MEMBER or LEGAL DEPARTMENT
OF INTERNATIONAL HARvES-
TER co. SPENDING WINTER IN
DEEP WATER CITY.

J. NJ. Blazer, of the legal department
of the International Harvester Com
pany, who, with Mrs Blazer. has spent
the winter in Pensacola, will leave in q
few weeks for the north one Of the
best boosters the Deep Water City has
ever had. Mr.. Blazers home is in
Chicago, but unless he changes his
mind his winter home in the future
will be in Pensacola.
He is not only pleased with Pensa-
cola as place to live for a season, bur
in talking with a representative %
The Journal yesterday he predicted
that Pensacola would soon become n
port of Importance Railroad facilities,
both for the handling of freight and
passengers are badly needed and just
as soon as they are provided Pensacola
will come into her own.
New Orleans has spent much money
In making her shipping facilities first
class. he says. and the excellent service
given by the Illinois Central carries
through New Orleans annually more
than a million dollars worth of bust
ness from the international Harvester
Company alone. With the new rail-
road facilities and steamship lines OPP
Grating into this port Mr.. Blazer says
he feels certain a large amount will be
handled through this port.
Just at this time the international
harvester people have under consider
alton putting in a warehouse in Pensa- :
cola which will cost probably fifty
thousand dollars. If the building Is
not erected right away he says it will
not be but a short while before ii be-
comes necessary, the development of
this section and the increasing de-
mand for improved machinery and
motive power making it necessary for
the company to handle It's business.
He says agents of the company who
have been over all of Florida say that
West Florida is far superior to the
other sections for agricultural pursuits
and that the farmers here are making
long strides onward in developing their
lands and improving their places.
Mr.. Blazer Is especially pleased with
Pensacola as a winter resort. He says
the winter days have just enough snap
in them to please the northerners who
do not like too much hot weather in
the winter. He likes the parks and
parkways in the city and says Pensa
cola Is 10 be congratulated upon the
success she has made in park improve
ments Everything is here to make 1t
attractive for the northerner, he says,
and there Is no excuse for them stay
ing there through damp, cold winters
when sunshine awaits them In Pensa-
cola.

RAISING for Mr.. Wilson to he kept in

upon certain plank Of the platform

missed his one opportunity 10 give mo
mentary vitality to his candidacy If he
had been as remiss rs Governor Wilson.
Moreover. this platform on which the
and extraordinary platform, prepared
by Colonel Bryan himself. 1t was
adopted after the nomination Of Gov

plan Of Colonel Bryan, in order that il
might fit the candidate. IT was not

but one made 10 measure. II IS some
thing like disrespeCt 10 Colonel BryaN
for the candidate not TO have tried #

The candidate will find it good iii.
For example, there IS not word in II
about the initiative. referendum and
recall. which pr Wilson used 10 instruct
his Princeton classes to deridc and
which Governor Wilson ardcntly de-
cared for. Both Or. Wilson and Gov

NOT WANTED.

After the Chicago convention Colonel
Roosevelt promised that there should be
O third party, if the people wanted one.
1t is now rs clear as day that the people
do not want one. Those for whom the
Republican party Is not sufficiently radi-
cal are satisfied with Wilson. They do
not wish to throw their votes away on n
movement that has no chance Of sue
cess. And the great bulk Of Colonel
Roosevet's Western supporters have no
use for a third party. They want 10
stay Republicans and make the most Of
the colonel's popularity in their states
for their own purposes. They are ready
to support Roosevelt, but only as a fac
ton within the Republican party.
With every day that passes the weak
ness Of the third party movement he
comes more apparent. Its possible fol-
lowers either go over 70 Wilson or they
patch up their quarrels with the Taft
Republicans in their several states for
the sake Of the local offices. IN Maine
the Roosevelt and Taft Republicans will
postpone a ruction at least until after
the state election. There is not much
room for third party in such n situa-
tion as that The Ohio state COnven-
ton has left united party. The Taft
men in control Of the convention offered
the Roosevelt minority the nomination
for the GovernOrship under certain con-
ditiOns as the price Of peace. The terms
were not accepted. But the nomination
finally made was a compromise which
was acceptable to the Roosevelt men and
third ticket is not wanted, at least by
the element in the Republican party
which gave the colonel his delegates to
Chicago. Agreements like this are to be
eXpectcd everywhere. The colonel had
better never issue that postponed call.

BLooMINGDALE SQUARE
A Plea for Retention Of This Name OF
Historic Associations.
A.. ud,,or of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
c,r unite with all true citizens III
hearty anpreciation OF the noble and sener-
ous spIrit which characterized the hVes OF
NJ and Mrs. Straus, and regret their sadly
traoic death. but I'm order to honor their
r,e,rory would not approve OF the city
changing the historic name Of the little
rark ~ 1osth street from Bloomingdale Ia
Straus
Living very near to this pleasant spot
am continually reminded OF the interesting
bit Of history connected with the name ana
the locality
In the early days of the settlement OF
the island OF Manhattan the middle west
section. from 23d street to Claremont, re-
ceived the name OF Bloemen Dael vale or
eowersl from the Dutch town OF that name.
Washington Irving has thus described the
region: The pastoral scenes OF Bloemeh
Dael. which in those early days was a
sweet and rural valley, beautiful with
many "A bright wildnower. refreshed by
many a pure streamet and enlivened mere
and there by a deleCtable little Dutch cot
tage sheltered under some sloping hill and
almost buried iu empowering trees. IN
those days the only access Ia the region
was by water and few farm roads. BY
the law Of I7OB the Road 10 Boomingdale
which traversed the district, was opened
from 23d street and Broadway to ll5th
street and the present Riverside. the road
following mainly the present line OF Broad
way. In 1875 Il was extended TO 1i7th street,
Ploomingdale village centring at 1Dth
street. and this was a favorite suburban
section
The Bloomin gdale square was laid out
I'm 1907 between 33d and 57th streets and
Eighth 10 Ninth avenues, In all about
eighteen acres. but this was closed when
Central Park was established.
After an agitation OF i've years the good
old name was restored to the city by desig-
mating the open space at West End avenue
I6th street. iO7th street and Broadway
Bloomingdalo and so the name should re
main. standing as It does historically and
euphoniously the very first before even
Harlem, Greenwich or Chelsea.
Another worthy reason for the retention
OF the name IL that here on Bloomingdale
heights on this very spot. the only battle
Washington won on this island was fought
and Just west OF the park, In the rear Of
the present Bloomingdale Church (the first
ecclesiastical society organized in Bloom

THE TREASURY'S YEiR.

The Treasury got through the fiscal
year with flying colors. The department
last winter had estimated surplus or
between $1OOOOOOO and S15,GO0,0O0. \
couple of weeks ago The Tribune fore
cast surplus of at least $25.OOOHO'
The excess of receipts over expenditures
o fter the books have been balanced for
khe year Is $36,335, S30-Only $11,OGOWO
below the figures for 1901.
The Treasury did so well because the
appropriations of the Congress preced-
ing this one were held firmly in check
Both branches were then Republican and
in sympathy with the efforts of the Taft
administration to introduce rational
budget system and TO cut off waste IN
Expenditure. The ordinary disburse-
nents for 1901 were 1864, 137 900 and
for 1911-12 were s654,S04,OO0, and the
cost Of running the government In either
OF those years was considerably below
khe cost in 1909-'1O. In the year just
ended the Treasury's ordinary receipts
Yell off a little more than Sl0,OOO,0O0,
half of that decrease being in corpora
lion excise tax collections. Those taxes
FALLING due for the first time in 1910,
some were not paid on or before June 30
of that year, but were sent in after July
1 and included in the totals for 1901.
That accounts for the apparent falling
off.
There would have been no surplus In
the Treasury on July If the tariff bills
passed by the present House Of Repre-
eentatives had become laws. One Of
them-the free sugar bill-would have
cut the annual revenue by from $4,000
600 TO $6O,0O0,OOO. Others would have
made smaller reductions. and only a
buncombe income tax measure was Of
fered by the House to make good an
annual loss TO the Treasury Of from S70,-
100000 to S75.O00,O00
Legislation to deplete the revenue hav-
ing failed, the present Congress has
turned TO increased expenditures as q
means Of creating deficits. BY single
measure-the compromise pension law
the governments annual outlay was en-
larged by about $30.OO0,O0O. There Is
every indication that the appropriations
for 1928 will run far ahead Of those

LIFESAVING TELEGRAPHY.

The international RadiO-Telegraph
Conference has not wasted time nor mis-
conceived the purport Of It's meeting in
giving first place I'm It's deliberations and
findings 10 the saving Of human life. 1t
could scarcely have dolie otherwise, see
ing that il met under the very shadow
Of an unrivalled tragedy in which the
use, the misuse and the neglect of radio
telegraphy were all impressively dis
played. 1t was well to crystalline the
lessons Of the Titanic while they were
still fresh in mind, and If the conference
had done nothing more than that II
would have been abundantly worth
while.
There are other uses to which the sys-
TEN can be put besides lifesaving, and we
may hope tina it will serve them much
more frequently than the latter. But
for lifesavng, both in giving warnings of
dangerous conditions In advance and in
calling for help when vessel has actual
~ fallen into distress, It's value Is unique.
Nothing else can do its work. Radio
telegraphy being the only known method
Of conveying messages to and from ships
in midsea, that phase of its utility com
mands more interest than any other ser
vice Of the new system OF communica-
ton.
1t is an interesting. and doubtless will
prove n helpful, provision that for the
last ten minutes OF each hour every sta.
ton and every ship shall maintain
silence, listening for calls for assistance.
There is n strong appeal to the magma
ton In the picture of the air filled with
flashing messages between ships aud sta
tions, crossing and recrosslng like swal.

after the hour is sounded, and then every
apparatus hushed into silence while for
ten minutes the world listens for some
lone cry for help. The use Of the system
for reporting the character and ten

one Of the first things decided upon by
the conference and which has already
been discussed In these columns. seems
certain to prove Of much value, as the
