of the social aspects of tuberculosis
among immgrants-of whom SO many
come here to your hospitable shores, and
fruitful results are expected from such q
discussion.
1.-The rural exodus and the urbaniZation
of the Italian immigrants In America is
the chief cause Of the prevalence of tuber-
culosis among them, and their proper
distribution in this country is fit SUBJ
ject for an international conference of the
kind that will take place in Rome in 1911.
Semi Centennial Celebration.
September 20, 1911, Rome will celebrate
her fiftieth anniversary as the capital city
of Italy, and the nation will COM
memorate, with unusual pomp and
sumptuous festivities, her advent among
the great powers of the world. which
dates from that year. Thus while nearly
5000 years old-as 1 said in my address
we shall be only fifty years young in 1911.
For a nation so young, heretofore di-
yided and dismembered by centuries of
foreign and internal wars. the modern
progress which every unbiased observer
cannot fail to notice in all branches Of
Italian industry, commerce, arts and lit
erature today is simply wonderful. And
the wonder grows into establishment
when you consider the enormous task
since the beginning laid before and solved
by the Italian government, first to ANAL
gamate and cement the separated prov
inces then to build railroads and schools,
establish postal and telegraph service,
and organize and maintain large army
and a still larger navy, to protect our
long coast line and be worthy to sit
among the great powers of the earth.
1T was indeed providential act or an
exceptional fortune that We had in that
critical formative period of our indie
pendence men like MazZini, Cavour. Vic
tor Emmanuel l and Garibaldi-men who
belong more to the heroic period of the
history of the world than to the present
time.
What the Delegates Will Find.
THE delegates of all nations will find
in Rome some achievements of their own
present or past civilization. Shelley and
Keats rest there near the shade of the
Coliseum; the echo of Goethe's and Plat
ems song is still filling the air around the
Forum; Hugo speaks there with the SOL
emn language of Fate, while Emerson
and Longefollow seem to have just de-
parted from that atmosphere pregnant of
inspiration.
Rome exerts powerful magnetism on
men Of culture, and the voice of The past
seems TO call back from behind her ma
jestic monuments. to the highest ideals.
THE heart and center of free thought
is there today-symbolized in the erection
of the monument to 0Ordano Bruno-just
as the center of the religious world was
there in the middle ages"

Pensacola gives cordial welcome to
,-.e cruiser Montgomery now in our
harbor by direction of the government
to give additional attraction to our
Mardi Gras celebration. We like to
see these sailors in the service of
Uncle Sam on our streets. They are
q fine set of men; they live in a
world Of their own out on the great
waters aboard the battleship, and
when they get ashore we are glad to
meet them and recognize in them the
defenders OF the flag all round the
globe. They belong to the same gang
now with Bob Evans out on the vast
Pacific, and the man who doesn't feel
the impulse of patriotism and the con-
seriousness of a common country in
their presence needs to be doctored
for provincialism. These sailors are
here in Pensacola for a good time,
which they we'll deserve, and our peo
pie will endeavor to see that they
are not disappointed The army and
navy forever. three cheers for the
red, white and blue!"

path kept as straight as possible. The
bloody violence of the crimes of Ro
ssrfo and this entire region has fallen
on many q defenseleSs seaman in the
past, and after seven years Of hard
effort the workers of these branches
have only just succeeded In becoming
a huffet between them and the visit
ing sailors. That the American jack
les left Buneos Ayres in good order is
recognized as a welcome result of this
long campaign. To the friendly of
fees of this, as well as the other
branches Of the American Seamen' s
Friend Society, the navy tars had been
commended, long before they sailed,
by old friends in the active branches
Of the organization at Brooklyn Navy
Yard and Newport News.
Five large Institutes of this organ
ization are on the lookout for the men
of the feet when they touch home soil
again at Seattle, Tacoma, Portland,
Astoria Or Port Townsend. There are
some forty-fve of these branches keep
ing watch over the sailor man all over
the world, the officers of the society
said today. That such close touch
could have been kept OF the Pacific
fleet in its continent girdling cruise is
regarded by them as a good test of
this worlds work.

PENSACOLA FLORIDA sATURDAY MORNING FEBRUARY
Give Us a Battleship
Named Florida.

Congressman Clark, of this stat
earning so many laurels here of late
| that it is a little difficult to keep up
with him. His latest piece of good
work is to address letter to the pres
ident asking that one Of the new bat
tleships which Will probably be soon
constructed by the government be
named Florida in honor of this
state. Mr. Clark calls the presidents
attention to the fact that every state
in the Union except Florida, Utah and
Oklahoma has been honored by having
a battleship named after it, and it is
clear justice that this state should
take precedence OF the other two new
sisters in such an issue.
Florida is old in the Union, known
all round the globe, and is unique in
its romantic and heroic history. At
present she is 1onored in the navy of
her country by having her name at
tached to an obsolete little old moni-
tor, so worthless that it is soon to be
used as target for big gun practice,
with a few sheep in its turret to test
the survival of the fittest in such an
ordeal. 1t is an ignominious destiny
for the monitor, and when she sinks
beneath the waves under the impact
of the heavy guns, that will be the
last of Florida in the nomenclature OF
the United States navy.
Our great and beautiful state de-
serves recognition along with the best,
and we feel sure that the president
will concede the justice of Mr.. Clarl1's
request and add to our feet. among
the new vessels. the battleship Flor
ida. The maritime merits of Pensa-
cola bay alone would justify such an
honor to our state.
Florida is a child of the ocean and
the gulf, and more than any other
state in the Union is she intimately
and inseparably associated with the
deep blue sea upon which the navy
rides.

left their writing rooms for homes in
every part of the country.
At Rio de Janeiro, Montevideo, Bue
nos Ayres, Rosario and Valparaiso,
where headquarters for sailors have
been maintained for years by this or
glaniZation, the navy tars have been
welcomed, entertained and piloted
pretty clear of the shoals that lie par
ticularly foul of the course of the for
eign sailor in those ports. Human hfe,
vice and liquor are valued chesply in
these teeming South American ports,
and it goes hard and often fatally
with the seafaring man If he gets into
the hands of the natives. Not even
his U. S. navy uniform has saved many
a jacky from bodily harm in remote
quarters of such cities, and today the
workers of the society throughout the
lower continent feel relieved and
gratiffed that the feet has finally stood
off toward its own shores once more
with every maniack aboard and alive.
At Rio JaneIro.
From Rio de Janeiro a report has
just arrived telling of the advent of
the Yankee sailors there. With other
local organizations the American Sea-
mems Friend Society's branch at this
port organized a constant entertain

formation bureau was equipped, to
which the sailors went on their arrival
to have their money honestly changed
and embark on excursions conducted
about the place for their benefit. Every
square foot of the rooms of this sta
ton of the society was packed each
hour of the stay of the battleSh1ps,
by the American crews, smoking, yarn
ing or reading and writing home let
tiers. Before the squadron weighed
anchor a large meeting of the men
was arranged by the society's workers.
Yellow fever has stunted the growth
of the seamen's local organization in
Brazil since it began the struggle to
help the sailors of the port twenty
five years ago; but, for all this handi-
cap, its workers feel today that they
have been able TO do a great deal In
giving a hand to this regiment Of their

Tom Watson's Theory
Of Money.

In these gold standard days it is
popular to sheer at Tom Watson as
the fatuous advocate of printing press
money with nothing but the faith of
the government back of it. In his
last Jeffersonian Magazine Tom re-
fnews his appeal for that kind of
money. He has a large clientele
among the masses of the people who
thoroughly believe in his theory, but
he gets no hearing at all among the
money kings. If you will read the
history of money as a medium of ex-
change you will be impressed with
the fact that it is a matter of evoln-
ton and that the gold standard is
very probably but a transient phase
OF that evolution, popular and perhaps
necessary for the time, but not es-
sentially stable and permanent.
II some OF us now living could come
back in another incarnation a century
OF so hence it is not improbable that
we might find the Tom Watson theory
OF money Cby no means original with
him) dominant in this and all other
countries.
Even now, some of the leading gold
standard advocates who are not bank
ers and are sincere students of the
question. have abandoned the conten-
ton OF the inherent value OF money.
With that concession made general,
Tom WILSON'S dream may easily be
realized and the government will be
our only bank of issue with it's own
stability as an ample guarantee good
all round the globe.

why the bond trustees cannot utilize
