PRICE, $1.00 PER YEAR PRESIDENT WILSON FOR PREPAR- EDNESS. It begins to look like your Un- ele Sam is going to ‘‘heel’’ him- self. President Wilson has an- nounced that his message to Con- gress will deal principally with the subject of preparedness and the ways and means of attaining that end. The most of the people are with the President on this question and nearly all of us be- lieve, that some sort of prepara- tion against a possible foe is an act of wisdom. Of course there are degrees of preparedness and just what amount of preparation we should make is a question that should and will be left to those who have made a study of our needs and it is to be hoped that the garment will be cut to meet the demands, rather than ‘‘according to the eloth’’ which should be provided in ample quantity to cover . the nakedness of our unpreparedness, Any sort of plan, will of course meet with bitter. opposition » of several different’ varieties of **peace’’ advoeates and it is to be expected that the few who hon- estly believe that any sort of arm- ament is not good for the nation will bitterly denounce as militar- ism the plan adopted. Aligned with these will be a large foreign element which our ‘‘melting pot’’ has utterly failed to fuse into true citizenship; and a motley erowd of chautauqua lecfurers and politicians of the peanut type who will attempt to make it an issue; many so-called reformers and a great many other kinds of publicity seckers. While the opposition may suc- ceed in reducing plans for pre- paredness to a point below our full needs, some sort of plan will without doubt be adopted and earried out. The American peo- ple, who have before them the ex- ample of England, France and Russia ; and the terrible price they have paid for their unprepared- ness, are demanding that the na- tion be placed at least upon a foot- ing of self defense. We are today the richest nation in the world and it is only natur- al that in our present condition of comparative military and na- val helplessness, we should be a morsel to tempt a lustful power and while in the past our geo- graphical position has been our safeguard, modern methods of transportation and late naval in- ventions have made it possible for our seaboards to be struck practically without warning. ‘True, we have our treaties but Germany having given us a very thorough demonstration of the actual value of treaties most of us have lost more/or less faith in their efficiency as any sort of a safeguard. Whatever plan the President may ultimately urge for prepared- mess we may be sure will be con- servative and the people, realizing the necessity are. in hearty accord with him, 5 — - eee HUMANITARIANS AND — Because a broad minded sur- geon in Chicago, acting with the knowledge and consent of the mts, and upon the advice of other reputable surgeons, refused ire department with horse drawn equipment.
