Life a Reiun Of Terror,

In the American Magazine a writer says:
 For most men life is a modified reign of terror. Three fears get up with them in the morning and go to bed with them at night They do not confess to one another that they are afraid but their wives know.
 At night, after the children have been sent to bed, they sit by the fire the average man and his wife, and face their three fears:
 First. the fear of the loss of the job.
 "Second, the fear of bad health.
 ''rhird, the fear of u dependent old age"

IN PREPAREDNESS THE AID MtNtsTRATloN HAS FOL
 LOWED. NOT LED.

In the demand for reasonable preparedness the Administra- iion has followed, not led. Those who demanded more adequate forces were first described as nervous and excited" Only about a year and half ago we ware told that the question Of preparedness was not a press ing one; that the country had been misinformed Later. under the pressure of other leader ship. this attitude was changed. The Administration 1t was said, had learned something" and t made a helaled demand for an increased army Even ghea. the demand WAS not prose. euted consistently and the pres sure exerted on Congress with respect to other Administrative measures was notably absent
 We are told that the defects revealed by the present mCsiii, zatieh are due Co the system" But 1t was precisely such plain defects that under the constant warnings Of recent years. with the whole world intent on mAi- tary concerns. should have been studied and rectifed. The Ad- ministration has failed Co dis charge It's responsibilities. Alp parently, it is now seeking to meet political exigeneies by its naval program. But it has i'm posed upon the country an in competent naval administration. From Mir. Hughes speech of acceptance.

We had not obtained the salute which was demanded We had not obtained repara ton for affsonts. The ship with ammunition which could not land at Vera Cruz had soon landed at another port and its cargo was delivered to Huerta without interference.
