The idea Of presenting a united
front is not now, and never has
been, adequately considered.
AS against all the world we
have certain natural and certain
acquired advantages, and in re-
spect to particular nations we are
at certain disadvantages.
To Extend Our Markets.
Every country able to do so is
fully and capably exploiting these
our disadvantages. Whether it be
Germany or France, Venezuela or
Brazil each has found that par
ticular weak spot in our tariff ar
NOR which concerns it and each
is driving the knife in full up to
the hilt.
But we fritter away our advan.
tages and we fight among our
selves.
Reciprocity is the policy. To
give other nations an open way to
our markets in the things we need.
and to secure in full return an
open way to their markets for our
most desired product. This is the
fair, reasonable policy. A reduce
ton Of the tariff may be a good
thing. AN EXTENSION OF OUR
MARKETS is CERTAINLY A
GOOD THING.
If We can get the extension OF
our markets while we are getting
the reduction of our tariff we will
undoubtedly be doing a wise and
beneficial thing. THERE SEEMS
NO OTHER WAY IN WHICH
WE CAN DO THIS so LOCI
CALLY AND so SURELY AS

STATE LIFE INSURANCE
TRIED OUT IN WISCONSIN.
Man Who Drafted Law Authorizing
System Gets the First Policy.

The first policies in a state life in
surance fund in America have just
been issued by the insurance depart
ment of Wisconsin. Former Speaker
Charles A. Ingram of Durand, who in
troduced the bill in the 1911 session to
create state insurance, received the
first policy.
Applications came from several
states, but under the law policies may
be issued only to residents of Wiscon-
sin.
The lawmaking provision for state
life insurance was enacted after the
idea had been worked out by Commits
sioner of Insurance Ekern and a leg
islative committee. A study had been
made of similar laws in Germany,
Great Britain, Italy and Belgium.
No policy is issued for a larger
amount than $1,000. When the num-
Der of policy holders reaches 1000 the
maximum policy will be issued for
$1,000, and when the number reaches
1000 the maximum policy will be for
$4,000, the highest amount authorized.
Existing governmental machinery
will be used in the administration of
the law without the creation of addi-
tional offices. No paid agents will be
employed.

that all the great nations join in
naval holiday" the same being a
period of a year or more, during which
the powers shall refrain from build
ing battleships, comes the news that
the first keel plates of the great super
Dreadnought Pennsylvania, destined
to be the most powerful fighting ma
chine in the world, have been laid at
Newport News, Va. Almost stimuli
taneously the battleship Texas, just
completed and at present the largest
war vessel afloat, justifies the predic-
tions of her builders by averaging a
speed Of 21.12S knots on the five high
speed runs which marked the climax
of her Standardization trial at Rock
land, Me.
From all the rest of the world news
comes also of increased activities in ma
val construction. Nearly all the naval
programs of the great powers contem-
plate the building of from one to five
battleships annually for the next five
years. Even New Zealand is planning
a navy of her own, the first step in
this direction being the building of a
cruiser of the Bristol type of 4,S00 tons
displacement to cost 100000, which
on occasion may become a part of the
formidable fleet of Great Britain.
Germany, too, will adhere to her eX-
listing program of naval construction

BARS PHOTOS IN WATCHES.
Illinois Central Issues an Efficiency
Order to Operating Employees.

No longer may engineers, conductors,
brakemen and other employees in the
operating department of the Illinois
Central railroad carry pictures of their
wives, sweethearts and babies on their
watch crystals. An order against the
practice has just been issued by the
management.
Of1cials of the company have decided
that such pictures are likely to dis
tract the attention Of employees from
their work, and that accidents might
result. The order also specifies plain
dials Of uniform design.
''This rule may seem TO be a small

but a bagatelle compared to what the

ing OF Two OattleSnlpS year.
'Naval Holiday" Impractical.
Unofficially the kaiser's experts de-
clare the suggestion of the British
statesman to be impractical. The Ger
man fleet, they assert, is for defensive
purposes only and as such must be
maintained in a condition capable of
protecting the coasts of the father
land against possible enemies.
That the German naval experts are
not without justification for the stand
they have taken is evidenced by the
report of a new invention lately tried
out by the British government, by
means of which a mine may be ex-
ploded at a distance of several miles
without wires or other connecting ap-
paratus. This, in view of the fact that
a clash between John Bull and the
kaiser is the ever recurring bugbear
of the German and British publics re-
the alleged need of defensive fleet
for the German coast, to say nothing
of the fact that England's naval con-
struction program includes the build
ing Of at least four Dreadnoughts a
year for several years to come.
Yet while other nations besides Ger
many have thus far turned a deaf ear
to the suggestion of the British first
lord of the admiralty, at the same time
in nearly every country there may be
found a steadily growing sentiment in
its favor Indeed, there is scant doubt
but that this feeling will take some
definite form in the near future.
Daniels Indorses Suggestions.
Secretary of the Navy Josephus Dan
iels in a recent interview strongly ad-
vocated the Churchill plan as a means
of reducing the annually increasing
naval budget of every nation and the
added taxation which it necessitated.
Economic reasons alone, he asserted,
kven without considering those tend
tng toward world peace, dictated the
advisability of worldwide agreement
between all first class nations to close
or at least curtail the construction of
battleships for a stipulated period.
81 believe such an agreement must
be made sooner or later for economic
reasons" the secretary declared. ''The
hysteria OF naval preparations is prov
ing too great burden for the people,
We ourselves are spending about -$14O.-
100000 annually on our navy and an
Sdual amount on our army. and that is

Larger Navy Unnecessary.


"Now that the canal is nearing COM
pletion and the day is near at hand
when ships will sail from San Fran
cisco to the Caribbean in about 240
hours, as against the /. 1.S24 hours it took
the Oregon to sail around Cape Horn,
we are told that the building of the
canal demands twice as large a navy
as formerly and that control of the
canal demands a large standing army
on the isthmus.
"The canal will not double the eff
fectiveness of our navy, but it will
greatly increase its ability to defend
every part of the coast on the Pacific
as well as the Atlantic. 1t will not
virtually multiply the numbers of the
army"
Yet even if the canal will not great
ly augment the sea power of the Unit
ed States, except as regards coast de-
fense, there is no reason why battle
ship construction should not be cur
tailed. 1t only remains for some of
the powers to show the way.

naval expenditures of $375,OOO,00O a
year and warning the nation of the in
evitably heavy increase in armament
if the rivalry continued.
After making his plea for a universal
naval holiday" Mr.. Churchill express
ed the opinion that if Great Britain
and Germany took the lead all the 9th
er great countries would follow suit,
and they would all be just as great
and as sound as if they had built the
ships at present projected.
Feasibility of Plan.
If Austria and italy did not build the
obligation, he said, would be removed
from France and Great Britain, and
the fact that the triple alliance Ger
many, Austria-Hungary and italy was
just now building no ships would make
the proposal possible without the
slightest danger or risk.
That no one will take issue with Mr..
Churchill on the question of the benefit
accruing to the world if his suggestion
should be adopted is self evident. The
problem lies in its feasibility, at pres
ent at least.
Great navies are rising everywhere.
France, Russia, the United States, ia
pan, even Greece and the South
American states, to say nothing of
Austria-Hungary and Italy, in addition
to England and Germany, are spending
millions on naval construction.
The difficulty will be to set a time
far enough in the future and yet not
too remote to be of practical value to
the present generation when all the
nations will find it convenient to ar
rest for a time their naval develop
ment.
! In the meantime the shipyards of ev-
cry nation will be busy turning out
great war machines, which, despite
their enormous cost, become obsolete
within but little more than the time it
takes to build one of them.
AS far as the United States is con-
cerned, the annual naval budget will
probably not be much changed, al
though the completion of the Panama
canal will add much to the effective
ness of our navy in some respects.
/ Canal Strengthens Navy.
Far from greatly adding to the sea
power Of the United States, however,
the canal will really be a negligible
factor, although 1t was formerly claim
ed that its opening would double the
navy's effectiveness. But 1t will in
crease its possibilities for coast de-
| fense vastly.
In this connection Secretary Daniels
! recently asserted that the canal, while
adding much greater mobility to our
fleets, would not greatly increase their
strength except as defenders Of our
coasts.
