There is no wiser saying of it's sort
than the well known old one tina runs
In time of peace prepare for war"
I'm as much as the government is not
prepared for hOstilities, and in view of
complications with Spain and many
unpleasant Incidents, it certainly be
hOoves the war department to make
all possible speed now to arm, to equip
the navy and complete all easnor de-
fences. What activity Yet seen is but
"a drop in the buckle of what is
needed. While but few rejecting, in
Formed people desire war, perhaps
four-fifths of the voters favor active
preparation for the worst. The
United States are a ffth-rate naval
power. Considering their great ex-
tent, their long defenceless coasts, the
certainty of war soon or late, with
Spain OF some other power, it is an i'm
pe1-ative duty and necessity that the
navy shall be greatly increased until
1T is made the equal Of n sea-power,
E,ngiaHd alone excepted. The United
Ssates POSSESS more seacoast than Rus

Why should their navy be smaller
than the natives of this nations,
should the cities on the coast be prac-
fically defenceless against a fleet of
any power that might make wal upon
them? Get ready for the worst is COM
mon sense as Well as common neces-
sfty.
THE secretary of the navy ought to
stop denying reports and apoligizlng
fer what little is doing in
preparing for extremities. 1t is
simply TIE duty of the con-
Eress to see 70 it that this country is
not left powerless and remain AN easy
victim of a third rate nation that may
tread upon the tail Of Uncle Sam'scoat
No people can nave a surer guac-
antee Of peace than that afforded in
thorough preparation and readiness for

WASHINGTON AND LEE

Some how the natal day of the
FATHER of his country is not much cele-
DRAFTED in North Carolina, and yet the
character, services and fame of George
Washington are held in undimmed
generation and admiration. 1t is also
true that the birthday of the greatest
man of the great war, the ideal SOL
dier, the k~nightliest OF knights, the
Sir Galahad of American history, the
man OF tender heart and nGblest viz
tues, of heroic courage and Hottest as
pirations, General Robert e. Lee, is
mot honored. The anniversaries of the
birthdays of two such sublime heroes
as George Washington and Robert E..
Lee should be celebrated in every town
and hamlet in North Carolina. Why
not? This state did it's duty fully in
both wars for independence. Both
were southern born, of English line
and both Virginians and born in
the same county, Westmoreland, and
not perhaps more than twelve miles
apart, a most extraordinary circum-
stance. If you would better under
stand and more accurately appraise
the virtues and glories of these two
monumental mel of the south, read
Professor Woodrow Wilson'S admirable
recent book upon Washington-a book
OF most striking literary merit, written
fir a style of exceeding freshness and
Felicity, with many charming passages
and most apt phrasing. and Professor
~right's Life of Lee" recently issued
from the press. We know of no bio
Eraphy or discussion of Washington
comparable i'm interest to Professor
Wilson's, and we are not acquainted
with any southern biography of SO
xnuoh literary merit. Professor

North Cardinals lay evangelist, Mr..
Weston r. Gales, makes an excellent
impression whenever he goes from
home. He is an Episcopalian and is
an effective and mmost useful lay
preacher. He is now at Charleston and
the News and Courier speaks we'll of
him. 1t refers to his eloquent ad-
dress" of Monday night last, AND says
he is an impressive speaker" Mr..
Gales is a gifted son of the late gifted
MajorSeaton GaleSof Raleigh,w who both
wrote and spoke with no little elegance
of diction, and was one of the best of
our friends in Chapel Hill days and
after. We take pleasure in noting the
success of the worthy evangelist who
is free from the vulgarity, co~arseness
and excuses of some other gold reap
ing cVangelists.
