IN TIME OF PEACE, ETC:
The congress which meets today
will have many important questions
to consider. The need of currency
reform is pressing, arid the commer
cial world will not rest in its efforts
until some progress is made - in the
direction of betterment. The Ha
waiian annexation project can be
counted upon to consume a good
deal of time and oratory, and the
decision, all will agree, is an import
ant one, establishing as it does the
subsequent policy of the country re
garding territorial expansion. The
need of a national bankruptcy law is
becoming apparent, while we still
have left from last session the Cuban
matter, which promises to last until
the revolutionists are starved to sub
jection or the Spanish soldiers are all
dead from disease.
In addition to these very import
ant questions, another one could be
added, which, while it may not be
broached at this session of congress,
will have to come sooner or later. It
is the settled opinion of military ex
perts that the United States should
take some steps looking to the in
crease of our regular army. Nor is
this opinion confined to men versed
in military matters, it extends to the
laity as well. We are living in an
intensely practical age; sentiment
nas its share ' in controlling actions,
but not so much as in former daj-s.
It is expediency that directs and de
cides in this era.
It has been'a favorite pastime to
revel in the dream of a glorious
peace, when all armies ai to be dis
banded and the ships of the nations
dismantled. But such talk is but the
stuff that dreams are made of noth
ing more. Not' while this old world
persists in its rollicking, wicked ways
will we have a universal peace, or
anything approaching it. Not while
greed and selfishness, anger and re
venge occupy such prominent places
in the human make-up will the worid
see such outbursts of international
affection as some of these enthusiasts
would have us believe. The 6ame
causes which made war in former
days exist today; perhaps not in the
tame form, but their potentiality is
just as great. Europe 1 recognizes
this fact, and every nation is arm-
ing itself as never armed before
Germany, France, England, Russia,
all realize that the dogs of war, how
ever tight their chains may be, some
day will break loose, and woe be
unto mat country wiiich is unpre
pared.
t Can America hope always to oc
cupy the isolated position regarding
international difficulties as she does
today. We see no reason for such
assumption. Already we are in
volved more or less seriously with
England regarding northern bound
aries, while the antics of some of the
hot headed southern republics may
make us go to war in defense of our
long-cherished Monroe Doctrine. In
such event where would be our army
, of 25,000? Widely scattered over
an . immense territory, it would be
as nothing so far as a substantial de
fence is concerned.
If America is to keep her place in
. the procession of nations, she must
lake heed to' "those things which are
essential to national safety. We
would be glad to see congress pro
vide rhenns for "increasing the army
to at least double its present size.
The Oregonian has begun on what
promises to - be a crusade against
gambling apd the infamous practice
of the Portland police in protecting
crime in that city. The task is a
big one, and the Oregonian will have
its hands full if it continue the con
test; but all will agree that no
greater service can be done the peo
ple of Portland than the breaking up
of the gang of men who are growing
rich and taucy at the expense of the
taxpayers. ' Most sensible people
came to the conclusion long ago that
Pennoyer was about the biggest fake
Oregon possessed, and by the time
his administration in Portland is fitw
ished, that city will be considerably
the worse for wear.
