Gives Reasons for Despatch
Of Fleet to the Pacific.

Until our pattle fleet is much larger
than at present it should never be split
into detachments so far apart that they
could not in event of emergency be
speedily united. Our coast line is on
the Pacific just as mucn as on the At
lantic. The interests of California,
Oregon and Washington are as en-
phatically the interests of the whole
union as those of Maine and New York.
of Louisiana and Texas. The battle
fleet should now and then be moved to
the Pacific. just as at other times il
should be kept in the Atlantic. When
the isthmian canal is built the transit
of the battle fleet from one ocean to
the other will be comparatively easy.
Until it is built I earnestly hope that
the battle fleet will be thus Shifted be-
tween the two oceans every year OF

ships has improved phenomenally dur
| ing the last five years. Until within
the last two or three years it was not
possible to train battle fleet in squad.

President Sees Need of
Largely Increased Navy.

The president asks for a continuous
increase in the navy, and asks present
congress for appropriations for four
new battleships. and says:
I'VE need always to remember that
| in time of war the navy is not to be
used to defend harbors and sea-coast
cities; we should perfect our system of
| coast fortifications. The only efficient
use for the navy is for offense. The
only way II which it can efficiently pro-
| tect our own coast against the possible
action of a foreign navy is by Destroy
| ing that foreign navy. For defense
| against a hostile fleet which actually
attacks them, the coast cities must de-
pend upon their forts, mines, torpedoes,
| submarines and torpedo boats and de"
| stroyers. All of these together are eff
ficient for defensive purposes, but they
in no way supply the place of thor
oughly efficient navy capable of acting
on the offensive; for parrying never yet
won fight. 1t can only be won by
| hard hitting. and an aggressive sea-go-
| ing navy alone can do this hard hitting
| of the offensive type. But the forts
| and the like are necessary so that the
| navy may be footloose. In time of war
| there is sure to be demand, under pres
sure of fright, for the ships to be scat
tered so as to defend all kind of ports
| Under penalty of terrible disaster, this
| demand must be refused. The ships
must be kept together, and their OBJ
| jective made the enemies fleet If
fortifications are sufficiently strong, no
modern navy will venture to attack
them, so long as the foe has in exist
ence hostile navy of anything like
the same size or efficiency. But unless
there exists such a navy then the forti-
fcations are powerless by themselves
to secure the victory. For of course
the mere deficiency means that any
resolute enemy can at his leisure COM
| bine all his forces upon one point with
| the certainty that he can take it.

Wants Improvement ia the
Ocean Mail Service.

Il call your especial attention to the un-
satisfactory condition of our foreign mail
service, which, because of the lack OF
American steamship lines. Is now largely
done through foreign lines, and which
particularly so far as South aud Central
America are concerned. is done in u man
ner which constitutes serious barrier
to the extensions of our commerce
The time has come, in my Judgment
to set to work seriously to make our
ocean mail service correspond more
closely with our recent commercial and
political development. A beginning was
made by the ocean mail act of March Z
1891, but even at that time the act was
known to he inadequate in various par-
tculars Since that time events have
moved rapidly in our history. We have
acquired Hawaii, the Philippines, and
lesser islands in the Pacific. We are
steadily prosecuting the great work of
uniting at the lsthmus the waters of the
Atlantic and the Pacific. To Il greater
extent than seemed probably even a
dozen years ago we may look to an
American future on the sea worthy of
the tradition of our past. AS the first
! step in that direction. and the step most
feasible n the present time. recommend
the extension of the ocean mail act of
1891. That act has stood for some years
free from SueceSSful criticism of its prin-
ciple and purpose II was based on theo.
ries of the obligations of a great mari.
time nation. undisputed in our own land
and followed by other nations since the
! beginning of steam navigation. Briefly
those theories are. that 1t is the duty of
first-class power 50 far as practicable
to carry its ocean mails under its own
flag, that the fI.vt ocean Steamships and
their crews. required for such mail serv-
/ Ice. are valuable auxiliaries to the sea
power of a nation. Furthermore, the
constructions OF SUCH steamships insures
the maintenance In an efficient condition

Greater elasticity In
Currency IS Urged.

y
The president quotes extensively from
his last message in dealing with the di-
rect subject of currency legislation, and
says:
II again urge on the congress the need
of immediate attention to this matter.
We need greater elasticity in our cur
rency: provided. of course, that we recog-
nize the even greater need of safe and
secure currency. There must always be
the most rigid examination by the ma
tional authorities. Provision should be
made for an emergency currency The
emergency issue should, of course, be
made with an effective guaranty, and up
on conditions carefully prescribed Ivy the
government. Such emergency issue must
be based on adequate securities approved
by the government. and must be issued
under a heavy tax. This would permit
currency being issued when the demand
for it was urgent, while securing it's re-
tiremept as the demand fell off. 1t is
worth investigating to determine whether
officers and directors of national banks
should ever be allowed to loan to them
selves. Trust companies should be sub
iect to the same supervision MS banks
legislation 10 this effect should be en-
acted for the District of Columbia and
the territories.
Yet we must also remember that even
the wisest legislation on the subject can
only accomplish certain amount No
legislation can by any possibility guar
antee the business community against the
results Of speculative folly any more than
it can guarantee an individual against the
results OF his extravagance When an in
dividual mortgages his house to buy an
automobile he invites disaster: and when

MRS.NELLIE MARKHAM

A nervous irritable woman, often on the verge of mysteries, is source of misery to everyone who comes under her influence, and unhappy and mis- erable herself.
 Such women not only drive hus- bands from home but are wholly unfit to govern children.
 The ills of women act like fire brand upon the nerves, consequently seven-tenths of the nervous prostra- ton, nervous despondency, h e "blues". sleeplessness, and nervous irritability of women arise from some organic derangement.
 Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness alternating with ex- treme irritability Do you suffer from pains in the abdominal region, backache, bearing down pains.nervous dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost continually cross and snappy? If so, your nerves are in a shattered con dition and you are threatened with nervous prostration.
 Proof is monumental that nothing in the world is better for nervous troubles of women than Lydia k. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs. Thousands and thousands of women can testify to this fact.
