WHY BEEF PRICES
HAVE INCREASED
GREAT SCARCITY OF CATTLE AT
PRESENT SAID TO BE THE
CAUSE.

Iioasekeepers in Brunswick as well
as elsewhere, are no doubt wonder
ing why the price for prime beef
has advanced so recently and those
who have not studied the cause are
probably blaming the butchers, but
this is unjust to the latter. for the but
.chers are not responsible at ali.
Some OF the packing houes have
displayed some figures and correspon-
dence from New York and Chicago
that clears the atmosphere compile
tely. From this it appears that with.
n the last two weeks the prices OF
beef and mutton have increased from
. To cents per pound on the who'll
carcass, and the big packing houses
don't write encouragingly about de
crease. In fact they are all confident
that the price will soar even higher
PEOPLE in Brunswicwk, however
should congratulate themselves that
they live here, for the price for
prime beef here is actually cheaper
that il is in New York, Boston and
Philadelphia.
Just at this time it is between sea
sons for the cattle owners, and there
is besides a great scarcity Of cattle
in the Chicago markets Cattle which
should have been kept back and fat
tened on good feed for April and May
consumption we're disposed Of in Jan.
uary This condition will continue
and prices will go higher yet it is
predicted before the range cattle
movement commences.

Publishing
A Newspaper.

There are few business enterprises
more precarious than that of publish
ing a daily newspaper. While the pub
lie is very familiar with the product
of the newspaper plant. ii has little
conception of the cost in money, en-
ergy. and brains required to turn out
that product; nor of the likelihood of
failure despite a liberal investment of
all these. Like a costly steamship, a
newspaper must have a careful and
experienced commander and even then
il may go 10 destruction by some
error of judgment.
The list of newspaper wrecks in the
United States is a long one and is
constantly being heightened, but still
there are plenty of people who are
anxious to go into the business They
think that all that is necessary is to
get a good up-to-date plant, with a
smart fellow as editor, and success
is assured

KEHOE FOR CONGRESS
is ADVOCATED.
Panama City Pilot.

1t is unfortunate that a second pri-
mary should be necessary 10 settle
the matter of a representative for this
district. but such is the case, and the
fight for the position may said to
have been just commenced
The Pilot has consistently and con
tinuously supported J. w. Kehoe fer
the position. Mr. Kehoe is d West
Florida man; he knows this district
and its needs as no one else that has
been in the race knows them; he is
not the candidate of any one locality,
but can conscientiOuSly work for
every part of the district
It has been charged by his oPp0-
nents that as he now lives in Pensa-
cola he will work or that port alone
This is a very silly charge. In the
first place Pensacola requires nothing
in the way of appropriations from
congress for harDor improvement. and
what is required in connection with
that port will be obtained through
the fact that it is the seat of the
government navy yard, and would be
a government and not a commercial
proposition. But Mr.. Kehoe is not
the kind of man that would aid any
one place TO the detriment of the 9th
ers. Men that make such charges
hut reflect their own attitude upon
such questions.
Mr. Kehoe will work for the i'm
provement of st. Andrews Bay, as
we know he will for Apalachicola and
Carrabelle. He knows that az these
places require governmental aid, and
that they are deserving of it. Nor
will he be other than fair with any

has no capital OF his own to invest,
but is able to demonstrate to those
who have, that it is bound to pay;
and this is all the easier if certain
interests are imbued with the idea
that they need a paper which shall be
run in their behalf
Perhaps it was owing to some such
circumstance that the Morning World
was started in New Orleans last De-
cember. At any rate, after a seeming
ly promising start and with large
number of stockholders, among them
many OF the most successful business
men of New Orleans, the Morning
World ceased publication a few days
ago and its fine plant is to be sold to
pay debts of the corporation.
Why the newspaper could not thrive
in a large city like New Orleans it is
hard to say, but the most probable
reason is that the public did not want
it and would not support it; though it
might have been that good manage
ment was lacking.

OMMANDANAT OF NAVY YARD
SUGGESTS, HOTEL WARRINGTON

Pensacola. Fla. June s, 1908.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
Complying with the request of The
Journal that your readers propose
names for the new hotel to be built
in Pensacola, l suggest the name of
the first commandment of the Pensa-
cola navy yard, Warrington.
Lewis Warrington. native of Vir-
ginia. entered the navy as a midship-
man in the year 1900 and as a mid
shipman saw active service in the
war with Tripoli, being attached to
one of the ships o. Commodore
Preble's squadron. He was promoted
to lieutenant in 1907 and was serving
in that capacity the same year on
board the frigate Chesapeake when
the deplorable affair between that
vessel and the British frigate Leopard
occurred. In 1914 Warrington, then
a master-commandant, or commander
as the rank is now called, was in
cock in her fight with the British
brig Epervier off Cape Canaveral,
Florida. The Epervier was captured
by the Peacock and Warrington was
promoted to the rank of captain
Sailing to the East Indies in the Pea
cock late in 1914, Captain Warning
ton engaged and captured in the
Strait OF Sunda the armed brig Maui
titus; this was in June, 1915, after
the war with England was ended.
and the Nautilus was released the
day after the battle, as soon as War
rington became convinced that peace
had been declared.
After returning to the United
States after this cruise, Captain
Warrington held many important
naval positions both af1oat and
ashore He died in Washington in
1851. being at the time chief of the
bureau of ordnance and photography
in the navy department. AS the first
commandant of this navy yard in the
'3Os of the last century he IS said to
have been very energetic in develop
ing the station, and probably rem
dered as useful service in promoting
the interests OF Pensacola as any one
of his time. 1t would therefore be d

slightly mixed in its understanding OF

cola case the senate had absolutely
rejected the appointment. In the other
cases we understand that the senate
simply failed to act upon them. The
rejection OF an appointment in one
case and the failure to take action of
any kind in another, are two separate
and distinct things.
