SACRIFICE THE NAVY
DEMOCRATIC POLICY AGAINST IN
TEREsTs OF THE COUNTRY.
Leaders Are Playing Dangerous
Game and the Voters Understand
Fully the Reasons Which
Have Actuated Them.

The Democrats in control OF the low
er house Of congress are apparently
esperate in their determination to
make a showing for economy before
the voters OF the country in the presl-
Dental campaign. Having wasted q
considerable sum OF money in fu-
tile attempt TO find, by means of man
Investigations, scandals which could
be saddled upon the last two Repub
hcan administrations, they applied The
knife mercilessly to the appropria
ton bill
The most noteworthy omission IL
the bill as II came from committee IL
the absence OF an appropriation for
new batleships. The plan upon
which congress has been proceeding
for some time past contemplates two
OF them each year. This is a mod
est program, for. at the rate that for
eign navies are being strengthened.
It would ensure nothing more than
that this country would retain its
relative position among maritime
powers.
The Democratic congressman are
playing a dangerous game They are
seizing upon the outcry against the
needlessness and devastation of war
and the. heavy expense entailed In
the maintenance OF effective navies a
an excuse for a policy whose real OF.
Ject Is temporary party advantage
Most Of them, as practical men, real
ize the position this country would
be In II 1t did not have a navy strong
in comparison with the fleets OF En-
rope and Japan. They know that tho
Monroe doctrine is only as strong as
the navy.
They know what would have hap
pened II. when war was declared on
Spain in response to wave OF angeg
which swept over the United States
the Spanish navy had been as for
midable as 1t seemed to be on pape-
and that OF this country had been
small and poorly equipped. The
know that the Panama canal, the Ha-
waiian islands and the Philippines
may, at any time, need naval protec-
ton.
Navies and armies are a public bur
den and the world would be better
off without war. But SO are police
men. marshals and deputy sheriffs a
public burden, and law-breaking is
wrong and unreasonable. Yet the
most enthusiastic and eloquent advo
Gates OF the disarmament OF the ma
ton have not yet declared for the diS
carding of police officers. They cah
see what is required for their pers0n-
al protection. even II they are unable
to perceive what Is needed for the
protection Of this country and those
over which It has established a guard
ianship.

Under Republican Rule.

In 1880 the savings banks deposits
In the United States were only twice
as large as those in Great Britain
but now they are four times as large
and the savings bank deposits in New
York state alone. with 9,113,279 inhab
ftants. are so per cent larger than
those in the United Kingdom, with
45,ooo,oOO inhabitants. Per head OF
population. New York state has $16s

Britain has only s2i in the savings

The "Referendum" Decision.

We do not suppose anyone Is sur
prised at the unanimous decision Of
the Supreme Court OF the United
States declaring that Congress. and
not the judiciary, has the right and
authority to decide whether or not q
particular form of state government
Is republican"
The question, as the chief Justice
said with justiflable impatience and
irritation. was settled many years ago,
and there could be no reasonable
doubt upon the point Able and high
priced lawyers will, however, argue
even absurd propositions before any
tribunal If any client win ask them to
do so-and foot the bills
The initiative and referendum may
or may not be necessary or desirable
In the United States as check upon
legislatures. But the people OF the
states are entirely free to adopt these
Institutions. Some states have adopted
them, and Congress has very naturally
and properly admitted their senators
and representatives Republican" is
q term well known to mean anti
monarchical and anti-oligarchical. Any
popular government is republican
What the people have to decide is
whether this or that republican form
is wise. expedient. likely to prove
stable and successful. The judiciary
cannot decide this for them.

Louisiana.

The Republican party as an organiza
ton has ceased to exist in Louisiana
Having polled less than ten per cent
OF the vote of the state at the elections
held in April, It has forfeited its fran
chise and Is no longer entitled to avail
itself Of the provisions Of the primary
relating to the nomination OF candi
dates for office.
Under the atrocious system now In
vogue. Louisiana is entitled to &c
votes in the Republican national con
yention. Now. observe how that ar
rangement operates. II means tina,
this hotten borough constituency will
exactly balance the convention
strength OF the two 1ourishing Repub
lican states of North Dakota and Ore
gon, each OF which has ten delegates.
In the presidential election of 1906
the Republican vote in Louisiana was
S.95s. Nm North Dakota 1t was 81 $50
and in Oregon $3.50. In other words
the l20.210 Republicans OF North Da
kota and Oregon will have the same
representation in the Chicago conven
ton as the s,95S Republicans of Loui
siana and no more,-Cleveland Lead

Therefore Stable Government

Business Is the concern OF all-small
and great, young and old, men, women
and children. What affects the man
who is at the head of any organized
business deleteriously affects every
body who gets living out of that
business. He who does not understand
this simply fails to grasp the great law
OF interdependence upon which every
form OF business, whether it be manu-
featuring, trade or commerce. is based.
Business prosperity means. prosperity
for the working millions, and what
ever interferes with or obstructs or
tends to overthrow activity III all
branches of business hits first of all
and hardest of all the people who
work for wages.

Question to TakA H.,

The Republican national committee
should take up without delay the ques-
ton OF uniform and simultaneous pri-
maries throughout the country. The
Republican national convention should
decide what is to be party's policy
hereafter as to the method of nomi-
nation. The Democratic national COM
mittee and the Democratic national
convention should do the same thing.
Important in the extreme is this equal
ization, which means the proper pro
portioning of the voice of the parties.
