Peace Costs More Than War.

1t costs this world far more to keep
the peace than to be engaged in active
conflict. More money is spent by the
combined powers and outside nations
on the maintenance of their armies and
navies than the ordinary civilian would
care to thing about.

spending the @ost on its army The
latest estimate of their expenditure
works out roughly to esq, 40 500 Ger
many comes next, spending something
like S50,9S4, 500 on its army. England,
of course, leads the way in naval ex-
penditures. spending on it's fleet almost
as much as Germany on her army.
Turkey found to her cost that 60
SOC. 900 was too little % spend on her
army. Yet Spain spends still less. but
makes up for this by spending double
as much on her navy.
France spends far more on its army
than the navy devoting 946, 800 900 to
the former and about half that amount
to the latter.
The United States combined total for
6 0,670, 500, but this must be consider

TAFT. THE CITIZEN.

AS a private citizen, former Presi-
dent Taft is distinguishing himself
points out the Washington Post, and
it continues: From the very day when
the votes revealed the fact that he
had not been reelected to succeed
himself, be has uttered no complaint.
His speeches after election were filled
with philosophy and good humor. He
did not become cynical, nor did he at
tack any of the candidates who ran
against him. Taking up his home at
New Haven a lecturer on law at
Yale, the former president has lived
quietly, making no attack of any kind
on the Democratic party or the prin-
ciples it is putting into practice. Prob
ably he feels that the Democrats are
adding to their burdens. The way the
cost of living refuses to come down,
although his opponents promised to
bring it down, might furnish him an
excellent text, but apparently he is
loath to take it.
The former president has said re-
peatedly that the Democratic party
should have its chance. Others were
not so charitable when he signed the
Payne Aldrich bill, which was at
tackled long before it was tried out.
1t is characteristic of Mr.. Taft's
bigness that he should consider him
self citizen of New Haven, and, as
such, come here to appeal for a new
postoffice. This may be described as
lobbying but called by that name

day and night, throughout the month.
Every minute four passengers landed,
on the average, at American ports. In
a year such a rate would pile up the
enormous total of 2,160,000, in round
figures. That, of course, is too high be-
cause the winter movement is much
lighter than that of July month by
month. But on the other hand the sta
tistics of seaport arrivals make no al
lowance for the passengers who cross
the border from Canada and Mexico.
All routes considered it is safe to say
that 100000 persons will enter this
country in 1913, either to remain per-
manently or to stay a few days, weeks
or months This is tremendous bust
