TOO HEAVY A CALL ON ARIZONA

Arizona thus far has sent ab- out 1000 men to the colors in the great iwar. She has assessed about i4OOO for the last draft There was protest against what appeared to be discrimination, but her representatives were in formed the Census Bureau had figured out her population and that the call must be on that basis. Nothing availed a plea that the state con taius 10000 h. dians, on reservations, and about that same number of alien Mex ican laborers, not to speak of the large alien strength around the mines. So, when the ex- emptions were made and the aliens all had been set aside, about 40 per cent more than Arizona's just proportion of fine sturdy young fellows marched away. The injustice of the sys- tenn has been appreciated by Provost Marshal Crowder, who is supporting congressional ac- tion that will base the draft quota of each district on men in Glass 1, instead of on popu.a- tiOn,

WISE WERE THE PEOPLE.

Wise were the American peo- pie when they re elected Wood row Wilson to the presidency for the second time. Few men, no matter how great they may have made themselves in the business world, could have brought together such an organ ization of men as now heads all departments of the government. And few men would have been big enough to have called his political antagonist to lead in the investigation of the failure of the aircraft board to make good, which organization was the the pet proposition of the War Department. The calling in of Charles B. Hugher to con- duct this investigation shows that Wilson is bigger than his party and bigger than any man in public life today. Not only has he been above political in fiuence, but all his acts and do ings since the war began and prior thereto have shown him to be the one remarkable man of the age. When history is written the name of Woodrow Wilson will be among the great est men of the world in any genera tion. n.-Miner.

THE ECONOMY OF VICTORY

No matter what this war costs the government and the people of the United States in the way of money, it is going to be much cheaper to win this war than tc lose it.
 The commercial and financial losses that would follow Ger man victory are not to be calcu lated. All that we spent would be lost, indemnities beyond cal culation would have to be paid, and along with these losses would come a continuing loss in foreign commerce that would spell disaster.
 With these material losses we would lose our national liberty and independence, our power to secure our international rights, our right to live in a world ruled by the dictates of humanity and civilzatior.-Gr Guardian.

THE RATION BARD PLAN.

fThe ration card system for the flour and bread as adopted by the Phoenix Retail Grocers' as- sociation and the association re- presenting Mesa and other Southside towns, has proven to be of such practical value in limiting the consumption of wheat to six pounds per person per month that we shall imme- diateIy recommend it to Wash ington with the request that it be made statewide in applica- tion."
 This statement was issued by the executive secretary of the federal food administration for Arizona, following fully at- tended meeting of the merchants of Phoenix and vicinity beld at the Water Users building.
 The purpose of the meeting was to ascertain in what parti- culars the ration card plan could be improved. Don't change it in any particular. It is good enough as it stands. It is work ing out with far less friction than we ever supposed that if would" was the concenseS of opinion. One point emphasized is that the plan has actually cut the sale of wheat flour and bread in half, and if this saving can be effected over the state. there need be no fear but what the present supplies in Arizona vii suffice until harvest, despite the 1 fact that this state is supplying the allies and the eXpeditionary forces with 3,OOO,OOO pounds O. flour, as it's patriotic contribu tion toward winning the war.
 A resolution was adopted pc titioning the food administrat tior to issue request that all grocery stores be closed Sundays in th' interest of food conservation anc elimination of waste. Gazette

WARLIkE ARIZONA INDIANS.

It is 6 remarkable fact that Arizona Indian boys now are to be found scattered on scores of the ships of the A merjcan navy. Possibly because of the contra with the native conditions, the navy has been especially popul ar in the enlistment of adven- turous Indian youth, of whom a dozen or more have gone to sea from the Phoenix Indian school alone. More of the redskins are in the Arizona infantry regi- ment, the 18th at Camp Rear ny, and are making good sol diers. fOriginally there was a solid company of them, nearly all we'll drilled at the Indian School.
 During the civil war, two com panies Iof Pima and Maricopa Indians were enlisted as volun- teers and still later Indian in fantry IcompanieS were recruited at San Carlos and attached to commands of regular troops. In dians have always been a mate rial part of the enlisted strength of the Arizona National Guard regiment, which, for several years, was led by the Indian School band. Arizona.

ALCOHOL AND LONGEVITY.

Prohibition advocates tell us that moderate drinking cuts fif- teen years off the average mans life. This is probably the rea- son why that jocund young man Chauncey Mitchell Depew, de- spite his eighty fourth birthday, is hale, hearty and full of opti- mism. He has been a moderate drinker all his life. So he is really only sixty nine years old. Of course if he had been com- pelled by prohibitory laws to re- frain from the wine cup he would doubtless TOW be ninety nine, but he probably doesn't worry about that. Galapagos turtles live to be POO years old because they never drink alco- holic beverages, but who wants to be turtle, and it is ques- tion whether turtle gets as much fun out of life as our Chauncey has had during the few years that his bad habits have allowed him to live. Alec holic liquors are poison, say the alleged scientists" who note the effect of alcohol fumes on guiene pigs. MT. Depew has been poisoned these many years but hasn't found it out yet.-Ex.
