Calls Abandonment of Battle
ship Program Unpardona
ble Policy.
OYSTER BAY, N. Y„ July 26.—Tak
ng direct issue with the Democrats
who have declared against building up
the American navy. Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt today declared that to pre
vent the United States becoming the
China of the western hemisphere it
would be necessary to carry on the pro
n providing for the construction of
battleships. He asserted that this
countrv might as well think of aban
doning the Panama canal as giving up
the policy of strengthening the navy.
To make this positiop clear, the ex
president said:
I'he Democrats, if they vote down
the battleship program, if logical,
should vote to abandon the Panama
canal. It is as understandable a policy
to abandon the Panama canal as to
abandon building up the fleet, and to
say that this nation shall simply be
come the China of the western hemi
sphere.
•T don’t believe In that policy, but at
]. ;ist it's understandable. But the one
unpardonable policy is to incur respon
sibility and then to decline to adopt the
neo-ssary means to enable us to meet
that responsibility. It is an outrage
from the standpoint of national honor
ami integrity to go on with the Panama
canal at all unless we both fortify it
and keep up an adequate navy.
Strength Makes Peace.
"Em the rm ore, any talk as to what
we intend to do about the Monroe doc
trine or the Panama canal, or the pro
tection of Hawaii, or any other matter
is not merely offensive, but contempti
ble. if we abandon building up the navy
and show that we really have neither
the power nor the will, if the need
should ever come, to make our word
good by deed.
"Out in the country in the old days it
used to be proverbial that the man who
was most apt to get into trouble was
th*- man who was always ready to draw
but not to shoot. The man who never
got into trouble was the man who was
never flustered, who never was offensive,
who never wronged or insulted any
one, but who, as everybody well knew,
was entirely competent to hold his own
if attacked.
"I believe in the upbuilding of the
United States navy as an insurance for
peace. 'l'he voyage* of our battleship

fleet around the world was one of the
greatest moves for peace this country
has ever made. I hope that our people
will always bebave not only' with scru
pulous justice, but with the utmost
generosity toward all other nations,
weak and strong, and I also hope that
it will make it evident that such action
is due not to timidity on our part, but
to genuine love of justice, and we will
become impotent either to secure jus
tice for others or to secure the best for
ourselves if we abandon the upbuilding
of the navy, for the minute we stop
building up the navy the navy begins
to go backward.”
Acceptance Speech Completed.
Colonel Roosevelt has finished his
speech which will be delivered at the
national convention of the Bull Moose
patty to be held in Chicago and the
manuscript was today sent to the
printers. He spent the morning in
cross-country riding and visiting his
neighbors.
When he returned to his home the
statement of William Jennings Bryan
was shown him. In the statement Bry
an refers to Roosevelt as Hamiltonian
and a retrogressive.
Roosevelt dismissed 'the matter with
a smile and the only comment he would
offer was, “Oh, well, it is not the first
time that Bryan has attacked me. I
guess we can pass over anything he
might say without'feeling peeved.”
Roosevelt Men
Control After Riot
SAN FRXNCISCO, July 26,-Roose
velt men are in control of the Repub
lican county organization here today
following a riotous meeting of the com
mittee last night. For more than a
quarter of an hour the members of the
committee engaged in a fight, the ob
ject of which was to prevent Chair
man Sanborn escaping from the hall.
The chairman and fifteen members of
the committee managed to gain the
exits.
Ihe fight started when, after a mo
tion had been put to apportion dele
gates for the county convention in Sep
tember, Chairman Sanborn declared a
motion to adjourn carried. He desired
to ward off an attack on Taft.
Then he rushed for the door. The
Roosevelt men tried to block his prog
ress. After he had gone the Roosevelt
men, numbering about 65, reorganized
the convention and adopted resolutions
condemning the nomination of Taft in
Chicago and declaring in favor of
Roosevelt.

BILL IB AIMED TO
SAVE STATE GOIN
Representative DeFore Would
Limit Power of Legislature to
Make Appropriations.
iiepresentative DeFore, of Bibb, in
troduced a constitutional amendment in
the house today which seeks to limit
the power of the legislature to make
appropriations.
The limit sought is that all appropri
ations for any one year shall never ex
ceed in the aggregate the revenue of the
state for the next preceding year for
which appropriations are made.
The proposed amendment provides
that the general appropriation bills
shall embrace nothing except appropri
ations fixed by previous laws, the ordi
nary expenses of the executive, legis
lative and judicial departments of the
government, payment of the public debt
and interest thereon, and the support
of the public institutions and educa
tional interests of the state. All other
appropriations shall be made by sepa
rate bills, each embracing but one sub
ject.
The object of Mr. DeFore’s proposed
amendment is to overcome the constant
hnd growing criticism that legislatures
do not force the state to live within
its income; that they are given to the
authorization of appropriations that
can not be met, and that the state is
continuously embarrassed by over
spending.
It is Mr. DeFore’s idea that with a
constitutionally limited tax rate in one
direction and constitutionally limited
appropriations in another, the matters
of economy and frugality in the ad
ministration of state finances might ba
solved sensibly.
