SPIRIT OF THE PRESS
President Responsible for Quay

The president of the United States hands
over to him ''the federal patronage, or the
public offices, to do with as Mr. quay wills,
and he wills to use it for what it is worth;
as a means to the construction and main
tanning in operation great and powerful
political organization. The president knows
that the sordid politician upon whom he
confers the control of the federal patronage
in Pennsylvania uses it not for the sole
advantage of the country, but for his own
personal and political purposes. To that
extent, at least, does the president make
himself responsible to the country and to
Pennsylvania for both Quay and Quayism,
the latter being the most dangerous, mahgn
and corrupt force in American politics.

Reaching Out for Naval Supremacy

According to all present indications the
country that will first challenge Great
Britain for naval equality is our own. Our
vast coast line, our increasing exports, not
only of agricultural products, but OF manu-
factured wares, along with the greatly
diminished cost of the materials for ship
building, the growing sentiment Of our peo-
pie in favor both of territorial and COM

it probable that the United States is
destined to become in process of time the
first naval power Of the world.-Louisville
