on what action should follow the
warning Hobson uttered, was evident
by the fact that they gave 10 him
more time for boosting his plank pro
viding for coast defenses and more
battleships than was allotted 10 the
men who pleaded for the provision in
the platform for Improvement OF the
rivers and harbors OF the country
Hobson told the committee on reso-
luiions that war Is not alone newt
able. but that IT Is now imminent.
They pjarty In power. he argued, will
be held responsible for the outcome
OF that war. The party now In power
Is responsible for the present condi-
lions OF coast defenses. but that will
not relieve the party incumbent in
war time from responsibility for the
outcome
The lack OF preparation entails re-
taliation," said Capt. Hobson. 1t Is
not unlikely that war will come be
fore the next Democratic national
convention il held and 1t is more than
likely that our party will be in power
when that war comes. That war. i.
II finds us without preparation. will
be the ground upon which the Demo
cratic party will be held in power for
hundred years.

PRESIDENT GEORGE

President George, of the Board of
Education. announces that there will
be no changes In the committees this
year He will reappoint them just as
they stand at the next meeting,

spector Burton, recognized as one or
the boards most competent and con-
scientious members, will be ignored
entirely. He was on the real estate
and judiciary committees last year,
until his election as delegate to the
constitutional convention made nee
essary his temporary retirement as an
inspector, when the vacancies in the
committees were filled by tried and
true administration adherents.
Mr.. Burton, at recent meeting or
the board, told Mr.. George frankly,
before the entire board, that what
that body needed was "a president
who would preside" and friends OF
Burton believe that George Is taking
this means OF getting back" at the
inspector from the second.

Pearson Hobson, erstwhile hero. but
now on the threshold OF statesman
ship. went before the Democratic ma
timal committee on resolutions and
painted a picture as he saw II. The
members OF the committee went with
him into the future; they were fascl
mated by his prophesies and when he
finished they sighed involuntarily-as
the audience of theater does on the
reading OF tense dramatic situa-
ton.
Hobson painted the picture OF war
yello wman, powerful, grinning with
confidence with blood OF conques,
still dripping wet: lips thin and
drawn with cruelty and eyes like
burning Goals with the territory greed
that glowed within them, was the al
legorical representation Hobson dis
played TO Democracy.
The figure OF war was Japan. It's
creator justified its place in politi

next party in power. according to his
visions must cope with the ravages
