IVir National Defense. Perhaps It Is a reminder more than a discovery, hut there has come to us a conviction that this great nation, I ch In resources and strong In pa triotic manhood, has been negligent concerning Its own defense. We have dwelt in fancied rather than real se i urlty. Pride mingles with regret In this, because It suggests the mind of a nation so free from Intended of fense that there was no cultivated thought of needed defense Our righteousneas of purpose is portrayed in our trust in unarmed safety. But there is a warning In bleeding Eu rope, and there Is call today for pru dent, patriotic and ample national de fense There Is no mistaking the sen timent. We are not thinking of the c o M I N G COMING W GREATEST MONEY SAVING L&I VjA EVENT OF THE YEAR. iW 1 DOLLAR-DAY I POPlflLAR CASH STORE i ' a preparedness which la partisan In conception. We need not believe In a defense propaganda Inspired by those who aim to wax fat In the pro paganda Inspired by those who aim to wax fat in the production of arms and munitions, because there s none. I deplore the teachings that an an xiety about our national defense Ms, inspired by greed. We rejoice In free! speech and free press and untrammel-i led opinion, but, patriotism is Illy pro- moted by the imputation of falae mo-j lives, whether aimed at those who relieve in defense or those who doubt Its wisdom. Much a teaching rendaj the concord of citizenship, which may: develop a worse perl from within' than from any enemy without. Though we do not pretend to be ex clusive In our devotion, w republi-1 canB believe, sincerely and soberly, In adequate national defense. We have always believed In an ample navy, as invincible in modern might as Jejhn Paul Jones bullded In our freedom's earliest fight. We nave in mind a protected commerce on the waters and i seacoaat secure In strong naval de fense. We were building to high rank among naval powers when the demo cratic party Interrupted, and we sub-j nerlbe to a stronger committal now because of a new realization of the envy which our wealth and our com-mer-e Invite, and a new appreciation of our commanding place In the affairs of the world. 1 shall not say that It is ours to have the greatest navy in the world, but noting the elimination of distance and the passing of our' one-time isolation, we ought to have a navy that fears none In the world, and can say any time and anywhere I these are American rights and must be respected. Economy in Security. It is not for me to specify the pro- visions for naval defense. Since mud- j em warfare is In large part a conflict , Of brains, so must naval defense he de-j vised In highest intelligence. Let us; strengthen every arm aerial, subma-i rlne, fleet cruisers and great dread-! noughs. I... i him who Is anxious I about the cost remember that Hepub Ucan policies afford the ample means without conscious burdens upon the people Every belorehanded American citizen, whatever his activity, knows . that the cost of insurance against ac ! cldent, theft, fire, flood or thunder bolt, assessed as a fixed charge upon his income, is worth rts cost, in peace ! of mind, though loss never attends Moreover, under any system security economy itself. There are manifest differences about our developments for military defense. The president made a trip from the coast to the valley or the Missouri to toll the American people the need of preparedness, it mrght have been more seeml to tell the story to con. ress. for that body was in session and empowered to act, and seemingly ever ready to teBtify ooedience. How ever, congress undertook to provide an army for defense) and the majority wobbled between pacification and preparedness until the republican mi nority in the senate put something real In the pending measure. We re publicans made a rational response to the call of the land, but democratic .sufficiency and inefficiency are re corded in the conference-amended act, and a federal nitrate plant to supply powder to the patriots and pap to the paternalists and federal fertilizer to the farmers in competition with pri vate enterprise is the great construc tive offering of a democratic major ity. Until the civilized world is pledge J and repledged to peace, and until civ- I ilization commits nations to the no I liter practices of the Individuals who constitute them. In which I would I have Ametictt lead, this republic will ' have need for a basic army and s, ready provision for military defense I territory to defend, we have hysterical, we need not be moved by to unseath the sword for humanity's fake and put all territorial aggrand izement aside, with that belief In the square deal, Individual, national and International, which Is the foundation of American faith we mean to go on, . n exemplar"! peuee to all the na tions, an arbiter of Justice to all the world, a promoter of righteousness to all the people of the earth At the same time we have more to do than to chart a national course through the waters surging with the turbulence of war; our Inspiring course Is on the highway of peace. Our armed defense must ever be linked with our industrial self-rell-unce, and the nation worth dying for must first be worth living for. nut of nature's prodigality we have incal culable resources and limitless pos sibilities, and there Is need only for the unhindered application of man's genius and Industry to make up as In dependent industrially as we are free politically. Ample derense rests on industrial freedom and self-reliance U well us Iiatrlotie sacrifice arid in-I dustrlal preparedness gives that assur ance of material good fortune in peace on which must he founded all our higher aspirations. The pmtrt-tlvp l-otiry Subsistence Is the rirst requisite of existence, and we have the higher Am erican standard of living because of the republican protective policy which makes of Americans the best paid workmen in all the world. Out of the abundance of employment and higher compensation, together with I the beckoning opportunity which of-' fers every reward. We Americans have attracted the laborers of the earth. and set new standards here. It Is not for me to put the stamp of relative importance on pending ls-,-ues the Intelligent voters will de termine that for themsehes. Hut I snow what they are thinking, and they believe that the protective pol icy which made us industrially and commercial eminent ts necessary to preserve that eminence. I know they want it restored and maintained. For myself I prefer a protective and pro ductive tariff which prospers Amerl ia first. I choose the economic policy which sends the American working men to the savings hanks rather than the soup houses. I rommend the plan cuder wlch the healtfttl glow of pros pering business is reflected In every!; face from the great captain of Indus-1 j try to the schooling child of the daily!: wage-earner. Moreover, 1 like the abiding con- I slstency of our unchanging position I upon this policy The republican con- j ventlon of 1860, which gave to the na- tion and all history tne nomination of j Lincoln, made this simple and ample utterance: "That while providing revenue fnrlj the support of the general govern ment by duties upon imports, sounl policy requires such an adjustment of these imports as to encourage the de velopment of the industrial interests of the whole country; and we com mend that policy of national exchang es which secures to the working men liberal wages, to agriculture remuner ating prices, to mechanics and manu 'acturers an adequate reward for 'heir skill, labor and enterprise, and to the nation commercial prosperity and Independence." We might fittingly reiterate that utterance today. The failure of reve i,ues under existing democratic policy, the necessary resort to the impositlop. of direct and offensive taxation war taxes on a people at peace to meet deficiencies which ever attend demo cratic control, the depression and dis aster which follower democratic re vision, which were relieved rather than caused by the European war all these argue the republican restor ation. Temporary Pro-peril , No one disputes a temporary pros perity in our land today. But it Is sectional in its factory aspect, abnor mal in its fevered rush, fictitious In Its essentials, and perverting in its tendency. W orse, it is the gold sluic ed from the river of blood, poured out by the horrifying sacrifice of millions of our fellowmen, Qod forhid that we should boast a prosperity wrought oi such waste of human life. We had rather rejoice in the prosperity of Peace. We had rather boast our good fortune won from the world as it stands erect, in a fair contest, where men openly contended for the laurels I of industry and the garlands of trade. I do not mean ihat we must "sharp er our wits in competition with the world." for we tried that and Invol untarily turned the blade to cutting our production ind severing thousands from American pay rolls There was IU cut in the cost of living bo: a vis ible hack at the capacity to live.

It is worth while to recall the mag nificent importance given to the high cost of living four years ago: first, to emphasize democracy's failure to re duce it. though it risked and almost accomplished the ruin of our good for- tion of American sugar has been re pealed, and simulated grief about the American breakfast table has been put aside. With that facility for changing position which has been made manifest from Baltimore to Vera Cruz, the party in power pro I oses to restore the tariff commission which it had hastened to destroy. This change of attitude is not be cause of its great and manifest love of ci mmisslon alone, but because fail ure is written across every paragraph of democratic revision and fear Is 1 Hunting the White House slumbers.
