The Diqnity of Traub

We have with us again General Peter Traub. L. $. A., not entirely unique in history since some years ago federal appointee sergeant at arms, be- lieve of the house representatives friend at home that he was "bger man than ole Grant General Traub, the head of a brigade division in the Argonne, recently described his achievements there in such way leave the inference that they were greater than those of Grant in the Wilderness.
 General Traub injected himself into what he evil dently considered a discussion with Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas, though it does not appear that Allen addressed himself in the first instance Tradb that since replied to or recognized Traub in any way.
 But the general now proclaims that it is beneath the dignity of general to carry discussion with a mere governor. Now. there are generals. and gen. erals. well as governors and governors As a general Traub has hardly feathered out yet He has not been general long enough that to have lost it's glamour to him; it's dignity doubt yet seems overwhelming He would perhaps never in the happiest circumstances become very good gen. sral He won his spurs as a desk officer mostly as
 teacher of languages in various military institutions By what perversity he became the commander of men in actual fighting do not know But Governor Allen, who there and the front found that Inc Kansas regiment which was under Traub's com S~and was without proper arms and not proper Supporteu, Tn consequence ol which the casualties in it were much greater than they otherwise would have been. There no direct criticism of rraub in the governors statement of facts which appear to be well supported, Probably he did not 'egard Traub any responsible for the state of things described than sergeant. As we nave said Traub though general was not much of general while Governor Allen is pretty much of governor. He was nationally and interna tonaily known as writer and orator for years and of the really great men of the country while rraub was teaching modern languages in Panama and

 Hundreds of inscriptions were sub mitted to Governor Campbell. but after giving careful consideration to them all he narrowed down the list to eleven, and in final sitting process decided that the sentiment expressed by the man of the northern town was the best of them all.
 It will be remembered that a short time ago Governor Campbell received telegram from the assistant director of publicity of the second federal re- serve district at New York, asking that an inscription limited to 25 words or less be forwarded him for use as above indicated. The governor gave the mat ter publicity. inviting the people of Ari- zona to participate. The response was greater than his expectations and some really worthy gems of thought were the result. Among the slogans submitted were the following:

at other points. In his absence on Red Cross worh in France, the people of Kansas without his consent overwhelmingly nominated and elected him governor.
 There may be in or more of the other forty states governor equal in ability and reputation to Henry J. Allen, but will say that after some minutes spent in running the list we have been unable to put finger upon and say that he is the peer of Governor Allen.
 And this is the man with whom controversy would diminish the dignity of that accidental rank to which Traub has somehow attained amid the turmoil and mischance of war

How to Make Use of the Cubs

The Chicago Cubs will soon be here, to-wit: April 10. that is Persons with civic pride fired by state patriotism already casting shout for to entertain these dis tngushed rayers that their memory of their sojourn in Phoenix will always be and pleasant, means of advertising and source to this locality and this state. Various suggestions have been made It has been proposed to give them Gila Monster rattesnake to carry around with them. But on second thought, it appears that there enough of these mementoes of Arizona scattered about the country.
 Another proposal is to give the Cubs burro as a mascot. Perhaps they would regard it an incum- brance; they already have mascot young bear change of mascots would entail change of and we do not think Manager Mitches athletic young would take kindly the title of the ''Burros."
 Moreover. burro would be constant source of expense such gift would have to be accompanied by consignment of hay which logically we should contribute. And then, after all the burro is not distinct characteristic Arizona It only because Arizonians are imaginative and poetical than other people that the burro came to be called the Arizona Nightingale"
 The subject of hay having been introduced why not give to the Cubs bale of alfaa-a characteristic Arizona product? That would mean something to those who saw it. Or if not alfalfa, let give bale of long staple cotton there may be spread abroad in the land the fame of our newest and great est industry. Cotton is also constituent basebas though they do not feel like it, and it would be to our edifcaton if the manufacturers of balls could be led to advertise that Pima cotton was used in their construction
 Could we not also cut down an orange tree and have it turned into bat for the Cubs? There are many ways by which could convert the visiting aggregation into an advertising medium
