RATTLEsHIPs ARE INSURANCE.
Nothing Costs Nation More Than
Military Unpreparedness.

Some of our prudent statesmen IN
congress, who are never alarmed over
the millions which are annually rolled
in the pork barrels" 70 home dis
|tricts for political purposes, are des-
|perately afraid that our expenditures
upon battleships will bankrupt the
country. But the patriotic and intel
|ligent citizens of the United states
know that military unpreparedDess
has cost the country not millions, put
billions of money-though even that
did not bankrupt it.
When the United States maintains
an adequate sea power 1t Is taking out
insurance against foreign aggressions
that might be tempted by our UMPIRE
paredness Those insurance pre-
imiums-the cost of building battle
ships and of preserving the navy at
a high eficiency-are paid out OF
the current income from year to year.
No bankruptcy is incurred and no
bankruptcy is threatened when those
expenditures are out of such income
Ion the contrary. bankruptcy is pro-
yided against when the nation thus
takes measures, easily paid for from
year to year, to safeguard the country
from attack and stress in war, mat
would pile a crushing debt upon the
people. to be extinguished only with
generations of enormous payments. as
in the case of the Civil war. running
before the end into billions upon bill
lions.
Supporting a fire department at
comparatively slight cost from year
TO year so as TO prevent hideous loss
of life and vast destruction of proper
ty that must be suffered through I'M
preparedness against fire is not an
extravaganza by a city, must less a
bid for municipal bankruptcy. No
more is the support of navy ade-
quate to protect the country from the
ravages Of a foreign foe.
In government, as in private busi-
ness, there are shoutsighted econo-
mics of the moment that put a pre-
MUM upon incalcuiable extravagances
| of the future Our own history, the
history of the world. shows that
there is nothing which costs people
more than the military unprepared-
mess which comes from the blind poi.
