A Strange Statement.
{ 1T. Albaus Messenger.

In Mr.. Thompson letter to the
Maine chairman there is a statement
that excites interest. II is where the
Vermont chairman gives thanks to
Judge T. w Gibson, who is ''our can
didate for Congress from the second
district. This is a most remarkable
statement when it is considered thar it
IS uttered in letter of Thanksgiving
over the victory of the direct primary.
One will find. il difficult to understand
how the rrogressives have determined
upon II candidate since as vet there has
neither been a primary election nor q
convention. Frankly, if Republican
or Democrat had been announced hv his
party : leader Is the next candidate
there would hc howl 20 up about de-
priving the people of the right to
ehoese their own candidates. Why
should it bc any different if the Pro
2rcssives DO the same! Is theirs SIM
rly lip service to the high ideals they
affect to stand for!

Why NOT CART THE SNOW AWAY.
Accumulation Of Three Shows Makes
Dirty Streets.

Probably because there is no con-
tingent fund for such thing is the
reason the snow is permitted TO lie in
niles Of some three feet in the streets
ell over town.
Money is appropriated for street
cleaning. This usually means dirt,
bnt snow is dirt after il lies ou the
ground for weeks. There is now an
accumulation of three SHOWS in the
streets. Residents are compelled. to
clean their sidewalks, but the ques
tion is asked why doesn't the city
clean its streets. The snow is an eye
sore and is the unhealthy sccumula-
tion of dirt and germs, as it IS the
result of three snowfalls.
1t does appear that carting away
this snow is as much OF a necessity
as earting away the street dirt, and
If there IS not enough money for do
ing this, the necessary sum should
be appropriated. Certainly some
money must have been saved, as the
street-cleaning force have mad 10
streets to clean for weeks, except
snow from crossings.

Annapolis, Nd. March 10, 1914.
The Evening Capital:
Messrs. Editors-In this evening s
edition of your paper noticed with
pleasure the notes Of the recent meet
ing Of the City Council where the
same established ordinances in favor
Of and with regard to cement pave
ments for the city sidewalks. This
is indeed a forward step, but why,
Messrs. Editors, should the city wait
for the future7 Why not 90 step
further and provide cement sidewalks
over the city nowf This could be ae-
complished at the present time by the
cooperation Of the property owners
and the city. The time is ripe and over
ripe for Annapolis to make this most
needed improvement.
The City Council also passed an or
dinanee authorizing loans for its use
and by the old adage that a bird in
the hand is worth two in the bush,
such an action. would certainly pay IN
the end. If the city should pay half
the cost, ! am sure the property own
ers would do their part For IL Is not
only visitors to the city, but the resi-
dents themselves who experience the
pleasure Of lodging sunken bricks and
holes on 365 days in the year. And
on rainy days and nights the condi-
tion is worse than deplorable. it is a
disgrace as well. Here Annapolis,
the capital of the State, as we'll as
the seat of st. Johns College and
the Naval Academy, has pavements
which would not do credit 20 an out
lying country town anywhere ex-
cept Annapolis.
II the finances of the city prevent
the whole city's being relaid, why
then relay the business section and
the sections adjacent TO the railroads
and docks. Even the disgrace ful
pavement of Market Space, with its
cobblestones, Is good compared 70
some of the sidewalks. So, in the in
terest of the community, Messrs.
Editors,I ask you'll plead with you 70
call the attention, in bold type on
the front page of The Capital, Of the
City Fathers, the Chamber OF Com
merce and the Civic League, TO this
affair and perhaps then, but not un-
til then, can we begin TO cast off the
shawl OF the sleeping city of Amer
lea. Maybe then we will be able to
inGuce more desirable residents here.
Maybe then, indeed. can we lay
claim to something more than "his-
toric inte rest" and GLORIOUS past. +"

MONSTER BbTTLESHIP
LEAVES ITS BUILDERS
Most Powerful Sea Fighter Was
be Turned Over to Admiral
Usher Thursday.
BATIERY 0F l4.INCH GUNS.
The Texas Makes 222S Knots Her
Eariaii Mile.

All really for fight or frolic, the
giant superdreadnsught Texas, most
powerful battleship afoat in the
world, left the yards of her builders
at Newport News, on Thursday, the
Newport News Shipbuilding Com
pany for the Norfolk navy yard, dis
tant only few miles. there to be
turned over 10 Rear Admiral Usher,
commandant OF the Norfolk station.
The vessels officers and crew had
been assembled, so that she was ready
to be placed officially in commission
imme diately after being turned over
by the builders TO the authorized gov
srnment re preventative. The dread
naught was launched at Newport
News almost two years ago, Miss
Claudia lyon, daughter Of Col Cecil
A. Lyon, of Texas, doing the honors
u the occasion.
This monster of the sea carries as
its principal fighting equipment a
battery of ten 14-inch guns, being the
first warship in the world to bs At
Ted out with guns Of such large cali
Der, and in addition has in its main
battery twenty-one 5-inch guns. Since
the l4-inch guns were placed on t-e
Texas, a Japanese battlesip has been
suipped with similar sized ones, al
though 15.5-inch guns are the largest
which have yet been placed Or any
British dreadnaught.
The big guns on the Texas are ar
ranged in FIVE turrets all on a central
line from stem to stern, and are so
placed that they can be fixed over
each other. In length the fighter is
578 feet with a beam 95 feet IL
inches, so that in passing thr ugh the
Panama canal locks she would have
almost fifteen feet TO spare.
Although her designed speed was
twenty-one knots, in her trial OF the
Maine coaat last October, she did her
fastest milei 1928 knots. She has
4 displacement Of $1,000 tons, a
horsepower Of $4,000 and draws %
feet 6 inches Her armor belt is IL
inches thick. Twin screw vertical,
triple expansion engines send the
steel-plated terror sizzling through
the seas.
The contract price of the vessel
for bull and machinery was 1880, p
600, but with armament added the
total cost was swelled by several mil
lions. A sister ship, the New York,
which also is rapidly approaching
completion, is now in course Of con-
struction at the New York navy yard.

''The President and Mrs. Wilson an

Eleanor Wilson will be the fourteenth
