PRESIDENT WARNS
PEOPLE OF DANGER
DECLARES COUNTRY MUST BE
PREPARED TO DEFEND ITSELF
AND BE PREPARED AT ONCE.
In Forceful Plea at Cleveland, Pres
ident Wilson Says No Man Knows
What Single Day May Bring
Forth to the Country.

Cleveland, O.-President Wilson,
speaking AS he said "solemnly,"
warned the nation Saturday night
that the time may come when he can
not BOTH keep the United States out
Of war and maintain its honor, and
declared that the country must be
prepared to defend itself and be pre-
pared at once
America is not afraid Of anybody"
ing and the feeling of all our citizens
when l say that the only thing l am
afraid Of is not being ready to per-
form my duty. l am afraid OF the
danger of shame. l am afraid of the
danger of inadequacy. l. am afraid Of
the danger of not being able to ex-
press the correct character Of this
country with tremendous might and
effectiveness whenever we are called
upon to act in the field OF the worlds s
affairs
The. president spoke In Cleveland
with more gravity and force than he
has shown during any of his previous
addresses on preparedness.
He was applauded frequently and
when he spoke of defending the ma
tion's honor, the cheering was tre-
mendous.
Again and again the president
spoke of the nations honor. He de-
clared the real man believes his
honor is dearer than his life, and a
nations honor is dearer than Its
peace and comfort. He said it had
been difficult to keep the United
States out of the war and he felt he
had proved he was a man OF peace
when possible.
For the first time during his pres
ent tour the president spoke OF the
navy and the coast defenses. The
latter, he said, are good In quality.
but not In quantity.

NATIONAL DEFENSE
URGED BY WILSON
PRESIDENT DEFENDS MEXICAN
POLICY ANDv ADVOCATES
PREPAREDNESS PROGRAM.
Declares That Men Who Are Oppos-
ing Preparedness Issue Are Pro-
vincial.-Defends the Contl-
mental Army Plan.

New York.-President Wilson on
Thursday night opened his personal
appeal to the country for national de-
tense. He gave warning that plans
Tor the readjustment of the army
must be formulated and carried out
without delay, and solemnly declared
he could not predict that the outlook
for the United States would be as
bright tomorrow as today. Speaking
association and the Motion Picture
Board of Trade, he sounded the key
note OF addresses that he will deliver
in the middle west.
Mr.. Wilson was in fighting mood
throughout his address. In speech
delivered early in the day he declared
he always accepted an invitation to
fight. At night he told the railway
men he was an advocate of peace and
had struggled to keep the United
States at peace, but he considered the
liberty and honor of the nation even
more important than peace.
Woe to any man who plays mar
litical or perconal ambition
take precedence over candor,
honor and unselfish, bipartisan
service" said the president, In
speaking of his defense plan before
the railroad men. He declared that
the country expects action; this is a
year of accounting, and the account
ing must be definite on the part of
the parties and on the part of every
Individual who wishes to enjoy the
public confidence.
For my part, hope every man IL
public life will get what's coming to
him." said Mr.. Wilson, amid laughter
and applause.
The president admitted that in
message to the last congress he had
said the need for preparedness was
not pressing He declared that he
had learned differently in the mean
time. He cited his recent support of
stance of change on his part, but de-
clared there previously was no need
Tor commission.
Mr.. Wilson spoke of men of high
character, who were clouding the pre-
paredness issue. He declared they
were provincial, and that the United
States could no longer cut itself on
from the rest of the world.
The president vigorously discussed
his Mexican policy. He asserted that
TO invade Mexico would mean the los
ing of confidence of the rest of the
western hemisphere. He cited the
freeing of Cuba as an instance of good
done by the United States.
IF we are drawn into the mael-
strom which now surges in Europe"
the president declared, I'VE shall not
be permitted to do the high things
we would prefer"
The president defended the conti-
mental army plan drawn up by Secre-
tary Garrison and said he did ont care
about the details of any plan as long
as 900 trained men were provid-
ed as reserve under the federal gov
ernment. He advocated strengthen
ing the national guard, but said the
constitution itself put the guard under
the state. He added that the United
States will not turn in the direction
Of militarism.

DEMOCRATIC
DEPRESSION HURT
NUMBERING.

Washington, Feb. 2. The de.
plorable effects of Democratic
economic policies upon business
conditions upon the Pacific Coast
is shown by the story brought
to Washington this week by Mr..
Russell Hawkins of Portland.
Oregon, who is extensively en-.
gagged i'll numbering. Mr.. Haw.
kins is the man who supplied the
two hundred and fifty foot flag
pole for the San Francisco Elk.
position, the tallest single-st,ck
f1ag-pole in the world.
"We have numbering plant
in which 100000 is invested
and which, lnder normal condit.
ions. employs 357 men, but which
has not turned wheel since June,
1914" said Mr.. Hawkins. Where
we formerly had 357 busy men
we now have one man with the
grease pot to keep the rust off
our idle machinery. There has
been a slight revival in the last
80 days but we have lost two
years active business. We closed
down before the war broke cut
IN Europe, which shows that de-
preston in the lumber business
was not due to the war but to
the general business depression
which deprived us of a market
for lumber products. Our exper-
ience was similar to that of other
menengaged inlogging and lumb-
ering.
You can readily see what the
closing down ofthis small logging
business means to industry, not
only on the Pacific Coast, but in
other parts of the United States.
Directly. the throwing out of en-
ployment of 357 men means
loss of $22O,0OO a year in wages.
and the loss OF another 100000
a year supplies for our logging
plant; but indirectly 1t means
much more, for when our logging
crews are out of employment, a
much larger number of men are
out OF employment in the saw
mills and in other industries
pending thereon. The 100000
which we would have paid to the
men III our camps, if work could
have continued. would have been
spent by them for clothing, such
ds overalls, boots and shoes
gloves. hats, and other articles
manufactured in the Eastern
States. These men would have
spent the money largely for pro-
visions for the maintenance OF
their families. 20 be perfectly
frank. perhaps it should be re-
marked that some of the money
would be spent for the products
that have made Kentucky and
Milwaukee famous.
"Practically every industry in
the United States suffered as q
RESULT of the depression in the
numbering business. Railroads
lost transportation business, car
penters had little demand for their
services.
Briefly stated, the closing
down of any basic industry vital
ly and disastrously effects almost
every other line of industry"

words, thirty times as much beef has been sent abroad this year as in 1914. In the face of this tremendous expan- sion the price of most cuts of beef have not been increased to the con- sumer.
 Yet it would be worse than idle to jump to the conclusion that so far as the supply of beef is concerned the United States is in good condition. It is exactly in the matter of beef cat tie that the situation is most alarm ing. In the last six years, as revealed by the official figures, the number of beef cattle in the country has de- creased by nearly S,000,000. There are even half a million fewer milch COWS than in 1910.
 With an addition of millions to the consuming population-plus the vast export demand-we have less than five-sixths as many cattle to supply the beef for their consumption.
 How, then, can the big packers, who are not generally accused of altruism, afford to sell their beef at the same
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1916-12-01

they brought in 1914. The Tribune would be glad to have list of them.
 So far as meat is concerned only the wholesale price charged by the big packers is referred to. Generally speaking they have not raised their rates, though there are a few excep- tions Retailers may and in some cases do charge an advance which does not seem justified by the whole sale price. But a canvass of three or four representative retail markets shows that the price the consumer pays for most meat items is not much larger than it was one year ago.
 The meat situation is the more re- markable because since the war be- gan there has been an enormous in- crease in the amount of meat products exported to Europe.
 In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1914, for instance, the value of the fresh beef exported was less than ST. OOO,OOO. This year, for the same period, the exports of fresh beef were more than $2O,OOO,OOO. In other
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1916-12-01

price which prevailed last year?
 One must go back to the great war in Europe to find the explanation. Tn the first place, the packers have a market for an enormously increased amount of meat products to fill their orders from the warning nations of Europe. They can, therefore, afford to pay good prices for all the cattle they are offered.
 In the second place, the war and other influences have sent the price of corn up to more than $1 a bushel. The average farmer who has a crop of corn which he would ordinarily use to fatten cattle and hogs does not feel that he can afford to feed S1 corn and take chances of getting a correspond ing profit out of his live stock next spring.
 The result is that he is sending in almost everything which can stand up on four legs to be sold at the stockyards.
