"SAFETY FIRST"
One and Only Policy To Pursue Is
Preparedness.
Editor State Journal:

Editor State Journal:
Our experience of past wars, espe-
cially the one great war which has
just ended, should teach US that the
parednesS. The eSta bliShment and
maintenance of an army and navy of
sufficient size and strength in order
to adequately and quickly meet a re-
currence of another war and to Quell
any violent outbreak of anarchism,
1. w. W.-ism, kaiserism, bolshevism,
socialism, all of which are synony-
nous, and one or the other continually
cropping up within our own bo-ders,
is urgent. The lessons we have learned
at the high cost of human life paid on
the altar of sacrifice for vouchsa fling
democracy for the world should
prompt US with a keen sense of duty
to have our war equipment at all
times capable of coping with any stu
alton that may arise.
Preparedness, which fas so consci-
entiously and faithfully been preached
by the late EXPIRES. Theodore Roose-
welt, who was far-seeing man on this
subject, is no less important now than
it has ever been, and should be the
keynote of every loyal American citi-
zen. And by keeping in mind Presi-
dent Wilson's statement made several
years ago that the American army
and navy are the instruments of civili
cation, and not of aggression, there
should be no fear of militarism in this
country. Owing to manifesto tons of
violence of various elements turnout
the world today there is far more &C.
casion for fear of another world war.
Therefore, if the world is to be kept
safe for democracy, and the peace
soon to be declared, lasting peace
secured by the league of nations. then
every member of the league" should
see well to its military efficiency.
