merit," said either foreign or domes
tic to enforce and the size of either
is the first or only essential". The
country, he said, had SO.000,000 of pa
triotic people," and it is in those that
the strength of our nation exists and
not in our standing army or our per
manent naval establishment."
Continuing, Mr. Tawney declared
that "the strength of our policies and
the ability of our government to en:
force them will always be measured
by ourselves and by foreign nations
not by the size of our army but by
the resources, the patriotism and the
loyalty of the people who at all times
are known to be ready and willing to
rtv and even
sacnncc wen ii j
their lives in the defense of their
stitutions."
The people, therefore, he argued,
should not be encouraged to sur
render that self-reliance, that con
sciousness of superior individual
strength as a nation by trying to
teach them to, rely on a standing
army and navy in time of peace,
large enough to be capable to suc
cessfully . complete with the armies
and navies of the world and one of
the time war." ,
Discussing the question of war, j
Mr. Tawney said that if there was
any reason to apprehend war with
any foreign power within the next
decade, the information which the up
prehension was based upon had been
carefully withheld from the legisla
te deoartment of the government.
He asserted that tthe geographic is
olation of tthe U: S. was an asset
far more valuable as a means of de
fense," than all the navies we could
build if we did not possess this ad
vantage. "Mr. Tawney that the U. s.
In past had pursued a bungling naval
policy, and he pointed out that the
journey of the Atlantic fleet to the
Pacific was made possible only
through the aid of 38 vessels flying
a foreign flag. "A more, disgusted
spectacle was never witnessed, he said
and he condemned the naval policy
which had overlooked auxiliary ves
sels to supply a fleet with the means
absolutely essential to its existence.
"It may be," he said in conclusion,"
that this great mistake is due to the
fact that a collier which is as essen
tial to the efficiency of the navy as
a battleship is not so attractive, does
not involve the expenditure of so
much money and does not afford the
opportunity for tTie same pyrotechnic
display upon the ocean or at the sum
mer resorts along the coast and for
that reason we have made the mis
take of building a navy that to-day
in order to make its voyage from one
ocean to another is obliged to reply
upon the vessels belonging to other
nations."

been adopted and the delegates
named, scene of the wildest disorder
followed the reading of the names of
the new state committees. The dele
eates from the several districts
protested that the names were not
those selected. The chairman replied
that the question was whether the
convention through its own commit
tee should be empowered to name a
new state committee, lhe aisles
were crowded with delegates de
nouncing the proposition. Order
could not be restored, the delegates
refusing to be seated and the police
for many minutes were powerless to
keep them quiet It was then past
midnight and the excitement was
greater than during the McCarren
incident. At the height of the dis
turbance the sergeant-at-arms was
knocked from the platform. The com
mittee's report was finally declared
carried. The convention adjourned
at 12:30 a. m.

EDISON'S CONCRETE HOUSE.
The first authentic article on the
Edison monolithic house, which has
excited such wide and varying com
ment from both the technical and
general press, appears in the current
issues of Cement Age from the pen
of K. S. Larned. Among other con
clusions drawn irom an imtincn
with Mr. Edison Mr. Lamed states
that the Edison cheap concrete house
is primarily intended for families liv-
ng in the congested tenement district
of the large cities, who find at pre
sent a minimum rental of $9 per
month for two or three rooms with
poor light, poor air, poor sanitation,
to be accompanied with appalling fire
risks and generally unattractive and

He said he had been locked in a
freight car for four days and nights. He
said his home was in San Francisco
and he is on his way to visit his sister
in Marietta. He said he boarded a

enhanced, it is necessary in taking
these families into tthe Suburbs or
country districts, to fix the rental suf
ficiently low so that the difference
between the present rates and the
proposed rate will cover the cost of
trolley transportation to and from the
city or place of employment. Mr.
Edison claims that the cost of the
proposed house is estimated at $1,200,
including plumbing, heating and light-
