CONGRESSMAN BAILY. of the Johnstown Demo
crat, in lengthy editorials in his paper of Tuesday al
most tears his hair in mad despair to think the United
States government is at last waking up to the fact
that this nation is sadly in need of proper defense
for repelling an invading force, and is taking proper
steps to remedy the inadequacy.
lie takes as a criterion, the depleted finances of
the victor—whoever he may be—and the hatred of
%
the now waring nations lying dormant through future
generations and says the departure of an armada for
invasion of this country, would be a signal for con
certed action in Europe against that country.
So! Mr. Baily forgets his history. He forgets
Alexander the Great; he forgets Caesar; he forgets
Napoleon—and he forgets the secedeing South which
preceeded our own civil war, when the nearly disrupt
ed nation, asleep and unprepared even as the united
country is now. waited for the rattle of musketry in
the streets of Baltimore and the roar of Sumter's guns
to awaken her. He forgets the avarice and blood
lust of a conqueror and—he forgets the European war

light, the Nebraskan. (NOT Bryan) the Orduna and

Then the cost of all this will amount to an in
crease of $100.000.000 yearly whereby every man.
and child will be taxed an extra dollar! Then he
flaunts the cry of conscription. Cost! How much
would you give yearly to feel your country was safe?
Every man would be willing to give a dollar, if it had
to be raised in that manner to assure us protection
and peace. We might convert "in time of peace pre
pare for war" into "in time of war prepare for peace.'"
China's lack of preparedness should be a lesson to us.
when Japan, desiring territory, came in the side door
and with not so much as thank you, confiscated the
territory. On the other hand, please notice France in
the invasion of Mexico during the close of our civil
war. What made the campaign come to so abrupt
an end? Because your Uncle Sammy told her to go.
and had a million trained men wearing the uniform ot
blue to back up his demands. France went.
Had China been equal to Japan from a military
standpoint, would she conceded to the hold-up? Not
much! Would France have evacuated Mexico had we
not had those million men? We think not.
We don't cry "German Menace" or "Yellow
Peril" but we do cry "Millions for defence * * be
fore we have to pay greater in tribute. If the presi
dent sees the need of an augmented army and navy,
don't cry "militarist" and if conscription comes, which
is doubtful, let it come. The millinium is not yet
here and disarmament is far remote. If higher taxes
come let them come, but let us have a navy to protect
our coasts, and let it be second to none. Let the
Pliillipines be fortified as are the Hiawaiian islands.
No matter what the cost is in dollars and cents let us
protect our country now, before a war, and not wait
until the booming of hostile guns is heard off our
coasts.
Preparedness is not militarism; it's just plain
horse sense.
TROUSER MAKERS STRIKE
Ten Thousand Men Walk Out In New
York City.
New York. July 13. —Ten thousand
men who make trousers are on strike
nere. According to an official of the
Amalgamated Garment Workers of
America this means a reduction in the
output of 200,000 pairs of trousers a
day.
The troubles of the pantmakers are
entirely separate front those of the In
ternational Garment Workers' union.
If the threatened strike of operatives
in the latte.* organization develops i
dearth of women's clothes w'ii result,
but both employers and employees are
hopeful that this will be averted.
Much confidence is placed in the
mayor's conciliation board", which is in
session today.
There is less optHiism among the
manufacturers of men's garments and
the operatives. There seemed pros
pects that within a few days the strike
may spread to all workers of men's
clothes and even invade, though not
to a great extent, the realm of work
ers of women's clothing. In that case
approximately 75,000 persons would
be affected.
GERARD SIGNED WILSON NOTE
Berlin Papers Disclose Fact, Which
Causes Comment.
New York, July 13. —Copies of Ger
man newspapers which have reached
New York disclose the interesting fact
that the second Lusitania note sent
by President Wilson to the Berlin gov
ernment was signed by the American
ambassador in Berlin, James W. Ge
rard. This shows that the American
notes thus are handed to the Berlin
foreign office by the American repre
sentative in the German capital.
It is recalled in contrast with this
that the German reply to President
Wilson's note was signed, as all
previous ones, by Herr von Jagow, the
German minister of foreign affairs, j
and that they were not sent through
the German embassy at Washington,
i This gives rise to speculation as to <
whether the German ambassador,
Count von Bernstorff, is being inten
tionally ignored, either \iy request
from Washington, or upon the de
cision of Wilhelmstrasse itself.
WILL BUILD SUBMARINES
Two Large Concerns Will Begin
Building Undersea Craft.
Washington, July 13. Formal
notice has been received by the secre
j tary of the navy that the New York
Shipbuilding company and the New
port Shipbuilding company, two of the
largest concerns of the kind in the
i United States, are about to go into the
' business of constructing submarines.
The news aroused great, interest
among naval officials because it prob
ably means broader developments in
this type of war vessels. At present
there are only two submarine build
ing companies in this country. That
there is room for more is indicated
by an apparent determination on
part of the present administration for
the department to ask congress to
greatly enlarge the submarine flotillas

THE STATE OF FRANKLIN.
It Had a Short Life In What Is Now
Eastern Tennessee.
In 1784 North Carolina, growing im
patient of the burden that her western
settlements had imposed upon her
treasury and irritated by the com
plaints of the people of those section.*,
passed an act conveying to the federal
government all the lands that now con- i
stitute the state of Tennessee.
The people of the country that Is
now eastern Tennessee, feeling them
selves left without a government,
made haste to organize themselves into
an independent commonwealth, which
they called, as a tribute to the illus
trious philosopher, the state of Frank
lin. These people applied for admis
sion into the Union; but, the federal
government being slow and unwilling
to act and North Carolina having re
pealed the act of cession of her west
ern province to the Union, the state of
Franklin came into very troubled wa
ters for some years.
Some efforts were made to persuade
the Kentuckians to join themselves to
the state of Franklin, a provision hav
ing been made for such co-operation in
the constitution of the experiment, but
they came to nothing. The new state
gradually fell to pieces, and in 1787 its
brilliant and able governor, John Se
vier, was put on trial for high treason.
He was released by a daring rescue
and subsequently pardoned and restor
ed in name to the leadership, which he
never lost in the affections of his peo
ple. In 1757 the last legislature of the
state of Franklin held its session at
Greenville.—Philadelphia Press.
Napoleon's Confidence.
Jnst before his marriage Napoleon re
ceived the appointment of commander
in chief of the army,of Italy. He
was then twenty-six. "You are rather
young," said one of the directors, "to
assume responsibility so weighty and
to take command over veteran gen
erals."
"In one year," Napoleon replied, "1
shall be old or dead."
"We can place you in command of
men only," said Carnot, "for the troops
are in need of everything, and we
can furnish you with no money to
provide supplies."
"Give me only men enough," Napo
leon answered, "and I ask for nothing
more; I will be answerable for the
result."—"Table Talk and Opinions of
Napoleon Buonaparte."

GOV. CARLSON
URGES VOTES FOR
PENNMOTHERS
Colorado Executive, Speaking
at Kane. Says Women of
His State Have Made
Good as Voters
%
DO NOT NEGLECT THE HOME
Nor Have They Lost Their
Womanly Charm By Voting
Against Its Enemies.
Governor George A. Carlson, of Col
orado, a State where women have
voted for the past twenty-two years,
made a strong appeal to the men ol
Pennsylvania to vote for woman suf
frage this November in an address he
delivered on July 13 last, at the Swed
ieh Lutheran Church at Kane, Pa. He
said:
"Don't let people tell you that the
mothers of your children will prove
incapable, or become coarse, cold or
neglectful In the home if given the
ballot; those who for nearly a quarter
of a century have actually observed
the enfranchised woman at work know
that she can sense the enemy of the
home more quickly and will fight him
with more telling effect than the hus
band, and while preserving all her nat
ural feminine charm and sweetness,
she will become even more devoted to
the man who has allowed her ampler
means and fuller power for the protec
tion of their common fireside.
"The State in safeguarding and pre
serving the health and morals of the
young is but doing a mother's work.
"We need the blending of the mother
heart and the masculine judgment and
will to sustain and guard our homes."
BARBER AND FARMER
DO GREAT TEAM WORK
FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE
City men are not the only ones who
are interested in suffrage. Miss Liliane
Howard, one of the State suffrage or -
ganizers, has been touring the farming
districts recently and this is what she
says of her experiences:
"The interest among the farmers is
very encouraging. We have been hold
ing five or six meetings a day. The
men left their work in the fields and
the women their homes and came to
the meetings no matter how distant
they were. Sometimes they had to
walk and carry the babies but that did
not stop them.
"At Calvin, in Huntingdon County,
the men were out repairing a tele
phone line and could not come to the
meeting. They begged us to come to
where they were working. When we
got there every one of them stood and
listened to every word of our speeches
even though it rained part of the time
"At another town a man was having
bis hair cut when we arrived. When
bk heard the speeches*outside of the
barber shop he made the barber move
his chair out on the street and both of
them listened attentively to the
speeches while the haircut was being
finished."
Jack and Jfll have equal will
And equal strength and mind.
But when it comes to equal rights,
Poor Jill trails far behind.
| A MORAL IN PER-CENTS
Being a Mathematical Calcula
tion Based on Anti-Suffrage
Figures.
FIGURES SOMETIMES LIE
Unless One Knows How to Draw the
Proper Conclusions from Them.
A statement sent out by the organ
ization interested in not getting votes
for women, recites, among instances
of beneficent legislation secured by
ballot, that 23 States have enacted
workmen's compensation laws since
1911, "Only seven of them being suf
frage States,"— which is to say 63%,
or nearly % of the full suffrage States
Sixteen man suffrage States passed
such a law, according to the same au
thority, which is to say just 43% of
the manhood suffrage States.
The same statement makes the point
| that the first Mothers' Pension Law
was passed in 1911, and that since
then six women-suffrage States have
adopted such a law, whereas 12 male
suffrage States have done so. Which
is to say that 54% of the woman-suf
frage States are to be credited with
this law, as against 32J/ a % of the male
suffrage States. (As a matter of fact,
100% of the woman-suffrage States
have passed widowed mothers' pen
sion bills, but one is concerned here
with anti figures, not facts.)
"Eleven male-suffrage States have
equal guardianship laws, which are of
particular advantage to women. Only
seven suffrage States have been suffi
ciently interested to adopt such a
law," continues the statement. Which
is to say that 29% of the male-suffrage
States have passed equal guardianship
laws while "only" 63% of the woman
suffrage States have adopted this law,
"of particular advantage to women."
"Eight suffrage States," continues
this same effort to show how much
more quickly and surely women get
what they want when they haven't the
ballot to get it with, "eight suffrage
States make the age of consent 18, but
ten male-suffrage States have estab
lished this law." Which Is to say that
73% of the woman-suffrage States
have the law as against 270f the
male-suffrage States.
• HE CAME FROM MISSOURI,
HE WAS "SHOWN"—AND
STILL HE DIDN'T BELIEVE
There are some people who are still
wondering whether woman suffrage
will disrupt the home, upset society
and work havoc in general, in spite of
the fact that women now vote in
twelve States in none of which have
these disasters occurred. This atti
tude on the part of opponents of suf
frage recalls a story of pioneer days
when a settler near the present town
of Albany, Missouri, bought for his
J wife the first cook-stove ever seen in
fhat part of the country.
The stove was an object of great
i curiosity, and the woman's next door
f neighbor—a man who lived ten miles
away—came to see how it would work
Without comment he watched the
dinner being cooked; ate the meal
with judgment still held in reserve,
and then remarked, with a shake of
the head:
"Well, Sarah, it cooks all right, and
the victuals taste good, but I don't bo
lieve it will ever be a success."
