NAVAL BILL PASSED
Committee Amendments for
Six Ships Adopted.
MR.. CANNON EXPLAINS

Appeals to the House for Economy and
Succeeds in Effort to Kill
MR.. CANNON EXPLAINS

Shortly after the Senate convened today
a bill was passed authorizing the Newport
Bridge. Belt and Terminal Railway Com
pauy to construct bridge across the White
river in Arkansas
Consideration of the naval appropriation
bill then was resumed, the pending amend
ment being that providing for the con-
struction of two first-class battle ships, two
first-class armored cruisers and two gun
boats
Mr. Perkins, a member of the committee
on naval affairs, argued that some of the
vsssets of the navy ought to be constructed
at government navy yards and he urged
that the admirably equipped government
yards ought to be utilized This policy. he
said. was demanded by the labor unions
Mr.. Plat Comm asked II this was de-
mand or request on the part of the labor
unions.
II mean that it is request" replied Mr..
Perkins. They maintain that it is to the
interest of the government that the navy
yards belonging to the people should be
utilized for building war vessels"
MIR. Perkins discussed the depth of water
at various ship yard docks in the country,
showing that the depth OF water at the
government yards was greater. ordinarily,
than at private yards. He maintained that
with conditions equal, the government
yards having been entirely emancipated
from politics war vessels could be built
at such yards as cheaply as al private
yards and certainly within the contract
price. He maintained that the increased
cost Of construction in government yards.
on account of the eight-hour law. was more
than offset by the immense salaries paid
the management in private yards.
In his opinion the government could be
protected from excessive cost of ships by
the utilization of the advantages of govern
ment yards.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Perkins speech
without further comment, the committee
amendment to the building of two ca CHI
OF battle ships, of cruisers and gunboats
was agreed to.
An amendment offered by Mr. Mallory
F1ai appropriating 100000 for fire proof
building at the Peusa cola, Fla, navy ward
was agreed to-.
The Naval Bill Passed.

MUST SHY H RIGHT
Cleveland Defends Use of
''Cuss Word" Damn.
LEGITIMATE IN FISHING
Must be Said Slowly, Deliber-
ateIy and Without Wrath.
LEGITIMATE IN FISHING

New York, June 26.-Former President
Grover Cleveland declares it is not only
permissible for fishermen to say dam,
but often a duty. This dictum will be as
the balm in Gilead to the army of anglers
for it comes not only with the authority
of a former president of the United States
but with the sanctity that may cling to
the son Of d Presbyterian minister and to
a member of the faculty of Presby-
terrain university.
Mr.. Cleveland qualities his statement
with the explanation that the expletive
must not be delivered in warmth, but
with the slowness and impressiveness of
genuine conviction. Moreover, he says
the proper use of dam" is a cardinal
principle Of the Waltonian cult. This
declaration which may take away the
breath of some orthodox people. was
made in the course of an interview on
the former presidents experiences as a
fisherman.
My biggest catch?" repeated Mr. Cleve
land in response to a question. 1T is
rather a difficult question to answer.
drum when l was down in Virginia, but
bigger ones have been caught there. I
remember losing one that must have
weighed forty or fifty pounds, from the
stress and strain on the rod. 1 viii never
cease to regret losing that fish. because
I wanted Admiral Evans to suffer at the
sight Of it. But the COMPOUNDED line got
caught and the fish escaped.
Yes. 1 swore Under those circum-
stances it is permissible, and in fact in
cumbent upon the true fisherman. But it
must be mild and measured. The phrase
is part of the rubric of the discipline
Of Walton. 1 uttered them slowly and
mpressively-'Damn that FISH"
Mr.. Cleveiands reference to Admiral
Evans may explain his conversion to the
Waltonian faith. It should be noticed that
in setting the seal of his favor on the
ancient and now honorable cuss word,
the former presidents dispensation ex-
tends only to true fishermen" On the
subject he said:
THE whole matter SINNERS down to
this. There are fishermen and there are
hog fishermen. The hog fisherman is
and both should be ruled out of the
fishing fraternity for all time. The for
mer may be skilled with rod and line,
but he has neither forbearance nor mod
Grafton. He is never satisfied with filing
his cree1 with a fair catch. He wants
everything in sight and under the waters.
He is nothing more than a hog.
'The squaw fisherman hasn't any love
for the sport. He doesn't derive any real
pleasure from it. He takes it up as fad
or to acquire a reputation. He only wants
to catch fish to boast about it. He doesn't
catch many as q rule, and he is given to
whining about his i'll luck. His sole cap
ital is his tackle and little fish Ian
guage. Neither a hog fisherman nor
squaw fisherman should be accepted as a
true angler

In order to avoid this dire calamity he

Fifth ward to Paramount HUI, provided
the councilmen from the other wards will

cilmen do not consider that their people

Paramount Hill will not be in total dark

p bushels to the acre. This is mighty
good showing, and while the same thing
has not happened everywhere in the
county, yet this shows what was done
this last winter.
J. o. Nelson, of Kechi. was in the city
