word. as Hard cider was off her feet
most OF the time and Prouty seemed un-
able to get her level. Finally the crowd
began TO yell. Take him off Take him
off; he amt III TO drivel We've got our
money on that mare!" The judges called
Prouty into the stand and told him that
he'd have TO show better driving OF they'd
put another man up behind Hard cider.
whereupon Prouty flared up like a rocket,
hit the starting Judge In the eye and
raised such a rough house generally that
seven constables rushed IN and hustled
him TO the barn, where. after absorbing
another mug OF the wonderful Bangor
lemonade. the owner Of Hard cider curled
up on a pile Of straw and snored melo-
diousiy.
Hard Cider Wins.
Aldebert Byther OF Bangor. a deadly
rival OF Crowley. happened to be on the
grounds. and he was put up behind Hard
cider. Then came a. real horse race. In
the second heat Sure Thing won by a
nose, but in the third, after Byther had
time to make few changes in the Prouty
mares straps. II was different. Hard
cider got away finely, clrcled the inside
horses and got on Sure Things wheel,
staying there all the way up the back
stretch. When they opened into the
homestrotch and squared away for tho
wire Byther swung out. spoke 20 TIE
mare and remarked to Crowley that Hard
Cider was better than lemonade. Crowley
scowled and yelled that a Sure Thing was
better than either. When they came
down, neck and neck, the crowd got up on
its hind feet and yelled like Indians, tho
excitement surprising anything since the
night the tannery burned. George w.
Judklns, first se-lect-man OF Patta-
gumpus, who had $50 on the Prouty
entry. collapsed from the intense nervous
strain and had TO be carried 20 one Of
the refreshments booths. Augustus e.
Babson, the sporting barber. who had 500

winnings IL the mare won.
A mighty shout OF triumph went UP as
Hard Cider went under the wire first.
length better than Sure Thing. and as
many as forty Pride OF the Grange cigars
were handed up TO Byther In apprecia-
ton OF his good driving. In the fourth
Sure Thing was ruled out for Interference
and crowley suspended for foul driving,
and Hard cider took the heat. The fifth
and winning heat was won by the Prouty
mare just as the sun was setting, with
Honest Injun and Sister May fighting for
second place and DR.. Cook dlstanced.
Pandemonium reigned as the bets were
cashed, and the man with the wonderful
lemonade did the business OF his life.
The hackers OF Hard Cider presented
Driver Byther with 81 ana a leather
watch fob and filled all his pockets with
cigars. Then they paraded back to Passa-
filling the evening air with
sounds OF gladness. Prouty himself sim
slumbered in the straw.

When the hackers Of Hard cider ar
rived in the village square they found
the stay-at-homes gathered at the post
office waiting for election returns. Then
II dawned upon them that strong drink,
as illustrated in the case OF Alanson j.
Prouty, had come near TO costing them
500 or more In good money. and they
wished they had stayed at home and
voted Tor prohibition. To soften this
civic sorrow many OF the citizens resorted
TO the tavern. where many time and oft
the discreet clerk cautiously removed a
pIank in the barn floor and produced
something for medicinal purposes.

The Navy Yard and What
It Means to Pensacola.

Elsewhere in these columns appears
a very entertaining dissertation on
what the navy yard is doing for
Pensacola. This communication was
elected by The Journals statement
last Sunday which read as follows:
But the navy yard as it is today
amounts to abandonment. It is Of 20
material benefit to Pensacola or the
federal government. The thousands IT
dollars invested there are wasted un'
less the navy yard is put into operation
and the work carried on there. .
We quite agree with our an,iable
critic that what Pensacola gets out Of
the navy yard--little as it ISIS all
clear profit. We agree also that Pen
sacola does get something out of the
navy yard.
But when The Journal said that "the
navy yard as it stands today amounts
70 abandonment" it spoke the truth.
When 1t said that the yard "is of no
material benefit to Pensacola or the
federal government" 1t also spoke the
truth. Because IN a general sense
Pensacola gets no more out of it than
the government does. Technically, or
comparatively. this may not be true,
but really it Is true.
What is paltry s13,450 per month
to Pensacola as compared with mil
Non dollars a year that would come
through pay rolls and visits of the feet
Il the navy yard were in operation?
And what is the government now
getting out of the yard compared to
what it should get and would get If
the advantages Of locate and equip
ment were utilized as they should be?
There is just one reason why the
navy department should keep this yard
In operation. That reason is that the
government ca. do it's work to better
advantage here than elsewhere Pen
sacola's interests should have nothing
to do with it and they do not have
anything to do with it.
There Is just one reason why the
navy department does not keep the
yard in operation. That reason lies m
departmental favoritism for eastern.
yards where senatorial influence is
greatest.
With the Pensacola yard put into
active operation, the government will
be getting the best results for its
money and Pensacola will be the gamer
by at least a million dollars a year
spent here in wages and maintenance.
AS it is now, we repeat that, in n
broad sense, the yard is of no material
benefit to Pensacola or the govern
ment." What we want is something
for Admiral Young and the rest of you
to do-we're tired of so much loahng.

makers to use his influence for or
against any measure cannot be denied
anyone. Surely this should be allowed
in every state. Questions which vitality
affect communities and counties come
before nearly every session Of the legis-
latures and those people who are in
terested should be allowed to present
their side Of the question.
The professional lobbyist Is the one
who should be eliminated. They are
the ones who have brought into disre-
pute lobbying in its proper form. This
is free country and every citizen,
every corporation and every business
should be allowed the same privileges
before the sessions Of the legislatures
and the courts of the country.

Is Lobbying
Legitimate?

Alabama is having the usual lobby
lists at the capitol during the session OF
the legislature and some of the news

sition that lobbying is not right ana
that t should be prohibited.
This happens at every session OF
every legislature. Some think 1t is ali
right and others object. 1t depends
usually. upon what question is at stake
