Senator Fletcher's
Work For Pensacola.

Senator Duncan Z. FletCher's amend
ment to the appropriation bill asking
fer an additional appropriation s0r
Pensacola's navy yard of nearly mil
lion and a quarter would be the begin
ming Of the opening of the yard to
carry on some of the government work
II he could only secure its passage and
have the money appropriated.
Many times the amount asked by
Senator Fletcher would be necessary u
complete the craving dock, but this
amount would be followed by addi-
tionaI appropriations sufficient to as
sure its completion in a few years,
and with its completion, Pensacola's
navy yard would be one of the finest in
the country and the vast amount of
work which is now going to the New
England states would be done in the
south which is justly entitled to q part
Of the government patronage.
S Senator Fletcher may not succeed in
getting what he is asking for, but it is
a move in the right direction and one
that means a great deal to West Flor
ida and Pensacola especially.
However, Mr.. Fletcher has gained an
envfable reputation in Washington as
one of the ablest senators there and he
should be successful He understands
conditions and realizes that the best
way to secure results.
No matter if he fails entirely, SEN
ator Fletcher is doing his best to again
open the navy yard, which is more
than other men in his position have
done in many years. He has started
the work and with the cooperation C
the southern delegation sooner or later
it may be expected that his work will
be felt and the government will give
Florida its pro rata part of the naval
work.

creased in efficiency. Later the postal
workers complained that the work was
being neglected and piled up and was
becoming more congested from an at
tempt to curtail expenses.
But the latest situation arises when
the publishers of the magazines of the
country have asked for an investiga-
ton of the postof1ce department, init
mating that its affairs are in incompe-
tent if not in dishonest hands, and the
Atlanta Journal insists upon President
Taft taking the necessary steps to fire
the head of the department for inau-
gurating the spy system which is now
in vogue.
Everyone regrets that the postoffioe
department has fallen into disrepute,
but everything points to this state Of
affairs. The searchlight of investiga-
ton should be turned on to this de-
partment for the public demands to
know. If those in charge are incou-
petent or dishonest there is no excuse
for retaining them. 1t is beginning to
| look like President Taft selected about
the poorest men he could find as cabi-
net officers, but it is never too late to
remedy ones mistake, in part, if not
altogether.

Working With Farmers.

Among the many other noteworthy
things of Pensacola and PensacoIians
is the way in which the business men
of that city are taking hold of the
question of how to advance the farm
ing interest of that section and county
and the spirit" demonstrated by the
finance) they are putting into the
work. The writer has long seen the
necessity of this movement among the
business men of every section and
has advocated it to the extent of his
ability, in Walton county, but as in
many other instances, perhaps. his
suggestions were too far fetched
We are glad, however. to see Pensa-
cola getting closer to the issue we feel
so interested in, and feel that the Com
mercial Association is destined to one
of the greatest works in revolutioniz-
ing the farming interest of West Flor
ida that has ever been undertaken.
Long may the promoters live and
