WILSON AND PREPAREDNESS.

The President has done wisely in
going frankly before the people with
the question of preparedness. In a
movement of this magnitude the
people are entitled to be consulted;
and they are patriotic enough to do
the right thing when it is made
clear to them, even though it touches
them at a sensitive point, the pocket
book.
In his message to the people the
President is clear, frank and con-
vincing. His appeal should go home
to every voter regardless of party.
The peril of the Nation is too serious
a thing for the manipulation of fac
tional politics.
We have no time to waste listen
ing to platitudes that do not meet the
conditions that actually confront us.
AS the President says, when the
world is on fire, the sparks fall every
where"
War, as an exact science, has adj
vanced by leaps and bounds within
a decade. It's successful prosecution
requires the technical skill of trained
experts from the corps commander. to
the private in the ranks; for the
modern army is failure if even the
private soldier is not an expert. A
year is a short time,-under the best
of conditions, in which to train a
soldier. Nations have been con-
quered in less time.
None but the demagogue will seek
to confuse a conservative prepared
ness with militarism. We are ma
tion of peace, but peace with honor
and we are too big to live entirely to
ourselves. Our course along the path
way of nations is beset with many
dangers, and more than once of late
we have barely escaped serious for
eign complications. Let us heed the
warning.

JOHNSON CITY'S OFFERINGS.

The present year should bring to
Johnson City a greater measure OF
progress and prosperity than any of
those that have preceded it. Located
as it is, in a country of vast and va
ried resources and advantages, the
wealth of which is but now begin
ming to attract the attention of the
outside world, with railroad facili-
ties that give it easy access to the
great centers of commerce and pop
ulation in all parts of the country, it
presents an ideal spot for the manu-
facture of many articles of general
use the raw materials for which can
be economically assembled here. Fuel
is much cheaper here than in great
majority. of places, living conditions
are better, labor is intelligent and
easily dealt with, and, indeed. every
requisite for the profitable manufac-
ture of large variety of articles is
to be found. The city itself is one of
the most attractive and inviting in
the country. With miles of well
paved streets, unequalled water, good
sewerage, mild and delightful eli
mate, excellent schools, and an edu-
Gated, refined and hospitable citizen
ship, Johnson City presents attrac-
tions and inducements equalled by
few places, surpassed by none. If the
ground-swell of prosperity now being
felt throughout the entire country
fails to reach this city. it will surely
be because its people are too much
engrossed in their own personal af-
fairs to give time and attention to the
affairs of the community, and bring
the advantages of their city to the
notice of those who are on the look
out for eligible locations for CONNER
cial and manufacturing institutions.
