become a candidate, is Frank g..
Kellogg, one of the ablest and best

Reports from Washington are to
the effect that at the coming session
of congress the senate will alter the
rules of cloture. This should have
been done long ago, as the custom of
unlimited debate has often enabled
a few long winded members of the
American house of lords to kill con.
structive legislation. Undoubtedly
some undesirable measures have also
been talked to death, but that the
minority should be able to block the
will of the majority is wrong in prin-
ciple.

REASONABLE PREpAREDxEss.

REASONABLE PREPAREDNESS.
''The Writing on the Wall'' is the
caption of an interesting article on
preparedness by Eric Wood Fisher in
the Century for November. Mr..
Fisher is not lingo or militarist;
he was an attache of the American
embassy in, Paris at the outbreak of
the European war, where his execu-
tive and linguistic abilities were
highly appreciated.
Mr.. Fisher quotes sayings from the
founders of the American republic
in favor of policy of reasonable
preparedness for war by this country,
which are as applicable today as they
we're more than hundred years ago ::
"The United States ought not to
indulge persuasion that, con:
trary to the order of human events.
they will forever keep at distance
those painful appeals to arms with
which the history of every other
nation abounds. There is a rank due
to the United States among nations
which will be withheld if not abso-
lutely lost by the reputation of
weakness. If we desire to avoid
insult, we must be able to repel it; if
we desire to secure peace, one of the
most powerful instruments of our
rising prosperity, it must be known
that we are at all times ready for
war. "-George Washington.
"The rights of neutrality will
only be respected when they are
defended by an adequate power. y
Alexander Hamilton.
1.-The history of the late wars in
Europe furnishes complete demon
stration that no system of conduct,
however correct in principle, can
protect neutral powers from injury
from any party; that defenseless
position and distinguished love of
peace are the surest Invitations to
war; and that there is no way to
avoid it, otherwise than by being al
ways prepared and willing, for just
cause, to. meet it. '.-James Monroe.
Mr.. Fisher then goes on the say
that. "There are very strong argu-
ments against our possessing large
standing army, but there is no valid
argument against reasonable military
preparedness. In this country those
who do not demand better prepared
ness for national defense have
either not had sufficient opportunity
to study the matter, or they suffer
from a mental blind spot-a blind
spot like that which renders the
habitual criminal incapable Of seeing
that crime does not pay.
"My observations aud experiences
in the war zone have led me to a
conclusion that is concurred in by
each and every American who has
had opportunity to study the appaIl-
ing condition now prevailing in Eu-
rope, which is that the only natural
insurance against unprovoked attack
is reasonable military preparedness.
Among the most ardent of it's advo-
Gates whom I have interviewed since
the wars beginning are Americans
who had journeyed to Switzerland to
an international peace conference,
and were there caught by the sud-
den outbreak of hostilities. They
could not fail to perceive that
reasonable military preparedness,
and that alone, had saved Switzer.

peace, but they demand it at the
price of preparedness.
