INDEPENDENT ELECTORS,
The movement to have alder.
men elected as Independents is a
move in the right direction.
There is no more sense in elect
ing an alderman because he is "a
Democrat or Republican than
there is in electing him because
he happens to be Methodist, an
Odd Fellow, an Elk or an A. P. A.
The main thing is that he be
an honest man who will faith
fully represent the people and not
sell them out. Ofcourse it will
help some if he has some brains.
But the party thing is bunk.
There's a great hullaballoo be-
tween Democrats and Repub-
Leans during the campaign, but
YOU can't tell the difference. be-
tween them afterthey are elected.
There are honest men in all
parties, and there are crooks in
all parties; and the real differ
ence between aldermen is as to
the kind of men they are. What
party they belong to cuts no fig
ure at all, so far as the people are
concerned.

DAYToNA WAKES TO THE
IMPORTANCE OF COAST CANAL
Sends Delegation Urging That the st.
Johns River Route Be Not
Used.

Jacksonville.-The first expression
of interest on the subject of an in
land canal down the east coast coming
from any Florida city south of Jack
sonville was received at the office Of
the corps of United States engineers
in this city, when a delegation from
Daytona arrived to urge on Major Stat
terry the Importance of a canal down
the coast, instead of through the St.
Johns river as has been proposed.
Heretofore, it is said, the cities along
the east coast of Florida have striven
only for a deep water harbor at their
door, but now, seeing that this is i'm
possible because of the cost and the
lack of commerce to justify at each
Of the places desired, they have turn
ed their attention to canal along the
inner coast which will allow the gath
ering of produce and freight all along
the coast to be delivered at certain
points when deep water harbors are
established there.
The delegation consisted of Charles
S. Burgman, chairman; E. H. Shoe
maker, E. L. Gum, John A. Kelley
and H. l. Hamilton.
These gentlemen also attended the
session of the inland waterways con-
vention and showed much interest In
the proceedings.

ASSISTANT SECRETARY
VISITS PENSACOLA YARD.
Announced That 300 Marines Would
Be Sent There in February of
Next Year.

Pensacola.-Assistant Secretary of
the Navy Franklin d. Roosevelt in
spected the Pensacola navy yard, and
departed for Key West, continuing
his tour of inspection of the gulf navy
yards.
Arriving in the city, the assistant
secretary put in a busy day, being
shown the immense naval reservation
of 1900 acres, and the fully equipped
navy yard with its buildings and the
plants that are valued at 100000.
In his informal talks. with the COM
mittee he told the members that the
yard would be- the scene of some ac-
tivity during the winter months, and
that considerable work would be done
there. He also stated that Pensacola
would be officially designated as the
marine base of the gulf coast and near
ly one thousand marines would be
sent here early in the year to be fol-
lowed by fully as many more few
months later. Talking of, the yard
and the prospects he said:
"The grass will be kept cut, the
grounds clean, the buildings and gen.
eral equipment painted, and | am sure
the presence of human beings in the
buildings will do them good.
"The use of the yard this winter,
although limited, possibly, will put the
machinery and in fact everything at
the, yard in better order.
81 am very much pleased with the
good condition in which | find the
buildings and machinery. The secre-
tary told me before left Washington
that l might announce positively that
so marines will arrive in Pensacola
and be quartered here after the last
of February or early in March
"They will come here as soon as
the Guantanamo exercises are finish
ed. This will be one-half of the ad-
vance base expedition to come here.
can announce definitely that this will
be the official base for all Atlantic
feet destroyers' shaking down peri
DDS" continued Mr.. Roosevelt.
Whenever a new group of torpedo
boat destroyers is launched, the
boats will come here for their try-outs
before joining the feet. This has been
decided by the department because the
United States has no harbor that is
so we'll fitted for torpedo boat work
and mine planting practice. This is
an ideal place for what it will be
used in future. This will call for some
work to be done here. But there is
not as much need for navy yards now
as there used to be.
Eight destroyers will be here short
ly for drill work in this harbor. A
craving dock will come later. We do
not have as much use for a dry dock
here now as at some of the Atlantic
ports. OF course, we would like to
have dock at every port where
there is a yard if We could afford it,
There are strategic reasons for devel.
oping the various yards along the diff
ferent lines contemplated"

TRANS FLORIDA
CANAL IS COMING
COMMERCE NOW DEMANDS A
BUILDING - REPORTED AID.
VERSELY-lN 1873.
PROPOSED ST. MARY'S ROUTE
Hon. Stephen sparkman Tells Of Riv.
ers and Harbors Work Done by
Congress.

Jacksonville.-At. session of the
Atlantic Inland Waterways Association
Hon. John H. Small of North Carolina
touched on the most interesting thing
for Florida on connection with the
inland waterways movements.
Showing how the whole country is
mutually interested in the project to
build a waterway within the coast line
from Maine to Florida, he stated that
the canal across the state, as proposed
years ago, must be built.
When the favorable report of the
engineers was rendered in 1878. he
said congress refused to take up the
work because the commerce of the
country did not need it. Now, the
opening of the Panama canal places
the Florida peninsula in the light Of an
obstruction to speedy reaching this
canal with the result that a trans
state canal must be built.
The old st. Marys river to the SUI
wannee river canal, as proposed, he
said, is the best that has ever been
considered, for it is patent that to be
Of any real value to commerce the ca
nal finally built must cross the north
ern end Of the peninsula.
He is sure that within few years
the nation itself will have made such
demand for this canal, that congress
will take hold actively and the work
be done.
Not a barge canal, but ship canal,
to be used in connection with the Pan
anna canal to shorten by thousands of
miles the route from the Atlantic
great Northern ports to the Pacific
shores of North and South America,
he declares will be what will be
built.
