Dr. Gladden. and Others

The Rev. Dr. Washington Gladden.,
 one of the most distinguished divines , in America and the author of many
 gripping essays on ethical subjects, 1 is, like 8 great number of other prom inent ministers, opposed to President Wilson's national defense programme. In recent article in New York newspaper he discusses the "hypo- thetical foe" which the administration 1 is preparing to resist. He assumes that the enemy is purely imaginary. "He is not good American" says Dr. Gladden., "who seeks to persuade his countrymen that Japan is their ene- my"
 AS for England, the common peo- pie" of that country, Dr. Gladden. de- clares, have always been our friends, and with that idea in his mind he con- tends that there is no danger of the United States and Great Britain fighting each other.
 Dr. Gladden. then discusses Ger many as the Hypothetical foe." He says that Germany is not at the pres ent time exhibiting any animosity to- ward us." He then reaches the con- clusion that Germany is not likely to adopt the role of pirate and start out to lombard and plunder our cities" :" He characterizes such suspicion as "diseased and monstrous."
 Dr. Gladden. assumes too much. Hudson s. Maxim in his Kansas City speech gave expression to the "yel- low" thought that the victor in the European war would immediately at tack the United States. Such notion 1 is absurd. When hostilities now drenching Europe with blood end in peace treaty all the belligerents will have had enough of war for a few years at least.
 But the Washington administration in urging national preparedness is looking we'll to the future. It takes time to prepare adequately for de- fense. It is earnestly hoped that no foreign power will ever attempt to invade America, but it will not do to take the chances.
 Dr. Gladden's view of the situation
 recalls a speech made not long since
 by Great Britain's foreign minister,
 Sir Edward Grey, in which he said
 that shortly before the conflict be-
 tween the central powers and the al-
 lies Germany had only smiles for
 France, only a feeling of friendship for Russia and walked arm in arm
 with England through the chancellor ies of Europe. He spoke as he did tc
 give emphasis to the fact that the un-
 expected happens and happens sud, denly. A nation may be friendly today
 and for considerable period of years
 But, as all the world sees, there is nc
 assurance that the fighting blood o1
 Europe can be held in restraint wher
 overmastering jealousies arise anc commercial interests clash.
 The people of this country are enl Iphatically opposed to militarism. The
 prayer will always be for peace. But Ionly the ultrapacificists oppose 2
 reasonable degree of preparation or the part of the United States for ; Icontingency. The sane and patriotic public believes in preparedness. Hence
 the strong support accorded the Presi dent.

Justice Hughes and the Presidency

1T was glad that United States Su- preme Court Justice Charles B. Hughes had Nebraska take his name from the list of presidential candidates to be voetd for in the primary of that state." said Enos Rockhill of Chicago.
 T am a republican and Justice Hughes would be my first choice, but even if he were nominated in the con vention the chances are he would be defeated. and the country would then be deprived of the services of one of our greatest jurists. for once a candi- date he would have to resign from the bench.
 q believe Myron Herrick would make strong standard bearer. Al though the nomination might be an empty honor, it Is important that the party should get together in 1916 so as to be in shape to make winning dash in 1920'

ALABAMA PRESS

Florence Herald: The display of the
 girls canning clubs and the boys corn clubs of Lauderdale county at the court
 house few days ago would do credit to
 any country. It was an impressive lesson [ of what Lauderdale county soil will pro-
 duce and the energy and ability of our boys and girls. No finer display of canned fruits, vegetables and farm
 products was ever gotten together at any
 county or state fair
 l Guntersville Advertiser: It is reported
 that some of the anti-administration lead
 CTS will take the stump in opposition to the proposed state bond issue. Arguing against bond issues Is easy, but none of 1 the politicians have ever advanced @ plausible scheme of giving the state the
 needed financial relief without the bond 1 issue. Animositv toward the present ad-
 ministration seems the chief argument,
 notwithstanding the states debts were made by Conner and O'Neal.
 l Huntsville Mercury: What Alabama needs today is not so much the drainage | of the swamp lands of the state, but | more people, more capital and more in- 1 dustry on the lands already farmed If | as state, Alabama has any one gen. 1 eral trouble, that trouble is that we are
 land poor. If we have an economic de- 1 ficiency, that deficiency is that we do ! not get enough out of our lands
 Huntsville Times: The appalling | news comes from Birmingham that 507 people died in Jefferson county within the past year from the dread disease tuberculosis. This is an awful rec- l ord, an indictment against Jefferson county that should stir that people to action that will remedy. The Daily Times has been carrying on an agita- tion for tuberculosis hospital in Mad ison county, and 1t should win. Every county should be in position to ward off this disease. It is absolutely pre- ventable and the locality that fails to protect its citizenship Is to be pitied. The coming Christmas time offers op- , portunity in the sale of Red Cross seals that should start the helpful ! movement. We are in earnest in this matter, and would like to have our people speak out on the subject every where. Do 1t, and do 1t now!

His crops continue to grow and thrive, his stock fattens and
 becomes meat for his table, his fields
 and gardens furnish him the susten-
 ance of life, and he feels, as he Is, the one man on all this earth who is ab- l solutely independent of all men or
 combination of men.
