the Republic. This objection has
died out and congress may be de-
pended on not to stint the navy.
1t is strange that one form of
armed strength should evoke 50
much fear in the United States
while the other is regarded with
complacency. Of course, the
battle ship Kearsarge cannot be
used to suppress riot in the coal
regions. But the regular army
soldiers have been used for such
purposes with the greatest infre-
quency. Such instances as the
Chicago railroad strike and the
troubles in the Coeur d'Alene are
rare. A leading argument against
regular army of respectable size
is that it would encourage war and
conquest. If the possession of an
army would have this result, how
much more dangerous is power
full navyl United States ships
cruising in foreign waters might
frequently become involved in diff
ficulties. The very presence
might be a temptation to seize
new possessions. Yet no cry is
made of the danger of a well
equipped navy to the Republic.
The truth is that neither the army
nor the navy constitutes menace.
Nobody really believes that Amer
lean institutions are threatened
because the navy ranks forth
among the powers and there are
eleven pounds of war ship fol
every man, woman and child.
The fear that an army of 100, 00O
men, one soldier to every $50 OF
the population, threatens the lib
critics of America is just as
