Cottage Hill. Fla, Sept. s, 1913.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
In last Saturdays issue OF your pa
per / read with much pleasure an
article by Mr.. Anderson of Qutntette.
believe Mr.. Anderson has expressed
the sentiments of all the really pro-
gressive people OF our splendid county
which of course means most OF us.
Escannbia county will hang her head
in shame If she is not represented by a
county exhibit at the Interstate Fair.
To be sure there will be community
and individual exhibits which will, I
am sure, make a splendid showing and
be q credit to those who are putting
in the months of preparation neces-
sary to a really creditabie exhibit But
they are. at most. merely indicative of
what Escambia county could do If she
would.
Did I say sswotld'.7 I should say
had for she should have been busy
months ago. 1t is now too late to get
together a complete exhibit, for that
requires months of the hardest kind of
work for rhe one who has it in charge;
but it is not too late to round UP
good exhibit and say, won't we feel
ashamed if we don't have it? None of
us like to be "has BEEN" we want.
to be UP and doing, but the has
COLLINS "a-gonna git US II we don't
look out"
If I am not mistaken there is a com
rnittee in existence for the promotion
of such effort, and surely if such pro-
gressive citizens as Mr.. Anderson are
willing to use their efforts for so good
a cause this committee can well af-
ford to take upon itself the duties Of
secretary which Mr. Anderson men
tons in outlining his plan.
Mr. Anderson alone cannot make
this exhibit, neither can this commit
tee, but we can-we can kill the bear
but 1t wont be by crawling UP into the
loft while Sal stays below and yields
the poker.
However, There must be central di-
rection as well as CO. operation, and
suggest that this committee secure the
necessary data from the Commercial
Association and get busy. Quite like
~ Mr.. McQuarrie can give them very
material assistance, for I doubt not he
can lay his finger on enough of the
right men throughout the county to do
this thing and then tell them where to
go to get the goods.
Say, let's get in line with everybody
and have an Escambia county exhibit

PRESIDENT OF
ENGINEERS IN
CITY ON VISIT
WILLIAM r. YATES LEFT YEsTER-
DAY MORNING AFTER SPEND
ING SUNDAY IN PENSACOLA ON
OFFICIAL VISIT.

After spending a day IN Pensacola
on an official visit TO the local asso-
citation William r. Yates. president oi
the National Association Of Marine
Engineers, left yesterday morning foI
! Mobile and other points in Florida,
where he will pay similar visits.
The association OF Pensacola held a
session Sunday afternoon when the
members were addressed by President
Taylor. Sunday night banquet was
given IN honor of the prominent visit
or, which was attended by practically
all members OF the association, the
masters and pilots and some invited
guests.
Jas. L. Sweeney acted as toastmas-
ter and welcomed President Taylor in
short address which, in part, follows:
CAS- this Is one Of the occasions on
which we all have the pleasure of
greeting our national president person
ally, it is also a proper moment to re-
view our past experience as members
of this great organization and to look
back over the years that have elapsed
since first we organized NJ. E. B. A.
No. 81. Personally take great pride
in the fact that ! was charter mem
with the post of corresponding secre-
tary. We all remember the laxity in
which the inspection laws were applied
to conditions then existing in this port,
resulting often in great injustice to
the engineer, as well as subjecting the
lives of innocent persons to hazard on
account of steam vessels being oper
ated undermined and often by in
competent persons performing the du-
ties of licensed officers.
TT was in 1891, just twenty-five
years ago. that a charter was granted
for the organization of NJ. e. B. A No.
81. 1t was through the efforts of this
association, backed by the national or
ganizatien, that the many reforms
that are in common practice today
were brought about. The benefits of
organization have resulted not only in
good to ourselves, but in safety and
security to the thousands who travel
on steam vessels.
The duties which dexolve on The
marine engineer are many, and are in
creasing so as time passes, and it is
necessary that he prepare himself to
