JUST WHAT IS NEEDED?

Were the public asked IL 1t wish
! ed for more or less of sea and land
armament and forces than might be
sufficient for defense, who could tell
the people absolutely and con-
vincingly just what that would re-
quire in each eciass of naval
architecture. in aviation, in land
forces and Notifications?
There Is no doubt that the great
majority would declare for no more
than would be required for defense,
but how are they to know where the
limit should be fixed? The country
is under obligations to defend the
Philippines, Hawaii and the Canal
as well as It's own coasts.
The President has been asked to
call an international conference
seeking to limit war vessels under
10000 tons, aircraft and submarines.
Does anyone know among those
seeking such a conference whether
the attitude Of France has changed
since the Washington conference
with regard to submarines and air
craft? Perhaps it is thought IL the

attitude will have changed, that if
it hasn't she may be put in q
situation where she will conclude
acquiescence in reduction of sub
marine and flying machines the
better policy.
1t would be well for us to know
our own Condition before sitting
down with the other nations to
regulate the like affairs of the world.

ing what might be needed for ag-
gression, as that is not a policy
which has approval from any con-
siderable number of the American
people.
1t Is proposed that the committee
on naval affairs be empowered by
Congress to inquire into the state
of the navy. Some may think it
would be unwise to make public all
the findings. That would not seem
to be necessary although it is prob
able the naval authorities of Japan
and England already know the
salient facts respecting our navy.
This much is certain, that Congress
being the body which determines
the amount Of money to be expended
should first know what 1t is about.
Judging from some OF the perform
ances of that distinguished body it
would not necessarily act in the
light Of the information 1t might
obtain; nevertheless 1t is its duty to
set informed.

When Mr.. Blaine went to Europe
for the first time, he landed at
Queenstown. He had hardly got on
the dock, when wild eyed Irisnnlan
rushed up to him and whispered In
his ear:
"Mr. Blaine. we have $4,000 men
all drilled and armed and ready to
rise and make Ireland free?"
WELL" said Mr.. Blaine, why
don't you do. it,"
Faith, the police won't let u.s."
We wonder if Maine people will
wait as long to develop her water
power as Ireland waited for her
Freedom.
Some years ago, an Augusta cloth
Ter made an assignment for the bene-
fit of his creditors. On his inventory
were a great many high priced SILK
and satin neckties packed in boxes
On examination, it was found that
every single necktie had been folded
so long in the boxes that the fabric
was cracked in all the folds ana
every one of them was worthless.
We wonder If Maine people Will
wait too long to develop and sell her
water power when it can be sold.

Well, the next day after Uncle
Lucky and Little Jack Rabbit had
seen the alligator and heard the
good news at the Old Farmyard, as
you read in the last story, they set
cut once more in the Luckymobile.
BY and by, after a while, they came
to little town where there was a
circus. 1t was not very big
circus, you know. The tent was
small and there were only one
elephant and lion, and maybe a
bear or two. and three monkeys.
But, just the same, every little boy
and girl wanted to go to the show.
AS soon as the little rabbits reach
ed the big tent, they put the Lucky
mobile behind one of the big red
circus wagons and hoped over to
the ticket man to buy their tickets.
But, oh. dear me. There wasn't q
single seat to be had. Wasn't that
too bad?
What shall we do?' asked Uncle
Lucky.

lot of toy balloons. So the old

Commenting upon the fact that
Portland is now without the services
of a municipal organist and the
summer season with its daily con-
certs is close at hand, The Portland
Evening Express in an editorial
makes the following suggestion:
The present visit of former NUM-
cipal Organist Will c. Macfarlane
has caused a great many people 10
ask why do we not get him back!
No man was ever mora popular as
municipal organist, and 1t was un-
doubtedly due to Macfarlane's won
derful personality and great aplllty
as musician that the Portland
Municipal Organ achieved its world
wide reputation. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Macfarlane is in a position
to come to Portland If the proper
inducements are offered ana SUI
ficient interest is manifested.
We recommend to the Music
Commission that it give considera-
ton to this idea, for 1t may prove
the salvation of municipal music In
the City which now seems TO be In
somewhat precarious condition.
