REPUBLICAN PARTY CONSTRUCTIVE.

VXTHlLE the numerous mistakes, broken promises
w fallacious economic principles and bad admins
tration OF the Democratic party will be a large factor
in the 1916 campaign will be asked to vote the
Republican ticket solely because of the ncompetency
OF the Democrats
The Republican party is not and never has been
party of negation II does not make practice of view
ing with alarm. Il is not a perpetual obstructionist
IL has certain definite constructive policies and has a
record Of accomplishment which attests ifs efficiency
IL stands first and foremost for protecton-he en-
oouragement OF home industry always stood
human liberty and the preservation personal rights
It's policy in this respect shown not only in its
original fight against slavery but in years
by the enactment OF antitrust laws pure food laws
and other measures which guard individuals against
encroachments OF wrong doors.
The Republican party haa always endeayored to make
this government help to the peopleas instanced by
the enactment of the postal savings bank law in the
face OF almost unanimous opposition from the Demo-
Gratis. The reclamation act and the Panama Canal act
were other illustrations Of the desire of Republican ad-
minstraiions to make this government for the people
The Republican party has always stood for an eff
cient currency system and devised curreny plan,
many the features OF which were adopted in the Fed
eral Reserve system. After Democratic House OF Rep
resentatives refused to pass general parcel post law
Republican Senate attached such measure to the
Post Office Appropriation bill thus secured its en-
actment with the signature OF a Republican President
The whole history Of the Republican party IS record
OF constructive achievement
Il is a party with which any young man may well be
proud to affiliate and for whose principles and oandi-
dates he may safely his first and each succeeding
vote.

official quarter The records the battle efficiency"
of the ships in the feet show marked falling OF from
the percentages in Daniels first year of control and

For the year ending June 30 19i5 the battleship
Michigan stood first in "battle efficiency" according
to the official ranking Of the Navy Department with
percentage of 1851 per cent
For the year ending June 80 1914. on the other hand
the battleshp Wyoming stood first in battle efficiency
according to the official ranking Of the department
with percentage OF 1921 per cent
In other words It requires nearly II per cent less
efficiency for leadership under Daniels than it did

Secretary Daniels Successor
(From The New York SUM

With almost universal approval, the
country receives President Wilson's
assurance that he favors and will do
what he can to promote a sane poll
icy Of adequate preparation for ma
tional defence.
There is one thing which President
Wilson can do TO strengthen the
United States against possible attack;
a contribution to the cause OF ade-
quate preparedness which he and he
alone can make at this time.
IL Is I'm the Presidents power to
give the navy a civilian chief who
will command the respect of the Off
GERS of every rank in that arm of the
service, even as Secretary Garrison
does in the War Department; who
will command the confidence of the
people by sound judgment and sober,
judicious effort instead of burlesquing
the function, as Secretary Daniels
does. with silly utterances and fan
tastic official performances; and,
more than all, who can restore among

Is Canada doing her fair share in
the defense Of the worlds liberty
against German militarism? n. W.
Rowell. who is always master OF his
facts and is not given TO overstate-
ments, says very plainly that the
Dominion has done and is doing far
less in proportion to her population
and her wealth than any other self
governing portion Of the Empire He
urges that this country should do at
least half as we'll as the people OF
the United Kingdom, and raise the
strength OF Canadians under arms to
100000 men.
There is no dispute as the facts
cited by Mr.. Rowell to support MS
appeal. The population OF Great
Britain and Ireland is about 10000
600. Before the war began 100000
men we're serving in the army, the
navy and the territorial forces. Since
the war broke out 100000 more
have enlisted in Kitchener's army.
There were in Great Britain before
the war began about 100000 more
women than men, because OF the tact
that men emigrate more freely than
women, and pay heavier toll In in
dustrial accidents. The 1850 900
Britons who have donned the uniform
were drawn not from a male popu-
lation Of 23,5OO,OOO, but from one of
22,800, 600 at most. Il will be seen
therefore, that over Is per cent of
the male population of all ages in
Great Britain serves with the colors,
How do the figures stand in Can

an excess of males somewhat over
100000. The disproportion in num-
bers of men and women has increased
rather than diminished since 1911.
and il would be entirely reasonable
to assume that of the 100000 per-
sons in the Dominion when war
broke out 3,750,0O0 were women and
4.250. 900 men. The enlistments un
to the present time fall somewhat
short OF 100000, OF slightly less than
A per cent. Of the male population.
as compared with over 16 per cent in
Great Britain.
These figures do not constitute the
most serious part Of the indictment.
The Canadian people are not re-
sponsible for the use made Of the
troops of the Dominion sent over
seas. and if the men-keen and eager
as they are for active service-are
held in reserve in England the re-
sponsibility is entirely that OF the
British war Office During the first
year of the conflict, however, Canada
was represented at the front by
single division of about 10000 men
There are now at most $4,000 Cana
dian soldiers in France, or little
over fourth Of the total number
enlisted. The number at the front
is entirely inadequate, when com
pared with the vast hosts sent forth
from the British Isles. Canada will
not be properly represented in the
firing line until there are at least co.
600 men there, with ample reserves
in Great Britain to make up the in
evitable wastage.

Editorial Opinion
WHAT OUGHT no RE AND WHAT Is

From the Albany Journal, Rep.
NO politics in national defence"
saws the Washington Post, but it
states what ought to be, not what is.
mo political party is entitled 10
any credit at all for demanding ma
tional preparedness
Again it errs. for the iacts are
against its assertion. While the re
publican party was in power, appro-
priatiOns were regularly MADE lot
construction of battleships. But IN the
last year OF the last Republican Ad-
ministration, when the House had ne
come Democratic, that body opposed
and defeated the appropriation TOT
two battleships which the Senate was
anxious to pass. 100
The Democratic platform OF 1917
contained nothing about the national
defence. The Republican platform de-
clared: 1--WE believe in the mainte-
nance of an adequate navy for the
nations defence, and we condemn the
action OF the Democratic House OF
Representatives in refusing to author
lie the construction Of battleships."
And the Democratic policy OF indlt-
ference to preparedness was contln-
ned until very recently, when the
Presidents eyes were opened by
events i'm Europe and he became an
advocate Of the Republican policy
which previously he had antagOnized
with ali other Republican policies.
The credit of constant adherence to
the policy OF keeping this country
safe from foreign attack through ade-
ouate preparadness for defence re-
mains with the Republican party.

the enlisted men of the navy, that
morale and spirit of discipline which
Secretary Daniels has ignOrantly and
fOolishly done so much to destroy.
The competent professional observ-
ers of conditions in the American
navy are aware of the disastrous eff
feet OF Mr.. Daniels lightmindedness
upon the discipline of the service.
The general public is coming to sus-
pect the extent of the damage which
this Secretary's folly has wrought.
There can be no just appraisal of the
elements of weakness in our defen-
sive armOr without reckoning the con-
sequences Of Mr.. Daniels fatuous ex-
periments. or without including the
Secretary himself as a prime factor
of unpreparedness.
Fortunately, it is in the power of
the President to remedy this source
of weakness by a few syllables spoken
over the telephone and a few strokes
of the Executive pen; and the sooner
II we're done the better.

From the Cleveland Leader.
Last fall the Democrats in Cincin-
natl and throughout Ohio made
great ado over the fact that Governor
willis carried Hamilton county and IFS
big city. They thought they saw evil
dence of all kinds OF undetermined po-
litical scheming in the Willis plural
ity of 1922 in Cincinnati and 1920 in
Hamilton county. They refused TO be-
lieve that James NJ. Cox was defeated
fairly in either the city or the county.
and they were only eXasuerated by
suggestions that their party was ex-
tremely fortunate to fare no worse
than II did.

but the way it was divided is highly
significant. The Republicans polled
1851 ballots the Democrats SOB.
The Republican ticket received nearly
three times as many votes as the Dem

would carry last year.

the latter, for they not only remind
us of certain truths of our faith, but
in themselves they are consoling and
