Why Four More eattIeships Now7

The sixteen battleships which will sail from Hompton Roads in a few days for Pacific waters have all been completed withing ten years, and all of them carry 12-inch or 13-inch guns Some of them, the Connecticut, Geor- gia, Kansas. Louisiana, New Jersey Vermont and Virginia, are recent ad- ditions to the navy, and except vessels of the Dreadnaught type they are among the most powerful warships afloat. No nation but England has such a powerful homogeneous fleet of battleships. Japan at the present time has nine modern vessels of the first class in commission, including the Satshma, of 192O0 tons The others are: Shikishima, 15.0O0 tons; Asahi 15.O00 tons; Mikasa, 15,O0O tons; Iwani. (OreD 13.500 tons; Hizen, (Ketvizan) 13.0O0 tons; Seiwo. (Pobieda) 13,0OO tons; Katori. 16,OO0 tons; Kashima, 16,000 tons. In gun power this group is greatly inferior to the Atlantic fleet. which will soc: change it's name to the Pacific fleet.
 In taking stock of our sea power it must not be forgotten that we have seven other great battleships building. the Mississippi. Idaho, New Hamp- shire, South Carolina, Michigan. Della ware and North Dakota, and that the last congress authorized a Dread nought. The Mississippi. Idaho and New Hampshire are almost completed. and the consNuction of the South Carolina and Michigan is well in hand. A year ago the president was so well satisfied with the condition of the naval establishment that he recom- mended the addition of one modern ship a year. His opinion of our sea power is now that it is obsolete. He now says Gin his message):
 Tn my judgment we should this year provide for four battleships." Nothing but -Dreadnoughts will. of course, satisfy him. Accordingly an extra large appropriation is wanted

spruce used or sold for a Christmas tree. While the cutting now
 being done for paper pulp is to large
 extent wastefullly conducted, without due regard for the future crop or the
 economic value Of the land after the
 removal of the present stand. the Christmas trees are, 1 believe. in large proportion cut of land which is actu- ally raised in economic value by their removal. Good marketable Christmas trees cannot be cut in the dense woods. except .n so far as the otherwise near ly useless tops of large trees are used for this purpose. They must Ordinari- ly be got from localities where they have grown up scatteringly in open land. so as not to have lost the needles from their side branches by shading each other. The- are obtained thus in vast quantities from the pastures in Maine and other northern states. where the interminable springing up of fir and spruce seedlings. wind sown from the neighbOring woods. has to be fought b. the farmers with equally interminable weeding out. The farm CTS want to get rid of the intruders. and if they can get little money for them, so much the better"

 4 GREAT OPENING FOR LABOR It is likely that the laying of pipe for the Phoenix water works under the contract awarded to W. A. Rees & Co. of Fayetteville. Ark, on Friday night will be begun within the next two weeks. It was originally intended by the representative of the successful bidder to have the trenches opened with a ditching machine but he decided yesterday that it would not be advis able to wait for the machine which could not be secured within less than two months. That would bring the work along into and through the heat of the summer. It was therefore stated yesterday that he had decided to em- ploy local labor to begin work at once. While he has made no statement as to the number of men to be employed. other bidders before the awarding Of the contract said that if the contract should be awarded to them they would give work to from 15O to POO men.

 BOARD OF EDUCATlON-There was a meeting of the board of educa- tion yesterday at which little beside routine matters were attended to. The chief incident that was likely to be of interest at yesterdays meeting was the further consideration of the case of Prof Ruthrauff of Tucson. with which those interested are already familiar. As two members of the board were not present il was not desirable to take any action and the matter remains as unfinished business.

for the navy. no less a sum than S1l0.- 4S3,077. The president cites the failure of The Hague conference to limit armamepts as a reason why We should add at once and liberally to our battle ship fleet. In Washington they call the the army and navy estimates the
 war scare budget" and in a Wash ington dispatch to the Baltimore Sun appears this remarkable statement:
 The presidents message is found to have deeper significance than at first reading. when taken in connection with the enormously increased esti- mates for the army and navy. The idea is presented by administration of hcials that in the preparation of these estimates the government found itself confronted with possibilities of conflict with strongly intrenched nation"
 There need be no beating about the bush; the strongly intrenched nation which administration officials have in mind is Japan. But in modern battle ships in commission We have already superior reserve of strength. Congress must consider the recommendation of four new modern battleships for this year." which should cost s25 5.0O0. 900 in round numbers; but what shall be the basis of necessity. or the exigency. to justify. the appropriation? Shall we add four great ships to the fleet be- cause The Hagie conference failed to agree upon a limitation of armaments. or shall it be because the appropria- tions wanted are q war scare bud get? If the latter why should we be scared?

 RANDOLPH IN CONSULTATION In speaking of the proposed Florence bridge over the Gila river. Governor kibbey stated yesterday that Colonel Epes Randolph, president of the South ern Pacific lines il the southwest, was voluntarily giving his services as an engineering expert in conference with the territorial officials and others. Colonel Randolph as many Arizonians are aware is a civil and constructing engineer by profession having achieved a great deal of success in that line of effort before becoming affiliated in a fnanagerial capacity with railroad work. MT. Randolph has many monu- ments of his skill throughout the coun- try. one of the most notable being a railroad bridge across the Ohio river from northern Kentucky, that has been in use for many years.

nessee for president and Silas Wright
of New York for vice president but
Wright refused to accept the nominal
ton. George NJ. Dallas of Pennsylva-
MIA was placed on the ticket in his
stead. Wright's refusal was because
of pique at the defeat of Van Buren,,
who tried to break down the two
thirds rule and secure denomination
for himself. Polk was the first dark
horse" nominee in our history. He had
not been mentioned for the presidential
nomination prior to the convention.
Lewis Cass of Michigan was nomi-
mated for president at the 1913 conven-
ton, with William o. Butler of Ken
lucky as the vice presidential candi-
date. The convention met May ..
The convention of 1852, which OPEN
ed June 1, was battle royal. and in
the end another dark horse. Franklin
Pierce of New Hampshire, was named
for president. The fight was between
Cass, nominated and defeated four
years before, and James Buchanan of
Pennsylvania. Finally Pierce was
voted for on the thirty ballot by
the Virginia delegation, which persist
ed in voting for the New Englander
until on the forty ninth ballot nearly
all the other delegates swung over and
nominated him. William r. King of
Alabama was named on the second
ballot for vice president.
In 1856 the Democracy finally broke
away from Baltimore and met in Gin
cinnati on June .. During all of Presi-
dent Pierce's administration James
Buchanan had been absent from the
country as minister to England and
thus had escaped the fierce conflict on
the slavery problem and the incidental
anarchy in Kansas. Buchanan, Doug
las and Cass were candidates before

the convention. Pierce sought a re-
vote, but his attitude in having favored
the repeal of the Missouri compromise
rendered him a weaker candidate than
Buchanan, whose absence had been
his political salvation. Buchanan re-
ceived the nomination, with John c..
Breckenridge of Kentucky as the vice
presidential candidate. The platform
the course of the Pierce administration
in repeating the Missouri compromise
and thus giving slavery a chance to
intrench itself in the new territories
north of the southern line of Missouri.
The convention of 1860 met at
Charleston, S. c., April 3D. This was
the fiercest Democratic convention ever
held, slavery extension being the bone
of contention. Stephen A. Douglas was
by far the strongest presidential prob
ability. The convention voted fifty
seven ballots without casting the nec-
essary two-thirds vote for one man.
Finally the convention adjourned to
meet in Baltimore June IS. Before
adjournment several southern states
withdrew, being opposed to the Doug
las platform. The seeding delegates
held convention in Charleston, adopt
ed a platform for which they had con-
tended in the regular convention, then
adjourned TO meet in Richmond the
first Monday in June. On this date
the seeding delegates met and again
adjourned to the Dist of June. Mean
while on the 18th the regulars" met
in Baltimore and nominated Douglas
for president and Benjamin Fitzpat-
rick of Alabama for vice president.
Fitzpatrick declined, and the national
committee named Herschel V. Johnson
in his place. Some of the regulars
bolted the Baltimore convention and
nominated for president John C. Brock
inridge of Kentucky and for vice pres
ident Joseph Lane of Oregon. The
"seceders" sitting in Richmond accept
ed this ticket.
At Chicago in 1864 the Democratic
convention, which met Aug. %, was

national only as 1t related to the north
ern states. The eleven southern states
then in the Confederacy, of course,
were not represented General George
Il. Mcclellan was named for the pres
idency on the first ballot and George
II. Pendleton of Ohio for the vice
presidency on the second ballot. Inc
platform pronounced the war failure.
The only time the city of New York
ever entertained the national conven-
ton was in 1868, when the body met
there on the Fourth of July and NOM
mated for president Horatio Seymour,
governor of New York, and for vice
president Frank 2. Blair of Missouri.
In 1872 the Democracy as then con-
stituted returned to the first love of
the party, Baltimore, meeting in con-
vention July 0, and nopinated for the
first and second offices in the land two
Republicans, Horace Greeley of New
York and b. Gratz Brown of Missouri.
This anomalous situation was brought
about by a prior convention of Lib
eral Republicans" ut Cincinnati, led by
SdEl SCuuIL, W NfiSSiNy
and Brown. The only hope of defeat
ing President Grant for reelection was
in combination of the Democrats and
the Liberal Republicans, who had de-
clared violently against the Grant adj
ministration. The Baltimore conven-
ton simply swallowed the Cincinnati
convention product-ticket, platform
and ALL Greeley and Brown were de-
feated overwhelmingly in November.
st. Louis was the Democratic conven-
ton city in 1876, June IS being the
opening date. Samuel j. Tilden of New
York and Thomas A. Hendricks of
Indiana were named for president and
vice president Tilden, who was gov
ernor of New York, was master poll
tician and had planned his campaign
with marvellous ability. Governor Hen.
bricks Of Indiana was his chief oppo-
nent. Hendricks accepted the second
place on the ticket with some eluc-
lance. Tilden was elected in Novem.
Der, according to the best knowledge
and belief of all Democrats and many
Republicans, but a special commission
created to decide electoral contests
voted his opponent, Rutherford B
Hayes of Ohio, into the presidential
chair The electoral commission was
made up of eight Republicans and
seven Democrats. The final vote OF
the matters in contest was eight Re
publicans for Hayes and seven Demo
Gratis for Tilden
In 1880 the Democrats met June ..
in Cincinnati. Tilden declined re
nomination. General Winfield S Han
cock of Pennsylvania was named fol
