OUR NAVAL f

In spite OF hysterical attacks upon
b American navy. experts al Wash
ington estimate that we have still the
third naval strength IN the world.
We are stronger than France. than
Russia. than Italy or Japan. II these
great nations. each OF them living
under more perilous conditions. than
a possibly threaten the United
states. manage TO get along with
their present naval strength. It
would seem that the United States
Is not in great danger. As a matter
or fact no nation is likely 10 attack
the United States. England will not
do so. because England fears for
Canada. Germany can't do so under
present conditions. and she is likely
to have little reason to want TO do
so for years TO come. Japan might at.
tack and take the Philippines. hut
Japan has ample problems of her
" on the Asiatic mainland. and Ger.
tainly h will not increase these
problems until the present war Is
disposed Of. Moreover. Japan has
set us a good example by Voluntarily
limiting her own expenditures for
army and nav purposes.
The terrorists who are lust now
strenuously forcing an ENLARGED army
and navy hin through Congress. have
failed TO make a serious case.

Reform Is the watchword in New

sees the mess which recent demo

everybody anti II cleaned up. Many
democrats voted for Mr.. Whitman
because of a conviction that ne pos
sessed both the spirit and the ability
10 perform the work: and they will
support him in every step he takes
with that object distinctly in view.

plan to pull off the annual Horse
Show and such other features Of the

worth while.
While the program at Denver this
year will be some different. AS the

Three reasons are given bv the,
