While the tlrst duty of the Sixty
fourth Congress Is to respond to the
non-mrtisiin demand of the coun
try for wleriiiiito nionsures of mllltiiry
nntl nnvitl propurntton for defence,
that Is not the only sort of prcpnretl
iioss which tbe iiittiim needs.
Nobody hiis presented this tnith
more cogent ly or forcibly than Mr.

Pnrtbermore, the other prepared

provision of up to ditto WMpOBI for
war In Industry, is inseparably cou
MCtad with the military preparedness
which WS hops President Wu son will !
urge uKtn the Congress to-duy with
all the power of his Intellect aud all .
the force of patriotic conviction.
For a single example, as was
pointed out by Vice-President Dixon
of the Pennsylvania Railroad yester
day, it is quite as Important that tho
American railroads should be prepared
for national defence lis it Is that our
navy and our army should be pre
pared. For military efficiency in war
st arms nnd equally for economic
efficiency in a war of Industry there
must be preparation for the mobili
sation and coordination of too coun
try's Internal resources.
Even for the purely military func
tion of transporting troops to tho
point of attack our railroads must be
better than they are now. This means
the unhnlldlnn of the system, the im-

Congress and the National Defence.
Onlonel Hoosevki.t's aolemn warn
ing to Congress not to mnke a party
question of national preparedness is
tm n pur with Minority Loader
Mann's nnnounoomont, made n few
du.vs ago, that "If tho President sends
i Jj5 ii hard nnd fast plnn to Congress
' iSl"1 Instructions to his purty lenders
that they must puss It ho cannot ex-
pert Republican Biipport."
In view of the fact thnt the Demo
cratic mnjorlty In tho new House of
Representatives Is only twenty-five,
enn either of these gentlemen really
have it forebodlug that the national
defcuce bills will be jammed through
Congress at the dictation of Mr. Wri
son? They must know that a by no
menus negligible group In the Demo
cratic purty Incited by Mr. IIbta and
led by Representative Cxacdi: K itch
in. the titular majority leader In tbe
House, Is opposed to tbe plan of naval
expansion proposed by Secretary
Damifas and to the Increase of the
land forces urged by Secretary Oa
bison. Therefore the Republicans
must cooperate with the Democrats
nnd the Democrats must accept Re
publican aid if ,there Is to be any
legislation at all.
Colonel Roosevf.lt need have no
fears nhoiit pnrtlsnn treatment of the
nil absorbing question by the Slxty
fourth rvingress. Judging from some
frank expressions of opinion bp Dem

the Republicans of the House and get
them to vote as a unit for any par

It is generally recognized that pre

tisan question. The people expect the
military nnd nuvul committees to hear
all the experts have to say about the
Qutiaoo and lanlels recommenda
tions nnd present the result of their
deliberations to Congress In cnrefully
drawn bills. Mr. QaJUUSOIl'l meas

people will expect those bills to be

DECEIVING THE FILIPINOS.
Searchlight on the Administration's
Independence Policy.
To tiik KniTos. or Tin Pcn Sir.' In
the healings before tho Congressional
committees un the Philippines the Demo
cratic party, under the shrewd if not
Ingenuous leadership of Secretary Har
rison, developed the theory that the Jones
bill end Its preamble are Justified if not
suggested by tho previous declarations
of President Taft and other Republican
leaders. Quotations from Mr. Taft and
ex-Jovemor-Oeneral Forbes were ad
duced aa binding on the Oovernment and
the pseudo-complaisant Democratic Ad
ministration. In hts laet pronuncla
mento In reply to Mr. Taft Secretary
Harrison uses the same quotations In
support of the smug proposition that the
Democratic programme Is precisely the
same a the Republican programme, and
therefore should b immune from Re
publican attack.
Now. something certainly happened in
tho Philippine islands as soon as Uov-emor-Oeneral
Harrison assumed control.
Business wa paralysed and a period of
distress and dismay succeeded an era
of growing confidence and prosperity.
This result was not duo to tho discharge
of numerous officeholders but to the be
lief, shared by tho merchants of Manila
with the Filipinos themselves and tho
people of the United States, that the
inauguration of Governor-General Har
rlaon meant nn entire change of policy
lending speedily to the surrender of con
trol of the islands. No such business
jsirnlysls would have occurred tf the In
tention of the Democratic party to fol
low the Hepubltoan programme had been
understood. Doubtless Secretary Garri
son deems it mighty adroit politics to
distract attention from the facts as
every on understood them, and to pre
tend that the programme of the Demo
cratic party was to continue the con
servative programme of Governor-General
Forbes and President Taft. but it
i-an hardly he called sincere. Mr. Taft
and Mr. Korlies said many things, and
to understand their intention all they I
said should bsSqtMMSd, not occasional ex-1
tracts. Their declarations taken as a
whole had been Interpreted and were
perfectly understood by Filipinos nnd
Americana alike, and by no one better
than the Democratic leaders, whoe an-
nouncel purpose was to get sway from
the Republican programme of continued
American sovereignty to such a time,
generations in the futun. as the Fili
pinos should have demonstrated ability
for complete self-government.
There are Jones l itis and .tones bills.
Tho one which the Democratic p:irty ap
proved In the Baltimore platform prom
ised Independence at a fixed time, eight
years distant. President Wilson after
his election. In a speech at Staunton, Va.,
stated In a wuy that aas ur.lv-rsally
understood that the limits of American
Sovereignty were to be curtailed by tho
surrender of Philippine control. In view
'of the Democratic platform and Mr. Wll-
.nn'q anee.-ii tf tit nhqtiril for Serretir'
i,.al autonomy In accordance, with Re-
puhllcaji promises.
There IS no question that Mr. Dry"".
Mr. .Tones and Mr. Wilson all looked
! forward to cutting loose from tho Isl
: rlson's speech at his Inauguration, his
Intimate association with Sonor guezon,
the outspoken advocate of Immediate
Independence, followed by the accelera
tion of tho rhlllpplnizatlon of the com
mission and the civil service, convinced
them that the Democratic party li. tended
to put through the Jones bill ns ap
proved at Baltimore. That such was
their original plan nnd that It is still
the pretence they endeavor to impose on
Filipino credulity Is too palpable for
dispute, and Secretary Garrison, as an
apostle of frankness, should admit it.
The truth is the Democrats, as soon
a they were in power, learned a whole
lot about the Philippine question they
didn't know before. Evidences of the
disastrous consequences I follow a
grant of Independent s, ti.e impossibility
that ther.- could be any real genuine In

while in reality the question would he

To trace the Democratic change of
heart read the Ttalttmore platform, Mr.
Wilson's Staunton speech, the original

amble tiH Secretary Oarrlson ciuotcs it.

COXEY'S IDEA WON.
Why Hid Xo Metitrhlsn Beperter
Record Ford's Departure?
To Tits Koitos or Tits Bun Sir.- Why
did the Now York newspapers, nearly
all, report the salUn- of the Henry Ford
espedKSon aa If tt were a Joke? Moot
editors and reporters In thto otter will
probably answer, "Because It was a
Joke." I fear that thlo Is the answer
of slick mediocrity.
Was It truly so thst the reporters eaw
only a spectacular vaudeville Joke? It
Is almost unbelievable. Bo many re
porters were hardly so obtuse There
fore one suspects Insincerity in tho re
port of the sailing.
Hurely there were reporters Whoea
vision carried tieyond the crudeness,
the t-lumslnf-es, womanlehness and ctilld
lhness of the sensual picture, and who
saw the great Idea beyond end the
going power of that idea! Is tt possible
that no reporter was tliere with even
the dramatic sense?
Consider: Henry Ford 1 not at all
a rntlonajlat. nor an artist, nor more
than half an ascetic. lie Is an evangenei
with the Instinct of the poet. Kvange
llsta and poets win always, because they
deigfonlv w!1h the heart.
Nletsschr, the qulntessent aristocratic
mind, tha most powerful lns;ie philo
sophic Influence In the oligarchies of
tlermanv. Rrwland and France, Nlet-
eche. would not have written scoffory
of the Henry Ford expedition. Nietz
sche would have murderously opposed
llenrv RvJ and the idea for which
Sard 1m hur a elan, but Nietzsche
would not have underrated Ford nor j
would he have wasted thought nnd ttme
in trivial ridicule For the philosopher
who hated tie Nnsarene ptieet, and who
wrote the new Gospel of the Superman,
pathetically admlWed that the Nssarene
hnd won, and would win, at lenjrt for
centuries to come, because heart has won
and will win over Socratic rationalism
and the Apollonian Ideal of tho artist.
Whv do you leaders, newspapers, dis
sipate In trivial scorn of the unlmpor-
taut The veriest tyro in the study of
history, the schoolboy, can point out an
unbroken series of world movements
whi-h commenced with dragging fringes
of the frothing motley, the hysterical.
How well the old Greeks knew, that they
rave to the spectacle of great tragedy
Dlonyslan chorus screamingly wild.
Intoxicated.
Well, then, Coxe 'a army marched to
Washington through a revelry of scof
fers. And the idea won. Or was It
Coxey's army that -won?
I om tempted to think that the
Asitortosn oligarchy has made ridicule
a thing In Itself, an end, a fetich. What
Is the American olkcarchy? The pro
fessors, lawyers, Journalists, financiers.
It is the business of an oligarchy to
keep the people, the masses, the slaves
Placated, illusion.-. I. Kute they, tho
masse, will revolt.
It Is dangerous to ridicule Henry Ford
and his Idea. The masses will resent,
grow SUlkm They will love Ford the
more as xu scorn liim.
And the Ford expedition? It is a
drama, tragedy, with i's proper Dlony
sian chorus. He careful I
