WHY A DEMOCRACY ARMS.

In his remarks on the subject OF
national defense, Speaker Clark con-
fined himself to an Interpretation or
the feelings of the people. While
two noisy elements, the lingo and the
peace parties, will disagree with him,
there can be no doubt that he uttered
the exact truth when he said that an
overwhelming majority of the people
are opposed to CONSUMPTION, opposed
to a great standing army and opposed
to aggressive war, but heartily in
favor of reasonable preparedness.
Nv reasonable preparedness he
meant a powerful and efficient navy,
modern coast defenseS and a regular
military establishment to be support
ed in time of need by volunteers.
Thus devoted to peace and adequate
lv armed to meet sudden ana unpio-
yoked attack, the country, IN his opln-
ion, desiring to be neither Germany
nor a China, would cheerfully pay
whatever sums might be necessary
to safeguard itself against INVASION
it's main reliance on land at all times
being the volunteer System.
At time when so many people are
posing as militar. experts, most OF
whom never set a squadron IN the
field. it is we'll to have at least one
voice raised in behalf of sane ana
self-relianl democracy. Such prepa-
ration as is now under way is not due
to mi1itarism, commercialism or pan
ic. IT takes account Of changed con-
ditions in the world. Proof OF IT'S
wisdom is found in the fact so plainly
set forth by Mr.. Clark that its very
moderation is in harmony with the
views of The great mass OF the people.
We are not strengthening our de-
lenses because Europe is at war, pc
cause we expect to be drawn into the
war or because we have any ampl-
tiOus designs elsewhere. The mad
dened nations Ct the Old World nave
served notice upon us that they are
not to be bound by laws, treaties or
human rights. Few Americans eS-
meet attack from that quarter, but
practically all Americans, taking into
account what has happened, are re-
solved to insure themselves against
the possibility of it by putting their
house in order.
The arming of the United States is
our response to the lnVlnclole saNas-
cry of the war lords and is the eA-
preston of our lack OF faith IN the
ability of the people whom they OPP
press and slaughter to shape their
own destinies. Democracy in Amer
lea controls and limits its military
Democracy in Europe

The St. Joe automobile owner
and all of the country over as we'll
who are making all of that fuss over
the constantly rising price OF gaso-
line. are advised that the raise is not
the result of shortage in crude Oil.
If these kickers will secure copy OF
the last statement OF the Standard
Oil Co. of Indiana, the branch OF the
Standard that covers Missouri they
would find something. The Wall st.
Journal found it and reports as 1ol-
lows:
Standard Oil Co. of Indiana report
indicates earnings for the year -
in excess of so per cent on the SoV'-
100000 capital stock, comparing
with approximately % per cent IN

cent in 1913. After payment or 3d.

Following publication of its annual
report, Standard Oil Of Indiana stock
advanced on the curb rs points 10
high sales Of 52S.
From Chicago the Journal secures
a report OF the annual meeting OF
the company at which officers Tor the
wear were elected, one item OF the
report being:
STANDARD Oil Co. of Indiana has is
sued a balance sheet as OF December
81, 1915: Surplus account totals
S2G,793,042, an increase OF Sl2,39S,-
376 against previous year. Inls
amount largely represents earnings
in addition to plant construction
and merchandise made necessary
due to growth Of business and in pur-
chase of crude Oil.
In this connection it is we'll to re-
member that the standard OF Indiana
has kept the price of gasoline much
below the price charged by the other
branches of the Standard company,
for the purpase, Mr.. WEIGH, the at
torney of the independent companies
says, Of forcing the Independents
cat Of the western field.
If the Standard of Indiana, hold
ing prices Gown, can earn 80 per
cent on a capitalization of S3o,O0o,-
600, there is manifeStly something
more than the cost OF crude OIL IN
the price the user of gasoline is ASK
ed to pay
And that suggests the query, why,
when we are stralning every nerve
to hold the street railway company
to 6 per cent or less, and engaging
in bitter controversy over the net re-
turns of the steam railroads., we
should be complacent about 80 per
cent on gasoline, when gasoline has
already nearly if not quite as impor-
tant a public service as steam or cleo
tricity.-St. Joe Observer.

THE PRICE OF BEEF.

Prime steers brought S10.03 pei

greater than ever before, and the
supply is dwindling-barely two

From a document issued by the
Philadelphia Wool and Textile Asso-
citation on the decline in the wool in
dustry we learn that sheep raising
has always advanced in this country
when large areas Of cheap grazing
land became valuable, but that 1t
declines again when the land settles
up and increases in value. the rea-
son why the small farmer does not
raise sheep on great areas of good
sheep land in this country, we are
informed, is the familiar one-dogs.
Our reason for setting forth the sub
stance of this outgiving is not that 1T
contains anything new, but only be-
cause it comes from Pennsylvania,
relates to wool and does not blame
anything to democratic tariffs. This
is a record which we think should be

TAKING MIR. CUMNlINS SERIOUS

Senator Kenyon of Iowa cannot
understand why the east does not
take more seriously the presidential
candidacy of his colleague, Mr.. Cum
Minis. Did not that gladiator drive
Elihu Root out Of the running in
Minnesota? Did he not wipe up the
earth with Henry d. Estabrook OF
New York at the republican primary
in that state! Is he not going to
have a solid delegation from Iowa?
Past and prospective, these are mo-
mentus events, and all of them have
been solemnly received and digested.
Furthermore, it has been noted in
these parts that Mr.. Cummns has
prodigious strength as get-together
republican candidate, for the reason
that in 1912, while still Loyalty adj
and voted for Col Roosevelt No
other republican to our knowledge
has accomplished such a feat as that.
Why shouldn't he be taken serious
ly?
AS further evidence Of the gravity
with which the east regards Mr.
Cummins' performances, we might
mention the pain that he gave a great
many excellent Americans the other
day when, the Gore resolution be-
ing under consideration, he voted for
the Kaiser and against the president.
If the gentleman from Iowa ever
appears on this side OF the Alleghan-
les as candidate for the presidency,
he is likely to find conditions serious
enough to meet Mr.. KenyOn's fondest
hopes.-New York World.

PITY FOR A TRUST IN TROUBLE

Few more pathetic scenes have ever
been witnessed in the United States
senate than the one which yesterday
centered about Mr. Tillman's bill for
government armor plate mill. The
bill had previously stirred up no
great amount of feeling among the
cold guard element on the republ1-
can side. But when these senators
had read the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany's annual report in the morning
papers the situation changed.
That company claims an invest
ment of $7,OOO.000 in its armor
plate plant, which, it is asserted, will
become valueless if the government
enters the business. Accordingly,
the Tillman-Daniels proposition came
under torrent Of denunciation as
"unfair,' ''wanton,' 'vengeful,' CON
fiscatory." and pity for the Bethle-
hem company in this hour OF its
persecution, like new born babe
striding the blast coursed about
the senate with great effect.
The Bethlehem company needs 1t.
Its stockholders need it. The report
shows net profits for 1915 OF hardly
112 per cent on the common stock,
with dividends now paying at the
rate of only 20 per cent. Stockholm
ers during the year had to endure a
rise in the market price of these
shares from around SAG to $500,
now off to $500. If the company
had charged to depreciation the
whole armor plate cost, there would
have been left for the common
shareholders profit on the year OF
hardly 70 per cent. The grief OF
Senators Penrose. Oliver, Lodge and
otners is ustified.-New York
World
