srNAroR LEwIs.s QuEsrIoN

Senator James Hamilton Lewis. in his East St. Louis address Thursday put in a single pungent sem tence the whole of the Democratic answer to Repub can charges of Democratic responsibility for national unpreparedness He noted the fact of the tremendous expenditures on the Army and Navy by the Repubt cans He then asked: "If we are not prepared where has the money gone?"
 The question Is in point We have been spending about quarter of a billion dollars year-or something like S25OOO0OO00 decade That means that we have been spending more money defense than Germany has, Up to March 4, l9l1 the Federal Government Presidency Senate and House of Representatives-waa in che hands Of the Republicans and they held the Presidency and the Senate for two years more during which the defense expenditures went on at Che same rate The Mckinley Administration had the inesti' mable advantage of short war with weak foreign power to show the people and the Congress what che need for preparedness was Mr. Mckinley was succeed ed by a man who was In the Navy Assistant Secre ary and had been line officer in the volunteer troops in the war just concuded preparedness one of hs hobbies Elihu Root with the acutest intellect which has been bestowed any Republican during Che pres ent generation was Secretary of War during the for native period following the spanshAmerican conflict
 What have the Republicans io soy for themselves in view Of unlimited power over the military policy Of the Federal government during 16 years. the occurrence es of short war just serious enough for "demonstra ton purposes in Che second year of the period, three Presidents the first one Of whom Civil War vet eran the next @ Spanish-American War veteran and
 former Secretary of the Navy and the third former Secretary of War. and a warbudget larger than Ger many's during the whole timei
 If we are not prepared where has the money gone that the Republicans spent in all those l6 yearsf 1T we are not prepared why should listen to their amen tatons now or turn them for counsel advice or ad moniton? They had their chance. They spent more money while that chance lasted than did the foremost military Power of the world. If are not prepared where has the money gone?

AGAINST PROGRESS

Those who are opposing the enlargement of Che gov ernmenal powers of the people of Alaska are staying the march of progress They are delaying the develop ment of the Territory-and Of Gastneau Channel towns This is not matter of politics but of business No real friend of Alaska s iavoring the continuation Of our present form of government pending Statehood. But that is just what those who are opposing the passage by the present Congress of a measure granting the people of Alaska full Territorial form of government are doing They are not advancing the cause of State hood but retarding its consummaotion Those of them
 who know anything of the history of the march of civit zaton across the continent know this. and that why they are urging Statehood as an ambuscade from which to fight the demand for additional legislative powers for the Alaska people They are against seifgoyen ment now as they always have been and they and those
 who have joined them for political favor laugh in their sleeves at the wess dupes who like hungry fish. have grabbed their bait

rArr APPROVES PRESIDENTS PLAN

President Taft has again practically endorsed po- siton of the administration He says the government should take happy medium course between those urged by former President Roosevelt and former Secretary of State Bryan The former has urged compulsory miii- ,ary service and the strongest navy in the world while the latter thinks we need no stronger military estab lishment than we now have.
 That Is just what President Wilson is urging. He has taken the happy medium course between Bryan and Roosevelt He is opposed to compulsory military service or to che construction of the largest navy In the world On the other hand seeing the world covered by war-mad nations he iavors such improvements in our National delenses as would permit to repel an attack
 The administration also proposes continental ar- my" This army would permit enlistment Of citizens for period Of six years during the first three of which Che enlisted man would give two months service each year and receive the copensaton Of soldier during that time The Presidents plan IS to have this army consist of 100000 and they would constitute reserve in case of emergency The whole plan however. would be based upon voluntary service does not propose to make soldier out of a man who does not desire to render service In furherance of this plan, employers of labor in various sections of the United States are providing that their employees may have two months vacation for services in the continental army during which they would receive either full or half pay
 This endorsement Of an administration policy by farmer President Taft is one of many that he has freely given.

Wickersham seems to have been carefully and accurately chosen. The question was as to whether Chairman Richardson. as the chief iunctionary for the expenditure of the post and military road had recommended Q larger appropriation The Col onel it seems Co us. from his own corresponu' sncs observed in his report that Che fund had already done too much. and roads had been built out oi the post and military fund In AL aska which could not by the largest stretch or imagination be held to be either post or mill tary roads That he also said In his report that it would require S75o0Oo to build roads Alaska shonid have and that such on appropriation ought to be made in @ pork barrel bin.
