Jefferson on Preparedness.

National defense advocates
have raked up this passage from
a letter written by Thomas JEFF
ferson regarding the military
situation of the United States a
century ago.
1T proves more forcibly the
necessity of obliging every citi-
zen to be soldier. This was the
case with the Greeks and Ro-
mans and must be that of every
free state. Where there is no op-
preston there Will be no pauper
hlrellngs. We must train and
classify the whole of our male
citizens and make military in
struction a regular part of col
ieglate education. We can never
be safe until this IS done.
ms expression has peculiar
weight because nobody will ac-
cuse Jefferson, the ardent demo-
crat and individualist, of being
militar;St or consciously san
tloning anything calculated to
limit the personal freedom of
citizens. 1t was written. too. not
in a time of war or public stress.
but in JefferSon's retirement at
Monticello, in 1919. 1t was ap-
parently a deliberate judgment
OF a proper military policy for
the country.
1t is natural enough for such
utterance to be seized upon with
enthusiasm by the champions Of
universal military training at q
moment when preparedness is
the chief public issue. 1t isn't
necessary, however, to swallow
1t whole without reflection.
There is little question TODAY
about the desirability of increas.
ing the trength of our army anc
navy, adding to our coast de
lenses, accumulating a stock OF
munitions sufficient for few
months of warfare on a moderr
scale, and preparing a reserve O.
several hundred thousand citi
zen soldiers as a reserve force
But the country isn't ready t,
accept the universal compulsor,
training principle, and isn't like
ly to do so except in a crisis o
the utmost gravity.
Even if universal training wa
desirable when the nation wa
one-twelfth it's present size
and Jefferson never persuade,
his fellow citizens that it wa
it can hardly be necessar,
when there are 100,000,0OO O
US. We can't imagine a condition
that required all our men to de
fend the country.
Such pretentious demands hav
no chance at present, anyhow

A King Worth While.

From the Jackson, Miss, News:
He rode on the observation
platform of a cotton wagon.
His fieecy staple had just
brought II cents per pound.
The money was down in his
pocket.
No man had an account against
him of a dime.
The mules trotted along over
the smooth pavement and his
wagon was we'll filled with things
needed for the family larder.
A neat bundle over in the
corner contained a dress pat
tern. ten yards of blue checked
gingham for the faithful wife.
The little bag was full of can
dy for the baby.
H whistled as Pete and Buck
turned their heads homeward.
1t was near eventide; a few
clouds had gathered over in the
west and the sun was cutting
strange capers with these bill
lows of tie sky.
There we're islands of gold
floating IN deep blue sea; there
were mountains kissed with the
colors of the rainbow; no painter
could have made a prettier pic
ture; no. dreamer could have
visited a scene more splendid
in all the mysterious realm OF
sunderland.
The occupant of the wagon
enjoyed the ride.

The man who loves peace puts
up the best fight when occasion
for it arises. He wishes to get
the unpleasantness over as
quickly as possible, and get back
to his peaceful pursuits.
To live at peace is the better
way. To keep sweet in a world
where strife prevails is the part
of finer manhood.
And yet it is not we'll to over
look the fact that, although this
day is one of perfect harmony,
tomorrow may bring forth
seventeen different varieties of
trouble.
A nation of peace-loving peo-
pie should have the necessary
equipment and hardware for
homicide and destruction laid
up against that day when its
people shall be called upon to
take the war path.
1t is we'll to think and live
and talk brotherly love and good
will, but always in the back of
ones mind should be the
thought: IF I am forced into
trouble, l shall so conduct myself
that trouble will give me wide
berth hereafter"
A certain little shrimp once
refused to take exercise to de-
velop his muscles. NO." said he,
81 am saving my muscle" His
theory sounded good, but it lack
ed the virtue of practicability.
The school boy who will not
learn to box or otherwise defend
himself offers fertile field for
the operations of the school
bully.
The way to preserve peace is
not to prepare for war, but
rather to prepare for the pre-
serving of peace.
The distinction is one of state
of mind, rather than one of
method.
The man who totes a pistol
among peaceful folk where there
is no promise of strife, is pre-
pared for war. He is looking for
trouble, unconsciously or other
wise desiring it in order that he
may have opportunity to vim
dicate the wisdom of his prepar
edness. The man who totes a.
pistol when duty calls him
among folk who, by their record
and professions, are disposed to
make trouble for the unprotect-
man is merely prepar-
I'D to preserve peace, and all
reason and decent morality up
hold his course.
We are a nation Of peace-Iov-
ing, industrious, home-making
people. We ask nothing better
than to be let alone. But since,
in all probability, other nations
VIII disturb our quiet and tread
upon us, let us be prepared to
strap on guns and fight like hell
possessed when patience ceases
to be virtue and there is no
longer hope of retaining peace,
liberty and self respect without
an appeal to the form of argu-
ment that made us a nation.

And they only hurt the cause of
legitimate and rational prepared
ness. The public has made an
enthusiastic response to the pre-
sident's non-partisan appeal for
his proposed preparedness pro-
gram, but neither the public nor
congress is likely to go much fur
ther than the administration has
suggested without some new
and compelling reason.-Flor-

Papers Join
in Criticism
of America

Berlin. Sept. 90, tvia London, Sept.
30, 1880 a. m.)-Practically all Ber-
lin newspapers contribute to the bitter
criticism being made of Americans
who have joined the French army. The
news of the death in action Of Flight
Lieutenant Kitten Rockwell has pre-
'cipitated a storm of criticism.
The Post says that the presence OF
Rockwell and others in enemy camps
cannot be regarded as the acts of in
dividuals, but declares that America
sends its own citizens to European
theaters of war to fight Germany. The
paper says that the Rockwell incident
shows ito what a depth regard for
neutrality has sunk among our enc
mics and in America. Such an I'M
heard of conception of neutrality de-
serves to be labelled in the plainest
way and not to be forgotten"
The Tagliche Rundschau speaks of
the concept of neutrality as entirely
lost and the Kreuz Zeitung, Germania
and Boersen Zeitung print similar
statements.
