Andrews asked each witness the fol-

WILLIAMS on DOMESTIC
DEMANDS.

Congressman John Sharp Williams
has made record as the leader of the
Democratic minority which is re-
minder of the old days when his party
was a more vigorous power than the
dissension Of recent years has allowed
II to be. Some say Williams represents
u sane Democracy. Be this as II may
he is an antagonist worthy of the best
Republican steel. He at least does not
allow partizanship to run away with
common sense.
Mr.. Williams has written an article
for Golfers Weekly entitled shall
Jingoism BE Permitted to Starve Home
Development" that is certain to set
people thinking. He does not speak
as an anti-expansionist, but calls at
tention to the great opportunities for
domestic development which are likely
to be forgotten in the enthusiasm OF
building a world power. He recognizes
the necessity of providing an army and
navy strong enough to defend the coun-
try In case of attack, but deprecates
the idea of creating an army and navy
of such extraordinary strength as to
add to the temptation of seeking more
worlds to conquer. Our geographical
! position is such that any European
power will hesitate TO invade our Ter
ritory and he believes an army Of 25..
more is sufficient for all standing army
needs in view OF the strong force Of
National Guard always at nand in time
OF trouble.
1T is bad day for any people when
they become flag -crazy,' says Mr.. VIII
liams, when they forget that the only
soldier worthy Of admiration is the cit
izen soldier, who fights in defense OF
the liberties or the independence OF his
country or the rights of manhood. II
is bad day In the history Of any coun-
try when military expenditures, beyond
the limit Of wha. is reasonably neces-
sary for self-defense. begin to starve
