The Origin Of preparedness,


Editor kennebec journal:
Some etU years b. c. the command went
forth from the Prophet Joel, "Proclaim We
TINS among the people. prepare war
wake up the mighty men, let all the men
OF war draw near, let them come up,
Beat your plowshares into swords and
your pruning hooks into spears. Let the
weak say | am strong" Joel 1910. 1t
takes an iron age" to fulfill this proph-
ecy This command is specially to Israel
the white race) of this age.
THE SOURCE OF THIS WAR SPIRIT
Woe to the inkabiters OF the Earth
for the Devil has come down among you
having great wrath knowing his time is
short
THE Lord shall come out of his place
to punish the inhabitants of the earth
for their iniquity." when he cometh TO
shake terribly the GARTH
What hope is tnere for tie race after
we expect? And He (ChrisD shall judge
among many people, and rebuke strong
nations afar off. They shall beat their
swords into plowshares and their spears
into pruning hooks. Nations shall not
lift up sword against nation. Neither
shall they learn war any more; but they
shall sit every man under his vine and
under his fig tree, and none shall make
them afraid. For the mouth of the Lord
Of Hosts hath spoken it. Micah 4-3:4.

A Northwest Rumor.

From the West and Northwest comes
the interesting rumor that large num-
bers of Democrats refuse to follow Mr..
Wilson's sudden change from pacifism
to militarism and that they are plan
ming to join with the few Republicans
who favor peace at any price in an
Independent political movement which
will nominate Bryan and Ford as a
Presidential ticket.
The originators Of the plan admit
that the larger portion of whatever
support the ticket may secure will
come from the Bryan element of the
Democratic party. but they are hopeful
that enough Republicans will join them
to enable the Bryan Ford ticket to car
ry several states in that part Of the
country. The territory in which this
movement is springing up is naturally
Republican and, with the reunion of
Republican strength which has taken
place. has been counted sure for the
Y II.
a Bryan-Ford party should gain any
considerable number of electoral votes,
either there or elsewhere, it might re-
suit that no candidate would gain a
majority OF the electoral college and
that the choice of a President would
again be thrown into the House Of
Representatives-the first time that
such thing has happened, it is recall
ed, since the election of John Quincy
Adams.
In such an event each state would
cast che vote--to be edctermined bv
the majority vote of its representation
in the lower branch of Congress- This
would produce q Republican Presi-
dent
Twenty-four states have a Republi-
can majority in their congressional del
egations. They are Connecticut. Della
ware. Idaho. Illinois, Iowa, Maine.
Massachusetts. Michigan, Minnesota.
Nevada, New Jersey, New York. New
Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dako
ia. OHIO. Oregon. Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island. South Dakota. Vermont, Wash
inSton, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Twenty states are Democratic in
their congressional delegations. They
are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas. Colo
RADIO, Florida, Georgia, Indiana. Kan
sas. Kentucky, Louisiana, MARYLAND
mississippi. Missouri, Montana, North
Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina.
tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
Three states are tied They are Ne.
braska. Utah and West Virginia. And
one state. California, has a delegation
IN Congress comprising three RepubIi-
cans three Democrats, two Progress
sives' one ogressive-Republican one
independent and one Prohibitionist.
consequently, the report of a Rrvan
and Ford movement arouses only an
academic interest among Republicans
while the Democrats are a,re.a,.
SO despoSdent over their prosnects ~
the next election that nothing can odd
to their gloom.

Here Are the Facts; You Are the Judge

lust as President Wilson was telling
Kansas and Missouri audiences that
our Navy 'ought, in my Judgment, to
he incomparably the greatest navy in
the world" Rear-Admiral Strauss was
being forced, by persistent questions
from Republican members of the Ma
val Committee, to admit that Secre-
tary Daniels had reduced by $4,000, 900

Strauss, as Chief of Ordnance, would
have submitted to Congress. The esti-

out entirely.
The insincerity and incongruity Of an
administration whose head, talking for
publication and to crowds of citizens,
the biggest in the world, while behind
the closed doors of the Navy Depart
ment his secretary of the navy is
slaughtering the estimates of compe-
tent naval officers with a view to de-
ceiving Congress as to the navy's needs
are likely to constitute the chief obsta-
Gle to preparedness, as they most
gravely reflect on the administration.
And just when Admiral Strauss was
reluctantly admitting what Secretary
Daniels had done. the British collier,
Franz Fisher. was going to its doom,
sunk by a bomb dropped from a Ger
man Zeppelin.
