“PREPAREDNESS" AS AN ISSUE
It becomes more and more evident from day to day that one of the issues
of the national camapign in this country next year, if not the biggest Issue
of all, will be that of “preparedness." Mr. Wilson has made an issue upon
which he will be forced in large measure to make his race, and it is by no
means certain that it will be a winning issue.
All Ills life he has been of a different mind. In fact he has been a demo
crat and the building of large naval armaments and the increasing of stand-

front at a time when new developments have changed the necessary conduct
of nations. It Is not giving up any of his democracy but rather an adjustment j
of democracy to changed conditions.
He makes it perfectly clear that he Is in favor of preparing for national j
defense and not for war. The increased strength of navy and army is to be
used to prevent this nation from being overrun In any war that might arise.
It is believed that this preparation will insure peace end that it will mean J

But the president may find it hard to convince the people that he is right.
There is a large element in the republican party that may vote with him as
his views are not out of harmony with theirs and they do not want a change
Just now for business reasons. At the same time there Is a large element In
the democratic party, siding with Mr. Bryan, that does not agree with him
and that may give trouble.-
The president has hitherto been quite successful In carrying through con
gress the plans that he has made and the party has stuck to him remarkably,
“ | but it may be different when the issue is presented in congress that calls for
the payment of so large a sum of money as will be required for carrying out
the plans that have been suggested by the president.
Whatever may come in the next year, it cannot be a matter of doubt as
to this being a presidential issue. It goes without saying that Mr. Wilson
will be the democratic nominee for the presidency and he has made the issue
upon which his campaign will of necessity be largely waged.

BELGIUM AND GREECE
One cannot help comparing theactions of these two nations in the great
war that is now convulsing Europe. Belgium did not hesitate to cast her for
tunes into the balance and lose her lands and her people when her foes ap
peared at her gates. She may in a measure get compensation some day, but
can never be fully repaid for what she has losL But Belgium did not stop to
count the cost or figure on who would be the winner in the struggle.
Greece had a treaty with Serbia, a treaty that called for the extending
of armed aid to Serbia in case Bulgaria should attack her. The attack has
Why doesn’t a censor have a little I been made. Greece has been called on to send aid. She has refused to do
so. Presumably it Is because the sister of the kaiser 1b the queen of Greece,
but it may not be improbable that one of thn causes is that Greece has been
casting about to find the winner and thinks that the Teutonic allies fill that
description.
Greece has nothing to hope from Bulgaria or from Germany and Austria.
She has much to hope on the other side. Her people are for the most part
with the Allies in sympathy. Venizelos is the most powerful man in public
life and bis sympathies are entirely with the Allies of the Entente. But thus
tar he has been unable to cast the lot of Greece where he. wishes to.
The critical moment has about arrived in Greece. The Entente Allies
are tired waiting for her action. They have put it squarely up to her as to
whether or not she will do her duty. If she fails they may have to do some
fighting there themselves.

THE SERVICES OF LAFAYETTE
Just now in connection with the movement to raise funds for the relief I
of the people of northern France who are within the German lines and on
whom the brunt of war has fallen with unusual severity, a movement has
been started in some of the schools to have the children study the life of |
LaFayette.
Regardless of the immediate purpose of such a study, the interesting of I
the children in the relief movement in progress, such a study cannot hut
do good, for all the children of the United States should know of the services |
of that gallant Frenchman during the War of the Revolution.
The independence of the United colonies might have been achieved soon-1
er or later without the aid of France, but it would certainly have been later

♦ BABY WEEK. *
+ + + 4
The Children’s Bureau of the Unit
ed States Department of Labor an
nounces that state health officials of
thirty-nine states have already
pledged their cooperation in the ob
servance of the nation-wide Baby
Week. March 4 to 11, 1916, recently
proposed by the General Federation
of Women’s Clubs. Scores of letters
about Baby Week have been pouring
into the Children's Bureau ever since
the plan was announced and the bu
reau’s preliminary circular of infor
mation about Baby Week has been
sent in response to inquiries from or
ganizations' in forty-five states and
the (District of Columbia.
The bureau has prepared these cir
culars and has in press a longer bul
letin on Baby Week, which will short
ly be available tor free distribution,
In order to place at the disposal of all
communities the practical experience
«f those cities which successfully con
ducted local Baby Week campaigns
—notably New York, Cblago, Pitts-
Trargh, Indianapolis, Grand Rapids,
Topeka, Yonkers, and Long Beach,
Cal. Special sections of the circulars
are devoted to suggestions for Baby
Week in small towns and villages.
The strong arm of LaFayette, bis troops and his money, bis valor and
the inspiration of bis conduct, did much to bring the war to a successful end.
The government of the United States recognized the debt It owed to La
Fayette. The people of this country know too little about the service. And
Incidentally it might be remembered that there were other gallant French
men who helped in those days, notably the Count D’Estaing.
The people of the United States will not forget at this time the people
of that country that produced LaFayette and D’Estaing and others who
helped us when we needed them. The people of this country kept the Bel
glaus from starving last winter and this winter they will help the French who
are beyond the reach of help from their own countrymen and who are in
sore need of assistance.

The electrical industry is not con
tent to sit quietly and wait for pros
perity to take us own good time about
coming back. This is not at all the
nature of things electrical! It is
going right out after prosperity dur
ing the week of November 29 and
December 4, and bring it back, or
know the reason why. And when this
three-bilUon-doilar industry starts out
after anything it usually gets it.
Electrical Prosperity Week is to
be a country-wide, six-day celebra
tion. Its purpose will be to show to
the public how electricity, the all-per
vading force of the universe, the most
willing and most reliable -servant in
the world, is permanently linked with
present-day progress. The great cel
ebration will herald far and near elec
trical wonders of which milllons^do
not know, possibilities of which they
have never dreamed, facts which will
surprise the most optimistic.
The time is set for November 29
to December 4; the place, the United
States of America. Timed for the be
ginning of the Christmas shopping
period, it will afford an effective stim
ulation to the “shop early” idea. The
movement originated with the Society
for {Electrical Development, jIn)cor-
porated, with headquarters in New
York. It is backed by the united
electrical interests of the country.
It is planned to rend the clouds of
depression, to hasten an era of bright
ness', truth and understanding, f to
foster a spirit of optimism.
All are not fully aware of the vast
possibilities of electricity in solving
domestic and business problems.
Homes where drudgery exists can be
made cleaner, brighter and healthier
by this willing servant. Expensive,
inefficient and wasteful methods now
employed in thousands of industrial
and commercial establishments can
be bettered by electric power.
It (is (thflj. (purpose of Electrical
Prosperity Week to bring these facta
home to people by displays, exhibi
tions, lectures, shows and advertising.
People will be shown most conclu
sively that electricity is a necessity,
not a luxury; is economical, not ex
pensive; is simple, not complex; Is
general in scope, not limited; is safe,
not dangerous; is useful every day
in the week. The Society for Electri
cal Development, supported by legions
of boosters, comprising a unanimous
and unbroken lineup of the electrical
fraternity throughout the country, is
managing the great event Optimists
find this movement a real opportunity
to rally to the banner in ever increas
ing numbers.
ELECTRICITY AND PROSPERITY.
James J. Hill, premier railroad *r-
ganlzer and financier, paid a glowing
tribute to electricity when askedwhat
he thought of the plan to devote the
week of November 29 to December 4
to a celebration of the return of good
times and to be known as “Prosper
ity Week.” Sail Mr. HJll:i
“Electric energy can be ; carried
anywhere. It has, therefore, taken
the place of millions of human hands.
Nor is there any ascertained limit to
which its use3 may he put A great
transformation has been wrought in
the lifetime of a single generation.
“Railroad engines, street cars, ele
vators, all sorts of light power ma
chinery, are now dfitted with electric
motors The mysterious force is busy
about our houses, lighting, sweeping,
washing, cooking, heating and per
forming deftly and quietly scores of
lesser tasks. The country calls for
it. Much of the manual labor about
the farms might be performed by this
subtle agent that already knows how
to milk a cow.”
The monument to William MCKin-
| ley unveiled yesterday in Ohio is a
fitting tribute to a great and good
man. The entire country honors his
| memory.
