Public opinion has been absolutely use
less as regards Belgium, as regards
Armenia, as regards Poland. No man
can assert the contrary with sincerity
if he takes the trouble to examine the
facts.
1t remains therefore for us to pre-
to you very strongly the speeches and
statements of Congressman Augustus
P. Gardner on this subject
For Is months, with this world cy-
clone before our eyes we as a nation,
have sat supine without preparing IL
any shape or way 1t is an actual fact
that there has not been one soldier,
one rifle, one gun, one boat, added to
the American Army or Navy SO far.
because of anything that has occurred
in this war, and not the slightest stem
has yet been taken looking toward
the necessary preparedness. Such ma
tional shortsightedness, such national
folly, is almost inconceivable. We have
had ample warning to organize
scheme OF defense. We have abso-
lutely disregarded the warning. and
the measures so far officially adyo-
cated are at best measures of half
preparedness. and as regards the large
aspect OF the question, are not even
that.
Nays Utility
We should consider our national mil
itary policy as a whole. We must pre-
pare a well thought out strategic
scheme, planned from the standpoint
OF our lasting national interests, and
steadily pursued by preparation and
the study of experts, through a course
OF years. The navy is our first line Of
defense, but it must be remembered
that it can be used wisely for defense

We all know that the one safeguard
against pauperism by the countries OF

"Titanic" Wheat.

The Agriculture department has
recently been advised by CORES
pondent in California that variety
of wheat is being advertised under
the name "Titantic.'' The assertion
is made that it is a new variety of
wheat discovered in England about
four years ago, and that a small
quantity of seed was brought to the
United States by one OF the survi-
yors of the Inflated Titanic. The
wheat is represented as having ex-
tremely high yielding power, the re-
turns reaching as high as 1000
fold. A photograph sent by this
correspondent shows head ident-
ical in appearance with the widely
exploited Alaska" wheat. Five
acres of the wheat are said to be
growing in the State of Washington,
and the seed, it is believed, will be
offered at high prices after harvest.
The department has no further or
more definite information concern
ing this variety, but farmers and
dealers are cautioned to be on their
guard concerning this new exploit
alton.

unanimous, and by acclamation..
There was no fly in the Demo
cratic convention ointment, as there
was in the Republican convention,
with Theodore Roosevelt to reckon
with, and everything moved
smoothly.
The platform adopted is a
lengthy one. Its main points are
Americanism and preparedness and
in it the party points with pride
to achievements of the past four
years.
It might lie said there is not a
world of difference in the main
features Of the two old party plat.
forms. Both are long on Amer

make similar declarations con-
corning woman suffrage. In fact,
both old parties considered woman
suffrage from the same viewpoint.
They were afraid to either endorse
it or reject it, so put the matter up
to the individual States, and got
out of d trying situation very
gracefully. There are other
points of similarity, but any.
way, platforms, as a rule, are
pretty generally discarded after
the election, for it is the men
at the head of the tickets that are
the dominating factors, and
both parties are satisfied they
have the strongest man for
the place this year. hence the
campaign that has already begun,
may be expected to be live one.
In all likelihood the voters will
have plenty of opportunities to
hear and see the presidential nom
inees, as both are expected to take
the stump in their behalf, and it
may be remarked both are men of
brilliant intellectual attachments
and able speakers, hence the pros
poets are for campaign that will
be well worth while.
