor directly responsible
for the civil administration on which
those forces depend.
First of all comes the dutyof keep.
ing, for teacher and pupil, the habit Of
at least trying to see things as they
really were and are. This is not easy
at any time. It is peculiarly difficult
at such a time as this, when too many
people believe a slight distortion Of
facts may be patriotic duty. In the
] long run loyalty to the country as well

as loyalty to history are best served
by looking facts squarely in the face.
"The training of young people and
of the parents through the pupils to
take an intelligent part in the decision
of public questions is important
enough at any time, but it is peculiar.
" SO in this war whose. meaning for
the individual citizen is not SO easily
brought home. In 1923 and 1927, when
the Monroe Doctrine was under dis
oussion. Daniel Webster referred to
the people who thought the Americans
had no interest in the European .sys.
tenn of mutual insurance for heredi-
tary rulers against popular move
ments. What, they said. have we to
do with Europe? The thunder, it may
be said, rolls at distance. The wide
Atlantic rolls between us and danger;
and, however others may suffer, we
shall remain safe. Webster's answer
40 this question, was strikingly similar
to some Of the utterances of President
Wilson: L think it is sufficient
answer to this to say, that we are one
of the nations Of the earth. We have
as clear an interest in international
law as individuals have in the laws of
society. That was said long before
the steamship, the submarine, and the
wireless had broken down still further
our splendid isolation Today we are
fighting for our rights but over and
above those special rights of our own

safe, least of all those democratic
governments which are less effective
ly organized for war than for peace.
mo one can take an intelligent part
in a great conflict for the safety of
democracy under an orderly system Of
international law unless he is really
interested in and knows something
about other nations than his own
about the difference between a repub-
lican government like our own or that
of France or the scarcely less demo-
cratic constitution of Great Britain on
the one side, and in sharp contrast to
all these, a strongly monarchical sys-
tenn like that Of the German Empire,
In which the most important measures
affecting the national welfare may be
practically determined by a single
hereditary sovereign or small group
OF such soyereigns." -.
