No terrestrial catastrophe can

a collision of comets rlut.ering up

us a feeling of more than passing
interest. When the shadows of
out lives are falling further to the

a latter day shall marvel at some
quake of eaitli, some city wiped
out by arc or fiot d, great areas en

when a future Titanic with its

At the outbreak of the Spanish
yvniencaii War the authorized
anengtn of the regular army of the
United States was 25,000. The ac
tual number in service was un
doubtedly much 1 ms than that j
number and there existed no popu-I
lar (launionr for increased military
strength. The original colonies
had thr.'wn oft the TViU.di yoke in
an idijht year war and at the same
time had defended themselves
against hostile Indian tribes, whoilv
without professional soldiers or
a standing army. Forming a union
of states, the country successfully j
weathered Ihe War of 1S12. the I
Mexican War. and the War with
Spain, all against foreign powers
and all without, any eonsiderabh
burden to the people of a profes
sional liolillciv. In the meantime
it had rompii red and ’expropriated

in tlte nature of things a mili
tary establishment must always lu
despotic.
Military duty makes no question of
right anti wrong. Military discip
line muo be absolute. Men in
large numbers do not evil things
except as they are trained in some
dicta or authority. That is 1he
whole e reuse for discipline. Mili
tarism rs r. permanent policy and
democracy as a principle are there
fore mutually exclusive, one of the
other. It follows that the attempt
to fasten upon us a permanent mi
litary order will be to threaten the
foundations of the Republic. The
people of America will not endure
it. The issue arising from such an
attempt »vili divide our house
against itself as ii lu.s never been
divided.
What we real'y liv’d in the way
of national defense is to preserve
and st'll further increase our
homogeneity ol interests and ua
tional impulse.. N’o amount of ex
pensive armannnt, r.o icgioi s of the
military can ever so protect us as j
a common national opinion nor
wuld even they long avai' us un
less such common opinin is pre
served. Xow we can beat do that
in the pursuits of ponce and the or
derly development of our marvell
cus national resources..
