Bryan’s Ar German Conspiracy it; the in Various Parts of guments Not Worth United States. May Oregon Muchi Plead Guilty. Echo Newspaper Has New Man There is no occasion for becoming hysterical over what is termed “The President’s Plan” for better preparing our country against possible attack. All the world knows that the United States wants no territory that is pos sessed by any other power. At the same time all strong powers know that to attack the United States any nation would have to fight a long way from its own shores and that there would be other obstacles in the way. The most probable danger is that when the present war is over in Eur ope, some power, soured, disappointed and angry, may try to gain a foothold somewhere in Spanish America, which would make it necessary to go to the defense of the power threatened. But that danger is remote, because, first, the foreign war is not over, and second we suspect that The Haguo congress will have to be the final arbiter, and that the terms of peace will preclude any future war of conquest. But in all that there is no argument that is tenable against our nation taking the natural precautions against attack; for the unexpected is what often happens. Whether the Allies or Teutons win, the winning power will be aggressive aid probably insolent in victory. Should the result be a drawn battle, then all w >uld be soured and liable to be ag. gressive and possibly insolent. And the American people should not be made to sleep on uneasy pillows because of them. The arguments of Mr. Bryan are not worth much consideration. The in creased taxation which he anticipates would be but insurance money, and would not amount to one tithe of the cost of one month’s war. When he de clares that: “If there is any truth in our religion a nation must win respect as an indivi dual does, not by carrying arms, but by an upright, honorable course, that invites confidence and insures good will,” he seems to forget that “our re ligion” may not impress the other side. A little talk with a Belgian or Polish peasant might change hia mind. Has Mr. Bryan no locks on the doors of his private home? If he had to cross a frontier infested by wild beasts or sav age men would he trust altogether to his religion and upright life to win the confidence of the tiger or the savage’ (Continued on 2nd page) Exposition Closes Dec. 4. ------ ---------- o Mere Than 15,000,000 Visitors Have Beheld Wonders of Jewel City.
