TOO JEALOUS ADVOCATE.

In the agitation to improve the NOR
ais of Vallejo there has been strife be-
tween the town authorities and Forbes
H. Brown, a clerk at the navy yard,
who took a prominent part in the fight
against saloons and who went to Wash
ington to carry his fight and made
statements which are denied by the
Mayor. Early in May the Municipal
League, with which Brown was identi-
fed, commenced a campaign for high
license, which was not furthered by
the Board of Trustees. The Vallejo
license is only $50 year. On the re-
fusal of the Trustees to act Brown went
to Washington and personally inter
viewed Secretary Bonaparte. He is
said to have represented that Vallejo
had a population or but 5000 and had
$50 saloons.
This statement is contradicted by
Mayor Madigan, who states that there
are but ninety-two saloons in the town
and that the population is $4,000. Ad-
miral Lyon, when called upon, gave
Washington Information on the sub
ject
Correspondence was exchanged be-
tween Secretary Bonaparte and Mayor
Madigan and the former accepted the
figures given by the Mayor as official
But the department" said Bonaparte,
"still finds that the proportion of sa-
looms to inhabitants is alarmingly and
wholly unnecessarily large 1t amounts
to one saloon for less than each lao
inhabitants, a proportion which seems
to the department justified by no rea-
sonable consideration of public conve-
nience"
The San Francisco call., 1906-10-24
Madigan and His
Trustees Will Meet
Tonight to Act.

Secretary of the Navy QSarles j.
Bonaparte and Rear Admiral II. w.
Lyon, commandant of the Mare Island
navy yard, have won their fight for
improved moral conditions at Vallejo,
triumphing in a campaign to reduce
the number of saloons in the navy yard
town after making the threat that if
Vallejo was not obedient it would share
the fate which befell Bremerton,
Wash, which was sent into official
Coventry because the city officers did
not reform the place after the Navy
Department ordered the lid dropped.
Tonight there will be a meeting in
Vallejo of Mayor ]. ]. Madigan and the
Board of Trustees, when the matter of
the appeal of Admiral Lyon and Secre-
tary Bonaparte will be considered, and
the Mayor has promised the navaI Off
GERS and officials that drastic steps will
be taken to reduce the -lmber Of
drinking places in Vallejo.
The difference between the situations
at Vallejo and at Bremerton is nat
the California town is amenable to the
requests of the Department of the
Navy. Bremerton opposed the desire
of the Government that the number of
saloons be reduced and the immoral re-
sorts prohibited AS a consequence of
this stand the navy yard at that point
was practically discontinued Tor three
years. Then the town realized the
error of its ways and now that 1t has
assumed a more moral attitude the
Government is again ordering vessels
TO that place.
1t is predicted that by January l the
number of saloons at Vallejo will be
materially reduced There are now
ninety two places in the town where
liquor is sold. Secretary Bonaparte
advised that the number be reduced to
forty-siX, that persons convicted of
crime or notoriously bad or keepers
of brothels or gambling houses be not
permitted to sell liquor and that sa-
looms be closed on Sundays and holi-

WITH FLORIDA EDITORS.
A NEW MONEY CROP.

The peach crop Of Florida is this year
one of its most important items. The
state places the peach In the market
earlier than any other section, and
therefore gets the best prices. The crop
this wear has been unusually large and
excellent, and the returns have been
correspondingly gratifying. It is hoped
some competent authority will make .
careful and reliable estimate OF the
results of the peach culture for the sea.
son, SO that the public may be fully in.
formed AZ to the extent to which
this newly discovered resource may be
exploited commercially.
The Times is under the impression
that there is scarcely limit to what
may be done in the way Of marketing
peaches if they are grown with intelli-
gent care and can be shipped at reason.
able charges. There is no possibility of
competition in the earlier weeks Of the
season. and the whole United States is
our undisputed market. The peach has
come to join the strawberry in giving
rich income to Florida. For the first of
the season-in fact before there is any
season elsewhere-they are the twin
pebbles on the beach.-Tampa Times.
