try slowly 20 drift, into a disastrous in
tcrnauonal war
The country is not prepared to
equip 100000 men for actual service,
not prepared 70 send feet TO sea 10
destroy an invading host, not prepar-
ed to man the coast defcnses, not pre-
pared to construct battleships, sub
marines, aeroplanes, anti-air-craft
guns, not prepared to supply ammu-
milton or to mobolize large armies. II
will not be prepared for any of these
things unless our congressman are
ready TO subordinate personal politics
to national necessities. II we wait un-
I'll the country is prepared for all
these things before we call for the
man we shall never get the men.
We sincerely hope that the 100000
men TO be called for military and
naval service would never have TO
fight a single battle but they would
give this country neucleus of train
ed men who could act in case of neces-
si,y. We believe such a force would
be the strongest guaranty Of peace
and honor the nation could have. The
hazard Of unpreparedness must be evil
dent TO all. To leave the country ex
posed to it would be a crime as black
as the treason of Benedict Arnold.
This country must act or fail, There
fore we appeal TO every member OF
Congress without regard to political
TO act for the safety and
honor Of his country. Give us pre-
paredness in men, in equipment and
in training that will ward off murder,
insult, destruction and give us power,
honor and protection.-St. Johnsbury

Debating the Shields water power
bin in the senate, Mr.. Newlands Of
Nevada, tried-and succeeded Ia
demonstrate that the Democratic ma
jority in Congress has pcrsistently
legislatcd in defiance Of the platform
pledges Of It's party. This is not in
the nature Of news, nor was il really
illuminating 70 the debate, But il IS
refreshing to have an ardent Democrat
stand up in either branch Of Congress
10 admit il. The Nevada statesman
was not content with showing that his
party had violated the pledges of its
platform Of four years ago, but he
quoted from earlier Democratic plat
forms TO show that violation of cam
paign pledges is Democratic habit.
Fortunately, the country has no inten-
ton Of givig the Democrats further
opportunity TO display their tendency
in this direction.

Having dilly-dallied and delayed
consideration of legislation in every
possible way, the Democrats in the
Senate now plan to introduce cloture
rule to stihe debate, and Senator Gore
is to introduce such rule. This is
for the purpose of relieving conges-
ton which has been caused by their
own delays. The rule will prevent
such careful consideration of bills as
might otherwise have been possible,
and there has been no disposition on
the part of Republicans to block legis-
lation. This is a Democratic method
Of going about the country's business
used chiefly on the House side-pro-
crastinate, then cut off debate-but
which appears to have found its way
into the Senate. They threatened clo-
ture at the beginning of the session,
the plan was killed in their caucus,
and again makes its appearance. Sea
sickness is the result of following
Democratic changes of mind.

TOO MANY COMMISSIONS

a federal commission that must ap-
prove or condemn every motion pic
ture film in advance of its exhibition.
AS an exchange well says: $50 far as
this request indicates wish to keep
our countless picture screens clean and
wholesome, it deserves praise; but in
trying to lodge the safeguards in a
formal censorship, this effort, however
well meant, is surprisingly ill-advis-
ed" 1t also argued that such con-
troll would be misplaced and the above
quoted paper goes on to say: "Such a
commission with all its regulations and
machinery would needlessly embarrass
the production of films, whether for
photoplay or for news illustration.
Even an ineffective maintenance
would take much money, either from
the taxpayer or the picture-maker;
and unless backed with corps after
corps of inspectors and detectives, the
commission could not accomplish its
purpose. The censorship would not
only be costly and irritating in prac-
tice, il would be essentially wrong in
principle. A board Of federal officers,
permitting or forbidding films, would
bring to Americans for the first time
Just that kind Of misplaced control
that England, after thorough trial,
abolished more than 200 years ago, 1t
would start us at this late day on a
policy that little Denmark had tested
and discarded before the battle OF
Bunker Hill. Every argument for the
censoring Of films would |
have equal weight for the pre-publica-
ton censoring Of operas and plays,
and books" 1t would seem
