Economy in Security.

ut is not for me to specify the pro-
visions for naval defense. Since mod

of brains, SO must naval defense be de-
vised in highest intelligence Let US

cost of insurance against accident,

ed a fixed charge upon his income,
is worth its cost, in peace of mind,
though loss never attends. Moreover,
under any system security is economy
itself.
There are manifest differences about
our developments for military defense.
The President made a trip from the
coast to the valley OF the Missouri to
tell the American people the need of
preparedness. 1t might have been more
seemly to tell the story to Congress,
for that body was In session and en-
powered to act, and seemingly ever
ready to testify obedience. However,
Congress undertook to provide army
for defense and the majority wobbied
b>tween pacitication and preparedness
until the republican minority in the
Senate put something real in the pend
ing measure. We republicans made a
rational response to the call of the
land but democratic insufficiency and
inefficiency are recorded in the con-
ference-amended act, and a federal nj

triots and pap to the paternalists and
federal fertilizer to the farmers in COM

cratic majority.
Until the civilized world is pledged
and repledged to peace, and until civil
lization commits nations to the nobler
practices of the individuals who con-
stitute them, in which ] would have
America lead. this republic will have
need for basic army and a ready pro-
vision for military defense. We have
territory to defend, we have independ
ence to preserve, we have lives to safe
guard, we have property to protect, we
have rights to assert, we have missions
of humanity to perform. We proclaim
justice and we love peace and we mean
to have them-and we are not too
proud to fight for them.

Policy of Protective Tariff.

Subsistence is the first requisite of
existence, and we have the higher
American standard of living because
of the republican protective policy
which makes of Americans the best
paid workmen in ali the world. Out of
the abundance of employment and
higher compensation, together with the
beckoning opportunity which offers
every reward, we Americans have at
tracted the laborers Of the earth and
set new standards here.
1T is not for me to put the stamp of
relative Importance on pending issues
the intelligent voters Will determine
that for themselves. But l know what
they are thinking, and they believe
that the protective policy which made
us industrially and commercially emf
nent is necessary to preserve that emf
nence. l know they want it restored
and maintained. For myself prefer
protective and productive tariff which
prospers America first. ! choose the
economic policy which sends the Amer
lean workingmen to the savings banks
rather than the souphouseS. I COM
mend the plan under which the health
full glow of prospering business is re-
nected in every face from the great
captain Of industry to the schooling
child Of the daily wageearner.

Inspiration Of Ardmore Citizen
Resulted in the Building of a College

years ago. 1t has remained in the
same city. 1t has grown some every
year; it has expanded; it has been
made more useful and the founder has
determined that Peacocks School
shall live when its founder is gone.
On a recent trip to Dallas the
founder of the school, DR.. ]. S. Lank-
ford, met his first pupil. He was
entertained in the home of the pupil.
and in order to make his school per
manent he gave Mr.. Trask an order
for a $4,000 policy in favor of the
school.
Mr.. Trask has proven to be one of
the most valuable men in the employ
OF the Southland. He is the man who
writes the big policies and does the
big businss.
A new feature IN insurance has
been inaugurated in the past few
years. That feature is the insuring
of business against the loss of the
life of the chief executive of the bust
Eess. There was brought to light an
instance of this kind in Oklahoma
a short time ago when the life of
Mr.. Cosden was insured for a million
dollars, made payable to the Cosden
Refining Corporation.

EDISON TAKES HIS VACATION.

Edison, with II. S. Firestone, the
rubber man, and John Burroughs, the
naturalist and writer, rs now on his
vacation in the Adirondacks. They
are roughing it in the wids.
The party does not plan to spend
the entire vacation in one spot There
are several places Mr.. Edison has in
mind that are not known to the ordi-
nary mountain tourist and they plan
to move from one to another.
"Tm glad these places are not
known or popular" said Mr.. Edison,
because they would soon lose their
charm. Solitude and seclusion is what
we want and when auto parties begin
to flock through many parts they lose
their greatest beauty

verge of starvation because of the impoverishment
of his noble family in Europe, Count Franz LaZar-

America, went to n jungle Managua, Nicara-
qua and kept himself alive for five months by eat
ing monkey flesh and roots and berries, according
TO reports to marine corps headquarters there.
A party of United States marines while n
big game hunting expedition discovered the titled
foreigner and took him back to the Nicaraguan
capital
The count half starved and nearly mad be-
of the privation he had suffered, fought his
rescuers and begged them to let him remain in the
Jungle the reports say. The marines overpowered
him, however. and are now attempting to nurse him
back to health and reason at their commodious bar
racks in the American legation.
