THE POWER OF THE SUBMARINE.

Prior to the appearance of the submarine, instruments of des-
truction on the sea were quickly met by counter-Weapons. Thus,
clad battleships by modern dreadnoughts. The submarine torpedo
boat has diverted naval development from what would have been
its natural channel. The %ponderous dreadnought may yet be out
cassed by the speedier battle cruiser, which, although lighter in
weight is equipped with guns of longer range. The submarine has
revolutionlzed commerce. The idea of a submerged fighting craft
civil wal, when the Confederate army made numerous and vaGent
attempts to navigate a barrel like boat in an attack on an enemy
fleet. AS far as the present wal has gone, the submarine is I'M
challenged as the striking arm of the navy.
The advantages of a submarine over a dreadnought are numer-
Gus. 1t was once thought that speed was an effective safeguard
Antwerp the Allies believed this principle had been established.
However, it is now known that the submarine can attain a speed as
high as twenty-five miles an hour, while the torpedo itself is said
to ordinarily hold a speed of twice that of its prey. Naval inven-
tors are struggling to devise some adequate means of protection
against submarine attacks. SO far, it seems that the British Ad-
front of the battle squadrons and on nets and chains that are cal
culated to foul the vessel or its torpedo. That this plan has been
on the whole remarkably effective is apparent, Notwithstanding
the torpedoing of numbers of British ships. The wonder, in view
of the many German submarines cruising in waters of the English
Channel, is not that so many, but that so few, warships have been
destroyed.
The patrol and steel nets placed around dreadnoughts cannot be
employed in defence of merchantmen, and this is the reason neutral
commerce is so seriously alarmed. The submarine has it's weak
nesses. 1t must get into position before it discharges it's torpedo,
and, in so doing, it runs the risk of being rammed. When it comes
to the surface to get its bearings, it may be sunk with one small
shot. This danger, however, as events have proved, is more than
counterbalanced by the quickness Of action. Notwithstanding the
most vigilant watch, the chances are that the commander of a ship
will get his first warning of the presence of a submarine by hear
ing the discharge of her torpedo. But, as necessity is the mother
be devised. The old torpedo boat, out of which evolved the torpedo
boat destroyer, is obsolete, but the destroyer remains an efficient
weapon and the most powerful foe Of the submarine of today

Senator Jim Ham Lewis of Illinois proposes to. fill the aching
Sos in + the Federal ss9s;a! Treasury by an. issue.ot bonds e 70 the. tune Of
when confronted by a deficit; and a deficit is always a natural &C.
commitment Of q Democratic administration. Cleveland had one
and he issued bonds. Wilson has one-and Jim Ham, proposes
to issue bonds. But Jim Hams scheme goes much further. He
wants to increase the National debt by fifty per cent, and he sug-
purchased by the people generally, and that the proceeds, after
paying off the Democratic deficit; shall be used in some Underlined
manner for putting the people whoiare now jobless to work. AS
we understand it, Jim Ham plan is for the people to lift them
selves out Of the slough by their bootstraps.
There was something akin to provision in the statement of
Woodrow Wilson's in a public letter of October 10, 1912, when he
said that under the new freedom american industry would have
q new bqoyancy Of hope, a new energy, a new variety" How true
the words have proven to be! Where American industry formerly
had h@lt the bueoyancy of prosperity, it now has the "'buoyancy Of hope"
energy awaiting the return Of Republican opportunity. And Ger
talnly there has been something new in the variety of experience
through which American industry has passed. Fortunate it is
that American industry never loses hope and the American people
never lose the right to vote.

EVERY FARM A FAC1l1IRY

The opportunity Of the town lies in Gle country. The country
can get along without the town, but no town ever has or ever win
built on farm profits; on what farmers produce in excess of their
home needs. Towns are the natural evolution and outsrowth of
ducts through the channels Of commerce. There is but one road
to permanent city buiiding-thatr road leads to the farm. Bust
ness is SO sympathetic, so sensitive to crop production, that the
forecast OF a poor wheat or corn crop effects the markets Of the
world. When the harvest fields smile, towns wax fat, and factor
les increase the pay roll. Corn, wheat, hay, beef, pork and poultry
these are the soil builders, the home builders, the builders Of the
great cities. -
Towns are beginning to look to the country, out in the fields of
growing corn and wheat and hay. Here lies the opportunity -
for the future Of the city, strange as it may seem, is out in the
country, hidden in the fertility of the soil. We must not forget
that every farm is a factory, and that in every state there are
thousands of these factories which need our best thought and ef-
fort to make them productive.

The intelligent voters of the country realize that it would be
governments concern merely because a war in Europe has given
rise to important diplomatic correspondence. The President of the
United States and the members of Congress are not chosen pi-
rnarily to determine foreign policies but to make laws and estab-
fish policies for the domestic affairs of the United States. The
present administration was not elected upon policies and pledges
regarding foreign affairs, but upon certain principles and pledges
regarding legislation affecting the people of the United States in
their business and governmental interests. Whether the govern
mental theories upon which this administration was elected have
whether the Democratic administration has given the people an
economical and efficient administration, and whether that party
has fairly fulfilled its pledges to the people, are live questions for
discussion today regardless of any international question that has
arisen.
The Presidents emphasis on the word humanity" in the Ger
man note led some people to declare that it was the first time the
word has ever been brought to the front in diplomatic exchanges.
A Spanish war veteran writes to the st. Louis Globe-Democrat to
show the contrary, by calling to mind an expression employed by
Mckinley just prior to the war in 1896. Mckinley declared that
in the name of humanity and civilization, the atrosities in Cuba
must come to an end. This veteran points out that "a parallel case
exists in Mexico, but those in authority in Washington have over
looked many things along with the watchful waiting policy. In
lions be allowed to exist at our door,?
The Census Bureau has Just issued a bulletin showing that the
estimated wealth was $1O7, 104, OOO 1000. This is an enormous in
crease in eight years. Though the business depression of the last
two years has brought stagnation to the real estate market, and
values of both city and farm property in some sections of the
country are perhaps a little less than in 1912, yet this is only a
temporary shrinkage and will be more than. offset by the growth
in values which will certainly follow restoration of the Republican
Party to power.

poets and gets a large amount of free boosting from the local news
papers, and yet it appears to us that some of these organizations
are not very grateful to the local papers for their efforts. Among
those we might mention the local Yacht and Boat Club. They
have had columns of free matter from both the local papers, and
they go to the little junk shop, known as the Quick Print to get it.
The result is that the Quick print not having material to do the
free, put out the work and gets the pay, and the local papers, who
are giving much free advertbing--get noting. We might men.
