MILITARY PREPAREDNESS.
The . United States is spending
enough for an army and navy to
equal the military prowess of an Eu
ropean nation.
. A large army and navy may be
justified on the grounds that they con
stitute -peace insurance.
!Bnt we should see that we get value
for our money.
And our army and navy will never
be efficient as long as both are foot
halls of politics, with army and navy
officers lobbying in Washington D. C
tnd influencing congress.

The government of Great Britain
has disbarred the International news
service, a Hearst concern, from the
use of British mails and British cables
alleging that the news association had
sent out untrue reports. : ,,
(In justice to that news service, it
should be stated that it alleges in an

by British cenS6rhip and to send out
news reports colored by 'British press

Whether disbarred from Great
Britain or not, the press association
will still continue to get and print the
news. Our sympathies are with the
press association in its fight with a
powerful government.

Well do I mlud the story, said
Fliipegan. Balaam was a blgbbrow
that knowed less tban bit Jackass. He
took an office to curse the people.
The Jackass saved them. 'Tls all In
Numbers Twinty-two. Och hone! 'Tls
different these times. The Jackass
knew better till Balaam tamed him.
"Lave me ride ye," says Balaam, "an'
I'll make ye the biggest Ass in the
.wqrld," ,
"Great." says the Assj "what d'ye
feed?" . ,
"Pork," says Balaam. , i ,.. ,.
j ."Me aavlor," says the Ass. '
'- B Balaam mouuts. - But soon the
Jack balks.
"Pbwat Is it?" says Balaam.
. "SnakeB," says the Ass; "LTt looks
like the jawbone uv me mother."
"O'wan," says Balaam, hlttln' the
Ass a clip, " 'tls me furren' policy,"
he says.
"Phwat's ut for?" axes the Ass.' "
"Ut definds the nashun," says. Ba
laam. ' ' -"How?"
says the -Ass. ' ..,
"Faith," says Balaam, "ut takes a
bigger Ass tban you to know that.
Lave it to Briue," says Balaam to the
Ass; an' the Jack walks on medlta
tln'. '''''.- ' ' y:: '"',-
"Hee, haw." says the Ass, balkln' an'
kickv: , : ,
'"What now?" says Balaam. '
"Dlvll a Jackass ever seen the like,"
says the Ass. "Ut could be" a frog,"
s'ayS 'he,' "for ut stands' up In front,
an' sits down behind; an' 'tis mos'ly
mouth,'' says : the Ass. "Ut has white
feathers," Bays the Jack, "wid yaller
streaks, that changes." he says, "to
VeryCrooz Red, or Nlagaray Blue, an
now they're Carrysall Yaller again,"
says be. "Hlvlns, have I been drink
In'?" screams the Ass to Balaam.
"Saints be praised," says Balaam.
"Me Watchful Waltln' can still change
Its mind," he says.. . "G'wan, where
glory waits," he says. "G'wan, in the
service uv Mankind," says Balaam to
the Ass, touching blm up. An' the
Ass shuffles abend, wavln' bis ears in
admiration.
"Heo-hawl Hee-haw!" says the Jack,
rearin' up wld his eyes bulgla'.
"Phwat's grlppln' ye now?" says Ba
laam, Impashuut like.
"I doiino," says the Ass. "Ct looks
like the Fly In' Dutchman with a So
cialist Crew," ho says.
" 'Tls me Ship Bill," says Balaam.
"Side step to the right," he says; "side
step to the left," says be, weltln' him.
"Back up," says Balaam, near wrench,
in' off the Jack's jaw. "Now forward
for the Merchant Marino an' fifty
mlllyun pork." says Balaam wld a
shower uv blows; an' the Ass goes on
tbrcmblln'.
"Wah-liee! Wnh-lieo! Wah-bcc!" says
the Jack, shylu' so bo near threw bis
rider. " ' "i
"I'll learn ye to by at me Naval
Bill," says Balaam, lar-rupln' the baste
so be cud scarce stand.
"Ye can't pass ut vvidout wearlu"
Republican clothes." says the Jack In a
coarso whisper.
"Ye Ass," says linlaaui. "Don't ye
know that anny does Is bctther nor
nakedness? G'wan," says Balaam, lu
tones uv thunder. So the poor baste
lopes on, Iiuipln' wld pain.
I've not time to tell yo all the adven
tures they had, but they kep' on over
rough roads, now an' then crossin' a
ditch ou a wan term . plank, which
mado even Balaam unalsy. Ivlry time
tho Jack kicked, he got short rations
an' a wnllup. So when tho journey
was near over, the poor baste wus all
In, and far too proud to light. Any
Jack-Ass can be that when lie's licked.
Wan stormy night, the Jack blooms
luto a harmony like a Dlmycrat Tariff
Hymn played on a gasplpo wld tho feet
"Phwat alls ye now?" calls Balaam1,
dubbin' blm wld both hnnds. t
"Nlvver did I pass the like," yells the
Ass, swcatln' and thremblln'. "Ut
says ut's an eight hour law. Oh, phwat
la ut?" screams tho Ass to Balaam,
feebly wagglln' his ears.
"I dlnno phwat ut Is meself," says
Balaam, "but I know phwat ut's got."
Balaam says.
"Phwat?" axes tho poor Ass.
"Five hundlher thousand votes." says
Balaam, wld a pious air. "G'wan, ye
big Ass, an' doant ye argue wid an'
Idayllst," says Balaam to the Ass.
"We can't pass ut In t ho dark," pleads
tho Ass. "Lave us wait for light,"
moans the Ass, wecpln',
"Ms," says Balaam, "There's a hot
time comln' an' the votes'll spile. Do
ye I hurst for sixteen more years in tho
wilderness? (liddlp," s:.iys he, "purg-
In' ye'r heart, " sa.vs Balaam, "iv Ivlry
thought that's sellish," sa.vs Balaam,
"or personal," chants Balaam to the
poor Asa tlcklln' tile Jack's slats wld a
couplln' pin.
By this time, the Ass was so wore
out wld his ai'dyous labors, that he
knew no more than Balaam himself.
So, wld one dcspnirln' cry. be dropped
his ears, as he an' his master stumbled
forward Into the dark.
