THE PRESS ON PREPAREDNESS

The editors of the Worlds Work re-
Gently took a poll of the press of the
country on preparedness, the results of
which appear i'll the November issue
of the magazine.
No paper of the entire 26l expressed
downright opposition to preparedness.
Six newspapers were either more in
terested in other aspects of our rela-
tion to the possibility OF war or were
SO ukewarm toward preparedness as
to suggest an opposition they did not
express.
The degree to which the others
would prepare, the methods by which
| they would prepare, differ. Some de
mand the biggest navy in the world
ana some think more submarines and
| coast defense guns will suffice Some
favor big standing army; some, an
enlarged national guard; some, uni
versal compulsory training. The ma.
/ jority opinion favors a navy second
IN power to Great Britain s and a
! reorganization of our land forces to
give us an increased standing army
and ultimately "a reserve of million
men. The papers treat the question
of preparedness as the most important
subject before the new congress which
| convenes in December, and warn that
body that the country demands
prompt and adequate measures IL
meet the situation.

The Waterville (Me.) Sentinel raises
"a very important point as regards
state which makes Il practice of enter
tanning a large number of summer Wis
itors. The point is whether the sum
mer visitors are to come first, to have
the preference over the permanent res
idents. The issue came to a head be-
cause of a certain grade crossing acct
dent in which an automobile was
struck by train and several young
people in the motor vehicle were kill
ed. At the inquiry it developed that
the engineers had not blown their
whistles at the crossing in question be
cause the town had entered the plea
that the blowing of locomotive whis-
ties annoyed the summer residents of
that vicinity. Because of the failure
of this train to sound the usual crossing
warning, the automobile was struck and
some permanent residents so-called,
were sacrificed. The contemporary
further calls attention to the position
of two Portland newspapers which re
| fused to discuss typhoid fever cpl
! demic. alleged to have been due to
milk supply, on account of the fear
| that such a discussion would have q
tendency to scare away the temporary
sojourners during the months Of last
summer. The Sentinel asks the very
pertinent question: Does it pay to Ell
danger their lives Maine permanent
rcsidents) because of a fear that il
they are protected visitors may be an
lnoyed or frighteTed?'
The answer, manifestIy. is that it does
not. Events have proven 1t. a state
surrenders its birthright for a mess OF
pottage when it begins to make excep
tions in favor Of those people of othel
states who may come for merely tenn
porary stay, people who are here TO-DAY
and who may be gone tomorrow. 4
state would do well to stick to its rule!
and its customs and ask the neweom
ers to adapt themselves accordingly
while enjoying the benefits of the loca
ton.

noted that doggie could look both up
stream and downstream at the same
time.
No owner materialized from either
direction, however, so the fair Suffs
took doggie over to headquarters and
turned him over to the tender care of
the publicity manager. AS it is of
course impossible for a publicity man
to make use out of a cross-eyed dog
he would appreciate 1t If the owner
would call and claim it,
Doggie is stuffed with sawdust but
