OF all the prominent Americans who

Hearty Welcome for "Joe" Blackburn

the hatchea Is buried, it is never
resurrected.
1t was with regret that Mr. Black
burn left the senate. but he has, been
almost as happy in his new field as on
his old stamping ground and in the
short year and half of his service
as one of the commissioners of the
lsthmian canal he has become as
popular in Panama as he was in
Washington, and the style of life in
the old Spanish city is especially
pleasing to the silver-tongled Ken
tuckian. As everybody knows the
United States government houses the
public servants in Panama in mag
nificent style. The state in which
they live, indeed, approaches that
formerly enjoyed by the Spanish
grandees in that part of the world, and
the role of Spanish grandee admir-
ably suits the former senator from
the Bluegrass state, who is so adjust
able and so versatile that he is al
ways at home no matter what his sur
roundings and so much at home is he
in Panama that his friends both here
and there hope he will be allowed to
remain during good behavior"

New Ships to Make Our Navy Lead All

The report that Great Britain was
building a 1875 gun. has been run down
by the naval authorities here and they
state that it is not true. 1t is also
stated that there is no foundation
Whatever for the report that Germany
is building or projecting even, five
battleships, each of which is to carry
II Pinch guns.
1t is admitted now that the United
States stands second on the list of
naval powers, and this is largely be-
cause the United States naval relative
power depends on modern ships
against which twenty or more of the
British so-called battleships do not
count and are not to be taken into
count, because not one of them could
approach within five miles of any of
the United States battleships even of
the Alabama class. Above that class
in the United States are the South
Carolina, Michigan and, of course, the
American Dreadnaughts are all above
that class. In other words, the
United States has ship for ship,
built and building, better and more
powerful ships than Great Britain has
built and is building for the next
three years.
The navy department confidently
expects to see the prediction OF the
experts realized in 1911 and the
United States will. lead the world in
naval power. The experts declare
that when the statement is made that
Great Britain has at the present time
"a battleships against 90 of the
United States, it only means an ap-
parent numerical excess and that
when the ships are compared one with
the other, there are more dead or
obsolete types and classes in the
British navy than in any other mary.

THE government has now opened its
1 alcohol school in the city of Wash
ington for the instruction of the peo-
pie of the United States in proper
methods of making and using the de-
natured product.
For this purpose a model still has
been erected close by the department
of agriculture which is big enough to
work up 25 bushels of corn a day, con
verting that quantity of grain into 70
gallons of 95 per cent. alcohoT-that
is to say, 80 per cent. pure. The plant
represents the smallest outfit that can
be conducted profitably OH a CONNER
cial scale.
The farmers cannot very well see it
for themselves, so arrangements have
been made by which they may learn
about it. Agricultural experts from
the experiment stations in every one
of the states are to go to Washington,
examine the alcohol-mal1ing outfit. see
how it works and listen to course of
lectures explaining its management
1t will be their business when they go
home to teach the farmers how to put
up and how to operate plants of this
character

T is pleasant to have Senator Black
1 burn back in our midst again, to see
his great. starwart form swinging
through the streets, to meet his semi
cynical, semi-humorous smile and to
feel his hearty hand clasp, but it is
difficult to think of him in any en-
vironment save that of the senate
chamber where he passed so many
years. There has never been a mem
ber of that distinguished body more
frankly, more genuinely and generally
popular than Joe" Blackburn. No
matter how widely one differed with
him in politics, it was impossible not
to like him, for there is nothing about
him to dislike. He is prince of good
fellows, a generous friend and mag
unanimous foe. When the battle is on
he fights with all the fight there is
in him. but he is as quick to forgive

WASHlNGTON.-The navy depart
w ment experts figure that the
United States navy will be the first in
rank in the world when the four new
battleships proposed by Secretary
Newberry have been completed.
The approximate time of the com
pletion of these ships is the close of
the year 1911. By that date there
will have been completed these four:
The Delaware and Dakota and the
Florida and Utah.
The specific points made by the ex-
perts, however, is that the four new
ships which have been suggested are
to be of 25,000-tons displacement each
and will carry eight 14-inch guns.
Sueh a squadron of battleships will
be unlike and superior to anything in
naval history, both as to displacement
ana to main battery.
The astounding but absolutely true
statement is made by the navy ex-
perts that the 14-inch guns will be
effective at ten miles. 1t is also stated
by these experts that Great Britain,
after the appropriation by congress
for the four proposed battleships, will
never be able to regain its lead in
States, England's greatest proposed
battleaaip, the Fondroyant, is, accord
ing to the details in the United States

to the Florida or the Utah
