ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL.

Last week the Senate passed bill
appropriating $19O,OOO,O0O for the
army. This sum far exceeds any other
appropriation for the army, and some
people are inclined to regard the lib
eral allowance of the Senate as evil
dence that our peace policy will soon
be changed. 1t is difficult to interpret
in any other light unless we recall
certain improvements in the army
which have been advocated for some
time. II will be recalled that recently
Major General Wood pointed out the
fact that the government was extreme
" short on ammunition, and that in
the event We should have to go to war
our army would be OF no service out
on the field with empty guns. Thus
some of the money appropriated
might well be used in supplying am
munition for the soldiers.
Then, too, it has been revealed that
our seacoast defense is inadequate,
and it is thought advisable to build
this up now and not wait until actual
difficulties should make it necessary.
Doubtless a few OF the millions appro-
priated will go to building up a de-
tense for the Panama Canal, which
will be in line with a business admin
istration. The canal has cost us an
inconceivable sum of money, and to
throw it open to the breast OF an enc
my would be the height of folly. Our
army appropriation this year is some
thing like a hundred million dollars
more than it was last year; but no
ominous significance should be attach
ed to this as It merely represents de-
ferred OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Daily

side OF the penitentiary who, we think,
are entitled to preference in legisla.
tive enactments over those who are on
the inside.
We realize that these and other
problems now confronting the State
require craftsmanship Of high order
to deal intelligently and effectively
with them and the support in its va.
rious ramifications is of sufficient i'm.
port to engage the most able minds
and occupy the time of many sessions
OF the Legislature.
In closing let us say: These con.
ditions challenge the craftsmanship OF
the age. We must select leaders
whose ears are attunded to the song
of the plow, the music of growing
things and the melody of the harvest.
Only the strong should shoulder the
burden, the swift enter the race, and
the brave lead the battle. 1t will not
do to choose leaders who will cover
under the lash of fear, tremble before
the phantom OF superstition, kneel and
kiss the skirts OF fame and fondle the
hand OF ambition. We need men,
strong and powerful, who can rise
