I;t He who Is an anti-ship-subsidyist'
might be an American in name but
not an American at heart. Such per-
son The Is not an American) is not fit
for nublic Office, national or munich
nal. He is a traitor in the time OF
peace. to the best interests OF the
American people. If he is naturaliz-
ed citizen he has broken nationalist
ton laws, and is guilty of such The
idea of a paper, corporation or per-
son having to be bought to support his
nation in a question of such impor-
lance as that of ship subsidy. 1t is
nothing but pure, downright self In
terest, looking after No. l instead OF
the nation. You sacrifice your life
for your nation in time of war; you
ought to sacrifice your self interest
in time of peace.
1t is an assured fact that we need
ship subsidy to make our nation safe.
Our navy is of no value without mer-
chant ships. 1t is foolishness to spend
millions for a navy and not spend one
cent for merchant ships. We spend
millions for foreign flags to carry on
our commerce. Why not let that mon
ey stay at home? With merchant
marine we can carry on all our COM
merce with other countries, thus saw
ing millions of dollars, which would be
kept at home, and, furthermore, we
can carry commerce of other nations
and bring more money to our shores.
Why any American, who has his ma
tons interest at heart, could be OPP
posed to turn like this is more than
can see.
What are we building the Panama
canal for? To help foreign countries
to carry American commerce; that's
it! What are we spending that $780,
000,O0 at Panama for? 1t is purely
an American project, but are we build
ing it to aid foreign commerce? There
is one for you.
It's an American project; American
money is building it and the Ameri-
can nation ought to be benefited by it.
In 1915 the canal will be opened to
the world. 1t might be that foreign
flags can have a flag rush without the
American flag, but it would not look
very good in an American canal,
would it? The Panama canal is ours
and we must make use of it. An
American merchant marine will help
us make use of it and help US to keep
others out of it.
HE who is an anti-ship- subsidyist
is no American!"

SUNDAYS OUTING

Speeding out On the Ocala Northern

morning, and then later in the day
spinning down the raging Oklawaha
aboard the Wenona, Oregonian, Louie
Warren and Skiddoo to Conner and
Delk's Bluff, were fifty or more Ocal-
ians and tourists. And during the af-
ternoon another crowd went out to
the springs, and the same launches
again shipped many hundredweight of
men and women and put out the Sec
ond time for Connor's orange groves
and Carmichaeps Landing.
During the early hours of Sunday
Old Sol forgot to eat his breakfast, or
something was the matter with him,
and he refused to shine a little bit.
and there was heavy mist. When
the sun finally peeped through the
mist he was high above quarterback,
and the four river boats were snorting
at that time down the avenue of Los
Kiss.
The Oklawaha is now sparkling
with springtime, and Sunday was
such an ideal day that the large
crowds spending the day on the water
declared that they were overjoyed.
and those who could get away next
Sunday declared that they would most
assuredly go again.

with huge baskets of trailing moss,
filled with magnolia branches. The
serving table was set in a bower of
long-leaf pines, the center piece being

more ENJOYABLE gathering added to the
list of Inequalities already credited to
this charming home.

ARMORY PLANS
ARE RECEIVED
Call for Pretentious Building
Will be Modified Slightly
for Redwood

Plans calling for building three
stories in front, ITO by 81, and
which would cost in St. Paul, $4,000
are now in the hands of Capt. j. w.
lnglis and Charles Gales.
The two officers Of the guard
drove to St. Peter yesterday in the
captains Oakland and talked the
armory situation over with the major
of this regiment and secured the
plans.
The drill hall is to be the largest
room in the building and will be 80
by 81. Then there are to be sslocker
rooms, offices, a gallery, mess room
kitchen, rifle range and everything
needed by a progressive guard.
Also there must be room for non
commissioned officer of the United
States army who will be here in
about year to take charge of the
drilling OF the guard. The plans
will be changed and slightly modi-
fled to fit conditions here.
At present the chief difficulty is
over the site. The lots owned by
the company next the Jail are not
available as it will be an extremely
difficult job to give the company a
clear title. The deed was made out
to Company II, which was not a
corporation. Each member would
have to give quit claim deed and
the red tape would tie the armory
up for year or so. Lots across
from the Dream and near the.Dream
are being considered.
