W1L80X AND NATIONAL DEFENSE, After reading that part of President Wilson's personally delivered annual message to congress which deals with the question of national defense, one can hardly help wondering just what bit attitude i» on this question. In* stead of raking a decided stand either and navy, he has succeeded, by resort- ing to his well-known and well-nigh inimitable literary atyle, in giving his expressions an ambiguity which Is de- cidedly perplexing. "The effect or his treatment of this subject," says the Outlook, "has been to impress many Who believe in disarmament and the abandonment of any effort to main* tain a strong navy and an efficient army with the conviction that the president supports their views. On the other hand, be apparently ex- presses a belief In the need Of a strong navy and military efficiency. The country haa taken pleasure in the nicety with which the president forms his phrases.butinthls Instance the occasion seems to us to call for clearness in expression rather than elegance." When we consider the fact that Mr. Wilson is. ns a rule, explicit In his statements, but one. explanation can he made of his equivocation on this question--ho is treading on unfamiliar ground. He advocates leaving tho de- fense of this country in the hands of "armed cttixenry." In referring to this the Chicago News says: "Can any American truly say he be- Uevea the president Is slnoere In his advice to it*?1 «M>*>***Me~*ncnrr"w*t**~ 'ermed citizenry'? He well knows a regiment of armed citlsens would melt away like snow In combat with two companies of our own regulars. As a college man he knows what would happen on a football field to the 'citi- zenry' who would venture to contest s game with a trained team of col- legians." Instead of advising with the gen- eral navy board, comprised of men who have, spent their lives studying military and naval affairs, and who are, consequently, more or less au- thority on these questions, the presi- dent evidently considers himself bet- ter qualified to decide this question than they. Whatever else may be or drink, had lost his position and was unable to provide the necessities of life, would yon on that account re- fuse help? Would the fact that the father waa shiftless be a valid excuse for allowing the wife and children to suffer?

Dr. Samuel Dickie, president of Al- bion college, addressed the Sunday Afternoon club at the Evanston Y. M. C. A. Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Dr. Dickie said that from the busi- ness standpoint, the man who engages in the liquor trafllc is worse than the thief, pickpocket or burglar. He said that the thief robs you of your prop- erty and nothing more. That unlike liquor, he does not rob you of your health, character or reputation, nor does he close the doors of opportunity to tile individual. He said: "If a young man is seen going toto the Ev« > nnston public library he is commend- «™%nJV.f*i"TeJm *°' V ***** of * *«*«» n»ture' If he is seen going into any store, noth* 8:00 p. m.. preparatory service far tog is thought of it But let him en- the communion of Sunday morning, ter a snloon, and the tongues of the community are wagging at once.*' j He said that judging from the men engaged in the liquor business it was an evil thing.
