Mow to Be Prepared What the American people want
When the important question is ample protection against

“preparedness,” first came up \ -^=~-^
for discussion, we confess that Recently Morris said that the

was prepared for defense or not, Frank White and the editor of

it from every angle, and the Thus, according to his argument

ouglily are we convinced that of the entire democratic party
Congress should provide for an j and a goodly number of republi-

sonable to believe that the Presi- ocrats and republicans who were
lined up against the Democrat,
at that time, are now in the so-
cialist party—and now we pre-
sume are sanctified and got a
red tag tied to their coattails.
dent, the cabinet, the naval and
military boards and experts know
what they are talking about
when they tell us that the nation
is not amply protected. This

Several weeks ago we agreed
to meet Mr. Morris upon any
question upon which we dis-
agreed. Week before last we
agreed to meet either Mr. Mor-
ris or Mr. Whalen upon a series
of questions. To date they have
failed to accept and have not so
much as replied. They were the
first to suggest this debating
business, so why don’t they
come out of the tall grass and
tell us what they will do? When
they start anything they should
be willing to hack it up. The\
should either be willing to de
liver the goods or hold their
peace. A man should be either
a mouse or an elephant.
Mayor Limn of Schenectady,
N. Y., is a bitter disappoint-
ment to his Socialist comrades.
Because he appointed four men
not sworn Socialists the New
York state executive committee
of the Socialist party, in a for-
mal statement, has denounced
him as no better than a triator
to the cause.

Socialism is not a moral re-
form; socialism is not a social
reform; socialism, according to
the socialist press and agitators
is social revolution with ultimate
communism in view. Nine out
of every ten socialists do not
know what the originators really
advocated.

paredness might lead to militar-
ism and war. Anything worth
while costs money and the
American people should not liesi
fate because of cost providing
that cost is kept within reason-
able bounds. If we should not
nave ample defense because of
the cost, we might as well abol-
ish what we have and save what
we are now spending. Every
red-blooded American citizen be-
lieves that this nation should
be prepared, because, as Presi-
dent W ilson has said, we knov
not what a day may bring forth
The President and the American
pe iple are lovers of peace and
t tey are willing to go any length
ti maintain peaceful relations
with all the world, bit there arf
lengths to which they would not
wish to go. When the President
shill have done ajl within his
power to adjust the many per-
plexing questions that arise
almost.daily, and when that da\
a rives when he cam do no more,
he will then have to come tc
Congress and the American peo-
ple and say, “I have done all
within my power to preserve the
peace; what shall I do
cos' I makes a f ool remark on the
street about anything, Morris
says the “ring” did it. When
he makes a fool out of himself
in court because of his own in-
competency he says the “ring”
is the cause of it. Because Bui-
lt is too bad that a horse can’t
laugbt. Just imagine how many
hearty guffaws a nag could
have when one of those one-
seventy-ore I cylinder hath tubs on wheels
comes snorting down the street,
making a noise like a road
