4 TALK ABOUT PRESENT hAVIES
Germany has Stolen a March and En-
gland is Excited---U S. Second

1t is difficult to realize that less than
25 years ago the United States did not
have single armored seagoing ship,
and that now we are prepared to en-
force the most recent Interpretation of
the Monroe doctrine in any part of the
world with a navy second in power
only to that of Great Britain itself
The navy of every other nation has
been of slow, steady growth, in the
execution of fixed purpose, and the
carrying out of a long defined policy.
But this country appears suddenly to
have awakened to the fact that the
American navy was worthless so far as
vessels were concerned, and that
a nation so well able to build warships
should be represented on the sea in
creditable manner.
The beginning of the new navy was
the passage of the naval appropriation
bill of lSS3 authorizing the construc-
tion of three steel cruisers and one
dispatch boat, at total cost of 81, 300,
900. Such a sum would not start a
contractor to work on one of the battle
ships or cruisers of today. There was
not an armor plate factory in the
United States, nor plant at which
could be turned out guns of greater
than 6-inch caliber There was not
torpedo nor machine gun plant in the
country. But armor plate factoriesspray
up. and the government established
great gun factory at Washington in
1887. The increase of our naval
strength from that year was rapid, and
when the Spanish war broke out in 1898
it not only found the American navy in
state of preparedness, but strong
enough to annihilate the navy of Spain
in campaign of 110 days.
mo race is so costly as that which
many nations enter in seeing which
can increase its naval armaments most
rapidly. The cost of a warship of the
Dreadnought class may be roughly
stated at $10,0Oo,O 900. Batleships of
the first class, speaking of the Dread
noughts as in class by themselves
cost about 81, GOO, 600. The armor and
guns on vessel cost, approximately,
as much as the vessel unarmored and
unarmed.
Americans. at least have never
been able to see real cause for the ex-
citement which has prevailed in Eng
land during the past few months over
the prospect of the German invasion.
The pace at which the Germans are
building warships is hardly so great
as that at which England is building
them. The present warship tonnage of /
Great Britain, according to the most
reliable figures obtainable, is 1859, COS, |
while that Of Germany is believed to be I
524, ,573 tons. Were vessels the two
are now building put on the |
wave Great Britain would have ton
mage of | ,S7l, 176, while Germany's ton /
mage would be 693, 599. AS a matter
Of fact, France is adding to her navy
more rapidly than GERMANY is increas-
ing hers. and when vessels now on the
ways are completed France will rank
second in naval strength among the
powers of the world, with the United
States third, instead of second, the
place she now occupies.
But there is a wide gap between

Ben Darrah began cutting alfalfa
yesterday on his Big Wood river ranch.
The young crop is in fine condition but
the older fields were thinned somewhat
by the winter freezing and thawing
while the ground was wet. Mr.. Darrah
is satisfied that it pays to reseed alfalfa
fields quite often as the newly planted
fields do not winter kill like the older
fields and the hay on the new is finer and
much better than the old. The change
also affords opportunity for a more
thorough cultivation of the soil.

VILLA RIGA, Ga, June %, 1909.
Editor Atlanta Journal: 1 note in

Chairman McLendon that the Hon. Guyt

everybody knows that conditions have

was equal to the situation. re changed,

people known that Guyt's convictions
were only skin deep or could be changed
so easily they would never have elected

doubtless would be sitting around some
hotel lobby drawing pictures of NOV
An honest voter can never tell what
changed political conditions will do for
a politician. Certainly conditions have
changed. Crops are not as far ad-
vanced north Of Macon as they were
last year. Flour, grain and feedstuffs
are higher, street railway stocks have
advanced in Atlanta, running over the
cor poration's dinner pail. Lots of our
dinner pals are not so full as they
were before June 4, 1908. Our line Of

ABOLISH COMMISSION,
SUGGESTED IN CARD

Declaring that the published reports Of
some OF the Georgia railroad commits
sioners in what is known as the port rate
case contain statements that are so erro-
neous that we find ourselves constrained
to make some reply" the Beck & Gregg
Hardware company, Dinkins Davidson
Hardware company, the Anderson Hard
ware company, ACCOMPLISHMENT company
and others, have written an answer to
the commissions decision, giving their
own views.
The answer in some parts becomes al
most caustic. Declaring that the opinion
of the chairman imputes to us unworthy
motives, and at least by insinuations,
the answer declare that they have no
redress for this grievance. further than
to submit few facts to the public"
Answering the concluding statement of
Chairman McLendon. in which he quoted
1.-The Philistines robbed Samson of his
sight; they did not reb him of his
strength" the compliments answer, 20!
that mine enemy would write a book"
Discussing the opinions of the majority
of the commission, the answer says that
there is no appeal from the action of the
commission, and that there is no recourse
for the judicial correction of the errors
that may have been committed. The
chairman of the commission and Commits
sioner Hill are both taken to task for
their holding that the rates were reason
able because the compliments had en-
joyed prosperity. . ....... ..''.
cit is a dangerous and unsound doc
trine that freight rates may be meas
ured, according to the prosperity of the
shipper" the answer declares.

MISSOURI RATE CASE
ARGUED nv CHICAGO

CHICAGO, June 2s.-Final arguments
in the Missouri river rate case injunc-
ton were begun here today in the Uni
ted States circuit court with Judges
Crosscup, Baker and Kohlsaat on the
bench.
The case is regarded as highly import
ant, as it is alleged that the order of the
interstate commerce commission reducing
the rate between the Mississippi and Mis-
souri, rivers on shipments originating east
of Buffalo OF Pittsburg and consigned
west OF the Missouri is revolutionary in
principle.
An Injunction temporarily restraining
the enforcement of the commissions or
der was obtained last November and it
was on a motion by the commission to
dissolve this order that arguments were
heard today.
Luther NJ. Walther, special assistant tc
the attorney general, appeared for the
commission, while w. d. McHugh and
S. A Lynde argued in behalf of the COM
planning railroads. C. H. Fyffe, repre-
senting the Central Freight Shippers as
ISOLATION. made the opening argument,
his clients being co-complainants.
