meet any enemy it could possibly meet
IN the Pacific, at the present time, as
soon as it could get there" That, no
doubt, Is true, for the only possible
enemy in the Pacific "at the present
time' Is Japan, and our navy is I'M
questionably large enough and power
ful enough to meet any fleet that
country could assemble, or would he
as the admiral says, as soon as we
could get 1t in the Pacific. But. the
layman may be permitted to ask. how
long would it take to get it there, and
could the Atlantic be left unprotectad9
IL we wanted to rush the navy through
the Panama canal at the present
time" we could not do it, and such an
obstruction as that which now nra-
vents traffic through the canal might
be created, by accident or design. when
we desired to shift our naval forces m

rather than probability, but the adj

cerned as to what brought the insur-
rection about The fact that the laws
of the state are being defied is enough
for him to know to justify him In ex-
ercising his authority. The fact that
the instruction grew out of an in
dustrial dispute should have no more
weight with the governor than if it
grew out of a political dispute, re.
ligious dispute or a dispute in any
other field in which there are conflict
ing opinions. The proposal to prevent
the use of the national guard to put
down Instruction growing out of in
dustrial disputes is a fine proposal to
come from an organization having the
pretentious name of Pacific Coast De-
tense league. Experience has shown
that we should be prepared to defend
ourselves against enemies from with
in as well as from without, and that
the man or men who undertake to
defy the laws and the regularly con-
stituted authorities are public enem-
les. The proposition to make a dis

MINING is NOT GAMBLING.
(The Annalist)

Man Is a social animal; is he also
essentially a gambling animal? Is II
true. as many allege, that fewer things
would be done, fewer things ventured
upon, were it not for the gambling
chance of profit? Speculation, gam.
bling, is looked upon as the risking of
little on the chance of making much.
Without such an incentive, it is often
argued, enterprise would languish and
material civilization would forthwith
decline. Is all this so? Does not the
argument arise from confusion of
ideas? The spirit of enterprise is not
quite the same thing as the gambling
