liquor question next week. If it
goes dry, as it probably will, the
only wet rural county in the Tenth
congressional district will be Sher.
burne.-Cambridge North Star.
Since when has Sherburne county,
been a portion of the Tenth con.

voted ''wet'' last Monday.

PROBLEM OF NATIONAL DEFENSE

The June number of that splendid
magazine, the North American Re-
view, contains an exceedingly able
article by Lindley M. Garrison,
secretary of war, on ''The Problem
of National Defense,'' which paci-
fists and peace at any price advocates
should read and ponder over. Mr..
Garrison believes that the United
States should have a military and
naval force sufficient to protect US
from the aggressions of foreign ma
tions and maintain the honor and
dignity of the flag at home and
abroad r. H..
Every right thinking, patriotic
American will agree with Mr.. Gar
rison when he says: az, -.
IA great deal of inattentionei and
considerable opposition, is based up
on the statement and belief that if a
nation takes military precautions
and makes military preparation, it
invites what it seeks to prevent or
repel. The contention does not
seem to have any foundation in
reason or fact. 1t certainly is not so
in any similar situation. in either
our spiritual or our physical life.
Those who entertain and give ex-
preston to this feeling would be
shocked, 1 am sure, if similar atti-
tude were applied to other like mat
tiers. Does the citizen invite the
con1agration by preparing force to
extinguish and minimize the results
of fire? Do men invite illhealth by
taking precautions to preserve the
soundness of their bodies and by
having force of trained physicians
to prevent and minimize the dis
astrous consequences of disease? Does
a body of scientific sanitarians,
trained and ready to cope with cpl
denies, invite the latter or make
them more likely to come upon US?
Do business men who make wise dis
position Of their means against the
possibility of panic invite the latter
and make it more liable to occur?
Surely none of these things are so,
and just as surely there is no rational
basis for believing that nation
which takes proper military precau-
tions and makes proper military pre-
parations is inviting war.
"They, however, who deprecate
the taking of these precautions and
the making Of these preparations
urge still further opposition some
what akin to that just disposed of.
They say: If you are strong enough
to fight, you are more likely to fight,
or, stated in the negative, If your
nation is not prepared for war, your
nation will be less likely to be in
volved in war;
"To be perfectly frank, I cannot
see the slightest basis in reason or
fact for such contention. Where
in the realms of physical or spiritual
life do those who urge this conten-
ton find any basis for it's sound
ness? Do the things which we call
evil refrain from assau]ting the
weak, the flabby, land the feeble?
In the physical sphere, where and
when have feebleness and fabbiness
and weakness acted as shield and
buckler'? Where in the history Of
nations do we find the strong staying
it's hand because of the feebleness
of it's rival? The. cages of history
literally abound with instances to
the contrary. Civilizations which
in their day reached the highest pin
nacles OF mental, spiritual and ply
steal life have disappeared from the
