THE DANGERS OF
TARGET PRACTICE.

Since the recent accident on the
battleship Iowa, papers throughout the
country have been commenting upon
the dangers Of target practice. ana
the whole question has been tnrashed
over until it is getting. pretty well
worn out. The New Orleans Picayune
OF yesterday, however, takes another
crack at it, as follows:
1t will be remembered that recently
one of the S-inch turret guns of the
battleship Iowa met with an aceiden;
while being fired at target practice OF
the port OF Pensacola, in the gulf.
The muZzle Of the gun was blown OF
thereby disabling the weapon, but do
Ing no other damage, fortunately. 1t
was at first thought that the accident
vas due TO defects In the gun itself
and it was feared that an entire lot of
more than thirty such guns would
have to be discarded
An investigation of the damaged gun
appears to have convinced the ord.
nance expert that the fault lies not
with the gun but with the smokeless
powder used as ammunition. The
guns of the type mounted In the s-inch
turrets of the Iowa were constructs
to use the old-fashioned brown pow.

SAILOR PROTESTS AGAINST
CLOSING STORES AT 6 p. N

Pensacola, Fla, April q, 1905.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
In a recent issue of your paper
there came to my notice an announce
ment from the Clerks Union of Pen
sacola, stating that all retail stores
would have to close at six p. m. after
the 25th of this month. l do not think
this is fair 10 the men of the fleet.
some of whom cannot get ashore until
after that hour, and are therefore
compelled to go without purchasing
necessary wearing apparel, and there
fore spend their money foolishly.
Last year the stores kept open after
six o'clock during the entire stay of
the fleet, and ! think it was no doubt
profitable to them. Now why is it
that they want them TO close at six
o. clock this year, and especially as
they will be soon leaving and will
need clothing, shoes and other things,
as it is an almost impossibility to get
them down around the Caribbean
coast; is it that the men of the fleet
are SO obnoxious to them, that they
refuse to take their money after six?
This is a matter that | think should
be looked into and rectified-

der, and they are not sufficiently strong
to use smokeless powder with safety.
Instead of abandoning the whole lot
of guns, the navy department has
wisely decided to employ more suit
able ammunition,
This explanation of the accident to
the Iowa's S,inch gun seems reason
able. and the remedy to be adopted to
prevent similar occurrences on other
ships also appears to be the wisest
thing to be done under the circum-
stances. Eventually the old type guns
will be removed and modern guns
substituted, but such a change cannot
be made in a day. 1t would have been
a serious loss TO the government. as
well as source of embarrassment,
had it been found necessary to con-

Plea for University.

The legislature now in session at
Tallahassee should be liberal in its ap-
preparation to the University of Flor
ida, and we respectfully urge our
senator and representative TO do all
in their power towards placing the
claims OF this institution in a proper
light before that body. The university
is not Lake City institution. but
belongs to the whole state OF Florida,
and every citizen, no matter where he
resides. and every legislator, no mat
ter from what section ne may come,
should feel equally interested in see
ing the institution built up until it is
the peer of any in the United States,
in so far as it shall provide the means
for a liberal and thorough education.
Every legislator, therefore, should feel
a personal interest in this matter, and
should see That the university is treat
ed as literally as is consistent with an
economic administration of the states
affairs. Among the many pressing
needs of the university is new me-
chanical art hall, new dormitory ad-
dition, additional land for the campus,
and, in order to prevent the university
from being hampered, large sums are
necessary 70 meet the expenses. The
legislature would be far from prodigal
should it appropriate $4,000 for these
purposes. However, We ask the re-
spectful consideration OF the legisla-
ture to whatever sum the able presi-
dent of the university. DR.. Sledd. may
consider necessary. We feel sure that
he will not ask for more than Is abso-
lutely necessary In order to carry out
the plans for the upbuildiDg of the
university.Iake City Citizen-Re-

Men and Measures
Discussed,
Tallahassee Special in TImes-Union.


There was something doing in Tai
lanassee last night The Pensacola
excursion crowd had returned in the
afternoon, full OF glories of the bay
and the warships- And TO say that
some of them were likewise full Of
dust and fatigue would not be putting
ii too strongly. Miss Jefferson Bell,
the clever and resourceful newspaper
woman. was one of the bunch, how
ever, who seemed to find the trip an
inspiration. rather than a trial and a
tribulation, and something bright and
readable in the way of her Escamb:a
county experiences may now be ex-
pected from the lively pen of this pop
ular writer.
Speaker Gilchrist also made the
trip He had with him his mother
and sister, and Is evidently deeply inc
pressed by VIVA. he saw over in the
Deep Water City of the Gulf. One
thing is to be especially remarked in
connection vita this Pensacola trip,
and that is, that everybody who went
over seems 20 be deeply impressed
with the cordial reception extended
the crowd at the hands of the most
nospitable people in this or any other
state. bar none. 1t is only TO be re-
GREETED that the excursionists could
not have remained long enough to
have made the acquaintance of those
delectable and mysterious dishes 50
deity concocted by Frank Maura, d
local celebrity whose reputation for
chowder, chicken gumbo and SO on
wakes with advancing years.
Talking of Speaker Gilchrist, It
should be mentioned that he entertain
ed number of friends at card party
in the parlors of the Leon hotel last
night, in honor of his mother and sis
ter, who have been over from theiI
pleasant Gadsden county home to pay
| him a visit.

State Life Insurance.

Governor Broward's famous sugges-
tion in his message to the legislature,
that the state go into the life insG--
ance business, was bold and brilliant,
but We hazard the opinion that the
solons will let it severely alone for
the reason that it is too bold and too
brilliant The proposition is of an
epocnal character, and this legislature
is not in the epoch-making business.
Some of these days when government
ownership of everything arrives, the
life insurance business will be includ-
ed along with the rest, but that period
is in the dim, Utopian future.-Live

Laud Brown. the enterprising Tampa
Bay Hotel man, who was expected here
this week, unfortunately failed 10 ma
terialize, being detained at home by
an unfortunate spell of sickness"
He is, however, well represented here,
and the experts seem TO tnink.that the
prospect of securing the $4,000 appro-
priation for the Tampa State Fair
were never better.
Mr.. Crane has succeeded in getting
through the senate his bill validating
the $4,000 bono issue made by the
city OF Tampa last winter for the
purpose of purchasing the beautiful
Tampa Bay Hotel property The bill
has now been certified to the house,
where it will doubtless Supplant Mr..
Wills bill covering the same ground.
There is one thing to be said Of these
Tampa people, at all events. They
generally know what they want ard
are not at all afraid TO ask for il. Aud
they generally pull tosether-aence
the strength of that pull of theirs
of which so much is sometimes heard
from quarters where dissension rules
fand rivalries toe often prevail
The fact that up to yesterday not a
solitary bill nad been signed by the
president Of the senate is spoken Of as
an unprecedented condition of affairs
by old timers. II shows how little has
really been accomplished here, at all
events. But perhaps 1t Is just as we'll.
