Whit the rrogTam Meant.
Now that the president li advancing his
plant for the establishment of "adequate" na
tional defense, the elements of cost and contin
uing eipense are also being brought to notice.
If Mr. Wilson asks for $400,000,000 for bis de
fense program, It means an Issue of bonds to
provide the funds. The ordinary revenues of
the government do not at present meet expenses
under democratic administration. The surplus
accumulated under the republicans was quickly
dissipated by the democrats, and for months the
Income has been running; behind the expendi
tures. For the first quarter ot the current fis
cal year the deficit amount to $43,000,000, or
$5,000,000 more than the total deficit for the
preceding year. This compares with a surplus
of more than $85,000,000 at the close of the last
republican administration. In round figures,
the Wilson administration has already run be
hind nearly $170,000,000.
The administration has already been forced
to abandon Its ultra free trade Ideas, to give
over free sugar and free wool and to resort to
nil sorts of extraordinary taxes. Just how It Is
proposed to raise the money to meet tbe presi
dent's defonse plan Is not suggested by him, but
It Is not likely he will be able to curtail expendi
tures in other directions sufficiently to make U
up of the present revenue. Secretary McAdoo
Is about to set forth on a cross-continent tour to
Investigate conditions with a view to cutting off
n.any public building projects. This Is but one
of the curtailments of service to which the dem
ocrats have been driven by their extravagance,
in handling the country's business.
The president may, or may not, get his army
and navy extensions, but the public should un
derstand what his program will cost.
Municipal Problem! Alike Everywhere.
Tha city will hava a revenue of about $1,000,000

The Bee Is not reproducing the item to dis
parage Kansas City, but to call attention of
Omaha to the fact that other cities as well have
their problems. The municipal budget "every-'
where Is growing so fast that It threatens to
reach alarming proportions unless. held down. by
rigid economies and converted Into administra
tive efficiency of full value, returns. Perhaps
Omaha can teach Kansas City lessons well as
draw lessons from Kansas City.

Bank Guaranty Law's Working.
When the democrats were pressing for the
passage of a deposit guaranty law for Nebraska
their most frequently repeated promise was that
it would not Interfere with the legitimate opera
tions of any bank, but would be an encourage
ment and help to Its growth. It was especially
designed to Induce people to deposit their money
in state banks, that they might be built up to a
point where they could compete In service with
the national banks, the Influence and activity ot
which had become such an Important factor in
the business of the commonwealth. Now cornea
an objection from the State Banking board to
the establishment of a strong state bank in
Omaha, for the reason that Its accumulated de
posits are so large aa to overshadow and possi
bly menace the guaranty fund. The bank In
question has deposits of more than $3,000,000,
while the guaranty fund has yet but a million.
If the guaranty law be administered according
to Secretary Iloyse's Implied views It means that
banks chartered by the state can expect to at
tain to only a limited growth, and consequently
a limited usefulness. Without disputing the
conclusions of the secretary, The Bee respect
fully submits that If this law Is to be of full ben
efit to the banking business it will have to be
made sufficiently elastic to permit of reasonable
development along lines that are sound.
EAD1NO tha life of Uncoln Mwtilif was ,lm
prjwd with a parasraph In an address delivered
hr him at Chloairo In lemNr. 1A It is
clrarly applicable to preaent political conditions. Lin
coln mad" thla statement soon after the election In
that year which rmulted In HuchAnan the friend of
slavery becomlna; minority prealdent, through a
dtvlnlon of the opponenta of slavery, rieadins; for
harmony, Lincoln aald:
"All of us who did not vote for Mr. Buchanan,
taken together, are a majority of SV..OH0. But in the
late contest we were divided between Fremont and
Fillmore. On we not come together for the future!
Let every one who really believes and Is re
solved that free society la not and xhall not be a
failure, and who can connclentloiiKly declare that In
the last contest he has done only what he thought
bent let every such one have charity to believe
that every other one can say as much. Thus let
byconea be byg-nnea; lot past differences as nothing:
be; and with steady eye on the real Issue let us
relnaugurate the rood old central Idea' of the re
public We can do It."
No better or more sppreprtate metmaxe can now
be borne to the republicans and progmsalves of this
country: Durlnir the Lincoln-Itouglaa debates In IV,
IotiKla stated: "There can be hut two great political
parties In this country." Unooln never questioned
the soundness of this doctrine. The last three years
have proved It
The La am of 1M4.
In 1864 the life of the republican party was en
dangered by opposition to the renomlnation of Abra
ham Lincoln. A split occurred, and Fremont was
nominated by a faction of the party to oppose Lin
coln. An effort had to be made to preserve the party.
Zachartah Chandler, Michigan's great senator, al
though he had steadfastly opposed many of Lincoln's
policies, stepped Into the breach, and entirely inde
pendent of party machinery, made the fight which
resulted In the withdrawal of Fremont. Thus, the
republican party was preserved, and Lincoln saved
the nation.
A similar situation arose In lfflt The differences
were caused by party practices. All were agreed
upon the essential party principles. The split finally
came on a oholoe of a candidate. Had there been a
Zaoharlah Chandler in the party this country would
not be tn Its present ooodlUnn.
Republicanism la not a "fixed belief." Republican
ism Is a doctrine, and) It wlIL when consistently fol
lowed, revive the constitution of the United States
and make it a Uvtng force.
DeasMrarle Party Wot a National Party.
The deraocratlo Party Is not. from the very nature
of Its (irlnolptea, a national party. "Whenever en
trusted with national control Its leaders defy well
know economic laws. This Is well Illustrated In Its
attempt to execute Its promise for greater economy
In government by amending the tariff laws, which
they hay represented to the country as producing
revenues greatly In' excess of the publlo needs. This
oonomio experiment failing;, the administration re
sorted to emergency legislation to provide for de-
nctenctea' -meir campaign pkkiks of "economy" was
followed by their congTesa making lancer aggregate

The democratic party promised) an immediate re
auction In cost, without Impairing the American
standard ot living. Instead, It has accomplished the
reverse.
The democrats received a full treasury from the
republican party and within the brief period of two
years faced the alternative of a bond lsaue or new

s wis not practicing a deceit upon the country?
War Isaae a Palae Iasae.
The country Is protesting agninet the efforts of
this administration to create a false Issue, by claiming
oreaw lor Keeping- us out or the European war. It Is
hoped that thereby publlo attention will be diverted
from closed factories, bread lines, banarnpt Tallroada
and armies of unemployed. Nothing; but the most
tuptd blundering- could, by any possibility, plunge us
into that war. This administration should heed
George Washington's admonition to avoid lnvotvlng
the nation In European politics.
Protective Tariff. .
In order to overcome the disadvantages at which
ths present administration has placed the country the
republican party must legislate to restore - nentiv.
tariff. At no time In the history of the country has
a protective tariff been so necessary as It will be at
the close of the present conflict In Europe, n i
conceded that the European countries will flood us
wtih cheap manufactures, made at war wages, tn
their efforts to recoup for the tremendous outlay of
the war.
The so-caned -war" tax should be promptly re

Delcaise ' Resignation.
Ordinarily, the resignation of a French" cab
inet minister, or an entire ministry, doesn't In
dicate a crisis In the affairs of that nation, but
the withdrawal from the cabinet of Foreign Min
ister Delcasse portends a disagreement that may
be serious. Premier Vlvtanl virtually admits
that lack of accord In Balkan negotiations Is at
the bottom of the movement, but does not give
Delcaese's reasons bepond this bare statement.
Paris as well as London feels that somewhere a
oorry blunder was made In the Balkan affair,
and the silence at Rome Is more than significant
ot a lack of perfect concord among tbe Quadru
ple Entente allies. Wa may never know, the
whole story, but the Inference Is not to be
avoided that, however united the Allies may be
on military policy, their political movements
have not been harmonious, and differences of
moment still remain to be adjusted. In time
these may be reduced to a frlctlonless basis, but
their present relations are In strong contrast to
those ot their Qertnablo opponents, who proceed
as one. Vlvlaals address to the Chamber of
Peputles on the Balkan affairs and the partici
pation ot France In the defense ot Serbia waa
strongly endorsed, and there Is no real minis
terial crisis, but the withdrawal of Delcasse
shows that French sentiment on the point Is not
(unanimous.
National Defease.
The republican party should devise a comprehen
sive plan for adequate national defense. This contem
plates a large navy with merchant ships as auxiliaries
This Is real defense. History records no Instance where
a navy has ever subverted the country which owned
it Provision should be made for a standing army largo
enough, to supply the framework for a war force.
Thla can be padded out In time of need by a well or
ganised and disciplined militia which the government
should aid In maintaining, as It Is, in practically all
Instances, used for national purposes.
Hepablleaa Party a Herniated Party.
There la an honest and well-defined effort on
part of a large majority of those who broke away from
the republican party In 191J, to arrange a basis for a
reunion. Perslstsnt efforts on the part of personally
ambitious Individuals have been and now are being
made to keep tha breach open. The republican party
has profited by the experience gained In 19U. The
state and congressional elections of 1914 clearly dem
onstrate that former republicans are getting- together
under the old party name. It Is apparent that a con
tinuing division will only operate to perpetuate a po
litical regime opposed to the beliefs of a majority of

Woodrow Wilson la president of the
nation and It Is hia duty to consider the
needs of the people. The people do not
need a mistress of the White House, but
they do need- a president that would be
concerned In their material welfare.
We do not like to see the government
mansion- turned Into a matrimonial es

If Woodrow Wilson thinks that he wUl
ploase the people by opening up the
White House to festivity he la mistaken,
'Tta aald that Mrs. Gait Is a auffragtat
and that she will Influence the president
tn behalf of woman,' Well, If a president
doesn't know what Is right without be
ing Influenced, then he ought not to be
president
If Mra Gait will grasp the reins of
government and drive It into feminine
power she will accomplish more than all
the presidents that have ever lived. If
thla la her aim, her object we will not
criticize her If marriage waa the only
way to victory. However, she will be
disappointed, for after marriage he will
most likely be like old Grove r Cleveland
who, before marriage felt ao well dis
posed towards women that he granted
most every request made by them, but
when he married It wasn't six weeks un
til he growled at every woman who came
within ten feet of him.
