John Molies, $50 s. Devilliers street,

Kidney Pills several years ago and
since then have never been without
them. When they were first brought
to my attention. I was in a miserable

me miserable. At last 1 was confined

Pensacola Navy Yard
A National Necessity.

The Journal wishes to thank the
Jacksonville Times Union for an apt
and well considered editorial pro-
testing against the closing of the
navy yard which was decreed by the
outgoing federal administration, but
reconsidered by President Taft and
Secretary OF the Navy Meyer. With
those who have studied conditions
there can be no two opinions as to
the truth Of the following deductions
of our Gate City contemporary:
The government owns a fine plant
at Pensacola. 1t has given employ
ment to a large number Of skilled
workmen. No reason for closing the
navy yard was given and none can
be imagined. It would not be goOd
policy to throw away the investment
the government has at Pensacola
unless repairs cost more there than
elsewhere. We see no reason why
they should cost more there. In
fact. II there is a difference it should
be in favor Of economy Of repairs at
Pensacola in comparison with any
other place. Iron and steel as well
as wood can be laid down at a lower
cost-at Pensacola than at any other
seaport. Coal is cheap there, too.
Every element that enters into the
cost of shipbuilding and ship repair
ing is less costly at Pensacola than
elsewhere. Instead of closing the
plant, the government should en-
large II into the biggest shipbuilding
plant in the United States. At no
other port could ships be as cheaply
built. Pensacola is destined to be-
come a great shipbuilding center
the greatest in America-and the
government in abandoning its work
there VIII be making a great mis-
take.
Anyone who has studied the to-
biography of Pensacola harbOr
should be able to realize that it fur
nishes an ideal location for q naval
repair and construction station.
This, of course, means a great deal
more than mere base for supplies
which the government might we'll
locate at any point, either at home
or abroad provided the latter fall
within its sphere Of influence.
With the present complete arma-
rlent at Forts Piekens and McRee
the United States may bid defiance
TO the navies of the world so far as
n successful entrance into Pensacola
Bay is concerned. The position
IS fmpregnabIe, unenterable, and
would afford the safest harbor in
the entire South for war vessels
needing repairs or for the construc-
tion OF new vessels should the coun-
try ever again be compelled to use
armed forces against any foreign
government.
Apart from it's ideal strategic To-
cation as q port best qualified to
satisfy the coUntry's need in time of
Mar, Pensacola also deserves nation

A Simple Tale of
How the Money Goes.

BTadStreet's always gives interest
ing reading, but never so mucl as
when it takes the world into its conf
deDce. 1t must be allowed that, as a
publication devoted to the business
interests Of the country, it is the fair
est We have, and for that reason,
sometimes gets in a position between
the devil and the deep blue sea when
it gives away conditions to the one
side or the OtheT-anyway, one cares
to look at it-wnich should be equal
~ instructive to both. This from its
last issue tells quite an interesting
story:
President Taft will begin his admin
-iStTstiOn with a deficit in the treasury
amounting TO nearly SS7, 100000. The
government receipts for the month of
February amounted to sac, gu, ZOE, a
decrease of over $1,000, 900 as COM
pared with February of last year. The
expenditures amounted 10 $50, 229, 900
a decrease OF over $4,000, 600 as com
pared with the corresponding month
of last year. The excess of expendi-
lures over receipts for the month
amounted TO over $780, 900, or about
81, 800. 600 less than the excess on the
same side for February of 1908. The
receipts for the eight months of the
fiscal year ending with February
amounted TO SSS7.575, OO2. a decrease
OF nearly So, 500, 900 as compared
witE-the corresponding period OF the
preceding fiscal year. The expendi-
lures. on tle other hand, amounted to
$4T3,946. 755, an increase Of over S3I:-
100000 as compared with the like pc
riOd OF the fiscal year 1907-OS. The
excess Of expenditures for the eight
months amounted to over $50, SOC. 600.
This is over three times the amount
OF the deficit at the end OF the eight
months period a year ago, which was
something over S27,200.000.
The last figures show that reform
comes high when applied only to
others and not in part to the admins
tration. and We people down south
can't help wondering whether It will
be government reform or rSe reform

trade with South America This
trade viii necessarily be entered at
some point on the Gulf of Mexico
well connected by rail with the whole
territory of the United States. That
the government should lend it's aid
toward the building up of such a
port to the highest degree OF eff
cheney goes without saying And it
seems beyond the pale of reasonable
observance that proper investigation
which has been promised, will fail
to materialize in developing such a
port to its utmost capacity, both for
possible warfare and for certain
commercial requirement.

rectness of the term. This. how
ever, does not prove by any means
that the ending IAN is correct. 1t
might be argued that the structure
OF the name Atlanta, having two
consonants before the final a, would
put it under a different rule from
the other names mentioned, but 1
do not think such an argument would
hold. Usage governs such things
largely, and usage is usually inclined
TO euphony. The designation OF
Cubans as "Cubians," as one some
times hears, strikes the ear dis
Rgreeably- To me, the expression
"PensacOlian" is about as bad.
l would like to see other views ex-
pressed. If it is agreed that either
term is correct, is not the simple
ending n preferable to the inter
pOlated /, which adds an additional
syllable?

II strikes The Journal that when

to the special session of congress, and
at the same time use its funds to de-
yelop strengthen the semblance of

miniOn and at the expense of its own
people, it is about time TO stop ex-
pansion and give greater attention to
internal development. Would such a
tax be necessary If the country had

than to outside and comparatively un-
