Ion upon which you- are now entering
will be the closing session of the sixty
third congress, a congress, I venture to
say, which will long be remembered for
the great body of thoughtful and con
structive work which It has done. In loyal
response to the thought and needs of the
country. I should like In this address to
review the notable record and Iry to
make adequate assessment of It: but
no doubt wc stand too near the work that
has been done and are ourselves too much

'Looking; to ke Pattrc.
Moreover, our thougnts are now more
of the future than of the past. While
we have worked at our tasks of ieace
the circumstances of the whole age have
been altered by war. What we have done
for our own land and our own people
we did with the best that was in us,
whether of character or of Intelligence,
with sober enthusiasm and a confidence
In the principles upon which we were
actinic which sustained ua at every step
of the difficult undertaking; but it Is
done. It has passed from our hands. It
Is now an established part of the legisla
tion of the country. Its usefulness, Its
effects will disclose themselves in ex
perience. What chiefly strikes us now,
we look about us during these closing
day. of a year which will be forever
memorable In the history of the world,
Is that we face new tasks, tutve been
facing thera these six months, must face
them in the months to com face them
without partisan feeling, like men who
have forgotten everything but a -common
duty and the fact that we-are representa
tives of a great people whose thought is
not of us, but of what America owes to
herself and to all mankind in such cir
cumstances as these upon which wa look
amazed and anxious.
Production .Also Interrupted.
War has Interrupted the means of trade
not only, but also the processes of pro
duction. In Europe it is destroying men
and resources wholesale, and upon a
acale unprecedented and appalling. - There
Is reason to fear that the time la near,
if It be not already at hand, when sev
eral of the countries of Europe will find
It difficult to do for their people what
they have, hitherto been always easily
able to do many essential and funda
mental things. At any rate, they will
need our help and our manifold services
as they have never needed them before;
and we should be ready, more fit and
ready than we have ever been.
It Is of equal consequence that the na
tions whom Europe has usually supplied
with Innumerable articles of manufacture
and commerce of which they are in con
stant need and without which their eco
nomic! development, halts and stands still
can bow get only a small part of what
they formerly Imported and eagerly look
to us to supply their all but empty mar
kets, i This Is particularly true of our own
neighbors, the states, great and small, of
Central and South America. Their lines
of trade have hitherto run chiefly ath
wart the seas, not to our ports, but to
the ports of Great Britain and of . the
older continent of Europe.' I do not stop
to Inquire why, or to make any comment
on probable causes. What Interests us
Just now )s not the explanation, but the
fact, and our duty and opportunity in
the presence of It. Here are markets
which we must supply, and we must find
the means of action. The United States,
this great people for whom- we speak and
act, should be ready, as never before, to
serve Itself and to serve mankind; ready
with its resources, its energies, its forces
of production and Its means of distribution.
Merchant Marine Needed.
It is a very practical matter, a matter of
ways and means. We have the resources,
but are we fully ready to use them? And,
If ' we can make ready what we have,
have we the means at hand to distribute
it? We are not fully ready; 'neither have
we the means of distribution. We are
willing, but we are not fully able. , We
have the wish to serve and to serve
greatly, generously; but we are not pre
pared as we should be. We are not ready
to mobilise our resources at once. We
are not prepared to use them Immedi
ately and at their best, without delay J subsidies led to many scandals of which
and without waste. we are ashamed; but we know that the

the sanction of the senate. I mean the
bill which gives a larger measure of self

not believe that the senate will let this

most every point. Ships and live, have

We have not provided adequate vessels
or adequate machinery for the survey

that were not big enough or strong

detailed Items of legislation, and the trade
which we ought Immediately to handle
would disappear or find other channels
while we debated the item..
The case is not unlike that which con
fronted us when our own continent was
to be opened up to settlement and Indus
try, and we needed long lines of railway,
extended mean, of transportation preJ
pared beforehand, if development was not
to lag Intolerably and wait Interminably.
We lavishly subsidized the building of
transcontinental railroads. We look back
upon that with regret now, because the

Economy Is Not Debatable.
One of these is economy In government
expenditures. The duty of economy is not
debatable. It is manifest and Imperative.
In .the appropriations we pass we are
spending the money of the great people
whose servant, we are not our own. We
are trustees and responsible stewards in
the spending. The only thing debatable
and upon which we should be careful to
make our thought and purpose cleir is
the kind of economy demanded of us. I
assert with the greatest confidence that
the people of thn United Btates are wot
Jealous of the amount their government
cost. If they are sure that they get what
they need and desire for the outlay, that
the money I. being .pent for objects of
whlrh they approve, and that It Is being
management.
Governments gmw. pleeemeal, both In
their tasks and In the mean by which
those tasks are to be performed, and
very few governments are organised, I
venture to say, ss wise and experienced
business men would organise them If they
had a clean sheet of paper to write upon.
Certainly the government of the United
States Is not. I think thst It Is generally
a (fifed that there should be a systematic
reorganisation and reassomhllng of Its
parts so as to secure greater efficiency
and effect considerable savings In ex
pense. Put the amount of money saved
In thst" way would. I believe, though no
doubt considerable In Itself, running. It
may be, Into the m'lllons. be relatively
small small, I meat-. In proportion to the
total necessary outlays of the govern
ment. It would be thoroughly woith ef
fecting as every saving would, great or
small. Our duty ls not altered by the
scale of the saving. But my point Is that
the people of the United States do not
wish to curtail the activities of this gov
ernment; they wish, rather, to enlarge
tnem; and with every enlargement, with
the mere growth. Indeed, of the country
Itself, there must come, of course, the
Inevitable Increase of expense. The sort
of economy we ought to practice may be
effex-ted. and ought to be effected, by a
careful study ond assessment of the tasks
to be performed; and the money sent
ought to be made to yield the bet.t pos
sible returns In efficiency and achieve
ment. And, like good stewards, we should
so account for every dollar of our ap
propriations as to make It perfectly evi
dent what It was spent for and In what
way It was spent.
It Is not expenditure but extravagance
that, we should fear being criticised for;
not paying for the legitimate enterprises
and undertakings of a great government
whose people command what It should
do, but adding what will benefit only a
few or pouring money out for what need
not have been undertaken at all or mlKht
hnvo been postponed, or better and more
economically conceived and carried out.
The notion Is not nlRardly; It la very
generous. It will chide us only If we for
get for whom we pay money out and
whose money It Is we pay. These are
large and general stsndarda, but they are
not very difficult of application to par
ticular oases.
Problem of National Defense.
The other topic I shall tske leave to
mention goes deeper Into the principles
of our national life and policy. It Is the
subject of national defense. 1
It cannot be discussed without first
answering some very searching questions.
It is said In some quarters that we are
not prepared for war. What Is meant by
being prepared? Is it meant that we are
not ready upon brief notice to put a na
tion in the field, a nation of men trained
'to arms? Of course we are not ready to
do that; and we shall never be In time
of peace so long as we retain our present
political principles and institutions. And
whflt Is it that It Is suggested we should
be prepared to do? To defend ourselves
against attack? We have always found
means to do that and shall find them
whenever It Is necessary without calling
our people away from their necessary
tasks to render compulsory military serv
ice In times of peace.
Allow me to speak with great plainness
and directness upon this great matter and
to avow my convictions with deep earn
estness. I have tried to know what
America is, what her people think, what
they are, what they most cherish and
hold dear. I hope that some of their
finer passions are In my own heart somo
of the great conceptions and deilres which
gave birth to this government and which
have made the voice of this people a voice
of peace and hope and liberty among the
peoples of the world, and that, speaking
my own ' thoughts, I shall, at least In
part, speak their, also, however faintly
and Inadequately, upon this vital matter.
Champion of Pence.
We are at peace with all the .jvorld.
No one who speaks counsel based on
fact or drawn from a Just and candid
Interpretation of realities can say that
there Is reason to fear that from any
quarter our Independence or the Integrity
of our territory is threatened. Dread of
the power of any other nation we are
incapable of. We are not Jealous of
rivalry in the fields of commerce or of
any other peaceful achievement. We
mean to live our lives as we will; but
we mean also to let live. We are, indeed,
a true friend to all the nations of the
world, because we threaten none, covet
the possession, of none, desire the over
throw of none. .Our friendship can be
accepted and Is accepted without reserva
tion, because It Is offered In a spirit and
for a purpose which no one need ever
question or suspect. Therein lie. our
greatness. We are the champions of peace
and of concord. And we should be very
Jealous of this distinction which we have
sought to earn. Just now we should be
particularly Jealous of it, because It Is
our dearest present hope thst this char
acter and reputation may presently, In
God', providence, bring u. an opportunity
such as has seldom been vouchsafed any
nation, the opportunity to counsel and
obtain peace In the world and reconellla-

while we retain our present principles
and Ideals we never shall have, a large

not turn America into a military camp.

when half the world Is on fire we shall :
j be careful to mnke our moral Insurance
I against the spread of the conflagration
very definite and certain and adequate,
i Indeed.
I Let us remind ourselves, therefore, of
! the only thing we can do or will do. We
must depend In every time of national
peril. In the future as In the past, not
upon a standing army, nor yet upon a
, reserve army, but upon a cltlsenry
j trained and accustomed to arms. It will
be r!ht enough, right American policy. I
based upon our accustomed principles and
, practice, to provide a system by which
' every cltlien who will volunteer for the j
training may be made familiar with the i
use of modertv arms, the rudiments of !
drill and maneuver, and the maintenance j
and sanitation .of camps. Wc should en-!
courage such t4slnpg and make It a j
means of discipline which our young men
will learn to value. It Is right that we j
I should provide It not only, but that we
I should make It as attractive as possible, I
and so Induce our young men to undcrito '
lit at such times as the can command a
l little freedom and can keek the physical !
i development they need, for mere health's !
I sake, If for nothing more. Every menna
I by which such things can be stimulated Is
legitimate and such a method smacks
of true American Ideas. It Is right, too,
that the National Guard of the states
should be developed and strengthened by
every means which Is not Inconsistent
with our obligations to our own people
or with the established policy of our
government. And this, also, not because
the time or occasion specially calls for
such measures, but because It should be
our constant policy to make these provi
sions for our natlonnl peace and safety.
Would Not He vera.. Policy.
More than this carries with it a re
versal of the whole history and character
of our polity. More than this, proposed
at this time, permit me to say, would
mean merely that we had lost our .elN
possession, that we had been thrown off
our balance by a war with which we have
nothing to do, whose causes cannot touch
us, whose very existence affords ua op
portunities of friendship and disinterested
service which should make us ashamed
of any thought of hostility or fearful
preparation for trouble. This 1. assuredly
the. opportunity not only to speak but ac
tually to embody and exemplify the coun
sels of peace and amity and the lasting
concord which is based on Justice and
fair and generous. dealing.
A powerful navy we have alwaya re
garded as our proper and natural means
of defense; and it has always been of
defense that we have thought, never of
aitgresston or of conquest. But who shall
tell us now what sort of navy to build T
We shall take leave to be strong upon
the seas In the future as In the past;
and' there! will be.no thought of offense
or of provocation In that. Our ships are
our natural bulwarks. When will the
experts tell us just what kind we should
construct and when will they be right
for ten years together, If the relative ef
ficiency of craft of different kinds and
uses continues to change as we have
seen It change under our very eyes In
these last few months?
Duties of Peace.
But I turn away from the subject. It ls
not new. There ls no new need to discuss
It. We shall not alter our attitude toward
It because somo amongst us are nervous
and excited. We shall easily and sensibly
agree upon a policy of defense. The ques
tion has not changed It. aspects because
the times are not normal. Our policy will
not be for an occasion. It will be con
ceived as a permanent and settled thing,
which we will pursue at all seasons,
without haste and after a fashion per
fectly consistent wtlh the peace of the
world, the abiding friendship of states
and the unhampered freedom of all with
whom we deal. Let there be no miscon
ception. The country ha. been m'sln
formed. " We have not been negligent of
national defense. We are not unmindful
of the great responsibility resting upon
us. Ws shall learn and profit by the
lesson of every experience and every
new circumstance; and what I. needed
will be adequately done.
I close, as I evgan, by reminding you
of the great tasks and duties of peace,
which challenge our best power, and In-
vtte us to build what will last, the tasks I
to which we can address ourselves now !
and at all times with free-hearted .est

HERE I. a belief on
on the part of many
people that those who
use whiskey partake of
a stronger drink than
those who drink wine
or beer. Owing to the universal
custom of reducing whiskey,
this 1. not true. Roughly speak
ing, the relative strength of li
quors is about a. follows: Ueer,
1; wine, 20, and whiskey

however. Is the method of- con
sumption employed In these
three drinks. Whiskey It Is
true. Is stronger, b'ut whiskey,
in practically all Instances, is'
taken in such small quantities
or in a form so dllluted that the'
actual difference '
in strength be
tween It and wine
and beer is neglig

When a man
drinks wine It Is served In a wine
glass containing from J4 to 4
ounces. A glass of beer Is al
ways large and contains from II
to 1 2ouncrs. Zt la plain that the
strength of a drink of each ls
praotloally the tame.
There la another fact that
must be considered. The man
who uses whiskey will either
stop In at a bar, buy a high
ball and go on his way or take
a toddy at home after a busy
day's work. The' beer drinker
often sits down, remains for a
considerable length of time and
drinks many glasses.

This Is true of all dis

' Any woman who ho
made gooseberry wine or currant
or raspberry wine Is aware of
the difficulty of preventing
secondary fermentation.
The processes of distilling
whiskey from grain are exactly
like the process ' of making
bread. The grain is first se
lectedonly the best is used,
because the best Is the cheapest
in the result, obtained.
The grain, used are corn, rye
and malt. These are first
cleaned of all dust and chaff.
The grain, are next ground
Into meal and mixed in proper
proportion.
The meal la scalded with hot
water and stirred until a proper
solution of the starch In the
grain ls secured. Malt is then
added to convert the starch into
augur. After this process has
been completed the entire nitlah

vats, and In these vat. a pure,
high-grade yeast ls thoroughly
mixed with it. This brings
about fermentation, which is the
conversion of the starch into
sugar.
The mixing tubs,
yeast vessels,
yeast room and
conveying pipe,
are thoroughly
terlised.
Cleanliness must
be absolute. Not

cleanliness, but th

The increase in tho consump

sents a fair gauge of the popu
larity of the beverage. In 1891I
the annual consumption was
over 8.1 million gallons. This
amount steadily Increasod from'
year to year until In 191S. the
consumption was HO filllon

Surely the place of diluted
whiskey as the national bever-.
age of the United States ls be
