1T WAS EXPECTED

The anxiously awaited announce
ment of Jim Moorhead for tax as
SCISSOR appears in the Star today.
For the last three campaigns, or
has it been four or five? Jim Moor
head has added to the joy of nations
and prevented ALT Aver from accum-
ulating too much adipose tissue, by
running for tax assessor. ALT has
never expected Jim to win, and
sometimes people wonder if Jim ex-
poets to win, but he runs regular and
has become an inseparable part of
Marion county politics.
Jim is an ideal candidate. He does
not abuse ALT nor promise to do bet
ter work if elected. He doesn't hand
out any bosh about his desire to
serve the dear people. He frankly
says that he wants the office, and he
thinks his friends know him we'll
enough to know he will do the work
we'll if he obtains it.
The people have come to expec,
him to be candidate, and we rather
think ALT expects it, too. Jim and
ALT are chums in the campaigns

OLD SHIPS PASSING AWAY

The Savannah News has the fol-
lowing regarding an old sailing yes
sci. which is we'll known in Florida
ports:
After undergoing temporary re-
pairs at the Sea board Air Line ter
minals, the old American bark Nor
mandy. Capt. DeBhur, sailed yester-
day for Boston on what may be her
last voyage under the power of her
own sails.
Battered and beaten by the seas
that she had fought successfully for
more than thirty years, the Nor
mandy limped into port about a
month ago leaking badly. She was
assisted to harbor by the tug, VIM
F. McCauley. Upon her arrival, her
master told thrilling tale of a bat
tie of five days with a strong north
easter, with water pouring into her
hold so rapidly that her engines
could not cope with it.
Though Capt. DeBhur, when he
left with the old bark, had been Civ
en- no intimatien of what is to be
done with her after she arrives at
her home port, it is believed that the
Normandy is now sailing the seas for
the last time under her own power.
She is of the old, square-rigged type
and many of her kind, built even in
| later years, have been cut down and
converted into coal-carrying barges
With her four tall masts sweep
ing the sky, her square, white sails,
| bellying from the cross-arms and her
long, slender bow-sprit reaching out
| over the sea, the Normandy was
| typical of forty years ago when she
passed out of the mouth of the Sa-
| vannah river yesterday and pointed
her nose to the north.
| There are only a few such vessels
as the Normandy now III commission
| Hundreds of them have gone down
in storms that have swept this coas,
and others during the last twenty
years and have been replaced by
schooners and steamers. Most OF
those that outlived their usefulness
as sailing vessels have been cut
down and are now being used a.
cargo-carrying barges. towed by sea
going tugs.
| With the sailing of the Normandy
Savannah has probably been the las
of the old square-rigged ships. Time
| was when shipbuilders spent hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in thu
careful construction of these great
romantic vessels, but the scarcity o
men to handle them properly and tn,
greater safety and speed of steam
ships has sounded their death-knel
and that time is no more.

PRESERVING PARTY AND
NATIONAL PRINCIPLE

The Atlanta Journal sums up the
subject of the repeal of the canal
tolls exemption bill to suit the Star
when it says:
emption is a question of party prin-
ciple as well as national honor
1t is the duty of Congress as
whole, regardless of political divis-
ions, to respect an international
treaty; it IS peculiarly the duty of
democrats who are responsible for
government to respect such treaty
and to remain loyal to their party's
faith and tradition.
Special favor to the coastwise
shipping monopoly in the form of ex-
emption from payment of canal tolls
is contrary to the purpose and spirit
rof the democratic party, and, as the
president declares, it is counter to
the expressed will of the democratic
majority in Congress. When the
question of canal regulations first
came before Congress, the House
committee, under Democratic con-
troll. reported a bill placing a toll of
a dollar and twenty cents a ton on
all ships passing thru the canal. An
effort was made to secure exemption
for coastwise shipping, but the dem
ocrats of the committee held that no
because, in the first place, our gov
eernment had pledged itself under the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty that the canal
should be open to commerce of all
nations ION terms Of entire equality"
and because, in the second place, no
such exemption was needed, coast
wise shipping being already the
most highly protected special indus
try in the United States.
Unfortunately, however, the good
Judgment of the committee did not
then prevail When the bill came
before the House, and amendment
grating tolls exemption to the spec
iaa interest was introduced and pass
al by the combined support of the
republicans and a minority of dem
cerats. But the great majority of the
democratic House voted against the
exemption clause.
Thus, the president is going the
way of the majority in his own party
when he urges the repeal of the OBJ
-Iectionable clause.
The fact that the platform adopt
I'D in the hurried eleventh hour OF
rhe Baltimore convention, without
debate or consideration, contains {
sentence or two approving free tolls
Is certainly not so important as the
record of the democratic majority il
rAe House who acted upon common
counsel and after mature thought.
The truth is the tolls exemption
plank is simply a stray republican
doctrine that was slipped into TIL
Baltimore platform either thru hug
ger-mugger, or inadvertancy. 1t i

more binding upon democratic lead

AMBASSADORS UTTERANCES

A great deal of fuss has been made
over speech by Walter Page, am
bassador to Great Britain, at ban
quet in Lonson some weeks ago. Mr..
Page made talk which was full of
goodwill to the people of Great Brit
he expressed anything contrary to
the dignity of the United States.
This is what he said:
Il will not say that we construct
ed the Panama canal even for you.
For | am speaking with great frank
ness and not with diplomatic indi-
rectness. We built it for reasons of
our own But will say that it adds
to the pleasure of building that great

say a similar thing about the recent
lowering of our tariff. We did not
lower it in order to please you. 1t
was for purposes that We considered
economically sound for ourselves.
Nevertheless it added to the
pleasure of doing that to reflect that
thereby we should have more trade
| with you. Concerning the recent
message of the president, l take it
upon myself, on my own response
bility, to say this: He delivered that
measure not to please you but to ex-
press the true sentiment and self
respect of the American nation. As
l interpret it his was the voice of the
people. Nevertheless it adds to the
pleasure of hearing that voice to
know that it does please YOU"
The portion referring to the Mon.
