Report on
WaterWorks System.

The Journal has finally obtained the
much talked of report on the water
works system and presents it for the
information of the public in these col
umns today.
The report is very voluminous and
contains much matter which is not
really pertinent to the information
which the public desires and certain
immaterial features are therefore
omitted in the publication. As publish
ed, however, it contains everything
necessary to a complete understand
ing of the conditions, and the value
Of the system as the latter was turn
ed over to the city.
There was never any good reason
for not making this report public as
soon as the city took over the water
works system. 1t was paid for by the
public money and it was the property
of the public. Hereafter should any
similar occasion arise in which an ex-
hibitiol of public records is requested
by any citizen. The Journal trusts that
no public servant who is in authority
will assume to deny that request

mand public confidence is to take the

The Case of Col. Stewart
NEW ORLEANS PICAYUNE-

Not in long time has the Army fur
nished a more remarkable exhibition
than that provided in the person of
Colonel Stewart of the Artillery Corps,
who, because of alleged incompatible
ties of temperament, has been vir-
tuaIly exiled to an isolated post in the
Arizona desert. The case would be
laughable were it not for the fact that
the victim must suffer keeniy the iso-
lation in which he is compelled to live
It apears that, in the opinion of the
War Department, Colonel Stewart is
untitled by temperament To get along
agreeably with other officers and
men. AS one of the senior Colonies of
the Artillery Corps he should properly
be placed in command of one of the

Mr.. Taft and
His Kansas Constituents.

Is is announced that Mr.. Taft will
include Kansas in his speaking itin-
erary. In the event that he does. a
good deal of curiosity will center
about his treatment of the subject of
guaranteed haRk deposits. Mr.. Taft
opposes this policy His Kansas con-
stituents favor it and have just over
whelmiRgly defeated a candidate for
United States senator who opposed
it. In his speech of acceptance, Mr.
Taft denounced the guaranty of
bank deposits in suc1 terms that the
republican campaign text book call at
tention to his position as follows:
No feature Of the democratic plat
form met more vigorous and scath-
ing denunc.ation at the hands OF Mr..
Taft in his speech of acceptance than

elared, IL adopted exactly as the plat
form suggests, would bring the whole

Doctrines of Democracy

"scathins denunciation," he appears in
a signed interview in favor of the
guaranty plan which Mr. Taft de-
nounces in which he says:
"One state has already adopted this
policy and the statute providing for
it has just been sustained by the SUI
pTeme court of that state. The legiS-
lature of another state rejected it by
the narrow margin of only two votes
in the upper house Many eminent
financiers have Endorsed the plan, in
Guiding such gentlemen as the Hon
Charles y. Fowler, chairman of the
house committee on banking and cur
reney; the Hon. Charles G. Dawes, ex-
comptroller of the currency; the Hon.
A. B. Nettleton, ex-treaSurer of the
United States, and the Hon. Lyman J.
Gage, ex-secretary of the treasury.
Many able and successful merchants
like Alexander H. Revell and Tom
Murray of Chicago, also have Endorsed
it. One of the great political parties
has incorporated the proposition in
its platform. Both parties have done
this in Kansas.
THE opinion recently expressed by
AttorneI General Bonaparte that ma
tional banks can not participate in
InlS guarantee Sc0emo OnOer state
law, forces the issue into national
prominence. The adoption of the plan
by Oklahoma is rapidly compelling
national banks to denationalize and il
corporate under the state law.
The several hundred national
banks in Kansas will confront the
same dilemma next year, for the
Legislature which convenes il January,
undoubtedly will enact this law, both
parties having pledged themselves to
do ii. Other states doubtless will fol
low the example, but if they should
not these two states alone will be
sufficient to force the question upon
the attention of congress.
IF congress should adopt this
policy for the national banks, then all
the states would be compelled to
adopt il or else the state banks
would be in the same predicament that
the national banks now are in Okla
homa, and soon will be in Kansas
This is strong argument indeed, and
coming from republican source, we
are curious to learn now Mr.. Taft
will answer il when he confronts the

form calls for the guaranty plan and

il certain that the Colonel will never
reach higher rank than he now en-
joys
Having practically failed to drive
the Colonel to ask for retirement by
exiting him, the War Department de-
cided upon another tack. Colonel
Stewart was ordered to take the riding
test which is imposed annually on all
field officers. The Colonel promptly
appeared at the place designated and
was examined by the Army surgeons
physically able to stand the test. The
surgeons found the Colonel suffering
with cardiac hypertrophy, dilation
and mitral inSUflciency,' whatever
that may mean although the doughty
Colonel declared that he felt as well
as ever he did in his life. and was
as hard as nails; in fact. as fit to ride
a hundred miles, or walk that dis
lance as nedd be. It Is probable, how
ever, that the veteran officer will now
be ordered before retiring board for
examination for retirement, but ii is
just possible that the Retiring Board
will not agree with the surgeons who
passed on the ColOnel's ability to take
the riding test.
The whole performance IS rather I'M
dignif1ed and reflects but little credit
on the military service.

FAIR PRICES,
FAIR PRICES.
This is the Desire of the
Naval Stores Marketing
Company.
Gainesville, Fla

The following is an extract from
resolutions adopted by the Jackson
vile Board of Trade at the meeting
of naval stores operators and bust
ness men TO launch the Naval Stores
Marketing Co.
Fair prices mean fair profit and
the profit of this business is all that
remains to the State after the de
stTuCtion of its timber The atten-
ton of the United States has recently
been foTcibly directed TO the pTeser-
walton of its natural resources The
standing timber is the principal ma
tuTal wealth of Florida and the Gulf
States But it is not less important
that the timber, products OF
Florida snail bring fair price when
the timber Is consumed, than that the
standing timber shall be preserved
from unnecessary waste The cut
ting of timber without profit is the
most disastrous kind of waste. and il
leaves nothing behind to represent
its value The prevailing prices are
so low as no longer TO make it profitable
for the mill men To tUrpentinc their
timber before logging Under these
circumstances. demonstration is not
only impossible, but the full value
of the existing timber is being ire
tTievabiy lost The naval stores prod
uct- of pine trees exceed One-third
of the entire value of the standing
timber. This element of value will be
totally lost if prices continue so low
as to make it Improbable to turpen-
tine timber before logging it. The
millions of acres of round timber in
the Southern States cannot be made
to yield the wealth which they con-
tain if the present manipulated and
aTtifCially low prices of naval stores
shall continue
Product Arbitrarily Diverted.
The control Of the naval stores
markets having passed beyond the eff
feet of the law of supply and demand,
the result is clearly shown in the

Ben II. Thomas
With the Evening News.

The following from The Journals
evening contemporary of yesterday is
self-explanatory:
The Evening News is pleased to an
nouace that, commencing October D,
MIR. Ben H. Thomas will assume the
duties of managing editor of the
Evening News, with entire charge of
the local and Geographic news ser
vice. Mt. Thomas is newspaper
man of wide experience and has made
a reputation for careful, conscientious
work in his chosen field. In the past
he has been connected with some OF
the largest newspapers in the country,
his last position being that of manag
ing editor of The Pensacola Journal.
a position which he held for a number
OF years.
When MIR. Thomas resigned his po-
sition with The Pensacola Journal it
was his intention TO retire permanent
ly from the journalistic field, but the
fever" caught him again, and he has
decided to re-enter the aIluring and
fascinating profession in which he has
made so decided a success.
The Evening News is fortunate IN
being able to secure the services OF
one so proficient and conscientious in
his work
The journal hastens TO congratulate
its contemporary upon securing Mr..
Thomas. There is not a better news
paper man in Florida than Ben
Thomas and mighty few better any
where. When he gets hold of his
Faber and settles down TO business we
shall expect the columns of our even
ing neighbor to fairly scintillate.

BY AssocIated Pres.

New York, Sept 25.-The existence
Of a university trust III this part of
the country, managed perhaps unwit-
tingly along the lines of commercial
monopoIies, was charged by ChanceI-
lor Henry McCracken, of New York
University, in a speech delivered at
the opening of the School of Com
merce. Accounts and Finance in the
university building, Washington
square east. Dr. McCracken first
asked.
How does il happen that every
New York university has to depend
so largely on the sacrifices of profess
sors and the collection of small sub
sCTiptiOnS for its current support"
And he answered the question in
part as follows:
The anomaly arises from the adOp-
ton and PRONUNCIATION, possibly IN
sciOusly, by our older and richer
neighbors in the university business,
