WHAT LIQUOR DOES TO THE
WORKINGMAN'S TREASURY

The average total expenditures OF
Asst families investigated, according
to Streightoff. was $76S.54 each year,
The average acknowledged expendi-
ture for liquor of one-haif OF these
families was $24.53. The reluctance
of wives TO admit any expenditure for
liquor indicates that these figures are
very far below the truth.
This liquor item exceeded the size
respectively of the expenditures for
lighting, taxes, property insurance, la
Dor. religion. charity. books and news
papers. and amgsements.

UNITED STATES STRONGEST NATION ON EARTH

The sensational newspapers have put this county IN
bad to common slang expression, by taking aoou
our weak defenseless condition. Many foreigners, u-
familiar as they are with America and the American
peope even the MeXcans have come to think that we are
in no position to defend rights and interests and TINS
has led them to do things and their newspapers ana
statesmen to giving expression to views on the SuOecI
that are calling the American pride and spirit Many OF
our people are becoming anxious to have the opportunity
arise which will enable the United States to show the
world that is the most powerful nation on earth should
the occasion arise for such a showing of strength
Should the crisis facing the United States result IN
orders placing the United States more nearly on war
basis 1926 ATS members Of the organized militia could be
put under arms within tWenty-four hours By recruiting
the present commands up to war strength which could be
accomplished in very few days, this force could be
brought up to 1000 men.
And by organizing the units in which the militia now
is deficient the citizen sodiey would have estimated
strength of $4,000 men.
These facts were obtained the other day from officials
of the war department which, in view of the possibility Of
armed intervention in Mexico, have been giving the sub
ect close attention. Everything is ready for call to arms
should the occasion require it,
In addition to these figures, it is learned the present
strength Of the naval militia is 728 officers and men and
if recruited up to war strength the total would be over
$4,000 partly trained men,
Besides these trained men, for a nucleus around which

army that ever marched to battle.
Our navy is the finest Of its size afoat and in size not
more than two nations excel it, while many of their vessels
are antquated and unfit for actual service Ours are

The Capital journal is opposed to the building up of
great military establishment because we have no need to
load the burden of its mainanance upon the people as
European nations have done. Our great strength in
population and resources, and our natural defensive
position makes such an institution unnecessary strong
and effectively organized navy should be maintained
What is most to be depored in this connection is the
constant newspaper talk about our weakness from a
military point of view. 1t may lead some foreign nation
into making foolish bluff that will arouse the sleeping
American giant to the necessity of giving somebody a
sound trOuncing.
