What Lamar Stands For.

The campaign for the office of L. s..
Senator begins TO wax warm. From
now til the decision by the voter,
possibly at the second primary, it
will be carried on with vIgor that
will remind the voters of some of the
old time senatorial conflicts.
Mr. Lamar is stating to the people
at various points throughout the State
what he stands for, and incidently
what he has stood for in the past.
And in the latter matter he has a
record that any official may beproud
of. 1t has not been won, either, by
siding with any party clique, wealthy
corporation, or locality, but through
being a peoples man. He has fought
their battles in the offices he has been
elected to, never amassing wealth
thereby, but simply eking out live
lihOOd.
UnquestiOnably in the discharge of
his duty he has been placed where he
might, through neglecting the inter
ests of the common people, have
secured such sums as would have
made him wealthy. But Mr. Lamar is
not that kind of man.
He has always stood for and does
now, doing his duty to the State of
Florida; aiding its citizens in all le-
gitimate ways; recognizing the fact
that the people are the creators of
the public corporations of the State,
and that they are accountable to the
power that created them; is in favor
of good roads; of the improvement of
our harbOrs and waterways; and more
than all has had such experience in
the halls of congress as will place him
far ahead of any of his competitors
SO far as the knowledge is concerned
as to how to secure what he goes
after. Mr. Lamar should receive every
vote in Washington county.

The Maritime Register of recent

The Maritime Register of recent
date contained the following:
The casualties on sea-going barges
involving large loss of life calls for
government regulation of these yes
sells. The bill introduced by Senator
Frye and Representative Greene is
designed to meet this need of official
supervision of them. 1t provides in
brief that the hulls of sea-gOing
barges of over one hundred tons shall
be inspected annually and that each
barge shall be equipped with at least
one life boat, one anchor and one life
preserver for each person on the
boat. 1t also empowers the secretary
on commerce and labor to regulate
the length of such tOWs on coast
waters where they are a menace to
incoming and outgoing ocean steam
ships and sailing vessels. The sta
tistics compiled by the con missioner
of navigation in relation to this sub
ject shows very alarming increase
in the loss of life resulting from cas-
ualties to sea-going barges. The
crews of these vessels are subjected
TO continual danger yet little, if any,
means are provided for their safety.
In this respect the regulation of the
length of tOws of barges is very i'm
pOrtant. 1t is time that this matter
was taken in hand. The present un-
necessarily long tOWs, when in
crowded harbors, causing much OBJ
struction to shipping and increasing
the liabilities to accidents is a nui-
sance that should be abated The
owners of sea-going barges are at
present a law unto themselves. show
ing but little regard for the safety
of the crews of their vessels. The
government inspection of sea-gOing
barges as provided for in the bill
before congress will tend to do away
with this evil and should be enacted
into law without unnecessary delay.

Railroad Cross Ties.

The statements in this report are
based on the number of ties bought
rather than on the number actually
used. For all practical purposes.
however, the two are identical. be-
cause the purchases in twelve months
are an accurate index of consumption
for a corresponding period.
The purchases of crOss-ties by
steam and street railroads of the
United States during the year 1906
amounted to 1O2, S34 ,O42, valued at
SIS, $40, 124, an average of AZ cents per
tie. This value represents the cost to
the purchaser at the point of pur-
chase. In many, perhaps most, cases
this point of purchase is the point of
production, near the roads right of
way; but in others, and this is par
ticularly true of sawed pine ties, long
shipments are involved and the point
of purchase is a local distributing
market, distant from the source of
supply. The average value of A.
cents, therefore, probably represents
a higher rate than that received by
Panama City pilot., 1908-04-23

the producer. The steam railroads
purchased 93,477 ,625 ties, or about
nine-tenths of the whole number.
Street railways as d rue use 4 SINAI
Ter, lighter tie than that required by
steam roads, so their material is less
difficult to obtain.
Oak, the chief wood used for ties,
furnishes more than IA per cent,
nearly Onehalf of the whole number,
while the southern pines, which rank
second, contribute about One-siXth.
Douglas fir and cedar, the next two
with approximately equal quantities,
supply less than One-ffteenth apiece.
Chestnut, cypress, western pine, tam
arack, hemlOck and redwood are all
of importance, but no one of them fur
nishes more than a small proportion.
Oak and southern pine stand high
est in both total and average value; ;
the average value of each is 81 cents.
Chestnut ranks next, followed by ce-
dar. HemlOck at % cents is the
cheapest tie reported.
More than three fOurths of all ties
are heWed; and with every wood from
which ties are made, except Douglas
fir and wertern pine, the number of
hewed ties is greater than the num-
Der sawed. About ten times as many
Douglas fir ties are sawed as are heW-
ed. OF the oak ties little over one
sixth and of the southern pine ties
less than One-third are sawed. In
general, when lumber has a relatively
low value, the proportion of sawed
ties increases, because the market
for ties is always active, while that
for lumber is frequently sluggish.
All western species are affected by
this condition, for stumpage is album
dant and its value relatively low.
About One-third of the ties used by
street railroads are sawed, but not
quite One-fOuth o those used by
steam roads. The greater proportion
of sawed ties used by street lines is
probably due to the fact that much
of the trackage within city limits is
on paved streets, where sawed ties
are more satisfactory on account of
their regular shape.
The average price of the sawed tie
is, as a rule higher than that of the
hewed one, despite the fact that the
hewed tie is more durable. This
peculiar condition of an inferior COM
modify bringing a higher price is
brought about by the difference in
market conditions Sawed ties,
though admittedly less durable, rep
resent potential value equivalent to
the amount of lumber into which they
could be cut. Hewed ties, on the
other hand, compete only with posts
or fuel wood, both of which are of
lower value.-Railway Journal.

The State Troops.

Through all the laundering and
childish actions of the authorities in
connection with the strike at Pensa-
cola there is one ray of light; that
comes from the manner in which the
several company's of State troops
responded to the call for duty, and
the dignified manner in which they
have performed the same. They have
demonstrated that the State has an
efficient and we'll disciplined body of
Panama City pilot., 1908-04-23

citizen 5oldiery of which it can we'll
be proud. They were called to Pen
sacOla to protect life and property,
regardless of ownership or citizen
ship, and they have done it without
murmur, or rushing into print. The
PILOT wishes it were possible to say
as much of their Commander in Chief,
Gov BroWard.

Ineurable.

The Aldrich bill as it reached the
House committee on banking and cur
rency is said to be full of defects of
one kind and another, and it is stated
that the committee may give some
time to putting it in better shape,
and perhaps try to make it the basis
of practical legislation. But the chief
defect of the Aldrich bill is funda-
mental; it is an organic disease that
lis incurable. The only thing to do
with the defective thing, in the in
terest of sound currency and the pub
lie welfare, is to kill it and give it
decent burial. Whatever the House
committee may present for action
after the hearings it is to give, be-
ginning to-day, should be based upon
sound principle and should be at
least a start in the right direction. 1t
faced that way in reporting the Fow-
Ter bill, and it would stultify itself
now by accepting the Aldrich bill as
the basis of any tinkering. The two
are directly antagonistic in their es-
sential principles, and nobody can
favor both if he has any intelligent
conviction on the subject at all.
Ostensibly it is intended to sup
plement the present bank circulation
with temporary additions to tide over
emergencies and avert panics or mi
tigate their effect, but its real pur-
pose is to prepare the way for per-
petuating the bond security system
by expanding its basis over all man
ner of bonds. 1t is intended to hold
possession of the ground and tie up
bank capital and bank circulation
with the market for variety of Sc
curities for the benefit of the issuers
and for the profit of dealers in them
1t is consciously or uncOnsciOusly, a
most iniquitOus scheme, and the as
tute men chiefly engaged in contriv-
ing it are likely to know what they
are about.
There is no occasion for an emer-
gency makeshift just now, and if
there were, that devised by Mr. Aid
rich would be the worst possible. X
X Nobody should be deceived
by the plea that the Aldrich bill is a
temporary measure providing against
emergencies pending a fuller con
sideratiOn of a reform of the cur
rency. 1t is meant to be the first step
in the coming change, forestalling
any effort to effect it in the direction
of a true bank currency, which would
facilitate the commercial operations
of the country, but would not be
specially subservient to the ends of
promoters and spectators by tving
up the volume of currency with the
securities in which they deal. Let
this Aldrich scheme once occupy the
ground and it cannot be dislOdged
until after years OfeXperience its evil
consequences have been demon
st'ated. Now is the time to thwart
the first step in this scheme and to
take the first step in the right direc-
ton. If the latter cannot be accom-
plished at this session, the way for it
should at least be left open, and the
Aldrich bill is intended to close it and
block the path TO real reform Of the
currency, No friend of that reform
should consent to admitting this
wooden horse into the citadel under
any pretense. New York Journal of
