BY HUDSON MAXIM,


The Distinguished Inventor of smokeIess Powder and
Various Projectiies and Explosives.
IN HIS article In these columns Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie has given expression TO some opinions
which challenge the attention OF all thinking
people of this country, who. in this trying time
OF war, are becoming aroused and are asking
themselves the question: Are adequately prepared
for the dread eventuaity OF war II adequately
prepared, why not9
There is no person OF howsoever humble a station
but whose opinion has some weight Horace Greeley
was it Henry Ward Beecher?7-Once said that his
opinion upon very important subject underwent
material change from conversation with blacksmith
while shoeins his horse
The opinion Of Andrew Carnegie the greatest
steel and iron smith the world has ever known, Is
certain TO have great weight with a very large
number OF people, whatever the subject may be upon
which he expresses his opinion.
The world owes Andrew Carnegie a debt OF deep
gratitude for many most munifieent and bensficeut
actions and our gratitude to him has begotten love
for him, and our gratitude and love beget sym
pathetic attention whenever he speaks upon whatever
subject Consequently. when Mr. Carnegie speaks upon
the subject of national defenses he is bound TO
exercise tremendous power for good or evil. and
this power for good evil Il directly proportionate
TO the extent that his opiniones right or wrong
At this time the question Of our national defense
may say to bend public opinion one way or tho
other may possibly have a determining effect upon
the nihds of many people.

II Mr.. Carnegie is right in his opinion that our
best defense is in military defenseIessness than he is
doing the country great service through the wide
publicity given to his opinions IT, the other hand
he is in the wrong, he is doing this country very
great injury, his words not only help defeat CON
gressional appropriations for building more guns but
also help to spike the few guns we have.
Destroying by Talk Guns We May Need to Use
Let us first consider some Of the most remarkable
and also the most radical of his statements He says
to quote: t.es -, ,t.,.
mot one of the great nations has the slightest
desire to be other than friendly with the United
States We are friend to all; an enemy of none.
They could gain nothing by war with u.s. nor would
We by q with them. We have no territorial ambi
tions. and only desirs to be left alone,
"ARfor this foolish talk OF an invasion that is an
impossible contingency. Imagine any country being
able TO successfully bring enough troops to accomplish
anything worth while from military standpoint from
point 5000 miles off and attack 900 people
II have always said that II at any time any,
country was foolish enough to attempt INVASION the
best possible plan would be 70 make their landing

ORIGINATOR INVITES CRITICISMS

A autobiography and personal
platform catechism is what will be
required of every candidate for pub
lie office, II the ingenious scheme of
Prof. Henry Olerich of this city. an
outline of which he is circulating
privately, should be adopted. Prof.
Olerich is the same student of re-
form, who appeared before the char
ter commission and championed a
plan to cut the police force to six
members. and his present contribu-
tion is entitled. Some Serious De-
fects OF Our Present Election Laws
and How They ay Be Remedied."
The counts in the indictment, which
the professor brings are, for the most
part. familiar, the unique proposition be-
ing that which relates to publicity to
infrom the voter as to the character and
qualifications OF the. vote hunter, Here
Is the oierich photo-biography plank:
Every candidate shall hereafter file
with the proper officer a recent photos
graph and short biographical sketch
of himself, and a brief personal platform
clearly announcing for the Intelligent and
convenient information Of his voters. and
others, who may be interested in his
victory. not less than six. or more than
ten, of what the candidate then regards
as the most important policies. which he
or she, soIemniy pledges, to vote and
work to the best Of his ability"

his filing fee, the candidate is to pay
SIS. OF course. copies are to be mailed
to every qualified voter with few
extra to the candidate.
These, election bulletins" explains the
professor. will serve as first-class liter
ature for students OF political and
psychological Science" For the bene-
fit OF posterity, provision Ia also made
for preserving copies Of these election
bulletins. and decenniAliy binding them
into substantial book form for public
reference. In HIS CIRCULAR, Pxof. olerioh
asks for criticisms ana suggestions.
The chief defect see In it, remarked
one Of the city hall bunch. whsn asked
how he liked the plan, ~is sufficient
safeguards are not thrown around the
photograph requirement. There Is moth
ing to say how recent 1t must be or
to prevent US from running In a photo
graph taken years before. when we
we're young and handsome. that might
appeal more strongly for votes than a
real current likeness. There Is nothing
either to prevent the chonic candidate
from using the same photograph year
after year. when. because OF the fact
that he is running all the time, he
should supply moving-pictnre film.
- The autobiography scheme. however,
Is no. joke, for any ono who knows Prof.
olerich. knows he is in real earnest all
the time.

AN EXTRA SESSION

Prevent Passage of Annual APP
preparation Bills.
DEMOS CHANGE THEIR PLANE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-whether
President Wilson will call an extra
session Of congress in case of defeat
of the ship bill at this session proba-
bly, win be decided at conferences
next week between the president and
democratic leaders in congress.
At the White House today 1t was
said present sentiment among Off
cials was against an extra session,
but that no definite conclusion had
been reached.
All appropriations bills will be freed
of legislative riders, which might cause
prolonged discussion in the senate and
leaders think they can be passed in a
week or ten days IL the ship bill is dis
posed OF.
Administration senators agreed today
lit would be impossible to recommit the
ship purchase bill with instructions foI
it's modification and determined thai
their only way 70 get an amended bill
before the senate was to yield to sena-
tor Clarses motion, which threw the
democratic ranks into confusion
They will then press Senator Cores
motion to discharge the commerce com
mittee from consideration OF substi-
tute bill containing amendments salts
factory to republican senators. They are
confident that Senators Norris. Kenyon
and IhFollette win vote for this motion,
Senator Newlands also will be here and
they expect to carry that motion without
the aid OF the vice president.
Determination to resort to this pro
gram was reached when the word came
today that Senator Smith could not re
turn in time 10 aid the democrats ir
their struggle for the bill Without his
vote. Senator Fletcher's motion TO TO
commit with instructions would be de
feated by a majority of one.
