AS our external troubles multiply upon
us and become more and more serious;
as our tox burdens grow without prevent
ing large deficits and the Nation begins
to contemplate a stormy future, we can
sincerely congratulate old Spain that she
came out OF the war without colonial
empire and a multitude of patriots enger
To exploit her conquests and utilize her
victories for their own personal aggran-
dzement.
Recent dispatches from Spain show an
Interesting contrast lust now between the
victor and the vanquished of the late war.
While We are taking UP new and heavy
burdens that promise 10 remain with us
for decades Spain is said to be turning
her face with new hope to the future.
We are building up our military and naval
establishments beyond the dreams of a
year or two ago; Spain has commenced to
devise means for cutting down her army
and looping off hundreds of dead weights
she has been carrying in her navy. Freed

extent
Spain Is rich in natural resources OF an
agricultural and minera! character Few
portions of the globe OF an equal area sur
pess her in those respects. With her ell
ergies concentrated upon home develop

become prosperous and happy. The war

possibilities of progress TO her and to hav,

than almost any other people without
reaching the point or actual suffering b!
a majority of our people, but IL is still
possible to go beyond our means and

ment. National bankruptcy and disaster.
While Spain is learning n lesson from
the war. we are pushing its results toe
far and are allowing our strength to BIZ
prostitutad to ignoble ends and dangerou
uses. It remains indeed, for the future
to determine the yet open question wheth
er America or Spain most profited by the
conflict. II the administration at Wash
