Army-Navy Built.

During This administration We have
done more to build up an army and
navy in three years than the Repubii-
can party did in forty years of its
existence. More has been done TO
give the American people navy and
army in three months than Col. Roose-
Welt and Mr.. Taft did in eleven years.
Senator James spoke of the Republi-
can platform declaration for "a con
tinuOus policy OF national defense" de-
claring that only Two propositions for
continuous policy ever had been
made in American history. one. by the
general board of the navy in 1903.
which was pigeon-holed by Il Repnbl-
can secretary OF the navy. and the
other by President Wilson in his ad-
dress to Congress last December.
But what happened when this mat
ter was under consideration in the
naval affairs committee of the house p
continued the Senator. Every Repub,
lican member of the committee de-
cided to oppose the Presidents con
tinuous program and would vote for
no program longer than one year. AT
ter sixteen years Of failure, even to
let the public know of the continuous
policy proposed by naval experts,
much less 10 carry out such a policy,
and after the Republicans on The
HOnse Naval Affairs committee, in
June. 1916, unanimously opposed the
Presidents policy, they now say they

The Senator also replied to repub-
lican criticism of the administration s

NOBODY But WILSON!

1t is not u%ngracious TO say in this
lou of Democratic victory that the
Democracy at present is in a sense
a one-man party. What Democrat in
life not too old for active public SER
vice, is capable of taking up the in
l%eritance of Woodrow wilson: To
lis intellectual succession, to his
sympathetic comprehension of the
ceilings, the opinions, and the inter
3sts of the average man, to his
knowledge and experience of public
l%ffairs, to his gift Of graceful and
convincing speech, no heir is to be
expected. Such a condition Of men,
al strength, of political insight and
1eXterity, is rare. On the other
land, Mr.. Wilson has defects from
which his successor in the Democrat
&c c~hieftaincy may b efree. His readi-
less of speech, his gift of style some
lines lure him into impulsive utter
lrces that car be construed by hos
lie interpreters into an unfortunate
meaning. A talent for epigram in a
politician has it dangers as well as
its advantages. Mr.. Wilson's essen
tial solitariness, the curious eremite
disposition in him which he evident
ly deplores, has been an obstacle in
lis path. He has won wide, indu-
bitable popularity in spite of it. His
purposes and achievements have
ouched the popular heart. 1t may
be said that in gregariousness, in the
itrong support of multitudes, he has
,ound a remedy for a certain consti-
utional loneliness. Or perhaps it
would be more correct to infer that
the student and thinker in him, in
the innumerable contacts of public
life, have gradually become %unclois-
tered, that his nature has expanded
in the gratitude of the people. the
response to his efforts in their be-
half, tn late perception that millions
acknowledge his high intentions and
fruitful merits. despite errors of
Judgment and policy. At any rate,
ne hermit in him promoted misun-
derstanding of the real Woodrow vii
son. His original aloofness was. a
iefect, from which his successor is
lot likely to suffer.
Now, nobody is looking for the inn
possible, or searching the land for
another Jackson, Cleveland or Will
son. Both arties are poor in great
figures. No young Mr.. Root is visi-
BILE. None but himself can be Mr..
Roosevelt's parallel. For the mo-
ment the sturdy. bellicosc, and COM
handing Hiram Johnson, coming out
of the West, the present seat of po-
litical power, might inspire a too
early prophecy. but where is the man
fit to wear Mr.. Wilson's manteI? The
question is not idle or premature.

IT WAS 4 FAILURE

The attamtp Of tic Republican
leaders to make the tariff a promi-
nent and effective campaign issue
came TO nothing. There is no evil
dence in the result Of the election
that their arguments and assertions
had weight against the absolute
proof thai what they we're saying
bout the effect of the Underwood
tariff law during the ten months i'm
mediately preceding the war was UNI
true. and the sound Judgment of
thinking men that their predictions OF
a devastating flood of imported ELL
ropean goods Immediately after the
war were absurd. This resort to the
tariff for help was especially notice
| able in the closing weeks of the cam
paign, although the same arguments
had been used from the beginning.
They may be found in Mr.. Hughes
letter of acceptance, in the remarks
of Mr.. Fairbanks about immense
quantities of Commodities manufacture

terances.
Those who read the assertion that
in the first ten months of the Under

imported manufactured goods closed
factories here and deprived workmen
of employment could ascertain from
tn eofficial reports that imports OF
such goods were actually less in
those ten months than in the CORE.

year, under the Republican tariff law
Thus a part of the argument was
wrecked. Mr.. Hughes predicted that

of soldiers would leap from the
trenches to the factories, there tC

which would be dumped" in III

out by a new high protective tariff.
Many others on his side protested
to foresee this impending flood"
But intelligent and thoughtful vot-
ers, knowing what the effect of the
wal has been, found this forecast an
absurd one. And they were confirm
ed III their opinion by much current
testimony. There has been plenty of
evidence that the stores" of goods

ent nations must import great guam
tiles of raw material-much of il

the second part of the tariff argu
ment was demolished.
Those who expected no flood of i'm.
ports after the war could see that
there would be safeguards, if one
should appear, in the powers of the
new Tariff Commission and the Fed
eral Trade Commission, and in the
provisions of the new law to preven'
dumping" The tariff movement or
the Republican side in the campaign
was a pitiable failure. 1t was char.
