POOR PLACE TO ECONOMIC
Democrats VIII Gain Little by Thei.
Parsimonlous Dealing with
Naval Affairs.

What howl there would be If un
expectedly this country should be
thrown into war with one of the
great powers and our navy should ba
found inadequate to meet the situa
tion! When the people of the coun,
try protested against the lack of pre-
paredness that permitted the first few
reverses, what answer could con
gress make to the charge OF negli
gence?
1t is all very well to say that there
Is no danger OF war with one OF the
big powers. We're there such dan.
ger at present. the country might well
pause before adopting big naval
program that might hasten the crisis
If tho United States should prepare
itself now, however. its action would
not be open to misconstruction or tho
cause of fears abroad.
The assertion of Secretary Meyer
before the house naval affairs com.
mittee that Japan In 1915 will have
wrested the position OF third naval
power from the United States and
that this country will have difficulty
in maintaining itself In fourth place
unless two battleships are authorized
each year. should give pause to those
who are trying to effect economies at
the expense OF the navy.
The suggestion that a country so
rich as the United States should vol.
untary take fourth place in the rank
ing Of the world powers is retiec-
ton on the progressiveness OF those
who have the power to make the pol
icy OF the nation. II such economy is
designed as an appeal for votes at
the coming election, It will not work.
The people want an economical gov
ernment, but they do not want to en-
danger either the prestige or the
safety of the country.
Congress ought to realize that tho
people OF this nation are patriotic as
well as progressive. The tariff. over
which the Democrats are showing SO
much concern, could not rouse the
people to the pitch where they would
be willing to lay down their lives
either for or against 1t. For the pro
lection of the nation. however. mil
lions of men would come forward. is
It likely, then, that the people will
applaud the elimination OF two bat
tleships, which win force this nation
into fourth place and probably still
lower? In a test between economy
and patriotism the latter will win
every time, and the Democrats should
keep this in mind when the fight over
the navy bill is waged on the floor oi

Arthur Brisbane, the editor, praised,
at dinner in New York, the educa-
tive value OF moving pictures.
But, of course" he said afterwards,
the moving picture will never equal
the newspaper as an educative force.

news-in dull seasons 1t makes news
as well. A famous editor put this
