proHperity and profits, hut iiumt of all they prefer peiiee.
fnie military propaganda did not originate with the
maHe, hut with the elates, who have strenuously striven
by every known nieaim to popularize it. Vet the people
do not respond and fail to enthuse. Thev know that the
must furnish the vietinm and
a war, while the UKKm'mizcinent and prolits are reaped by
the property-owning elasses fostering preparedness.
Preparedness is not popular beeause it involves a de
parture Trom national traditions of avoiding foreign coni
plieations; beeause ihilitarism, under whatever name it
goes, is destructive of libertv and incompatible with dem
ocracy; because its net result to the people is an increase
of taxation without apparent benefit or protection, either;
and the taxation is always of the poor instead of thn rich.
The people of the United States have every confidence
in the latent powers of the nation to protect itself. Bryan's
million men by sunset would be a reality if the occasion
demanded it but the nation will never contribute a mil
lion to waste their lives in the regular army. No nation in
history has grown in every material way as the United
States. No nation has its resources, ami if it was 'neces
sary to go upon a fighting basis it would do so, and when
the giant awoke, a world in arms could not conquer it.
Neither (lerniany nor any other nation desires to
arouse the wonderful potential force of the United States,
with its hundred millions of population, with greater
wealth than the three greatest of Kuropcan nations, and
annually producing as many
In all that makes a nation America is great. And simply
because the United States has not devoted itself to the
costly armaments of war ami loves peace is no reason it
cannot and would not excel the world in warfare, if nec
essary. Realizing tho potential strength of the nation, the peo
ple simply refuse to be panic-stricken over imaginary dan
gel's conjured up by the fevered brains of jingoes, or over
tax themselves to pay the munition-makers playing the
preparedness fiddle for profitable "patriotism."

MARY ANTIN TALKS
PREPAREDNESS
AT
Mary Antln will speak In the mall
hall of the Natatorlum tonight on the
subject ' Preparedness.- for What"
Miss Antln whose married name Is
Mrs. Mry Oraubau, wrote the "I'ro
mised Land", one of the most Impor
tant hooka of the present decade and
her lectures have created a sensation
throughout the. large cttltm of the
country. The securing of her In
Medford, one of the smallest places
she haa visited la due to the enter
prise and progressive spirit of the
club women of Mwlford, members
of the Greater Medford club, College
Women's club, tho Wednesday Study
club and the Colony club. Some Idea
of the Impression Mrs. Oraubau has
created elsewlmre is shown by the
following extract from the St. Paul
Pioneer Press.
"There Is no woman who so ex
plains the present moment in Amer
ica, or so Justifies tho Ideal of Amer
ica, as Mary Antln. Apart from tho
racial and Immlgrantlal value of her
writing mul her afieaklng, there nre
exquisite literary values, and rare
personal graces. There Is a quality
In her books, like that of tho Psalms.
It Is rather In tho vision, In tho Intro
spuctfon, that one finds Miss Antln.
Tho subjcctlvo side of her writing Is
bettor than the objective side. Ono
does not so much see things with her
uvon though flho describes with much
detail, as ono fools things, and she
never overloads her feelings: always
she carries the reader on the wave of
hor high emotion. In tho Old World
and In tho new, nlthough she hns tho
accuracy of seeing which Is keen In
her race, It U the Boeing bohliid
things, through things, to tho heart
of things, which Is her particular
value. She has an oxqulslto humor,
which Is not racial, nud a high spirit
uality, which Is racial.
