National Defense

TMslsMy38th Birthday

The Palladium la In receipt of the following communication from one of Its former editors, the Hon. Isaac Jenkinson: "The recent report from the department of war declaring that the country I not adequately protected from Invasion by a foreign power comes as a surprise to our people. We have been led to believe that our country is impregnable, that invasion from a foreign foe is impossible. And now to be told that we are not in condition to repel such attack is, at the least, humiliating. But is it true? Are we not now in the best possible condition for meeting an Invading force, large or small? The two imiortant means required, on our part, are plenty of men and abundant and rapid transportation. These we have far beyond our needs. "More than fifty years ago Col. Thomas H. Benton, the great Missouri senator, discussing this question, said, 'for defense, the United States is the strongest power in the world. Her railroads in a few days would place a million of volunteers, if needed, on any point of land attack; her privateers would clear the seas of enemy's commerce. And these two great means of defense would be as cheap as effective, superseding the old expensive policy of preparing for war in time of peace." "And if a half century ago the patriotism of our people and our extraordinary means of transportation made the United States the strongest power in the world, what must it be now? With a population of more than ninety millions, many of these the bravest and best ighters in the universe, no invading force, no matter how large it may be can ever find foothold on American soil. The combined nations of Europe, with Japan added, could not force a hostile landing on our shores. How absurd then to say we are not prepared to repel invasion, come from what source it may. We may build forts and fortifications and spend millions In the work, but after all the real protection of our country is the patriotism of our people. Isaac Jenkinson."

POLITICS AND POLITICIANS

That the United States should engage in another war seems, today, Improbable. However, until all nations lay aside their arms and settle all differences by arbitration, war must be considered a possibility. That being the case Americans will demand that preparations be made without further loss of time to have sufficient munitions of war secured and placed In central reserve stations to properly clothe and arm our volunteers. The disgrace of the Spanish war should not be repeated. If it Is true that there is not enough reserve ammunition to supply the present coast defense guns for an hour's engagement congress will be grossly negligent unless this defect is remedied. A great army is not necessary, but there should be a large corps of trained officers provided for to command, our voluteers. A law should also be passed providing for modern mobilization of a volunteer army and for the more efficient training of our militia regiments.

SAMPLE OF E

U. S. Senators Cost U. $2,012,374.

(American News Service) Washington, Dec. 20. The annual report of the secretary of state wa3 made public today. It shows that senators cost the United States $2,012.374.52 from July 1, 1909, to June 30, 1910. This money included everything from railroad fare to the price of bottles of perfumery, manicure scissors, lemons, sugar and sofa pillows. The items in the report, printed in fine type, cover more than 700 pages. Any one who has the lurking suspicion that senators don't imbibe water freely should glance at the record of $1,834 spent for apollinaris water. More than $3,000 was expended for other mineral waters. Thriee gold framed mirrors for senators stand your Uncle Sam $64 each. One day Senator Bourne called up Senator Aldrich over the long distance telephone between Washington and Providence. The cost of this conversation was $2.50. The automobile of Vice President Sherman cost $2,000 to operate. Senators are strong on telegrams. Page after page is devoted to telegraph items. The bust of former President Roosevelt cost $S00.

Oakland, California has appointed the commission plan of government. Patrick J. Boyle has just been elected for his fifteenth term as mayor of Newport. R. I. Florida Democrats will hold a primary next month for the selection of a United States Benator. Chase S. Osborn, recently elected governor of Michigan, is out with a no-second-term declaration. An even hundred cities, distributed through twenty-three . States of the Union, have adopted the commission form of government. Jerome Templeton, of Knoxvil e, who is a candidate for the seat of Senator Frazier, has long been prcminent as a leader of the prohibition movement in Tennessee. James L. Cowles, secretary-treasurer of the Postal Progress league, has announced his candidacy for United States senator from New York to succeed Chauncey M. Depew. According to the official reports, the campaign expenses of the two leading parties in the recent election in New York State aggregated nearly one million dollars. The Northwestern States that will elect United States senators this winter are Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Montana and Washington. A deadlock on the United States senatorship in the Rhode Island legislature is predicted, as the strength of the three leading aspirants is regarded as about even. Maine, Michigan, Missouri. Arkansas, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Montana and Nevada have followed the example of Oregon in adopting the initiative and referendum. The Michigan State Association of Farmers' clubs has resolved to disregard party affiliations and hereafter vote only for candidates who stand for measures in the farmers' platform. Governor Wilson, of New Jers-ey. Governor Harmon of Ohio. Governor Baldwin of Connecticut. William J. Bryan of Nebraska, and a hrst of other prominent party leaders are evpected to attend the great Democratic conference in Washington next month. The Democratic fight in Ohio for the seat in the United States Sonate, now held by Charles Dick, has narrowed to a contest between lieutenant Governor-Klect. Atlee Poruerene, of Canton, and Edward W. Hanley, a prominent lawyer of Dayton. Though many reforms will be urged in the legislatures of the Western States this winter, it is not probablo that measures aimed at railways and corporations will monopolize as at other sessions during the past few years.

ARREST A NEGRO FOR TRIPLE MURDER

(American N'ewa Service) Durham. N. C, Dec. 21. A triple murder was committed in a farmhouse in the southern part of Granville county. S. E. Parks, his young daughter and grandson being the victims. A few hours after the crime was discovered a negro who gave the name of Sam Wynn was arrested here. He denied the crime, but the authorities claim they have positive evidence that he criminally assaulted the girl, then murdered her and her father and nephew and then set nre to the home to cover the traces of his crime. Threats of lynching are being made

and the jail is strongly guarded.

YOUR DIAMOND MINE. Doubtless you have heard Conway's lecture on "Acres of Diamonds." This Is the story briefly: A fortune hunter went far and wide In search of a diamond mine. He returned home after many years, having failed. Oae day he dug in his back yard and found

; his mine. j The moral Is, of course, that fortune waits for . you not in some far dis- : tant place, but In your own back yard. Here is another illustration: Robert S. Seeds, driven out of busi- ' ness by ill health, moved to an abun- ' doned farm in Pennsylvania, which i the owner gave up because he could not "raise anything but rocks." When Seeds moved to the place the i neighbors snickered.

And Bob Seeds' wife sat down on the doorstep of the farmhouse and cried. She read the big advertisements about Roseville down south or Boomtown out west, where you could get rich quick on an acre or so, and she wanted Bob to emicrate. Meantime Seeds scratched away In the rocky place "just for bis health." but he did a lot of reading about soils and a lot of thinking for himself. And he got so busy making things grow that he forgot about his health which is a good, way to get it. To the surprise of the neighbors Bob Seeds made that farm one of the most fertile spots in Pennsylvania. People rubbed their eyes when they went past his farm. And then everybody wanted to know how it was done. Letters came requesting information. They kept coming, and Bob Seeds had to charge a fee for telling how. He hired a stenographer, but she couldn't keep up. Bob raised his fee. Finally he had to go on the lecture platform. 6o insistent was the call. And when he delivered his lectures the farmers wanted to know more about his system. So he had to write a book, entitled "How God Made the Soil Fertile." And Bob's wife cries no more on the doorstep, and she Is glad her husband did not migrate. Moral. Do not go seeking diamonds at the end of some long rainbow. Dig In your back yard.

The Salt In the S?a. The Tytliagoreaus held that the sea was salt by reason of the tears shed by Kronos, father of Zeus. According to the old Hebraic tradition, the ocean was originally a great body of fresh water, but which was made salt by the abundant tears of the fallen augels. One sect of Buddhists believe that Lot's wife that Is to say, the "pillar of salt" which was once the wife of the humble gentleman named above lies at the bottom of the ocean in a certain narrow strait and that once each year the waters of all oceans flow through that narrow channel. The Talmudic writers say that it was never snlt until Moses wept repentance after breaking the tables of stone.
