Laddie, the thoroughbred collie own ed by Col. Charles H. Ledward, pre- vented a burglary at the Ledward res idence in Spruce street "Wednesday night. The colonel was out of town and Mrs. Ledward locked the doofs before retiring, and on this point she is positive, as she tested the doors after the locking process. During the night she was awakened by the bark ing of Laddie. and she heard retreat ing footsteps. Laddie continued to bark and Mrs. Ledward went down. stairs to investigate. The door was unlocked and just ajar and Laddie WAS in crouching position, as if ready lo spring at any intruder. The dog did guard duty the balance of the night and left his post reluctantly Thursday morning.

Representative Gardeners resolu-
ton for an Investigation of the pre-
paredness of the United States for a
defensive war has met with little ia
vor. 1t was clearly conceived to Gre
ate a political issue and designed to
force the Democratic congress to in
crease it's appropriations for the arm.
and navy. The increased expendi-
lures would be followed sby an attack
upon the Democratic congress, for its
extravaganza.
If the United States army, the
United States navy and the United
States coast defenses are all made
quate, the blame certainly does not
rest upon President Wilson or the
Democratic party.
1t rests upon the Republican party
which under Mckinley, Roosevelt anf
Taft was in continuous control of the
government for sixteen years up tc
March T.. 1913.
In 1908, the last year of the Roos'
evelt administration, the appropria'
lions for the army were $78,634,5S2.-
Is; the appropriations for the ma
Wy were $9s,95S, 5O7.5o. In 1914 the
appropriations for the army were
$94,266, 145.51; the appropriations for
the navy were $140,71S,43453.
We are spending over $40,000,000 a
year more OF the navy than we spent
when Roosevelt was president, and
$18,000,0O00 year more on the
army.

an, who is undoubtedly the most in
fluential member Of the national
Democratic party, or with Tammany
Hall, which is still the dominating
factor in New York Democratic poll
tics?
Will Raymond Robins work hand in
hand with Roger Sullivan and Carter
Harrison, who divided, though they
do not share, the Democratic strength
in Illinois? -.
The men who voted the Progressive
ticket this year Will not be deliver
ed en- bloc to one party or another.
Nor will they unreasonably follow
mere plausible appeals for their sup
port.
In 1916 they will be guided by con-
ditions of 1916 as in 1912 they were
guided by the conditions Of 1912, and
in 1908 were guided by the conditions
Of that year.
II we have another convention like
the one of 1912 we will have another
election like the one of 1912.
Much will depend on the conduct Of
Republican leaders between. now and
the next election. Much will depend
upon the Republican nominations
If the Republican leaders in con-
gress and througout the states show
superiority of integrity and intel
igence over the Democrats, and if a
candidate representative of the best
spirit of the nation is nominated for
president, he may expect the votes of
the bulk Of the Progressives.
But if the malign influence Of 1912
reasserts itself in 1915, not only the
Progressive voters of 1914 and 1912
will stay away but the bulk Of the
Republican voters will follow them.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Since President Wilson has been
in office his messages to Congress
have always dwelt upon subjects vi
tai to the nation at the time they
were delivered. He urged tariff re-
form when we needed it; currency
legislation when it was necessary ane
his message to Congress yesterday
gives to the country the element it
now needs most, He
allays the fears Of those who were
alarmed by the jingoes, lest we were
in a state of naval and military I'M
preparedness, and in no position to
defend ourselves if attacked. He
gives notice to the business world
that the Legislative program Of the
administration, as it affects the reg
! ulation of business, is practically
4 completed and has resulted IN
clear road to unclouded success
The legislative program for the
short session includes the passage OF
the conservation bills, the bills for
the ultimate independence Of the
Philippines, a government owned
merchant marine, and measures for
economy in all branches Of the gov
eminent.
!, A clear, conservative and reason
able program is outlined and one
that should and will meet with uni
versal approval.

CANADA AND MONROE.

An Australian paper declares that
, If William Howard Taft is correct,
and that the United States would
not be bound to protect Canada from
German attack, there is nothing to
the Monroe doctrine. The Australian
is not logical. If it bases it's opin-
ion on Mr.. Tafts utterances it should
bear in mind that he distinctively de-
clared that there is a Monroe doctrin
and that no nation would be allowed
to change the form Of any American
government. 1t is also well to- re-
member, although the Melbourne edit
or passes lightly over this feature as
OF no consequence, that for four years
William Howard Taft was president
of the United States of America, and
charged with the duty of interpreting
and applying that doctrine. He is
quite generally considered in Ameri-
ca to be foremost authority on in
ternational laws and there is preva-
lent belief that, if vacancy should
tor any reason occur on the supreme
bench, Mr.. Taft would be elevated by
President Wilson as tribute to his
learning and poise.
The United States would be acting
the part of an incompetent nation if
it took thu position that Canada may
make war on Germany and Austria or
any other nations and would still be
entitled to protection against those
she was fighting. Canada is not a
treaty power and is not American. Pc
1itically she Is part of the British
empire and is ruled from London, jus
as the Bahamas, Jamaica, Newfound-
land, and lesser islands are rul-
ed. Canada has the guarantee that
the United States will not attack and
that no nation will be allowed to at
tack through American territory. AS
attack from the north is at all times
and as Alaska interposes
barrier on the northwest and west,
Canada's problem of defense is reduc-
ed to rather simple matter.
The Monroe doctrine belongs to
the United States, will be interpret
I'd by the United States.-The Ga
