ROOSEVELT AND PREPAREDNESS.

Colonel Roosevelt has been endeavoring to make tho M
of this country believe that long he president
this nation in position defend itself against corners
That the facts and the records do not bear this out b
the slightest effect upon the colonel who expects
prove his assertions when called upon to do
His custom is to rely upon the ignorance of the American
people certain facts involved get away with any sa
ments which he may make
In view Of this fact the Miner desires to call to the atten
ton of it's readers the following excellent editorial published
in last Tuesdays New York World:
1t during the Roosevelt administration that GERMANY
obtained her lead in power the United Statessea
measured dreadnOughts which the standard
units of modern fleet.
the end 1908 Germany had laid down eight to to
United States four and this ratio has been maintained ever
since The last year of Mr. Rooseves term Germany passed
the United States in the amount of built and building
and we have never recovered the place we lost.
Mr. Roosevelt wishes to fix the direct responsibility for
the relative decline of American power he blame him
self and the republican party More money has been spent on
the navy since Mr. Wilson became president than any cor
responding period of the national history.
For ourselves not disposed to blame Mr. Roosevelt

silly and malicious his attacks Wilson and the democra
tic party.
The truth of the that the country was we'll con-
tent to lag behind and not compete with Great Britain and
Germany their struggle for naval supremacy The American
people did not believe that this possible and they re-
fused to prepare against the impossible Even now half

which demands immediate remedy People like Mr. Roosevelt
much concerned about abusing President Wilson
than about obtaining reasonable measure of national defense
and this spirit dangerous to preparedness program
than is the opposition of confirmed pacfsts like Mr. Bryan
1t seems to this newspaper that it would be very difficult
for anyone to improve the foregoing statement
