If Any Navy, a Proper One

Upon oross-examination, II appears
that many OF the Presidents oppon-
ents are willing to continue maintain
ing our present army and navy
strength. Further inquiry brings to
light the fact that they regard our
existing naval strength as very great.
and perhaps, second only to that of
Great Britain. 1t follows, then. that
they are prepared to hold that the
United States should have a navy.
and that this navy should be a power
ful one. It becomes merely a oues-
ton of expert opinion as to what con-
stitutes a proper navy at this time.
President Wilson now believes that
the navy should be very considerably
developed. and in this view he is sus-
tanned by his entire cabinet, by every
one connected with the army and
navy. and by almost every civilian
whose study OF the subject would
seem to Justify an expression of opin-
ION. Ever since he has been In Office
President Wilson has regarded the
maintenance OF honorable peace as the
highest duty with which he was
charged. Surely there is no one who
would for moment deliberately ques-
tion so obviously Just a statement.
The same thing could be said with
equal truth OF President Taft. Presi-
dent Roosevelt. President Mckinley.
President Cleveland, and their prede-
cessors. a year ago, when he did not
think IL wise TO press for immediate
army and navy extension, President
Wilson had the welfare and peace Of
this country in mind, precisely as he
has them in mind today when he ac-
cepts the view that we ought to pro-
vide more adequately for national de-
fense.--From THE Progress OF the

Mother

Many of us who read much and in
discriminatory. or who by reason OF
opportunities and long life. have heard
the verbal gems OF orators. have in
one way or the other read or listened
to SOME beautiful tributes to a moth
er. We recall OF none that Is more
beautiful than the following written
by w. G. Sibley, the editor OF tho
Gallipols Tribune. when his aged
mother died:
Never has there been, i'm poetry or
prose music OF sculpture or painting,
complete or wholly satisfying def
milton or description OF n good moth
err There never can be one spring
from a human brain, for motherhood
is too closely allied with divinity in
its various manifestations OF love to
be limned by human hand or ade-
quately understood by a mortal. on
ly in Gods heaven can there be a
fitting setting for the full realization
of all a good mother is or was to those
she bore and nourished and loved with
faithfulness and intensity beyond
anything else earth and it's mortality
knows.
Mother is the name that holds men
TO every honorable principle with the
silken-soft and life-strong ties of love
unspeakable, and shames us all when
we think OF our oft inflrmities OF con
duct and thought. The mother alone
relinQuishes all, risks all, to bring us
into the world; and after we are here
her life and happiness and hope are
bound up In us to the last conscious
moment, and l doubt not that she
carries with her into the unfathom-
able mysteries of eternity that undy-
ing love, TO await there opportunity
for It's renewed manifestations. When
our turn shall come to close our
eyes forever to this grief-burdened
globe who can doubt the mother waits
there with Joyous greetings"

In Support of the Garrison Plan

The favorite criticism OF Secretary
Garrison's plan for continental army
has been that IL was not practical.
This opinion has been repeated by
newspapers, politicians and other lay
authorities who have suddenly quail
fed, through their own unaided ef-
forts, as eminent military experts.
On the other hand. before the Sen
ate military committee, Major Gen
Scott, chief of stan of the army. has
given unqualified support to the con
tinental army plan. He declared that
at least five months would be saved
In building up an army OF defense in
the emergency OF war.
Major Gen. Bliss. assistant chief of
stan, has likewise indorsed Secretary
Garrison's plan as the only one that
appeared satisfactory or contemplated
a definite policy Major Gen. Leonard
Wood has also declared himself in
favor OF the continental army plan
substantially as proposed by the war
department. provided that "it is abso-
luteiy divorced from the organized
militia"
In their appraisal Of the merits Of
the continental army scheme these
three generals are virtually IN accord.
All would like 10 sec universal milf
tary service. but, as Cen Bliss re-
marks, Il is discussed by army Off
GERS as an academic question, in view
Of the obvious fact that the country
would not tolerate the system
In the opinion Of Gems. Scott. Bliss
and Wood, the continental army plan
submitted to Congress is not imprac-
tical; Il is the only hope Of progress
toward army preparedness. Their
o2inion Us supplemented by that OF
Elihu Root, one of the ablesl Score.
taries OF War this country ever had
who says. There are good things IN
Secretary Garrison's plan. The doing
Of them would be progress in the
right direction. Don't lose these good
things even though you may find that
you can't get something more I'm the
same direction"
This is a common sense view Of the
situation that ought to appeal to all
