Without knowledge, technical. po-
litical; without making pause to
study the needs or requirements of
our great country; Just speaking on
impulse from the depths of most
loving ignorance, had l the power to
bestow upon the nation a gift, the
Christmas sun should rise upon the
majestic, menacing beauty of a new
fleet of warships, all stately in their
fighting coats of sullen gray-the
war paint of the attended by a
cloud of colliers; a great new fleet of
warships for the A tlantic coast, to
properly balance it's glorius twin On
the Pacific coast, says Clara Morris
in symposium, elf l Were a Ma
tional Santa ClausE'' in the Decem-
Der delineator. At present the coun-
try is like the American eagle with
one great wing perfect and the other
clipped. He does wonders with his
one free wing it is true, but give
him twO-a fleet for each coast-and
see him rise, and with perfect poise
and balance soar high into clear,
calm spaces he has never known be-
fore; while if attacked he could batter
off with mighty blows even the
dOuble-headed imperial eagles of
other lands. With such a navy we
would have no need to be so pug
nacious of manner, so cockily boast
full, and so irritably ready to see a
chip upon neighbor's shoulder,
whether there or not. For with such
blessed preparedness for defense in
case of war, there would come to the
nation a serenity, a patience and a
dignity, a wisdom and clear sighted
ness, that, with the country's soul
"subject unto higher powers, would
lift America high in the estimation
of the worlds powers.
Whimperers fear such strength
would make us a hated and warlike
people. For answer, look at some
of the results of our present navy's
amazing itinerary. Not in hundred
years has such missionary work been
done. 1t has spread a veritable
gospel of friendship, of understand
ing, of mutual respect, between itself
and its hosts; nay, between the very
nations each represent apparently a
new respect has come from America S

the smile fade and the fighting faces
appear; Only at the cOuntry's need

and one great feet-so truly would

WHY UNCLE SAM FAILED.

The conspicuous failure of tho Unit
ed States to get q share of foreign
trade, because manufacturers have
failed to make the goods that other ma
tons want, have failed to pack ship
ments properly and have refused to ac-
cept the terms ON which other nations
do business, seems likely to be brought
to an end by the efforts of the Illinois
Manufacturers association and their
example. The first step has been TAX

Bill Debated.

The agricultural appropriation bill was
taken up by the Senate today shortly aft
er II o'clock In accordance with an agree
ment by the Senate Saturday that t
measure should be voted on before ad-
journment today.
Senator Fulton of Oregon moved an
amendment that hereafter % per cent
OF all money received annually from for

states or territories in which the
reserves are located to DC expended
as the legislatures shall direct for the
public Schools or public roads of the
counties in which the reserves are sit
uated. In the past only 10 per cent of
