UNCLE SAM SHOULD RULE THE SEA

OF the many highly instructive lessons % be taken from the Euro
pean war by American statesmen, appeal with more convincing
force than the importance OF increasing u navy and the establishment
of a merchant marine, the operations OF which would be extensive and
worldwide Events during the very inception Of the European strug
gle, now matters Of history, conclusivey prove our need of a greater
navy.
Colossal forces being modified and utilized by allied European
nations such as history has never before recorded, is ample evidence
OF possible future combinations Of Old World nations against the
United States. If this nation were today confronted by either OF the
allied forces facing each other o n the other side Of the Atlantic, we
would plainly feel the insignhcance OF II navy as compared with the
fleets Of the opposition.
First, a navy for protection; then a merchant marine, to succeed
the great liner companies that "a wealthy from business nat should
be carried en- by the government. The profits Of the latter would soon
compensate for the original cost of both. Public ownership of pubic
in favor. Municipal railways, suggested state and national railways
which in turn argue eloquenty and logically in favor OF a merchant
marine. The track of the deep belongs to the world, and never needs
repairing. Ocean liners and merchantmen are less expensive than rail-
way equipment Our ports and vessels guarded by the greatest navy IN
the cas-, which this nation will provide sooner " later; IL diversified
industries throbbng with activity; our mines sending out their millions
to garn the world with golden gain; IL farms producing lav1shly
from the fertility thereof; on people all busy, wellfed and clothed
and properly sheltered; enjoying educational and church advantages,
and sustaining the creates. and richest commerce tina earth las known
is a destiny to strive and pray for-Wesern Opinion.

AVOID FOREIGN ENTANGLEMENTs

George Washington, the father OF this country and its first president,
upon his retirement IRON that office, ave the nation o advice which
is as sound today as when uttered.
Following is a portion OF his address o congress upon his retire
ment alter serving a second term:
Observe good fHth n justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace
and harmony with all Religion and morality enjon this conduct; aid
can it De that good policy does not enon it?
so likewise 4 passionate attachment of on nation for another
produces a variety OF evls-sympathy for the favorite nation, faciitat-
ing the illusion OF a imaginary common nteIest in cases where real
interest exists, and infusing into II the enmites OF the other, betrays
the former inoa participation in the quarrels and wars OF the latter
without adequate inducement or Justification.
The great rule OF conduct for US in regard to foreign nations is,
in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little
gagements let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let US
stop.
Our detached and distant situation invites and enables us to pursue
a different course.
If W e remnn IL people, under a efficient government, the
period is not far off when we may defy material injury from external
annoyance; when W e may take such an attitude as will cause the
neutrality We may at any time resolve upon to be scrupulousy respect
ed; when beligerent nations, under the Imposibiity OF making acquisi-
tons upon u.s., will no lightly hazard the giving us provocauon; when
we may choose peace or wal, "a L interest guided by justice shall
counsel y 4 y :"
Why, by Intervening our destiny with that OF any part of Europe,
entangle II peace and prosperity in the tolls OF European ambition,
rivalship, interest, humor or caprice?
IT'S our true policy to steer clear OF permanent alliances with any
portion OF the foreign world.
There cn be no greater error than to expect or calculate upon
real favors from nation to nation. It's a illusion which experience
must cure which a just pride ought to discard"

Apply Sloan's Freely For Lumbago.

Your attacks of Lumbago are not
nearly so hopeless as they seem. You
can relieve them almost instantly by
a simple application of Sloan's Lini-
ment on the back and loins. Lumbago
is form of Rheumatism, and yields
perfectly to Sloan's, which penetrates
quickly all in through the sore, tender
muscles, limbers up the back and
makes it feel fine. Get a bottle of
Sloan's Liniment for % cents of
any druggist and have it in the
house-against colds, sore and swol-
len joints, rheumatism, neuralgia
sciatica and like ailments. Your
money back if not satisfied, but it
does give almost instant relief.

ABANDON RURAL CREDITS PLAN
Congressman Woods Secs No Hope For
Passage Of Bill.

Washington, Aug. 29-Representative
Woods. who is a member of the joint
committee of the housetand senate on
rural credits legislation. has been urg-
ing prominent democrats on the COM
mittee to report bill and pass it this
season His efforts have met little re-
sponse and developed the fact that ru-
raj credits legislation has been aban-
doned by democratic leaders for the
present. In fact. Mr.. Woods thinks
nothing will be done next session. The
fact that the administration is insist
ing on legislation which would make
the rural credits system simply an ad-
junct Of the federal reserve system Mr.
Woods holds, is the stumbling block.
Unless the legislation is of broader
scope than this Mr.. Woods says it
will be of no benefit to agricultural
communities. Many of the house DEM
ocrats share this view, but will not
take the initiative in enforcing legisla
ton.
Representative Vollmer said this af-
ternoon that after an investigation he
had come to the conclusion the federal
government could not declare a mora
torium during which payment OF debts
would be suspended. He thinks the
states alone could act. The idea has
been discouraged in administration
quarters. New York merchants. how
ever. are asking action.
