ARIZONA GUARDSMAN
 QUALITIES FUR ARMY

Captain Sidney F. Mashbir, in com mand of Company K, First Arizona h. fantry, has passed the war department examinations for second lieutenant in the artillery, and has been offered a commission.
 Captain Mashbir, who in private life is civil engineer residing in Tucson. is one of the best known and well liked officers in the guard. He was city engineer of Tucson and Casa Grande. was an architect of ability and well known over the state for several engineering feats.
 Captain Mashbir has not as vet noti- fled the adjutant general as to wheth- CT he is going into the regular army. Colonel Harris however is of the opinion that Mashbir will accept and so into the artillery. Although at pres ent he is a captain and by joining the regular army he goes back two steps to the grade of second lieutenant, with conditions as they now are in the artillery it is the opinion of several guardsmen that his promotion will be swift and certain.

No Disgrace in Draft.

Cedar Rapids Republican,: One of
the most pernicious of all doctrines
preached out Of Washington this year
is that there is disgrace in the so
called draft. Even speaker Clark felt
impelled to give out such mistaken
ideas. Is it disgrace when man is
called upon to pay his taxes, to serve
on juries, or to do or to perform other
public duties? 1t is not disgrace to
be called upon to defend a nation In
peril. Instead it is an honor and the
only disgrace would consist in treat
ing such a duty as disgrace. Men
are continually being drafted for this
or that public duty. If a thousand
names are placed in box and one
hundred drawn out first are called up
on to do certain things in the name OF
their government, the men SO called

Christian Science Monitor commends
Plan to Send Colonel to Europe.

/
Plan to Send Colonel to Europe.
Christian Science Monitor: The
United States has, at this time. need
of all of it's resources, using the
term in its most comprehensive
sense. Nothing should be allowed
to go to waste. Especially needful
are the resources in men of character,
qualified by intelligence, experience,
and energy for leadership. Some one
has recently said that President VIII
son could hardly do wiser thing
than to summon to his aid in this
crisis men of distinction in all par
ties, headed by the two former presl-
dents. At any rate all lines of parti-
sanship should be wiped out, temper
arily, at least; all personal preju-.
dices should be obliterated; it is only
the nation and the cause in which 1t
is enlisted that must be considered
now. Should the president Issue
such summons, the response would,
without doubt, be prompt and hearty.
Some who. politically speaking.
have been as far from the president
as the north pole Is from the south,
have not waited for an invitation,
but, impelled by patriotic fervor,
have anticipated it. Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt is one of these. He
offers to raise and to lead a division
of volunteers for oversee service. No
person informed with regard to his
popularity and influence will question
his ability TO raise as well as to
command such a force. If given the
authorization and the commission
necessary. volunteers would come
streaming toward his headquarters
from every point Of the compass.
His division could not hold them ALL
Why should he not be so author
lied and commissioned? Who could
be better entitled to head the first
expedition to France, or perhaps, to
Belgium or Germany. than one who
has held the rank of commander in
chief of the army and navy of the
United States? Whose example, in
person and following. would do more
toward arousing popular enthusiasm
and stimulating enlistment?
There is reason to believe that
the president looks with favor upon
a measure which. If enacted by con-
gress, will grant Colonel Roosevelt
the privilege he seeks and insure to
the nation the service it needs. Not
alone in raising and leading divi- |
sion, but in arousing sentiment |
throughout the whole country that |
would make for the raising Of many
other divisions, would Colonel Roose-
velt's active participation in the war
be valuable.
