FOR A GREATER NAVY.

The House OF Representatives has
passed the naval appropriation bill
calling for two immense battleships
of the Dreadnaught class and it is
reasonably sure that the Senate will
concur. The bill has met with bitter
opposition from nearly all sides and
is 4 signal victory for the friends of
n greater navy. Whilo these two
great fighting. machines will add
strength to the navy, the sea arm of
tho fighting forces of the country
will not practically be enlarged, as it
bis the country's lot to possess a
number Of vessels of the obsolete
typo which will have TO go to the
scrap heap when the modern battle
ships are placed In commission.
Newport News has a most decided
interest In the construction OF these
two mammoth battleships. It is quite

building Company will endeavor to Sc
cure the work on one of these vessels

cured by the local concern 1t will
mean an almost unlimited benefit to
the city. There is no question but
that any bid that may be submitted
by the Newport News company will
receive serious consideration at the
hands of the Navy Department as
the record of the yard Is as high as
any In the country. Time and again
1t has been proved that no better

The one hundredth anniversary of

Longfellow will occur on the 9th of
this month and 1t is pleasing to note
that in many parts of the country
that the event is to he fittingly cele-
brated. Perhaps today Longfellow
stands first as the favorite of Amer
can poets and he is one of the very
fcw writer's of verse that this country
has produced whose works are In
greater demand than when he was
shrines. He wrote: 81 Stood on the
Bridge Mt Midnight" and people stu
diously doing Boston go to look at

Steam cars certainly are holding

tend that the air-cooled car is losing
ground, but this seems premature
when a car of this type has crossed the

are butting into the industry to build
