| communication around Cuba" add to
| its strength. As a matter of fact. The
fact that there are two distinct lines,
separated for 500 miles by the island
of Cuba, is an element of weakness
not Of strength.
Let us suppose a powerful hostile
fleet is approaching the eastern END o.
Cuba. A slight deviation to the rlgh:

while a deviation to the left would
throw it into the Caribbean. 1t u ouid

would offer the least resistance. If
the American feet were in the Carib-
bean he could turn into the Florida
| straits and for more than five hundred
miles the island of Cuba would pro-
tect his fleet from attack by the Amer
lean fleet. The foreign feet would
find an open way into the gulf, white
the American feet would have to go
around Cuba and could not attack
until it caught up somewhere in the
gulf with hostile feet which had the
| start and shorter route.
The talk Of defending the gulf coast
| from the Caribbean is all rubbish. If
it were all one open body of water
this would not be so entirely the case.
But Cuba would make it impossible
for an American feet to strike its ad-
versary until it was already in the
gulf Or IL the hostile feet should de-
fleet its course a little further to the
right it could sweep up the South At
lantic coast, while the American fleet
was going around Cuba to look for A.
in the gulf
While leaving the unimportan-
south with its 35,000.00 people and
more than half the sea coast OF the
United States absolutely defenseIess,
Secretary Meyer proposes to dis
tribute among the colonies all OF the
pork that is left after the north has
been sufficiently fed. He proposes en-
appropriation Of $2,2S7,0 for Pearl
| harbor, Hawaii. and 100000 for
Olangapo, Philippine islands. He also
proposes a small increase in the ap-
preparations for the navy and the ma
rine corps.
The southern senators and represeu
tatives should fight this program with
all their power, and they should have
the assistance of all who love fair
dealing.

Mr.. Laird's Letter
OF Yesterday.

Yesterday morning The Journal pub
l,shed a letter from II. g. Laird, Of
Milton, In which Mr.. Laird uses some
altogether unwarranted language and
draws some absolutely false conclu-
sious In discussing The Journals re-
port Of the Corbin assassination Of
the day previous. The Journal would
have been entirely justified In refusing
% publish Mr.. Laird's communication,
and probably should have done 50, but
when a person has q complaint to
make The Journal likes, whenever pos
sible, to give him q chance to make 1t,
and for that reason alone his letter
was published.
AZ matter Of fact, The Journals
report of the Corbin assassination,
hurriedly secured and hurriedly writ.
ten as was necessary under the cir
cumstances, was correct in all essen
tial facts. Whether Corbin was killed
by five bullets or two bullets does not
alter the fact that he was shot to
10 who did the killing and not even
the remotest suggestion was made az
to the assassin's identity. If Mr..
laird discovered any such inference
or suggestion he is evidently confused
as To- the source of his discovery. for
5crtalnl- The Journal did not contain
8 word or line that would furnish it
:or him.
Nr. J-airds assertion that The
Journal hitherto has lost no oppor-
tunity to paint Milton in very dark
color5 and On occasions tas in this
case) by downright Misrepresentation
IS us untrue as it is uncalled for The
journal has never had occasion to do
anything of the kind. It did not do
SO IN this case and never has done so
in any case. The publication of the
fact that an assassination has occurred
whether in Milton, DeFuniak, Pensa
cola. New York, or San Francisco
does not carry with it any such idea
as Mr.. Laird seeks to convey and If
he does not know better he at least
ought to know better.
The Journal has, as Mr. Laird init
mates. a great many friends in Milton,
but they will hardly be misled by
what he says in reference to this mat
ter, and if his intention is to injure

An Excellent Start
For a Clean Campaign.

- Pensacola's candidate for the sen.
ate, Hon. William n. Blount, has had
q number of joint debates with the
young gentleman. who seems at the
present to be his most formidable op-
ponent. Mr.. y. P. Bryan. and the dig
nifty of the joint discussions had en-
cited favorable comment from the
local new spapers which reported the
debates.
This is indeed very gratifying. For
the past several campaigns mud sling.
ing was so common that ii had come
10 be regarded as the legitimate
weapon to use in state wide CAM
paigns. The campaign which resulted
in the election of the late Governor
Broward was in some parts of the
state conducted on n plane that made
IL an actual disgrace to the entire
state.
Perhaps no man was ever elected
10 office who had more false charges
made against him than did Mr.. Brow
ard. As soon as the election was over
the charges were forgotten and the
entire state united in praise Of the
able chieftain. Neither did Senator
Taliaferro escape the sting of calumny
I is no wonder that he left for Europe
in disgust as soon as the election was
over and that he refused to ever be-
come a candidate for office again.
/; is fortunate that the present cam
paign has so far advanced in clean
and dignifed manner.

VOX POPULI.
SCORES THE RAILROAD
ON PASSENGER RATES
Editor Pensacola Journal.

Editor Pensacola Journal.
l read with pleasure your remarks
In yesterdays Journal about the pas
senger rates on this branch OF the l..
g. n. road. l believe 1t Is high time
the press of West Florida took up the
cause for the rights Of the people in
this section for both passengers and
freight rates. I know that prospec-
tive settlers are passing by this Sec
ton because of the attitude OF the
railroad to the people. do not see
how the l.. & n. can be so blind to
it's own interests. If they would make
passenger rate of 2 1-2 cents a mile,
at the very lowest estimate two people
would ride where one rides now and
they would get cents instead of 4
cents, with no additional expense, as
their cars are not half full now, ex-
cept on special occasions, and their
freight and passenger traffic would in
crease rapidly from the increased
prosperity in West Florida, and this
would bring increased business for
Pensacola.
It is time that we reminded our
legislators east Of the Chattahoochee
river that they are neglecting us.
They have given all but West Florida
a 1-2 cent rate and 2-cent mileage
books. They could get it for us if
they would try. but we are about like
fourth cousin to that part of the
state and our interests are neglected.
Some years ago there was strong
talk of annexing West Florida to Ala
bama. l was opposed to it then, but
would heartily favor it now, for the
state of Alabama could and would get
us our just dues. Let the press oil
West Florida get busy on the subject.
Yours truly,
JAS. NIPE.
