President Wilson and
The Canal Tolls.

1t is unfortunate that democratic
members of congress, who ought to
know better, should now try to de-
moralize the great work of reform in
which President Wilson's adminstra-
ton is engaged by opposing that adj
ministration and breaking down the
influence of the president himself.
Most of this opposition appears to
come from sources that were looking
for an opportunity to get" the pres
ident. The canal toll question furnish
ed the opportunity and President Will
son has now learned who his real sup
porters in congress are.
The democratic platform of 1912 de-
clares for exemption from tolls of
American ships engaged in coastwise
trade passing through the Panama
canal" 1t then makes an opposite
declaration. by opposing "bounties or
subsidies from the public treasury
for the benefit of our merchant ma
rine.
1t is unfortunate that the platform
makers committed this inconsistency.
But 1t would be still more unfortunate
if the democratic administration
should fail to correct the mistake, now
that the issue is up.
Exemption from tolls for American
ships would constitute nothing more
nor less than a ship bounty or sub
sidy," and If there is one particular
principle more than another to which
the democratic party is historically
committed. it is an opposition to ship
subsidies or any other form of spec
ial privilege.
On top of that, when we find that
such tolls exemption is in direct vio
lation of our treaty with Great Bril-
tain calling for equal treatment for
the ships of all nations, a proper re-
gard for an honorable obligation
should dictate but one course.
President Wilson has taken that
course, the American people are with
him. and we believe congress is going
10 sustain him.

AIRCRAFT ARE
PLOTTED OVER
CITY LONG TIME
TWO AERoPLANES WERE VIEW
ED BY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE
WHO WE'RE ATTRACTED BY
THE WHlRR OF THEIR MOTORS.

Two aeToplancs from the only aero
nautical station in the world were pi-
loted gracefully and it appeared lei
surely over the city of Pensacola
proper yesterday afternoon, and We're
viewed for some time by hundreds of
people who were attracted by the
whirring of~their motors and the long
time the two craft remained in the
air.
The aviators had the planes under
perfect control and hundreds were
thrilled at the maneuvers they exc
cuted possibly seven or eight hun
dred feet in the air. The weather was
ideal for even this daring sort of
work. and citizens who had not thus
far had the opportunity of viewing an
airship in the city were rewarded to
their satisfaction during the after
noon. For a long time the two daring
aviators circled over the city, and in
more than one office work was for
gotten for the time being. because of
the daring displayed by the couple of
alrmen. The motors made a din when
the big machines were gracefully sail
cd and turned about in the air, the
sound giving one the impression of a
planning mill in the distance.
At all points of the city were peo-
pie grouped Witnessing the thrilling
sight, and this was more especially
true of the home folks" in the upper
or northern part of the city. who per-
haps, had the clearest view of the
maneuvers. Along the bay front the
sight of the air men at work is not
so unusual, but the resident portion
of the city has thus far not been given
the thrilling treat as was handed
out yesterday afternoon. And until
the maneuvers of yesterday, there was
no attempt to go over the city proper
as was done yesterday afternoon.

kept people and officials at the new
county Jail busy thwarting his at
tempts at suicide. His first attempt
was with safety pin, which he had
used in fastening his clothing. This
was taken from him after he had
scratched his wrists badly. Then he
tried to open his neck veins by the
use of a tobacco box which he had
filched through the bars of his cell.
Thwarted in these two attempt, he
then resorted to a piece of crockery
ware, which he found. Then he start
ed out to butt out his brains. and was
succeeding right we'll in this respect
when TRUSTEES informed Deputy Hoff-
man of his actions.
1t was decided to move him to the
padded cell, where he was all day
yesterday, presenting the appearance
of having passed through a threshing
machine.

Joined the already large number of
vessels here yesterday, while a big
sailing ship went up to quarantine
and will be given pratique today, to
come over to take cargo.
The Norwegian steamer Hermion,e
with part cargo loaded at Galveston
and Port Tampa for Dunkirk, arrived
yesterday and was berthed on the east
side of MusCogee wharf, where several
gangs of timber and lumber men were
kept busy throughout the day. This
is a vessel of 4176 tons, and is one of
gulf ports regularly.
The second arrival of the day was
the German steamship Eric Peterson,
from Cardiff, which was consigned,
like the Hermoine, to John "A. Merritt
& Co, but which will be loaded prin-
cipally if not wholly by the Eitzen-
Touart Company, for ports in Spain.
This steamer was berthed on the ca st
side of Tarragona wharf. where cargo
was worked during the day, and
where the ship will also be worked to-
day by three or four crowds.
The British steamer Magda arrived
from Port Royal. ia, but will not
take cargo at this point. This steam
er was consigned to Cary & Co. and
was sent to quarantine Immediately
upon arrival where pratique was
given late in the afternoon. Capt.
Hanson. one of the deputies in the
harbormasters office, was sent to
quarantine station at 4 o'clock and I'M
der his pilotage the steamer was
brought over to the coal chutes for
supply of bunker.
The sailing ship Niobe was towed
to quarantine in the forenoon and
will probably be released today. This
ship left Rio Janeiro fifty-one days

Olcese. who is in command, is known
among the Italian colony here and will
be given quite a welcome. The Niobe
is a vessel of 1892 tons. which is a
