The Unknown Solicitor.

A reader has called our attention to "promiscuous hcggng"-that is to the solicitation of funds SUD- posedy worthy purposes without credentials showing that solicitor been authorized to collect funds There is legitimate field for the individual lictor This work is being accomplished by responsi- ble organizations. Charity. the various missions and practically everything within that line of endeavor ha, been taken over by one body another.
 There has been much individual solicitation in the of work. A part of it. know. has been fraudulent We also know that part of it has been genuine; that is, honest in purpose
 In the early days of the war, when ming around in circles wildly looking for place to take hold, we had many foolish crazy notions about helping. We seized by sudden fancy and out to collect money for it.
 But all that work has been organized and stabil- ized The Red Cross. the Y. M C. A.. the Knights of Columbus the Salvation Army, etc. are covering the whole field and doing it well.
 The business other citizen will do well to refuse strange solicitors and women, who come 10 him for money for any object which he does not understand If it is for the war; the church. the mis- sons charity. subscriptions should be denied In the first place it should be denied regardless of the honesty of the solicitor because the money will cer- tainy be wasted It should be denied for the reason that the solicitor may be, and most likely is m- postor In such it would be better to throw the money into the garbage where it cannot become encouragement of fraud.
 There is class of solicitation of funds though that does within the scope of any organiza ton. Sometimes money is suddenly needed in an emergency. The solicitation then should be made by man whom the person approached knows and in whom he has confidence It may be that family has been overtaken by sudden distress and cannot await the slower movement of organized charity. It may be that some temporary semi public need presents itself In such the solicitor is the guarantor of the worthiness of the object.

feet would suffice The greatest of the many obstacles to be encountered was the mountain sickness which occurred in the highest attitudes through defl- ciency in oxygen. The gradual climber going afoot, was less handicapped in this respect than the aviator rising suddenly from sea level in his machine; on the other hand, the pedestrian had more fatigue to undergo and this practically capitalized matters. The chief desideratum, in any case, was an adequate supply of oxygen with a proper inhaler.-Scientific American.

Office hoIdinq.

In the heat of passion some of the democratic ddates saying things about each other that they will regret The primary campaign has become heated and bitter. In a close state county district. the feeling engendered in this campaign would be fatal in the general campaign.
 We do not believe that office that is, any office being contended for in Arizona is worth the mental disturbance and frayed temper of some of the cand- dates. There may be some sense in getting mad and excited when great issue is stake but it is nothing than salary attached to an office citement it is species of temporary insanity.
 Somebody must hold the offices, but every man should desire that it should be somebody else Not in a hundred office holders profits. Not one in hundred escapes oss Office holding is the poor est paid vocation there is If we had dozen boys patton in politics We should make them skillful in not to get in themselves.
 We have in mind one of the most brilliant men, in Arizona. There never an abler politician in this territory with a more promising career He had been in politics from boyhood in Kentucky. He had enjoyed the favor of great men. Finally he began to descend the hill. His descent was steady and rapid Then he became object of charity and ded He typical. His biography should be placed in the hands of every Arizona boy who has salary

GUAM IS 4 LOYAL ISLAND
Voluntary Universal Training Helps
Very Materially in Ameri-
canization. :,

How far the people Of the Pacific
island of Guam have progressed in the
process Of Americanization is indicat-
ed in the current issue Of the Guam
News Letter, copies OF which have re-
Gently reached Seattle, Wash, the
Post-lnteIIigencer Of that city states.
The island, which is our cable outpost
for the Philippine islands and the ORR
ent, is governed by Capt. Roy G. Smith
of the American navy, under the over
sight of the navy department. Cap
tain Smith seems to be developing
very ardent brand Of Americanism
among. the isIand people, who are
known as Chamorros and have
strong admiXture of Spanish blood.
The News Letter describes the cele-
bration Of Washington's birthday in
Guam, to which the people floclled
from all parts of the island, coming
by lauH n, owing to tie absence Of any
island highway system. The proceeds
of the variOuS enterprises, amounting
to S1,20J5, We're donated to the Red
Cross, and we gather that the program
of amusement WAS purely American.
For instance, the "hOt dog" stand
realized $10S.94; Buffers soda, $15S.-
so; knock the Cat down, $112.O7; the
moving picture show, $500; the jit-
ney dance, $3.50; wheel of fortune,
$35O.1O; lemonade stand, $72.O3; base
ball game, $16,40. From all sources
the Red Cross received $500, and
subscriptions We're given for $4,000 in
Liberty bOnds.l
More than this, the island militia
had its first parade. Some time ago
Governor Smith put into effect a uni
versal military training law at the re-
quest of the people, this being the
first portion OF american territory in
which such Il law has been made effec-
tive. There are 1000 militiamen, the
government Supplying guns and am
munition and die regular khaki uni
form OF the United States army. Seven
per cent Of Guam'S population is in
the militia, 4; which rate, if we of the
mainland kept up with the Chamorros,
we should have an army of 100000.
