810 W IS BEST PEACEMAKER, sffiT.il. 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.

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.
