POWER. WE MUST EXPECT
TO SPEND MONEY.

While the talk about war with ia
pan was never seriously taken by
thoughtful and welI-informed people,
1t had the effect of directing attention
to the defenseless condition OF our
outlying possessions. In 1898 Admir-
al Dewey had no difficulty whatever
In sailing into Manila bay with his
fleet and in an Incredibly short time
he had in effect captured the great
archipelago The shore defenses were
nothing. They are scarcely better
now, and IL few hostile battleships
were to sail into the harbor, of Ma
Mia. 1t would simply be useless loss
of life to resist them. Honolulu has
been equally defenscless. 1t may be
true that the Philippine Islands and
the Hawaiian lslands are in no dan
ger of any attack; still, 1t is not
deemed good policy to leave them
open MS temptation TO aggressors
For this reason the army estimates
are greatly distended by acquisitions
for money to do work that should
have been done long ago. 1t Is a
misfortune to the taxpayers of the
United States that they should be
burdened with the defense of the
philippines. But the taxpayers seem
to favor holding on to the "colonles."
and If we are TO hold on to them, we
should pay the necessary bills to keep
an army In the antipodes. we should
at least build suitable quarters to pro-
tect tho soldiers from the the trcp!-
cal sun and the tropical rains. In
case OF war 1t would ln nue..
cheaper to have coast defenses to re-
pei an attack than to surrender the
islands and then engage in protract-
ed campaigns TO recover them. as ma
tional spirit and priue would ccmnel.
IL Is far cheaper and more prudent
to have sufficient coast defenses to
protect our seaports in Continental
Emitted States than to leave them as
4 prey to sudden attack.
1t might be supposed that in the
course OF nature there would be some
diminution of the Civil War pension
DIST, which still requires n half mil
non dollars n day, exclusive of Sun
uays. That might leave more money
FOR the army and navy. to build ships
ana Notifications and to give soldiers
better pay. But as the veterans die,
Congress can be trusted to keep the
pension appropriations up by new
laws.
While the size OF the military bud
get-that 1T. the estimates OF the War
and Navy Derartments-has excited
wonder 1t must not be forgotten that
a large part OF those estimates are
Tor the uses OF peace. and not for
war. Conspicuous among these non
military objects are the estimates for
the deepening OF channels leading in
10 the principal seaports and for riv-
err and harbor improvements. one
reason why the estimates are in
creasing year by year Is that Con-
gress ignores them and needs are ac-
