america FOR AMERICANS"

One high purpose, at once ideal and
inspiration, animates President Will
sons first address to the Sixty-fourth
Congress. "All America for Ameri-
cans and all Americans for America!"
perhaps expresses it. He declares
for partnership with the enlightened
and progressive nations of the South
in upholding the Monroe Doctrine;
for larger preparedness on our own
part to make effective our champion
ship of this and the other essentials of
free institutions on this hemisphere;
for more unsparing scorn and ostra-
cism for those who have sought, or
may hereafter seek to pour "the poi
son of disloyalty into the arteries of
our national life"
On this platform every patriotic
citizen can stand. 1t is no narrow or
hidebound Americanism, mark you,
for which the President pleads. 1t has
no limit of race or creed. 1t erects
no gate that men born under foreign
flags, but with the spirit of America
in their hearts, may not pass. It's
anathemas are reserved for those who
turn in malign reaction against the
government and people who had
welcomed and nurtured them and
seek to make this proud country once
more hotbed of European passion"
and for those native to the soil who
yet "have so forgotten themselves
and their honor as citizens as to put
their passionate sympathy with one
or the other side in the great Euro
pean conflict above their regard for
the peace and dignity of the United
States"
True Americanism, as the Presi-
dent has pointed out on an earlier oc-
casion, is matter rather of the spir-
it than the nativity. 1t appeals to all
those who see in this country's his
tory and tradition an unyielding pro-
test against every form of tyranny
and the greatest experiment in free
government the world has known.
That spirit has found some of its fin
est expression in the speech of for
eign-born citizens and some of its
most notable exemplifcations in their
lives. To all who believe in her prin-
tiples and would share her aspirations,
America holds out her arms, but the
time has come when her hospitable
shores no longer may be utilized to
shelter conspiracies against her hap
piness and her peace.
To this policy, to which restraint
lends an added emphasis, everything
else in the Presidents address is sub
sidiary. There must be fuller and
franker understanding with the ma
tions of South America, to the end
that they may take up their share of
the burden of preserving their indie
pendence. The young men of this
country must give part of their youth
to the country's service, and the en-
ployers of these young men must IA
cilitate and lessen the sacrifice. All
of us must bear, in increased burdens
of taxation, our share of the cost of
preparedness against attack. Our

The meeting of the Democratic Edi-
tors Association of Missouri, which
had been called for January 9Th, in
st. Louis, has been postponed to a
later date, not yet announced. The
reason stated for this postponement
is that this occasion is to be strictly
a meeting of newspaper men of the
State, not to be in any way mixed up
with other interests.

Our Republican friends profess to
be very indignant over alleged nepo-

silent as the depths of Mamoth Cave

and the nepotism prevalent in the G..

Your little true-blue Republican edi-
tor has very astonishingly long Wis

With the State school fund question
settled by the Supreme Court, the
$334,1s9 yet to be apportioned among
the school districts, added to the ST.
613,479.8O which was apportioned last
June, the State school fund apportion-
ment for this year is the largest in
the history of the State.

The Supreme Court has settled the
State school fund question. There
has been no "looting" of the fund as
the Globe Democrat and the Republi-
can papers have been trying to make
it appear, and the schools of the
State do not lose a cent. Now, will
you be good?

Beginning with the first of the year,
the lid will be raised on the butcher
ing business in New York, and there
after one can get steaks from "Old
Dobbins" if preferred. However, we
cannot help feeling that, in order to
play safe, one should either confne
himself to soup bones or go strong
on disinfectants, as we cannot believe
that any horse in flesh, and not COM
pletely filled years, would be killed
for its flesh.

ARMY OF 100000
IN SIX YEARS PLANNED
$81 100000 for Coast Defenses and
$14O,OOO,OOO for Munitions to
be Provided

Washington, D. c., Dec. 29.-Sec.
rotary Garrison, in seclusion at his
home in New Jersey, is giving over
the entire holiday week to prepare
ton for the task of presenting to the
congressional military committees the
army part of the administrations ma
tional defense program. When Con-
gress convenes Tuesday he will be
ready to submit facts, figures and ar
guments in support of the plans.
When Mr.. Garrison left Washington
he took with him copies of every de-
partmental report and official docu-
ment bearing on the preparedness
problem. He believes, it was asserted
tonight by an official who has had
much to do with framing the plan,
that correct statement of the prob
lem can lead only to the general con-
illusions embodied in the continental
army scheme.
From this official, who will be among
those authorized to present to the
committee an application of the
views of the administration, was OBJ
tanned the following outline of what
the Secretary expects to tell Congress
the proposed program will do:
Write definite military policy
founded on the unanimous conclu-
sions of military experts Of the
nation, past and present and
which, therefore, is sound in the
DRY and correct in application.
Enroll within three years and
give some preliminary training
at least to 100000 mobile troops.
Provide within six years for an
additional force of 100000 re-
serves for the troops with the
colors.
Furnish the most attractive
form of voluntary military serv-
ice it is possible to devise, there
by serving as final and conclu-
sive test of the possibility of or
ganizing in peace times an ade-
quate voluntary army system.
Furnish system to which uni
versal military service could be
applied quickly and without the
necessity of extensive reorganiza-
ton.
$81, 100000 for Coast Defenses.
Furnish a regular mobile army
sufficient to cooperate with the
training of Continentals and also
to carry on the necessary peace
activities.
Furnish through cadet COM
panies attached to regular regi-
ments an adequate and certain
school for regular continental
and reserve offices.
Furnish, beginning at once,
system under which an adequate
enlisted reserve for the regular
army would be built up and main
tanned.
Begin at once, to be concluded
in four years, the expenditure of
$81 100000 on extension and i'm
provement of coast defenses,
making them far superior to
those which any other nation has
ever known.
Furnish an adequate force of
men to man all coast defenses, I
