history of the world.
1T presents them as in very
deep and true sense, a unit in
world affairs, spiritual partners
standing together because think
ing together, quick with common
sympathies and common ideals
Separated, they are subject to all
the cross-currents of the confused
politics of world of hostile riv-
alries; united in spirit and pur-
pose they cannot be disappointed
of their peaceful destiny.
This is Pan-Americanism.
1t has none of the spirit of
empire in 1t. 1t is the EN-
bOdiment, the effectual en-
bodiment, of the spirit of
law and independence and
liberty and mutual service"
The president then outlined his
plea for national defense.
Great democracies are not
belligerent," he said. "They dc
not seek or desire war. We in
sist upon security in prosecuting
our self chosen lines of national
development.
1--WE do more than that. We
demand it also for others. We
have set America aside as a whole
for the uses of the independent
nations and political freemen.
Against Aggression.
I'VE regard war merely as a
means of asserting the rights of
a people against aggression We
will not maintain a standing army
except for uses which are as ne
cessary in times of peace as in
times of war. But we do believe
in a body of free citizens ready
and sufficient to take care OF
themselves and the governments
which they have set up to serve
them.
"But war has never been a
mere matter of men and guns.
II our citizens are ever to fight
effectively upon a sudden sum-
mons, they must know how mod
ern fighting is done. And the
government must be their serv.
ant; must supply them with the
training they need totake care OF
themselves and of it. The mill.
tary arm of their government
they must properly use to make
their independence secure-and
not their own Independence mere.

with whom they have made COM

put in jeopardy. They must be
fitted to play the great role OF

It's a pleasure to sell a medi-
cine when customers come in aft
erward and tell you how much
good it has done them.
Druggists everywhere can tell
of this experience in their sale of
Mi-o-na, the well-known stomach
remedy. And that is the reason
why they are always glad to sell
and recommend Mi-o-na. It does
the work and ends all stomach
distress just like the Mi-o-na peo-
pie say it will. AS a result of
this success most every druggist
goes step further and sells Mi
! o-na on positive guarantee that
| unless It helps the purchaser he
can have his money back. That
may seem rash, but customers
have said so many good words in
Mi-o-na's favor that very few
packages are likely to be re-
turned.
Anyone who has dyspepsia,
whose food does not digest well,
and who has to take thought as
to what he can eat, and when,
can leave SO cents deposit at any
drug store and take home a box
of Mi-o-na and II the remedy does
not regulate his digestion and
help his dyspepsia he can with
draw his money.
This shows great faith in the
merit OF Mi-o-na. 1t Ia. really a
most unusual medicine and the
rapid increase of sales since it
was introduced In Tacoma shows
that 1t does all that 1t is claimed
to do---relieves dyspepsia, regu-
lates digestion and enables those
who use II to eat lust what they
want with no fear of trouble
after. Sold by Crown Drug Co.,

that the plans of the department

cussed.'
The navy building five year
program, endorsed in detail, was
said by the president to involve
"only shortening Of the time
within which plans long matured
shall be carried out"
Trade and shipping is another
problem of national adequacy,
the president declared, urging
the government ship purchase

specific appropriation.

particular problems of national
defense.
Observation of national re-
sources by the enactment of
conservation bills was urged.
For Ruray Credits.
1--WE should put into early
operation some provision for
rural credits, the president as
serted, without specifying any
particular plans. The transpor-
tation problem is an exceeding
ly serious and pressing one. The
regulation of the railroads by
federal commission has had ad-
mirable results" he continued.
The question is whether there
is anything We can do in the
very process of regulation for
lettering the conditions under
which the railroads are operated
and for making men more uso-
full servants of the country"

New to America.

New to America.
America never witnessed
anything like this before. 1t
never dreamed it possible that
men sworn into its own citizen
ship, men drawn out of great
free stocks such as supplied
some of the best and strongest
elements of that little but now
heroic nation that in a high
day of old staked its very life
to free itself from every entan-
clement that had. darkened the
fortunes of the older nations
and set up new standard here
that man of such origins and
such free choices of allegiance
would ever turn in malign re-
action against the government
and people who had welcomed
and nurtured them and seek to
make this proud country once
more a hotbed of European pas
sion.
But the ugly and incredible
thing has actually come about
and we are without adequate
federal laws to deal with 1t. |
urge you to enact such laws at
the earliest possible moment aud
feel that In doing SO l am urg-
ing you to do nothing less than
save the honor and self respect
of the nation. Such creatures Of
passion, disloyalty and anarchy
must be crushed out"
Another recommendation was
for steps to mobOlize United
States economic resources in
time Of national necessity. The
president indicated he plans to
ask prominent men in manufac-
turing and transportation circles
to consult with army and navy
officials to aid in solution of

Their number Is not great as
compared with the whole num-
Der of those sturdy hosts by
which our nation has been en-
riched in recent generations out
of virile foreign stocks, but 1t is
great enough to have brought
deep disgrace upon us and to
have made it necessary that we

the economic importance which
only an adequate merchant ma
rine would give IL, but also that
the American hemisphere as
whole should enjoy alike indie
pendence self sufficiency. II II Is
not to be drawn into the tangle
of European affairs.
Moreover, we can develop
no true or effective American
policy without ships of our
own--not ship of war, but
but ships of peace, carrying
goods and carry much more,
creating friendships and rem
dering indispensable service
to all interests ON this side
of the water.
They must move constantly
back and forth between the
Americas. They are the only
shuttles that can weave the deli
cate fabric of sympathy, eompre-
hension, confidence and mutual
dependence in which we wish 10
clothe our policy Of America for
Americans.
Legislation for alteration and
reform of the Philippines govern
ment and public justice to the
people of Porto Rico" were urged
by the president.
Revenue Needs.
Turning to revenue needs, the
president said IL the present.
war" tax and sugar duties were
discontinued and the national de-
Tense program enacted, the 1917
treasury deficit would aggregate
$297,000,000.
The first years cost of the
preparedness program, he said /,
would be 91,S00,000. BY re-
tanning the present war tax" and
sugar duties he estimated addi-
tional revenues OF $4,000, 900
annually must be provided to
cover the national defense ex-
pense.
Disappearing of a bond issue,
the president said
81 for one do not believe the
people approve postponing pay
ment of their bills.
I'VE should be following an
almost universal example of
modern governments were we to
draw the greater part or even
the whole of the revenues we
need from income taxes"
Lowering of present limits OF
income taxes and increases, step
by step, of our taxes on larger
incomes, was suggested.
Mentions New Taxes.
New internal taxes mentioned
by the president (which can just
ly BIO resorted to without hamp-
ering the industries of the
country or putting any too great
charge upon individual expendi-
ture" were:
Gasoline and naphtha, / cent
per gallon.,n yielding 100000
600.
Horsepower of automobile and
internal explosion engines, so
cents per horsepower, yielding
SIS, 100000.
Stamp tax on bank checks
$1S,000,000.
Pig iron, 25 cents a ton,
yielding $40, 100000.
Fabricated iron and steel, 80
cents a ton, yielding $10,000,0OO
Returning to necessity for
laws to deal with foreign plots
and conspiracies, the president
declared:
81 am sorry to say the
greatest threats against our
national peace have been ut
tered within our own Dor
ders. There are citizens OF
the United States, blush
to admit, born under for
eign flags, but welcomed un-
der our naturalization laws

tunity of America, who have
poured the poison of dis
loyalty into the very arteries

Pan-Americanism, partner
ship of the American against Eu-
ropean aggression, in common
causes of independence, political
liberty, economic development
and adjustments of the world war,
is the presidents conception of
the modern development of the
Monroe Doctrine.
Upon this broad foundation the
president based his plea for pre-
paredness, preparedness apply
Ing not only to the army and
navy, but to all national func-
tons, industrial, commercial, of

To Insure Peace.
Marshaling of the nations re-
sources, not for war, but to in
sure peace, in a union of the
American to maintain, secure
from European interference,
American ideas and ideals, was
the paramount thought pounded
home by the president.
The address, of about 1000
words, was the longest ever made
to congress by the president.
Scathing. scorching denuncia-
ton of hyphenated Americans
who preach and practice disloy-
atty" was a feature.
Among the presidents specific
recommendations were:
Secretary of War Garrison's
army reorganization plan.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels
navy building program.
A naval advisory council of de-
Tense.
Laws to deal with foreign plots
and conspirators.
Government ship purchase.
Increased taxes without bond

Investigation of railroad regu-

In dedication of the new era of
pan-Americanism and its bearing
upon necessity for United States
"self-sufficiency and security
the president graphically pictured
the present and future effects of
the war.
''There was time when the
United States looked upon itself
as I'm some sort the guardian of
the republics to the south of her.
said the president. every
thoughtful man of America must
welcome the altered circum-
stances of the new days I'm whose
Hight we now stand, when there
is no claim of guardianship or
thought of wards, but instead a
full and honorable association as
partners in the interest OF all
America. We still mean always
to make a common cause of ma
tional independence and political
liberty in America. But the pur.
pose is now better understood"
Citing Mexican affairs as an
example of the new doctrine, the
president continued:
Her fortunes are in her own
hands. But at least we have
proved that we will not take ad-
vantage of her in her distress and
undertake to impose upon her a
government of our own choosing.
We will aid and befriend Mexico,
but we will not coerce her; and
our course ought to be sufficient
