A Suggestion.

A Democratic friend seems to think
that the present great industrial ac-
tivity is due to the Democratic tariff
that has cost us a hundred-million-
dollar war tax" and is bound to cost
us many times that. But he is seri-
ously mistaken. He is also mistaken
in his conception of the prevailing
boom. If we were to enumerate the
dangers attending the industrial stu
alton he would call us a killjoy. Yet

ready torn down, in re.arranging the de-
moralized governments, In the upbuild-
ing Of destroyed industries, and they will
have little time, money or inclination to
Immediately commence another great
war Of invasion, which is the most difn-
cult and costly war Of all.
The only real reason for the United
States policy Of non-interference with
Mexico is this same identical condition
that exists between US and Europe. We
could blow the principal Mexican cities
to dust in a months time, but the fight
ing in the interior might well go on for
years before it could be definitely settled.
and the foreign Powers might blow New
York, Boston, and all of our great coast
cities fiat, but they would never be able
to conquer the great and almost limit
less Interior.
In my humble opinion. the present
great war was caused by that condition
for which a number Of fanatics are clam
oring in our own country, Prepared
ness" England and Germany have been
preparing their great armies and navies
for years, vieing with each other in both
land and sea forces; in air and on land
and water they have both arrived at a
state of perfect preparedness" And
they have got exactly what they pre-
pared for, even if it proves to be the ruin
of both nations, and the countless pre-
pared smaller nations that have been
dragged into the whirlpool of destructive
War.
You will note that only the prepared
nations have been called on to engage in
the bloody work, the rights Of neutrals
are to some small extent respected You
never saw any big bruiser walk up and
strike a Quaker, did you? A big boy al
ways avoids fight with little one,
when possible. Prize fighters do not chal-
lenge opponents who are not in their
class and all this because of your great
Power of Public Opinion. If the United
States treats all nations alike, attends
strictly to her own knitting, and Does
Not Arrogantly Build Up Great Army
and Navy, she need not fear that any
of the stricken powers across the Allan
tic will infringe on her rights to any
serious extent. We are no further behind
the powers now than we were in the
Revolutionary period. and to build ma

dollars which would do much more good

preparedness until there is something
more definite to prepare for.
