should not be out upon the roads as

main batteries of battleships faster
than the shipyards of. the country
can constr uct the bulls. Great gun
making is an exact science, and if
the Washington gun plant should be
destroyed, there is moi other factory
in the country that could take up
the work and carry it out without
years of preparation and practice.
The present hurry over the work is
not due to any warlike emergency,
but to the fact that there are more
battleships and fist class cruisers
than usual being constructed in all
the ship yards, both government and
private, and the Washington plant
has to speed up little to keep pace
with the demand for main battery
guns. The day of the thirteen-inch
gun in the navy is past. That type
disappeared when the "New York
and the massachusetts" were
equipred. But there is call now
for twelve inch guns which consti-
tute the main armament of all first
class lattlesbips and cruisers.
There will be de zens of them re-
quired in the ships of the Connect
cut class now building and the mon
ster 20, 900 battIeships. now author
lied by Congress. So the Navy
Yard is waking up. There have
large number of skilled mechanics
recently put to work, and more are
going on in the form of night
shift. Soon the gun plant will be
running night and day, the first
time this has been so since the days
of the Spanish War 1t is not ex-
actly an emergency call. lut it will
show what the government can do
with the facilities at its command in
turning out high class gun work in
short time.

Washingt ton Letter.

(From our regular correspondent
Washington, D. c., Apr. 25, 1907.
Of course the bulk of attention is
now centered on Secretary Taft's
trip to Ohio and the outcome of the
contest there which will have such
an important bearing on the next
contest for the presidency. There
have been some things written in
malice. and a great many in ignor-
ance, about the Ohio contest.
Secretary Taft is going to Ohio
and will make contest with Sena-
tor Foraker for the convention del
egation. He will have the moral
support of the President because he
stands for the policies the President
stands for. He is considered by
the President to be q safe, honest
man, who, if he goes into the White
House, will not go there wearing a
corporation collar of any sort But
the Ohio fight, while it is important,
is not an epoch making event. Sec
rotary Taft is in the race for the
presidential nomination, and a man
who starts in a race of that sort
goes in to win. At the same time
he is not on file with political ambi-
ton. The Chief Judgeship of the
Supreme Court would suit him a
good deal better than the White
House, and it is thing he could
have for the asking so long a
Roosevelt remains President As to
presidential support in his Ohio
campaign, he will have it as friend
of the President and rs man who
would suit the President as his sue
cessor in office. But the support of
President Roosevelt has never been
pledged to Secretary Taft more
than it has to any other good man,
and so the talk of the President hav-
ing withdrawn this support is nom
sense Further, if Secretary Taft
should be beaten in Ohio, it does
not necessarily end his race for the
nomination. 1t would be a serious
handicap in getting the other state
delegations, but some of these are
pledged to him already, so that
Ohio is not the first and last neces-
sity to make him factor before the
national convention. The Ohio con-
test will not be directed from the
White House and stubbornly oon-
tested as though it were last ditch
fight. In fact it is merely the first
skir1nish of the campaign, and so far
as President Roosevelt is taking
any part in it, he is taking a rather
more passive part than he usually
takes in thing he is interested in.
He is rather lie ting things drift
not for any lack of enthusiasm in
Tafts cause, but because he wants
to see just how general sentiment is
going to drift.
