We can present the colossal ignor-
ance and selfishness of the senate by
naming Myers Of Montana, and Var
daman OF Mississippia They persuade
ed The majority OF the senate to vote
with. them whetl the question was
whether the senate should proceed TO
discuss water power bill or should
recognize the fact that an emergency
confronted the country and should
take up consideration Of the defense
bill.
Consider such man as Myers OF
Montana. Consider him because ne
carried a majority of the senator's with
him. Mr.. Myers is told that the de-
lenses of the country are Inadequate.
But,he has been informed that there
is mobile force OF. 100000 men IN the
regular establishment ready for any
contingency on the American conttn.
ent, He does not know who informed
him, Some one did. Tho fact, thus
established, is good enough for him.
He is told by Senator Borah that the
war department Is having the utmost
difficulty in assembling $4,000 men on
the Mexictll1 frontier forjan expedition
gainsf villa. That is something of
which the honorable senator knows
nothing. He ID quite certain that II
is not true. There are to the best OF
his knowledge, nearly 100000 men IN
the regular army. Consequently lO0,'
900 men are available for service.
:, He is told by Senator Borah ana
Senator Chamberlain that large mum,
her OF these men are in the colonial
nossessfons and In the coast defense.
THAT he iis sure, Is not his fault. He
has 'heen told that 100000 men are
