WE ARE A "WoRLD
POWER"
Pulitzer Reminds Roosevelt Such
Was the Case Before
He Was Born.

The assurance with which You, Mr.
President, born In 1858, assume to have
discovered. the United States and IL
! policies is even mere astounding than
the policies themselves. You tell Us
! that the Monroe doctrine will be an
object of derision unless we lave q
mighty navy. The Monroe doctrine
was thirty-fve years old when you
were born, and doing remarkably well,
as it has been ever since You tell us
that without a still newer, still bigger
irst-class navy We must definitely
make up our minds to accept a secon-
dairy position, not only In political but
in commercial matters. When you cut
your first tooth we had the greatest
merchant marine In the world-greater
even than England's-and our navy
was Insignificant. Our mercantile ship
ping on blue water has steadily de-
clined under the restrictive policies
you favor, and 1t is smaller now than
1t was when the first keel of the new
navy was laid.
You tell us that under your leader
ship we have just become a world
power" What we're we-pardon the
personal Instantaneous than .
generation before you were born. whe~,
with only ten million people and a..
significant ornaments, we flung tia
Monroe doctrine into the teeth OF tAo
Holy Alliance?
Considering your intelligence and
your knowledge Of American history,
your attitude seems mystery. What
can be its explanation?
What can be the purpose of all these
shrieks for mighty army and navy,
these frenzied denunciations of Cow
ards" "weaklings" and "cravens," who
sordidly mind their own business In
stead of flying to arms, with no dis
cernible provocation these frantic.
wavings Of the mailed fist in the faces
of the nations? The spectacle is ex-
traordinary and bewildering. The
country is in no danger from any
power Of Europe. All the nations of
the Old World are watching each other,
afraid of each other, and infinitely
more in dread Of us. the terrifying
American Peril" than we could pos
Silly be Of them. Not one Of them
would dream of adding war with US
to its other dangers, II We gave 1t a
chance to escape. II we could stand
against England with our great arma-
ments ninety years ago, when we had
only eight million people, what have
we to fear now with eighty millions
and eight hundred times the resources
and power for war? From the New
York World.1

ELECTED A UNION SOLDIER.
Unusual Action by the Daugh.
ters Of the Contederacy.

st. Louis, Oct. 9-Aiter a briei
day session, the United Daughters oi
the Confederacy concluded their an.
nual convention last night. The
feature was the creation OF the office
OF honorary president general. to
which Mrs. Jefferson Davis was elect
ed. In the creation OF the Office, a
question arose about the PROPOSE.
ton that 1t would establish g prece.
dent and supersede the Office Of first
honorary president, occupied by
Mrs. NJ. G. Goodlett, Of Nashville,
Tenn, the founder Of the organiza.
ton. Mrs., Goodlett herself settled
the discussion by arising and accsd
ing to the plan. She said: II am
only one Of the daughters, while Mrs.
Davis Is the vile OF our first presi.
dent"
Another proposition that caused
much discussion was that Colonel
W. d. Knauss of Columbus, O., be
elected al honorary associate mem-
Der in recognition of the fact that be
had looked after the graves OF Con-
iederate soldiers buried at Camp
Chase, Ohio, and caused marking
stones, designating the graves, to be
placed. (.
The discussion ensusd by reason Of
bis having been q federal soldier and
1t was asserted that bis election to
associate membership would be an
act unprecedented in the annals Of
the organization. However, in view
Of the services rendered BY him, II
was finally decided to elect him a.
honorary associate member and the
convention did 90.

General Principles of American Free

In human and industrial freedom Of

Ing, self-respecting citizenship. regard

Democrats conclude not that the gen.
eral principles Of American freedom
should be reversed, but that they
should be continued. We would have
not less respect for law, but more re-
spect; not less freedom OF trade, but
more freedom; not less respect for the
rights Of her countries and races, but
more respect; not more. but less for

decrease in the proportion Of military
