Mr. Jone would bar this Nation lake the position of a man who defers buying a revolver until he Is far to far with a burglar or highway mo bar; or that of a man who puts off lo suring his house until It la on fire: or that of a man who Beslacta to Insure bis lf berause his health Is good and accidents aaam Improbable. A prud ent man provides against robbery, fire or premature death, not because they are probable, but be-aus they are poeiM risk lo aver man and b. rsue when the danger la Imminent. It M too 1st to mas Ibis provision. preparedness for war Is a Nation' Ufa Insurance. If It W nesjlecled. the Nation may ba destroyed by war or by axcreeeloo. which th Nation Is power, lea to resist.

Just as a ht-hwa)men suddenly confronts th traveler, as fir auddrnly attacks one's bouse, as death In any of Ita many form may suddenly end one's life, so doe war auddrnly coma upon a na tion. This was true of the lluaeo Japanese war. the first Itslkan War and the praaant war. The nation which dfra prepaxatlon until war begins Is defeated before th first blow Is struck.

That we may correctly adjust the tariff to th prev. slant economic conditions, w should he sin now to ascertain th controlling farts.
