The battleships ofmodern times are
a necessity to any great nation which
intends to maintain its rights and pro-
tect its interests, believes the Atlanta
Journal, but their cost is heavy. An
outlay of something like So, 900, 900 is
required to construct and equip ship
which would take high rank in any
modern navy. After such ship is
complete the expense of maintaining
it is very heavy, This item for each
of our big battleships is now about
$500 day even when they do no fir
ing. The daily expenses Of our navy
are now over $50, 900 a day. The total
annual expenses of a frst-class battle
ship are estimated at $547, 900, divided
as follows:
Pay Of officers. crew and marines 1926, 900
Bations. -.......,............. 48,OOO
Equipment. ........1........ ..-.t $4,000
Navigation charges. 5000
Ordnance. ...........~-... $4,000
Construction and repairs .... 1900
steam engineering ......... 49,. $4,000
General supplies .......,...... $4,000
Medicine, surgery, secretary's Of
flee and incidental expenses. -. $4,000
The cost of ammunition used dur
ing an engagement is immense, but it
is Of course impossible to estimate
this in calculating the expense Of a
navy. Repair to warships, cruisers
and other craft even in time Of peace
is large, but after every engagement
it is necessarily immense, even for the
victor. War on a modern basis is q
terrific 'absorber Of money, and there
never was a time when the importance
of money as factor in war was any
thing like as great as it is now.

to the history of current politics in Ken
lucky. from 1893, when / was first elected
to the Senate. up to the time of my Sc
cond election
Mr.. Lindsay then defined his position
on the financial question and quoted
facts to make it clear that he was the
representative of the whole people of
Kentucky, and not in any sense the agent
OF the Kentucky Legislature.
Above ALL he was. ne said. a senator
for the whole American people and as
such would perform his duties and cast
his vote in accordance with his convic-
tiOns, and with the dictates of his con-
science.
STATE AND FEDERAL POWERS.
In conclusion, Mr.. Lindsay said: "a
scrupulous regard for the division of
powers between the State and Federal
Governments. and the careful observance
of the boundary line which separates
those powers, is a cardinal doctrine Of
Jeffersonian Democracy. yet we have here
the spectacle Of controlling majority
of a State Legislature, boldly overstep-
ping that line of demarcation and in the
name of Democracy demanding that L
shall surrender my commission because,
in their estimation. l have ceased TO be
a Democrat. They seem ignorant of the
underlying principles OF the historic Dem
ocratic party, or else regardless of their
obligation to observe those principles.
Their right to impeach my Democracy,
or 20 put me upon the defence Of my re-
cord as a Democrat, l utterly and abso-
lutely repudiate.
This much / have thought it proper TO
say. and with these remarks / dismiss
the so-called legislative request for my
resignation"
Shortly after Mr.. Lindsay concluded,
the Senate. on motion of Mr.. Davis, of
Minnesota, chairman of the Foreign Re-
lations Committee. went into executive
session. No. business Of Importance was
transacted in the brief open session. AT
$40 p. NJ, the Senate adjourned until
Monday.
