Washington, Oct. 15.-President
Taft, who, in the language Of Captain
Archie Butt, his aide, is now slowly
eating his way toward Washington,
will have a strenuous administrative
year to look forward to when he ar
rives at the white house in Novem-
ber. Apparently. the members of his
cabinent have spent their spare time
getting good grasp on the problems
of their departments in order that
they may pass them on to the presi-
dent when he returns.
The Old Navy Question.
Secretary Meyer has been giving
much Of his leisure hours to prepar-
ing a plan for the reorganization Of
the navy departmental problem
which has been thorn in the side Of
nearly every administration since the
forties. The board under Rear Ad-
miral Swift which has been sitting in
Boston all summer has about con-
cluded its task Of digesting bushels
Of reports and hearings on the ques-
tion, and is ready to formulate
scheme designed to obviate the con-
troversies which have been disturb
ing the peace Of the department as
far back as memory runneth. From
what Secretary Meyer has already
said, this plan is to present many i'm
portant changes, and while It is under
consideration is'likely TO keep the en-
tire department and the navy itself
in a ferment. Whether 1t will allay
naval criticism and bring about am
ity between the line and staff and
do many other beneficial things time
only will tell. SO far the board and
Secretary Meyer have been very Sc
cretlve about the plan and 1t will not
be diyulged until President Tan
shall have acted upon 1t.
Can Surgeon Command?
President Taft must also settle the
question which caused such rum
pus during the Roosevelt administra-
tion-whether OF not surgeon should
command a hospital chip or whether
this function should be exercised by a
line officer. Sides have again form

did when Surgeon Stokes was placed
in command Of the Relief and Admir-
al Brownson resigned because he disa-
greed with the president. The Solace
is almost ready, but Secretary Mey-
er will not place the vessel in commits
sion until President Taft has deter
mined which course he viii pursue.
Besides there are many minor mat
terg Of administration in the navy
which vii require adjustment one
question in particular being the con-
gestion Of Officers IN the lower ranks.
In the State Department.
In the state department there are
no less momentous questions to be de-
cided. Secretary Knox has already
announced in general terms the for
eign policy Of the administration
notably that II is to be commercial
one Putting # IN practice, however,
involves many questions as yet un-
aswered. Although President Taft
has reiterated his friendliness for
Japan, there are signs Of conflict on
the Manchurian agreement between
that country and China. And while
a friendly attitude IS an easy one to
assume in after dinner speeches, it Is
difficult TO play the part against the

TAFT WILL HAVE MIGHTY PROBLEMS WITH
WHICH TO COPE At END OF LONG JOURNEY

I taggressiveness of Japan. Our orien-
| tai relations necessarily affect our re-
lations with other countries, particu-
/ larly as our determination to COM
pete for the commerce of China places
US in direct opposition to the import
ant powers of the world. 1t may be
said that the entire. oriental policy is
still unformulated.
New Ambassadors.
Announcement will probably be
made shortly after President Taft
returns of the appointment of new
ambassadors-to London, Paris and
Vienna. They are probably already
decided upon. The announcement is
awaited with much interest. however
as it will determine President Taft's
personal inclinations in the appoint
ment of diplomatic representatives.
The Army Problems.
The army offers no great problems,
but 1t remains to be seen whether the
pairing down Of great expenses will
have any serious effect on the mill
tary establishment. The most i'm
portant problem of defense> now be-
fore the army Is the safe guarding
Of the Pacific-the fortification of our
own western coast, Hawaii and the
Philippines General Murray. chief
Of the coast artillery, has just re-
turned from trip over the entire
ground, and General Bell, chief OF
staff, from Alaska. The question Of
future policy will depend largely up
on their reports. Several weak spots
have been found. Whether or not
the policy of retrenchment will be ad-
hered to in this respect is also a mat
ter for presidential determination.
The Customs Court.
Among some Of the more import
ant things which will engage the
presidents attention in other branches
Of the government is the creation Of
the customs court. Congress failed 20
appropriate money for the salaries Of
the five judges although 1t did fur
nish enough to begin the organization
OF the court and pay salaries Of some
minor officials If the president had
appointed the judges during the re-
cess they would have had to serve
without pay. The selection Of these
five men will occupy many valuable
moments of the presidents time.
The Tariff Question.
The general tariff board appointed
TO help the president enforce the max
imum and minimum features Of the
new tariff law will begin its work in
earnest November J., studying the
tariffs Of foreign countries to find
which ones discriminate against the
United States. This board will doubt
less report from time to time to the
president regarding individual coun-
tries, and the president will have to
prepare proclamatlons granting to
those countries which do not discrim-
mate against US immunity from the
maximum rates which will otherwise
90 into effect March ! next. The
boards work must be completed by
that time 80 far as this feature Of the
law Is concerned, but the president is
anxious to have them continue to
make Investigations for the purpose OF
ascertaining. the actual cost, in labor
and material. Of manufacture abroad.
Additional legislation by congress
will, however, be necessary before the

ed that he is going to make some i'm
portant recommendations for chang
es in the interstate commerce and
antitrust laws, including the estab-
lishment of an interstate commerce
court. These matters are bound to
occasion wide controversy and it can
be taken for granted that. after con-
gress gets here, the president will
be kept very busy with the senators
and representatives working for the
adoption of his recommendations.
Then, too, he wants a national incor-
poration law. and Attorney General
Wickersham is preparing a draft of
such a measure for his approval.
There is still that perennial prob
lem of "what is whisky?" The pres
ident first shunted the question off
on Solicitor General Bowers, who lis
tened attentively to thousands Of
words of testimony, and then render
ed an opinion which was displeaslng
to both sides. It then went to the
white house. The controversy is over
the labelling of spirits under the pure
food and drugs act. which requires
that the label on the bottle shall tell
the whole truth and nothing but the
truth. Wherefore, the rectifiers and
distillers found themselves under DR..
Wiley's ban when they termed
"blends" and "artificially aged"

Pinchot- -Balllnger Controversy.
Then there is the Pinchot-Ballin-
ger controversy, which, despite the
presidents success in quieting the
belligerents, still threatens to break
out anew at any time. Secretary Bal
linger wants the executives approval
to certain recommendations which he
will make to congress regarding con-
servation. Soon after he became sec
retary of the interior, Ballinger
again restored to entry thousands OF
acres of land withdrawn by his pre-
decessor, Garfield, under instructions
from President Roosevelt, because Of
the likelihood of the power sites in
cluded therein becoming the prop
erty Of the "waterpower trust" Bal
linger maintained that the withdraw
ais were contrary to law, and that
examination of lands to determine
whether or not they really contained
potential power sites should precede
instead of come after, their with
drawaL And so. despite the heat Of
his controversy with Chief Forester
Pinchot, Ballinger has been pursuing
the even tenor Of his way, having
lands examined for power sites, and

Question of Economy.

studying in accordance with his
wishes. how to economize in the ex-
penses of the government will prob
ably be able 10 submit reports to the
president shortly after his return. In
view Of the fact that members Of
these committees say that they have
found many places where money may
be saved, their reports will have to
be carefully considered so as to make
sure that their recommendations for
economy. il put into practice, will not
reduce efficiency.

clared that by keeping the stables

Pensacola Should Build
a Public Wharf.

Pensacola is getting new side
walks; it is about to enjoy new pave
ments; the creation of attractive
parkways is receiving practical at
tention and all things point to a won
derful municipal advance in beauty
and comfort within the next two or
three years. This is right; it is pro-
gressive and in harmony with a civil
lization that grows greater and purer
as time goes on.
But there Is another Improvement
loudly demanded by the business In
terests Of the city, whose acquisition
should not be delayed longer than a
most energetic use OF wood and stone
and hammer and nails and cement
can bring it into being. The Journal
refers to a public wharf, owned and
operated by the city; wharf extend
ing into deep water where merchant
vessels of heavy draught may be ac-
commodated, and where moderate
wharfage fees would attract Shipping
to enter our matchIess bay.
1t matters little where such q wharf
Is located, If it is within reasonable
distance Of the city's business CEN
ire. Pensacola, most fortunately. has
not parted with all of it's water front
and now is the time OF all times when
It should utilize a portion CT what is
remaining to aid in its own develop
ment.
The eyes OF railroad men, of steam
boat men Of all sorts and conditions
Of men who have to do with the car
rytng OF commerce are fixed upon the
ports of the Gulf of Mexico. II
stands to reason that, other things
being nearly equal, favor will be
shown those ports which offer the
best and cheapest facilities.
Those in charge of PensacoIa's in
Serests, its business men and its mn
nicipal authorities, should take warn
ing. Now is the time to act; to act
boldly and vigorously. Any DELAY in |
wharf construction may mean a loss
of enormous wealth and woe:uIIv re-
ard the growth OF the city.
