President Roosevelts address to the
North Carolina Peace Society Is notable
for its revelation Of his conception Of our
proper naval policy. That conception. it
may be noted. has undergone a rapid pro-
gressive development since the feet was
ordered OH its journey around the world
Prior to that time our existing naval
force was quite sufficient for all our pur-
poses, but now an adequate armament
necessitates an unquestionably superior
naval power in the waters adjacent to
our possessions. and to further the cause
Of peace will require military and naval
preparedness to a far greater degree than
is at present the case" Either Mr.. Roose-
vet is a convert to the Hobson propa-
ganda. or Mr. Hobson gets his inspiration
from the White House. for the naval
theories of the two are as alike as peas
in a pod.
What does it mean 10 maintain an un-
questionsbly superior naval force on both
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans? Would
it take twice as many battle ships as we
now have. or five times as many? Great
Britain has ffty-two battle ships. Japan
thirteen, OF together four times as many
as now comprise onr Pacific fleet To
maintain a preponderant naval force in
the Pacific would require the retention in
those waters OF the entire force now
there. with additions from time to time TO
keep pace with the growth of the Japa-
nese navy. Inasmuch as We are now an
tagonizng Russian policy in Manchuria,
perhaps some one may urge that the feet
be capable Of coping with any two Asiatic
powers, since japan appears to be on the
same side OF our Manchurian controversy
as Russia. To maintain a preponderant
naval force in the Atlantic. according TO
the Hobsonian programme. would necessi-
tate an armada capable OF overpowering
any feet England would be theoretically
able 10 send against US without expos
ing herself 20 attack from the rear. We
have no doubt the naval experts have il
all figured out just how many ships are
needed for that purpose. but we imagine
it would be difficult TO get up much popu-
lar interest just a. the moment in any
proposition to build enough battle ships to
sink the British navy. That is a purely
academic proposition. fit for peace socie-
ties and Hobsonian lectures.
But what a beautiful idea il is. and
how 1t must have impressed those peace
loving Carolinians. that the more ardently

Humor with n Purpose.

Puck, one of the oldest and best-known
humorous publications in this country.
has entered a protest against being con-
sidered merely funny" Puck thinks it
is amusing-thats what IL wants to be:
but II wants the American people to un-
derstand that 1t aims to be humorous for
a specific purpose-it wants 10 be funny"
that it may point a way 10 higher and
better things.
Says Puck:
AT no time in its career has Puck been more
in eamest than the present; at no time has joci-
larity had mere serious basis. We believe that
the men who have discovered wrong and injustice
and cried It aloud have rendered their country an
incalcalabe service ard. further that there never
was greater need for their labos than the pres
ent moment. when a hafswakened public conscience
is debating whether to turn over and go TO sleep
We believe that all humor worth while
has serious basis; and Pucks ambition
to be considered publication humorous
for a purpose is most commendable.
There is no more powerful weapon for
the righting Il wrongs than well-directed
fun; the light and airy handling Of a
topic often points many a moral not to
be discerned otherwise. II the forces Of
reform are to be backed by the humorists
whose intents are serious and whose mo-
tives are sincere. then indeed. will re-
form and civic uplift be accelerated.
Besides al of that. every ambitious
publication wants. or should want. to
leave its imprint on affairs; no man
should be content TO write for the mo-
ment only. There is no reason why ex-
clusively humorous periodicals should not
have an ultimate object worth while in
view all the time. The cartoonist. always
humOrOus-h his work is ever impressive
has ever before him a definite goal to-
ward which he would direct ones
thoughts. To our way of thinking. Puck
is right in its announced resolve-ever-
lastingly right It aiigns Itself with the
more powerful agents Of progress toward
higher things when It declares it viii be
humorous-but with an exact and ap-
proved purpose ever ahead.
