Governor George A. Carlson. who
epoke at the mass meeting last night.
Governor Carlson made an earnest
and eloquent plea for armament for
defense. He reviewed the. results of
our unpreparedness in the Spanish
American war and the results which
we would reap II war should come
upon US now.
I'VE can have peace only when We
compel it," he said I'VE even had to
wrest our liberty from a powerful
king on the field of battle. We are
not prepared to compel peace at the
present time.
4 care noA what your view is
about war or the possibility of war.
but l know that every red-blooded
citizen will soon tire of this weak
defensive condition in which we find
ourselves. / know that it is the de-
sire of every one of US TO uphold the
hands of the president in any crisis
in which he finds himself, but II we
should learn that war was an immi-
nent necessity how many Of us would
be iit to go into war and uphold the
arms of the country?
Z may say that love peace; |
may prove the futility of war. but the
time has now passed for the word,
man. the useless critic. 1t is the time
of the active man who can do for his
country.
Not so long ago we were shocked
by the tragedy of the Lusltania. IT,
looked for awhile like war. War did
not come. bat it showed us that war
IS not an :saross.hiil.y and that q.
any hour word may come from across
the sea that will embroil us in this
gigantic struggle. 1t showed US that
the time has come for preparation.
wh must be prepared for defense.

NEW YORK, August 23-Philadel-
phia persistently refuses to be ousted
from the lead in the National League
race. while Boston, quite as obstinate

even with Cincinnati, while Pat Mo-
rams men were administering double
defeat to the Chicago Cubs. The lead l.
ers thereby increased their lead over
the Robins to eleven points.

close struggle being staged in the Ma
