American motorists owe 100000 miles of
automobile roads in this country - the
ONLY national system of road marking,
public or private in America.
A remarkable service to the motoring
public, yet ONLY a fraction of what The
B. F. Goodrich Company is doing for auto
mobile touring.
The American Motoring Tour is the
child of The B. F. Goodrich Co.
Hence it is no new venture that The B. F.
Goodrich Company should be the driUing
force back of National Touring Week.
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1916-08-03

Has actually reached 100000 motor car
owners personally with its service.
The B. F. Goodrich Company not only is
Willing to serve, but knows how to deliver
a TOURING SERVICE that has no equal
for accuracy and completeness.
All this service is free to any motorist
Uhether or not he uses Goodrich Tires.

MlLITARI INSANITY A SYMPTOM
OF DEMOCRATIC DEGENERAcY

A wave of military insanity seems
to have struck Washington, p. G..
Neither the Gear nor the Kaiser ever
had the preparedness disease as viru-
lently as our leading American mill
tarists under the Woodrow Wilson ad-
ministration. The spirit of Prussian
militarism reigns supreme under Car
rison and Daniels. Under the date of
December "a, 1915, report of the
Navy General Board was given out
by Secretary Daniels, in which strate-
gists and experts recommended not
less than $500, 1000, 900 expenditures for
the navy in 1917 in order that the
United States might have the biggest
fleet in the world by 1925. 1.-THE navy
of the United States should ultimate
ly be equal to the most powerful
maintained by any other nation of the
world" says the Naval General Board,
but the limit above defined should be
attained not later than 1925"
A Washington press dispatch of
January 8, 1916, informs us that the
United States must be prepared to
resist the combined force OF two pow
ers," so military experts say. 1t is
again GnlS FFuSS1duIAous NAVY 1eACA al
BOARD which insists that within ten
wears tho United States should have
completed its %preparations for re-
adjustment of woRld forces after the
European war" For the army the
War College recommends:
d. Expenditure in 1851 of apnro-
ximate1y 100000, 900 to produce mo-
bile army under federal control which
with its reserves would total 100000
in six years: 100000 fully trained
regulars and the remainder continent

Some genuine democrats of demo-
Gratis of various political parties, are
preplexed by the outcries regarding
preparedness. They rea4ize tlat
neither political nor economic condi-
tons in tn country, are what they
ought to be. They know that social
conditions maintained by our laws.
inflict on most of the people, terrible
and cruel injustice. They know that
it is neither just nor reasonable to
compel people, SO oppressed, to either
contribute of their earnings, or to
risk thir lives in defense of such in
situations. And they further know how
dangerous to free institutions a big
army and navy policy must be. Yet
in spite of all, they feel it their duty
to support the preparationist de-
mand. They say in effect, Eyes, there
is much outrageous injustice in this
'ountry, but should We be, overpower-
ed by a foreign enemy, we would lose
what liberty we have"
So to avoid risk of loss through
foreign conquest of what liberty we
have they would subject it to the
greater risk of loss, through creation
and maintenance of big military es-
adjustment.
Tt would be well for these prepar-
ationjst democrats to consider the
warnings supported by unanswerable
logic in book that may appeal to
them with greater force than to their
less Thoughtful, reactionary comrades.

But now the news comes that this

gard of this experience, is about to
sell a million and half acres Of
school lands. Once again private in

to grow rich by appropriating values

Preparedness and Democracy

George showed til ereal impending
danger to Liberty, and how to avoid
it. He said:
TN our lime, as in times before,
creep ON the insidious forces that,
producing inequality, destroy Liberty.
On the horizon the clouds begin to
lower. Liberty calls to us again. We
must follow her further, we must trust
her fully. Either we must wholly ac-
cept her or she will not stay. 1t is
not enough that men should vote. 1t
is not enough that they should be
theoretically equal before the law.
They must have liberty to avail them
selves Of the opportunities and means
lne they must stand on equal
terms with reference to the bounty of
nature"
We have not wholly accepted her.
Because we have not made this coun-
try what 1t might have been-a hope
and refuge to the people of the
world. Because we have rejected this
opportunity, there is widespread feel
ing of insecurity and danger, and to
avoid this we are urged to incur all
the risk and oppressive evils of mill
tafism. That is bad advice. The
proper course was alos pointed out by
Henry George.
eff, while there is yet time. We turn
to Justice, and obey her, if we trust
Liberty and follow her. the dangers
that now threaten must disappear, the
forces that now menace will turn to
