Send the Military
Bows TO Washington.

The Journal made the suggestion a
few days ago that Pensacola's military
companies should represent the Deep
Water City at the inauguration of
President Wilson. We had q dual mo-
tive in doing so. They deserve the
trip and it will advertise Pensacola.
There is not a city In this country
that is attracting more attention at the
present time than Pensacola It is a
city whose possibilities have been
broadened by the efforts of her own
ambitious citizens
This city has always taken an
especial pride in her military COM
I,anies and on more than one occasion
they have been called upon to demon
strate their true worth and they have
always acquitted themselves as SOL
niers.
IN a spirit Of appreciation for their
services would 1t not be the gracious
thing to do-give them a trip to Wash
lngton? II this is done Pensacola will
have worthy representation on this oc-
sasIon.

Senator Bailey's Bid
for Rich Clients.

Senator Bailey's widely heralded
swan song-or to be exact, his dying
political gasp-will no doubt have the
exact effect intended by the brilliant.
though discredited, Texan.
Ostensibly a defense of what SEN
resentative government and an appeal
to the people to have none of that
principle Of government contemplated
by the initiative, referendum, and re-
call, the address really appears to be
the senator's last public play for the
favor of those great interests which he
hopes to have as clients in the practice
of his profession.
The Montgomery Advertiser with
characteristic avidity for every argu-
ment combating the extension Of pop
uiar government thinks the Bailey
speech should be distributed in pam
phiet form to ten million voters. 1t
would have the effect, thinks the Ad-
vertiser, of staying the progress Of
those heretical policies which are cal
culated to give the people control of
their own government.
Our contemporary is mistaken. Sem
ator Bailey had no idea that his ad-
dress would influence anyone in oppo-
sition to the policies which he de-
nounced. He was making himself
solid with those interests from whom
he expects to collect attorneys fees
in private practice.
AS matter OF fact, IL his address
has any effect at all. it will be to
stimulate the friends OF popular gov
ernment to greater energy. No one of
them would change his opinion on
such subject because Of the sophistry
of man in whose political pretensions
he already had no faith.
The idea that the people cannot be
trusted to vote direct on both men and
measures. when they desire to do SO,
is a relic Of monarchy. It has no
place in a government of, for, and by
the people. The Baileys and the AL
driches and the Montgomery Adver-
tisers may storm and protest, but
popular government will still keep step
with the march of progress In other
avenues Of human endeavor.
And one thing that is doing more
than anything else to bring the gov
ernment and the people closer together
is the opposition and personnel of the
forces opposed to 1t.

Let Them Spend
Their Money.

A dispatch from Newport says that
threatening letters have been received
by prominent members Of Newport So
ciety, those to Mr.. and Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt being IN regard 10 the costly
mask ball which they gave at their
Newport villa Dire happenings were
threatened unless the multimillionaire
and his wife ceased spending such
large amounts for entertaining. The
Oelrichs received letters Of the same
character.
Assuming for the moment that
anonymous writer's Of threatening let
ters are capable Of reasoning, what
could they expect these multimillion-
aires to do with their money!
Put 1t away in a sock?
Hold to it. and get richer and richer?
Or should it go out into the hands Of
people who are willing to have it in
exchange for work?
Every dollar OF the countless thou
sands spent on Newport receptions
goes to Trade and Labor. who warmly
welcome It.
Perhaps, according 10 some stand
ards Of Judgment these multimillion-
aires throw away their money. But,
even so, they can only throw 1t back
into circulation.
The florists, the bakers and every
other business man and working man
who get part of these thousands, di-
rectly or indirectly. must feel that this
money was no more thrown away than
is any other money that passes through
the regular channels of legitimate trade
and labor.
Would that they were spending mil
lions instead Of tens of thousands!

Government Should Own
the Telegraph.

More than twenty years ago, John
Wanamaker, then postmaster general
advocated four things-rural free de-
livery. q parcels post. a postal savings
hank. and government telegraph.
All but the last Of these three have
now become realities. It is true the
postal savings bank and the parcels
post are not the best that could be
established nor are they the best that
viii later be adopted, but they are at
least IN progress of development and
we may look for continued improve
ments.
The government telegraph alone is
the only one Of the great wanamaker
projects that has not yet been adopted.
but even that, just year ago. was ad-
gvocated by Postmaster General Hitch
cock. It is true that President Taft
was quick to announce that Mr.. Hitch
cocks Recommendation was not author
lied by him, but that did not break
the force of Mr.. Hitchcocks argument
il favor of this very desirable govern
ment enterprise.
IN a recent interview, Mr. Wanna
maker again advocates government
ownership of the telegraph and he esti-
mates that, on the basis of the present
rates. the telegraph would pay for
itself in four years.
This is a remarkable estimate and
will no doubt be questioned by many
but even though Mr.. Wanamaker may
be unduly optimistic regarding the
profits OF the government telegraph,
there is no reason why the government
should not own and operate It.
In the great countries Of Europe, the
government telegraph has been in sue
cessful operation for years and the
people have prof1ted by low rates and
good service.
No one will dispute the fact that the
transmission Of intelligence by mail is
a very proper and necessary govern
mental function. No one would for a
minute advocate the turning over of
the post office department to a private
corporation.
But if it is proper, desirable. and
necessary for the government to trans
NIT intelligence by the slow process OF
the mails. why is it not equally proper.
desirable, and necessary for the gov
ernment to do the same thing by the
modern and quicker process of the
telegraph?
The government ownership and
operation of the telegraph is going to
be one of the next big questions OF
public policy. The American people
are waking up.

Waltham, Mass, Jan. Ito pre-
serve the trophies of many a hard
fought naval victory and to save from
destruction by moth and age the stars
and stripes that waved over victorious
Yankee ships Of war, Mrs. Amedia
Fowler, of Waltham, has been selected
by the government to supervise the ex-
penditure of $4,000, recently appropri-
ated by congress for the preservation
of the collection of historical battle
flags now in storage at the naval acad-
envy in Annapolis.
Some of these flags were taken in
battle as long as century ago. 9th
ers are OF historical value because of
the world famous seaf1ghters over
whose battles they waved. All OF these,
numbering 1S6, are now almost de-
stroyed by the ravages of time and the
inroads of the ubiquitous moth.
Many Famous Flags.
In the collection there is the battle
flag used as a signal for opening fire
at the battle of Lake Erie. Another
is British royal standard, captured at
York, Canada, in 1913, by squadron
under Commander Chauncey. The en-
sign taken on the Alert in 1912 by
Captain David Porter is one of the
most interesting flags in the collection.
Other notable standards that are fast
going to rack and ruin are the flags
flown by the Spanish squadron in the
battle of Manila Bay, the flag OF the
governor general of the Philippine
Islands, taken by Admiral Dewey, in
1898. and the ensign hoisted in Japan
by Commodore Perry at the time Of his
interview with the Japanese commits
sioners at Urga, in 1854.
The deplorable condition of the old
flags was not known until the great
wooden boxes in which they are stored
were opened in the spring Of 1911. It
was discovered that, besides the nat
ural decay of age, the moths had got
in and had eaten many of the flags
to shreds. Commander W. c. Cole of
the academy Immediately began a
search for someone who knew how to
save the valuable relics In his care. The
The Smithsonian Institute was con-
suited. but TO no purpose.
Mrs. Fowler Recommended.
Then the curator Of flags at the Mas
sachusetts state house was asked 70
offer some suggestion as to the best
method of bringing the precious tro-
! phies bacg to a sembdanee of their
former strength and beauty. Former
Governor Curtis Guild. Jr., hearing OF
The Pensacola journal., 1913-01-12

the urgent need Of an expert, at once
recommended Mrs. Fowler, and the
government requested nat she exam
inc the tattered flags AID make some
estimate, If possible, of the expense re-
quired to place the damaged fabric in
such condition that til colors might
again be stated and place on exhi-
bition.
Although the Offices Of the naval
academy considered $4,000 sufficient to
perform the task, Ms. Fowler, after
carefully examining ach of the 1876
flags, fixed the minimum at $4,000. She
based her estimate upon the probable
time required by a cops of experienced
seamstresses to perform the work un-
der her direction at ne daily wage Of
$12S.
Mrs. Fowler insisted that the only
method practicable n the restoration
of the flags would b. that used in the
making of the Bayaaux tapestries by
the Duchess Of Burgundy more than
1000 years ago. ThiI method is known
today by no one but Mrs. Fowler, and
1t was by this process that she made
practically indestrrctible the many
stands of colors that are now shown in
the hall Of flags in the Massachusetts,
state house.
The fame Of Mrs. Fowier's work
hitherto has been pnfned to Massa-
chusetts, where rskill has made the
collection of battle flags at the state
house one of the most remarkable of
its kind in the word.
Some Things She Has Done.
Originally the work was taken up as
pastine, but her skill could not be
long unknown. Al first her attention
was given entirely to the making of
new flags and banners. She has en-
broidered colors for every state regi-
ment and the Andent and Honorable
Artillery, besides many banner for civil
bodies. An original stitch has enabled
her to place a design on one side of
piece Of silk differett from the de-
sign on the other side. She revived a
method Of work that vas supposed to
have been lost
The flags already hnade by Mrs.
Fowler are embroidered upon white
silk imported from FTance at a cost of
SIC a yard. The embroidery silk was
made in the United states especially
for the purpose and was subjected II
every known test for fast coIorng.
Military shades have been used. The
coat Of arms OF the state has been
followed exactly.
