Federal Publicity Bureaus
Doing Good Work.

discusses a subject which was raised
in congress the other day in the fol-
lowing very explicit terms:
Representative Humphrey of Wash
ington rose in the house a few days
ago to view with alarm the publicity
bureaus" supposed to exist in the de-
partment of agriculture. The bureaus,
he charged. were distributing under
frank, without warrant of law news
matter" to the American press. In
support OF his charges he put into
the Record copies of several bulletins
that had come to his notice. One of
these dealt with the winter work of
the Federal foreSters: another sum-
married. an address delivered by an
officer of the Forest Service before a
state Forestry Association: a third
described plan to give farmers crop
news by telegraph" a fourth described
the methods of discriminating cock
reaches" The Washington statesman
complained that this news service cost
he government 100000, and was Moth
ing more nor less than. a scheme for
exploitation" Of the various bureaus
engaged N it. The bulletin upon cock
reaches was singled out for particular
mention and attack
This newspaper does not pretend to
know whether the bureaus send out
these bulletins for self exploitation.
We do not pretend to say that all of
them are worth printing, nor can we

No Navy Yard On
the Gulf Coast.

The inevitable has now happened.
The United States navy has been or
dered to assemble in gulf waters, a
conflict is possible, ships may as re-
suit require quick repairs either large
or small, and there is not a navy yard
within three thousand miles where a
modern war vessel can be locked or
overhauled.
more important now than at any other
point on the American coast line. The
Gulf OF Mexico, because of the world
interests which are involved In the
Panama canal trade and in the terri
tory contiguous to the gulf and the
caribbean sea, must be the battle
Ground Of the future in event Of war.
Yet with this fact, plain and patent,
airing the world in the face, the
rited States has continued to squan-
der money on North Atlantic navy
yards while the gulf coast has been
neglected and practically abandoned
On this subject the Montgomery Ad-
vertiser of yesterday said:
The political stupidity which closed
up the Southern navy yards now seems
criminal, as the menace of war with
Mexico grows into a certainty. The
navy yards at Pensacola and New Or
leans were closed during the long
reign in power of the Republican party,
between 1896 and 1912. Why? Be
cause the South was Democratic and
therefore had no political influence
with the washington government. The
money, men and improvements, which
the government provided at navy yards
had to go to ports from which some
political influence could be expected.
Common sense should have taught
those in authority that all the trouble
to be expected by the United States
would come from the South. Common
sense should have taught those in
power that the ports nearest the Pan =
anna canal, now a vital factor in our
government, should be prepared, made
ready and used as bases of supplies by
the American government. The I'M
4 settled countries of the world are the
countries south of us. The civilized
world looks to the United States to
keep these countries under restraint.
Cuba. Central America, Mexico and the
South American countries have all had
in Sheir domestic relations potential
tiles OF war with the United States
But the Southern navy yards were shut
up, and the gulf ports were ignored
The three ports nearest the mouth of
the Panama canal. and nearest the
amending sources of trouble in South
ern waters are Mobile, Pensa cola and
New Orleans. Events are ruthless in
exposing folly. These ports must be
looked to in the future, as the door
ways out OF which the might and
strength of the American government
will issue to uphold Its responsible
tiles in the troubled countries to the
south of us.
The first thing 20 be done for the
gulf coast IS to establish here grav
ing dock ADEQUATE 20 handle vessels
OF the largest class. Pensa cola is of
course the best suited harbor OF the
gulf for that purpose.
It will take two or three years to
Install such a dock, but that fact
should not be made ar excuse for
any unnecessary delay. The dock and
a first class repair station should have
been provided long ago and work look
ing to their establishment now should
begin at once.

In Service Seventeen Years.

June IS, and he succeeds the late Capt.
VIM. A. Hutchings.
In Service Seventeen Years.
Captain Phillips has been in the ser
vice of the United States as a life
saver for seventeen years. OF this time
he has served eight years as keeper of
the Galveston station, succeeding Cap
tain J. F. Aim. Captain Phillips was
born in Jackson county, Fla, in 1875,
his early sea training being attained
as bar pilot and in the state quar-
antine service of Florida.
His first station of duty as a life
saver was at Pensacola, Fla, at the
Santa Rosa station. Attracted to the
service through his love for the sea,
his exceptional ability and skill gained
the attention of his superiors and he
rapidly rose in the ranks to No. 1
surfman. From that position he was
advanced to keeper of the station at
Sabine, and in 1906 he was transferred
to Galveston.

Cannon claimed a foul in the sec
