Nations Duty of Preparation.

From President Monroe's Message to Congress-.
Sustaining our neutral position and
allowing to each party while the war
continues equal rights, 1t is incumbent
on tho United States to claim Of each
with equal rigor the faithful observ-
ance of our rights according to the
well known law of nations.
The history Of the late wars In Europe
furnishes complete demonstration
that no system of conduct, however
correct in principle, can protect neu-
trail powers from injury from any
party: that a defenseless position and
distinguished love Of peace are the sur
is no way to avoid 1t other than by
being always prepared and willing for
just cause to meet it If there
be n people ON earth wh0se more espe-
cial duty 1t Is to be mt all times pre-
pared to defend the rights with which
they are blessed and to surpass all
others in sustaining the necessary
burthens, and in submitting to sacrifices
to make such preparations, 1T is un-
dOubtediy the people of these states.
. 1t has often been charged
against free governments that they
have neither the foresight nor the vir-
tue to provide at the proper season for
great emergencies: that their course is
improvident and expensive; that war
will always find them unprepared, and
whatever may be its calamities, that
its terrible warnings will be disre-
garded and forgotten as soon as peace
returns. / have full confidence that
this charge so far as relates to the
United States will be shown to be Mt
terly destitute OF truth"

Benefactors.

Ii the new Rittman process actual
ly results in the production of cheap
gasoline, every motorist in the
United States should affix a bust Of
the young government inventor on
the top OF his radiator as token of
appreciation. Then will perhaps
come another of Uncle Sans bright
young men with a discovery that will
lower the cost of rubber tires, or pos
sibly provide satisfactory and
cheaper substitute for the present
wheel material. There would still be
room for advancement after that, but
these two boons would put the auto
mobile public in a mood to propose
and elect presidential ticket.

choose, SO to say, between the two
senator's Mr.. Stone for and Mr..
Reed against should afford very in
teresting set-to in executive session.
A similar case was presented to
the Senate at the recent session
from New Jersey. Mr.. Hughes was
for, and Mr.. MARITIME against. After
warm and protracted fight, Mr..
MARITIME won. The nomination was
rejected in the closing hours of the
session. but larger questions over
shadowed Mr.. Marines victory.
Mr.. Hughes is in the first years OF
his first term. and Mr.. Stone has just
entered on his third term. Mr.. Mar
tine and Mr.. Reed-both in the first
term-will soon be seeking second,
and the question of patronage, there
fore. is one of immediate concern to
them. Appointments made now. or
soon, in their states will have a
bearing on their senatorial fortunes.
and naturally they want their friends
recognized. They want proof to Of
fer to their supporters and admirers
at home that they are of consequence
at headquarters.
Patronage has many sides. Theo-
reticaly. the proposition is to get
the most competent men for the OF
fees. to the end that the business OF
the government may be satisfacto-
rily attended to. But practically the
proposition is to distribute the places
so as to secure advantage for the
party in power as well as good
service ior the government. 1t IS
safely and properly assumed that IN
the matter of presidential patronage
the right men can always be found
in the Presidents own party, and
contendcd that he should dispense
the favor> under party advice so as
to strengthen the party and its local
leaders everywhere.

Watchmen's Uniforms.

Forty watchmen of the State, War
and Navy building are protesting to
the Secretaries of those departments
against an order just issued which
compels them to buy uniforms to be
worn while on duty. They make the
not unreasonable request that ii
Uncle Sam wishes them to be uni
formed he should buy the clothes
out of his own funds instead of tax

They set forth that the purchase of

Democratic Criticism of Congress.

Where criticism OF the SiXty-third
Congress is found in democratic
quarters it plays upon two things ::
G) The support OF the ship purchase
proposition. and (2l the failure to
reduce appropriations. The tariff
law. the currency law and the new
trust legislation are generally m
dorsed in party circles. But. as the
complaint runs. the ship measure was
a dip toward state socialism. while
tho large appropriations violated eX-
press party promises.
Criticism on the first point lies
more properly against the President
than against Congress, though Con-
gress can hardly be defended. The
ship bill. OF itself. had no strength
in either House or Senate. Had it
been introduced in either body with
out White House sponsorship, 1t
would probably have slumbered in
committee as freak. But with the
President behind it consideration
was secured, and flibuster was
necessary to defeat it. There were
no sincere mourners on Capitol Hill
when Senator Fletcher announced
the death.
Criticism on the second point is
thoroughly deserved, though not as
stated. Congress did stand pledged
to reduce the expenses OF the gov
ernment. The Baltimore platform
had dwelt on the matter. Republi-
cans had been charged with waste
in an enormous sum-three hundred
millions annually. But the charge
could not be supported; and. con-
fronted with the necessity OF pro-
viding for the government, the
democrats cast their platform and
campaign CUFF to the winds, and
made the amount fit the demands.
But suppose they had taken the
other course-tried to make the ap-
preparations conform to their reck-
lessly founded pledges. What mess
would have been created! What
widespread injury would have been
inflicted! How could the govern
ment have gotten along even for
twelve months on sum almost a
third less than the occasion called
fors
And this economy issue is coming
up again next winter. This new
Congress will not be able to cut the
corners in any such way as was rec
commended to the Sixty-third Con-
gress. 1t may, indeed, have to in
crease the figures. Uncle Sam needs
a good deal of money. He runs big
establishment. and should be allowed
to run it according to the world So
ciety in which he moves. The party
that skimps him will make no votes
At any time by the performance.

The author has, in this picture, es-

doing she has, by some persons, been
called daring" and there are even
those whose prudishness might cause
them to even whisper the word OBJ

a nude maiden into a picture might
be offensive, however essential in the
ILLUSTRATION of the paramount point
of the story. were it not for the con-
sumnate skill employed by the pro-
iducer, the photographer, and, may
add, the modesty of the artist enact
ing the trying role. By trick of
photography Truth las a character)
fades gracefully into and out of the
picture, never once reaching point
more bold than that of hazy, beau
tiful figure. Her filmy presence in
deed seems more like that of some
animated statue seen in dream

some great idea.
