cept Great Br. tain.
Shall we accept the views of
the leader Of the Atlantic fleet Or
the clamor Of "patrio'ic" defense
leagues that are now playing the
game of the war traffickers and
the people who want to make
their nj lions by selling NUM-
tions to the government?
'England's navy is two and
ore-half times as large as Ger
:nany's. Then why can't En-
glands navy destroy Germany's
navy and lombard the German
coast cities. Why the allies fail
ure before the defenses Of the
DarIenelles? The answer is to
be found in the submarine. the
mine and coast Notifications.
why have the German war
ships failed to force their way by
the Russian Notifications at Riga
and thus cooperate with Won
Hinderberg's army? The an
swer is again, the submarine the
mine and the coast defense.
IF these facts prove anything
they prove that the size of the
fl ct has nothing to do with ma
rion's safety. With three times
the guns, the men and the ships
the allies dare not attack the
German coast,
INCREASE IN NAVY
ITO judge by the talk Of the
jingoes, one woult! imagine tha,
the Wilson administration has
done nothing to prepare the coun
try to resist a foreign invader.
Here are the facts:
During the first two years of
the present administration we
voted twice as mach for new
ships as was Joted for the same
purpose during the last two years
of Taft's d ministration and more
than was appropriated the entire
four years of Mr.. Roosevelt's
term.
Certainly this record ought to
arouse the people of this country
end cause them to ask not how
much more shall be poured out,
but when will it end.
Are we to have the first nation
to be showed into bankruptcy by
the burdens of militarism? Is it
not enough that We should in the
ten years proceeding the Euro
pean war, have expended on our
navy 5000, 100000 more than did
any other nation, except Great
Britain?
THE JINGOES LOBBY
Those who share Mr.. Kitchens
views do not hesitate to charge
that certain selfish interests are
financing the campaign in favor
of vast expenditures for SO called
national preparedness" l do
not think there can be any ques-
ton about the truth OF these as
sertions. From some source
vast sums of money are flowing
out into the Golfers of tbs various
defense" societies. In the last
issue of the Commoner, Bryan
and Congressman Warren Worth
Bailey demanded a Congressional
investigation of these organiza-
tons and of the 'insidious lobby
which they have brought to
Washington. gress m a n
Glide Iavenner, the brilliant
Young Representative from Hi
nois, promptly announced his in
tentions to introduce a resolution
calling for such an Inquiry and

District.
In last weeks letter | pointed
out that those who publicly dis
cussed the question of National
Preparedness might be fairly
divided into the following classes
First, Those who believe our
army and navy are big enough.
Second. Those who accept
P.r.7,,;,,,ic Wilson's plan which
Tails ior an increase Of about
$3.50. 600. 00) gear in our appro-
l.tl.luons for army and navy.
Third The Mi;itarists or jim
yues" who insist that we must
lave u slaudlng army OF from
$4,000 men ana navy at least
Il; !l"g- as Great Britain S. These
men would nave an increase il
cur appropriations from $500, 600
900 to $3.50, 100000, sums which
it is impossible for the finite
mind to grasp.
This week we will consider the
arguments advanced by the
champions of Proposition No. l.
Next week we will hear the Pres
ident and his friend: and the fol-
lowing week the jingoes will be
given tn Stage.
A DISTINGUISHED OPPOS[
TON.
The men who oppose an in
crease in the army and navy do
not make as much noise as the
militarist but they lack nothing
either in numbers, influence or
ability. A cause whi.n numbers
among the supporters William j.
Bryan, David Jtarr jordan. Gen
eral Isaac r. Sherwood, hero OF
a hundl ed battles, Congressman
Claude Kitchen, Henry Ford and
scores of other men whose names
are known in every hamlet in tbs
Land, cannot be dismissed with
out hearing. No sane man will
question the patriotism or intel
lectuaI force of thsSe gentlemen
Congressman, Claude Kitchen,
is relied on to present their cause
TO Congress and therefore we
will permit him to speak for them
now. But first word about
Kitchen. He is from North Car
olina, is 46 years old, has been in
Congress fourteen years, is a
great lawyer and charming ora
tor and only a few months ago
was unanimously designated rs
floor leader by the Democratic
mai )rity in the House Of Repre-
sentatives. He is by no IN cans
a little fellow.

IN MEMoRIAM.

In remembrance of our dear baby,
HARVEY ALOYSIUS, beloved baby
of Madeline and Hiram Hewett, who
departed his life, Friday, September
10, 1915. Gone but not forgotten.
Gone from earth; yes, gone forever,
Our eyes shall gaze in vain;
We shall hear his voice, oh! never
Never more on earth again.
Home Is sad, oh! God how dreary.
To take our darling away;
Listen for his voice till weary,
Weary for we hear him not.
Our home is dark without thee
We miss thee everywhere;
How he suffered but now rejoicing,
With the angels up in heaven.
Sleep on, dear Harvey, sleep.
So many hours of pain you've horned
But now you are sleeping quietly:
Dear Harvey we viii meet again.

WHATS AN EDITOR,
ANYHOW

A little village boy was given the
stunt by his father TO write an es-
say on editors and here is the result:
Don't know how newspapers
came TO be in the world. don't
think God does for he haint got
nothing to say about them and edi-
tors ~ the Bible. / think the edit

read Of, and stays in the bushes un-

and wrote the thing mp, and has
been here ever since. don't think
he ever died.
never saw dead one and never
heard of one getting licked. Our
paper is a mighty fine one; but the
editor goes without underclothes all
winter and don't wear any socks,
and paw amt paid his subscription
since the paper started. ] asst paw
If that was why the editor had TO
suck the juice out of snowballs IN
winter and go to bed when he had
his shirt wasn't in summer. And
then paw took me out to the wood
shed and licked me awful hard. ii
the editor makes q mistake folks say
he ought to be hung, bat if a doctor
makes any mistakes he buries them
and the people dassant say nothing,
because the doctor can read and
write Latin.
When the editor makes a mis-
take there is a lawsuit and swearing
and big fuss; but il n doctor makes
one there is a funeral, cut flowers

word . yard long without him or
anybody knowing what it means;

On Tuesday. September 90, and
Tuesday, October 5, the registration
Offices of the various districts will
be open for the enrolment of voters
not already on the books, and un-
less your name appears upon the
books you cannot vote in the coming
General Election. To qualify as a
voter is a sacred duty that an eliga-
BILE owes TO himself and to the State,
and il. a time like this, when so
many vital issues confront the cleo
torate, the timely expression of the
Sun of recent date is most appro-
pirate:
IF a man has no public spirit,
pure selfiseness ought to make him
take hard in the game of govern
ment, because this game as it is
played by the politicians concerns
him at every turn. The man who
doesn't register and who doesn't
vote is the real political criminal,
and not the bosses or machines whom
he commissions by his negligence to
do as they please.
This lecture is intented for you,
Sir, who read this article. il you
are still unregistered; and il you
are registered, we hope you will
pass it along to the man who isn't,
that he may see himself as others
see him.
Sooner or later, if political lag
CARDS do not mend their ways, we
may have a compulsory registration
and voting law, or a system of for
feiturGs by which the vote of the
negligent male may be transferred
to his wife or some feminine mem
Der OF his family. That would be
a punishment that would lit the
crime; and il this penalty were in
force today, there would be such a
rush to the registration Offices as
has never been witnessed before.

A FINE CELEBRATION

The celebration of independence
Day at Thatcher was one of the
grandest events that has ever oc.
Cured in the valley. 1t was a fine
celebration and the immense crowd,
gathered from every part of Gra-
ham county, enjoyed thoroughly
the program prepared for the day.
The parade was one of the best
ever gotten up in this section for
the celebration of the nations birth
day. The exercises. from beginning
to end, exemplified the patriotism
of the people of Graham county
and We're a most enjoyable feature.
The ball game, athletic sports, horse
races and wrestling match kept up
the interest of the people through
out the afternoon.
The celebration wound up in the
evening with grand display Of
fireworks.

USE OF KEROSENE

That the consumption of kerosene
per capita in this country is greater
today than ever before is asserted
by Henry Nash, in charge of the
Cleveland Foundry Company exhibit
in the Palace of Manufactures,
Panama Pacific International Expo
sition. The reason for this" said
Mr.. Nash, is because the manu-
facture of both kerosene and kero
sene consuming devices has kept
pace with modern times. Conse-
quently it is both economical and
convenient to heat our houses and
cook our meals by means of kero-
sene.
Take cur New Perfection Cook
stove, for instance, 100000 of
which are now in use. It's as con,
venient and easily controlled as a
gas stove. Simply touch match
and your heat is ready-clean, eff
ficient, and any degree you need.
No waiting for fires to catch up,
and when cooking is done, your
fuel expense stops. 1t roasts, toasts,
boils, bakes as well as any wood or
coal range, and it doesn't heat up
the kitchen. This is a blessing for
housewives in summer. And there
is no wood, coal or ashes to lug, no
dirt to clean up.
Our perfection heater is equally
cOnVenient. 1t is almost indispensi-
BILE, even in homes having furnaces,
1t supplies warmth quickly for bath
room, bed room, nursery, sewing
room, dining roem-anywhere in
the house. You can easily carry it,
lighted, from room to room, as
needed. 1t saves furnace expense
especially between seasons. "

AWARDED GRAND PRIZE

The Jury of Awards at the Pana-
ma.Pacific International Exposition
has awarded the Southern Pacific
Company the grand prize for its dis
play of equipment in the Transpor-
tation building, thereby placing the
official stamp of approval on what
has been recognized as one of the
most instructive exhibits of the
change in development of track, car
and locomotive in the last half
century.
On one of the tracks stands &C.
P. No. |" the old G. ?, Huntington
the first locomotive of the Central
Pacific, itself the first tranSconti
mental railroad. 1t was built in 1868,
when locomotives were so few that
they were called by name, and shipped
around the Horn. Its total weight
is 80, 900 pounds.
In contrast with it is Southern
Pacific Mallet locomotive 4043 on an
adjacent track. 1t was built in 1912,
one of the largest in the word.
Fitted with electric incandescenr
nitrogen headlight, by which an
engineer can see man on the track
quarter of mile away, or about
twice the distance needed to stop
train at forty miles an hour, and
with cab in front. 1t reflects the
advancement of half a century. Its
total weight is 625, 900 pounds.
Locomotive 1857, an EIGHT
wheeler" is cut away in sections so
that the electrically operated valves
and piston can be seen as in actual
operation. Steel coach 1906, built
by the. company in 1905, is the first
of its kind in the world.
Southern Pacific automatic safety
block signals, operating in a glass
case, electric steel motor car, c. P,
349, a double-sheathed box car,
Pacific Fruit Express refrigerator
car, a steel postal car and shop pro-
ducts make up the balance of the
prize-winning display.
