Today is Shakespeare's
Anniversary.

Today is the 350th anniversary of
Shakespeare's birth.
To discourse here at. this date OF
the genius of Shakespeare would be
only to promulgate platitude. In the
lofty eulogy of Dryden: HE was the
man who. of all modern and perhaps
ancient poets, had the largest and
most comprehensive soul"
Gruff Ben Johnson wrote of him,
after his death: He was honest, and
Of an open and free nature"
During the past year there has been
a great Shakespearian revival. Not
for many years have the Shakespear-
ian roles been portrayed by so many
prominent American actors and act
resses, and in England, Shakespeare's
plays have been popularize6, il one
may use that term in speaking of the
greatest English dramatist.
The Baconian theory, which at one
time had wide vogue, has been about
exploded. and the death in England of
enc OF the most earnest advocates of
the theory that Bacon wrote Shakes
peare's plays comes at a time when
the whole civilized world is doing
honor to the great master of English
literature.
To Shakespeare all the world was
indeed a stage, and all the people only
players. Like a man before a chess
board he moved his pawns about the
board-klngs or queens, fools or
knaves, whatever they were-and in
whatever habilaments he chose to
dress them, they walked, men and
woman. vital, real, athrob with life,
Through his dramas.
On this anniversary of the Bard of
Avon, when we stand on the eve of a
great epoch IN history, we find no bet

should war with Mexico develop
and Indications are that it wfil-both
the war department and the navy de-
partment will require a place on the
Gulf coast for the mobilization Of
troops and the. concentration OF sup
plies and equipment
The navy department will also need
a station, with such machinery and
facilities as it may be possible to
install there. for the repair of vessels
that can be repaired without going
into dry dock.
Pensacola is the place above all
harbors on the Gulf for the mobiliza-
ton of the army. the concentration
of supplies. and the repair of the ships.
At Fort Barrancas, from 10000 to
10000 men could be easily located and
cared for The site is high, perfectly
drained, and healthful. The drinking
water is pure and abundant. 1t has
communication with Pensacola by rail,
ny water. and by wagon road. 1t has
electric lights and power, telephone
connection, an ice plant, and every
facility for keeping the men happy
and healthy. Troops can embark and
from the Fort Barrancas wharf which
has rail connection with the fort and
with the city of Pensacola. No more
ideal place, from any and every
standpoint, could exist than is found
right now at Fort Barrancas.
At the deep water wharves at Pen
sacola there are wharf warehouses
adequate to hold at one time all the
supplies that will ever be needed for
the prosecution of a war in Mexico.
At the navy yard. the power plant
and machinery already there can be
put into operation on short notice and
additional machinery can be installed
as soon as it can be transported here.
The buildings are al in excellent
shape. 1t is true, there Is no dry dock
AZ the Pensacola yard-thanks to the
negligence and political opposition of
preceding administrations-but neith-
er is there an adequate dock on the
whole Gulf coast. There are many
things to be done, however, that can
he accomplished without putting a
vessel into dock, and these can be and
should be done at the Pensacola yard
IL "REMINISCENCES Hdhe repairs neCeS-
sary.
The rail connections into Pensacola
are adaMnate to handle all of the
troops. equipment, and supplies that
will be needed no matter how serious
the Mexican situation becomes.
These facts should all be presented
to the departments at Washington at
once. Pensacola is to the government
today its most valuable asset on the
Gulf coast as a concentration point for
the army and navy, and Pensacola
should emphasize that fact at WASH
ington.

o'clock this afternoon should be at

RAPID WORK IN

BE LONG IN PORT.

According to the estimates of those
in charge of the work, the steamer
City of Corinth, which is taking a
cargo of steel rails for China, will be
ready for sea about the end of the
week. The vessel is being loaded by
J. A. Merritt & Co, and not the Gulf

into the big matches of the large
steamer, and it will be not later than
Sunday, it was stated, that the yes
sci will be ready to proceed on her
voyage of thousands of miles, going to
the other side of the globe.
The easy manner in which the steel
can be reached was remarked upon

A Change of Tactics.

When The State decided that in it's
opinion John N. c. Stockton was bet
ter fitted to represent Florida in the
United States senate than Duncan U.
Fletcher, because Stockton is a pro-
gressive and Fletcher a reactionary,
it intended to leave the candidates out
of the discussion. contending that
Florida people were entitled to be rep
resented by man in thorough accord
with the progressive movement
throughout the country.
The idea of Fletcher claiming to be
progressive never once occurred to
us.
Now that Senator Fletcher has him
self admitted our contention that Flor
ida ought to have a senator who is not
a reactionary. there is no other course
for us to take than to compare the
two applicants for the position.
No one in Florida will argue for a
moment that John n. c. Stockton is a
reactionary. For thirty years he has
been a leader OF the progressive fac
ton in Florida-he was a fighter for
the people when it took real manly
courage to do so.
In another editorial we have point
ed out a few instances showing con-
clusively that Senator Fletcher is a
reactionary. His record a public of
ffcial brands him a reactionary, and 1t
is unbecoming in him just on the eve
of the primary to attempt to have the
people believe be has been converted
to the progressive principles of gov
ernment.-Jacksonvil State.
