Pensacola a Naval Base

Pensacola is fast regaining its form
er Importance as naval base, and
there are even indications that it will
in the near future assume an emil
hence 1t never attained before. The
latest thing in that line is that the
naval authorities have ordered the
stationing there of the battleship
Mississippi as a floating base for the
naval aeronautical corps. The ship

Representative Underwood's
Prediction of Prosperity.

Democratic Leader Underwood, in
the national house of representatives,
Tuesday made the prediction that the
greatest era of prosperity in the his
tory of the country was now about to
dawn. He predicted that within a
year the splendid results of demo-
cratic legislation would be apparent
and would lead to great prosperity.
There is good reason to believe that
Mr.. Underwood knows what he Is talk
ing about. He is in a position to feel
the pulse of the people, and he is
perhaps as well-posted on business
conditions as any man in the country.
He has had the ear of the business in
terests Of the country for some time,
and his prediction of great prosperity
means more than the same sort OF
predictions would mean from any
other man in the country.
The rebuke made by Mr. Underwood
of those republicans who have now
become regular calamity howlers and
birds of ill-omen," was timely and

PRESIDENT CONFERs ON THE
PROPOSED TRUST LEGISLATION

Washington. Jan. 14.-President VIII
son conferred today with congressional
leaders on trust legislation. He talked
in the forenoon with Chairman New
lands and democrats of the senate in
terstate commerce committee and re-
served the late afternoon for a second
conference with Chairman Clayton and
democrats Of the house judiciary COM
mittee.
To the latter committee the presi
dent had given a preliminary outline
Of his ideas before congress recessed
three weeks ago. The president was
prepared today to discuss specific
points.
So far as possible it is the intention
Of the administration to obtain from
these committees bills upon which they
are all agreed and before the measures
covering the desired field are intro
duced, it is the presidents hope that
he may be consulted and that the bills
will be launched with the stamp of
the administration approval as was the
case with the tariff and currency.

deserved. 1t i1l-becomes good citizens
to try to bring on financial troubles
merely that some political party might
profit thereby. It is unfortunately
true that there are some republicans
in both branches of congress who
would really be glad to see the country
go to the demnition bow-wows, If this
would lead to the success of their
decaying party and the overthrow of
the democratic party. The country
should have no patience with these
desirers of disaster. They are not true
patriots; they are really enemies to
their own government and ought to
be condemned.
People everywhere, who are not bit
ter partisans, are predicting great
things for the country as soon as 1t
can adjust itself to the workings of
the new tariff law and 10 the cur
rency enactment. 1t takes time for
this Most of the goods that are now
being offered for sale in this coun-
try were purchased under the high
tariff law. 1t will take a year or two
for the real benefits to be received,
and then they will be received by the
masses and not by the classes.
The same can be said OF the cur
rency bill. It will be some time yet
before regional banks are established,
and Of course, the mere enactment
of the law is not to be taken as a
test. 1t must be put to work, and
then it will take some time for the
country to get accustomed to it's pro-
visions. But in the next year or two,
if the crops continue good, there will
be the greatest prosperity the country
has ever known and the best part of
it will be that it will be permanent.
The Wilson administration is build
ing on a firm basis, for the future,
and Mr. Underwood is unquestionably
justified in his predictions of great fu-
ture prosperity.

FRIDAY. JANUARY Is, 1914.
The New Express Rates.
Not What They Seem.

The express companies are advertis-
ing some new rates, effective Feb. /,
by the order of the interstate com
merce commission, which constitute a
reduction of almost so per cent on
small packages. The weights of these
packages run from s to 20 pounds
This cut in rates is a very gratifying
one, but as it affects only those ship
ments which the parcel post is now
carrying at equally as low rates. it is
not of material benefit to the public.
There is, however, another side to
the rate question which is not being
advertised. That is the raise in rates
on large packages. An illustration of
that increase in rate is found in one
classification, viz; fish.
Pensacola does big fish business
and the express companies receive
many thousands of dollars annually
from the fish shipments out of this
city. Here is a comparison of the old
shipments in barrels from Pensacola:
Old Rate New Rate.
To Nashville .. $500 1884
To Memphis ...... 200 3.24
OF course the parcel post cannot ham
die the fish business or any other big
shipments. Consequently the express
companies can run the rate up on this
class OF business. while reducing it on
that class Of business for which the
parcel post is a competitor

thropy in 1t after ALL

The Governorship and Good Roads
There are no doubt a hundred good
men in Florida who would make very
satisfactory governors, and a few
thousand more that think they would.
1t is up to the people, however, under
our modern way of doing things, to
say who it will be, at the windup OF
the next election held for that office.
We cannot help thinking that it would
be to the interest of all concerned If
the Hon. Frank AIayes be given &
chance to show US what he can do. We
are firmly Of the opinion that he would
be a governor of all the State Of Flori-
da instead of just a silver of a faction
of the democrat party. While il IL
all right to shout our PRINCIPLES al
election time, and call upon the dear
people to witness the simon pureness
of our democracy, it is going to he
more to the point in the future to
tell the people what we are going to
do with the disgustingly bad roads all
over the state We would say that the
draining of the Everglades, the build
ing of bridges and good roads are now
the most important matters before the
Mayes is in favor Of Immediately pro-
ceeding to solve these gigantic prob
lems.-Molina Advertiser.

a LMOST every variety is fash
~ ionable and for afternoon
= - and evening gowns, there IS
a great tendency toward the use Of
tulle over silk that brings about
singularly attractive results A beau
tiful costume Of the kind consists Of
a skirt of black satin with long tunic
of black tulle scalloped at its edges
and finished with cut jet beads. Thet
corsage is of the net and sleeveless but
is rendered completely distinctive by
the capelike drapery at the back which
is made Of the net and edged with the
let beads.
AS has been said again and again,
beads are put to many uses and, for
the noce Jet is exceedingly smart. aui
edgings of Jet beads and embroidery
Of jet beads both appear in various
forms. One of the smartest of the
white costumes met at a recent func-
ton was in the three-piece style Of
white peplin embroidered with tiny
Jet beads, and jet in the form Of beads
and in the form of banding and a.
every known trimming is being extern
sively used.
Taffeta continues all its vogue ana

handsomest costumes met at a recent
function was of this black MORE silk
deliberately trimmed with jet en-
broidery and made with faring tunic
of the plain taffeta. For street COS
tunes, what is known as summer
gabardine in such pale tones as biscuit,
sand and the new tan color are exceed
ingIy smart and one of the handsomesr
met at hotel luncheon was made with
a skirt showing long circular tunic
and short jacket finished with a much
faring rippled basque but while long

The lace is made on a foundation Of

and is in itself Of interest az noting
the general revival Of lace OF all sorts.

some fresh novelty in color or design
or some fresh application. An ex-
tremely beautiful evening gown, seen
just within 4 say or two, combines
fine white null showing a border de-
sign Of roses with pale blue raffeta and
IS really most attractive. The skirt is

THE short, iauuty, coat with cir
cular frilI or peplum. as illus
trated in the center figure, Is the
very newest and latest. 1t gives the
flare at the hip line thar marks the
season ard the Normandy collar and
surplice vest make attractive features.
In the picture, it forms part Of a suit
but fancy coats of this kind may be
made from a variety of materials and
worn with contrasting skirts or over
white gowns. For the latter purpose
at least. bright colors, eerise. blue and
emerald green, are used and give ex-
ceedingly picturesque effects. II de-
sired, the cheulisette and collar can be
omitted and, if the coat is to be slipped
on over the entire gown, the omission
is sometimes advisable. For the street
costume, however, the collar makes an
important addition. Any woman who
can sew can make the coat in a few
hours. Everything fashionable is
loose, so that there is no fitting and
kimono sleeves mean few seams.

afternoon dress and, Of course, plain
material can be used with banding as
finish or treated in any effective way.
The edges Of the skirt, the ruffles and
the blouse are all straight and the
straight edges always are easy to
handle, so that the dress is a very
simple one while Il is extremely dainty
and dressy in effect. For a very hand
some little froek could be used simple
shadow lace bouncing with plain net

edges Of the net be bound with silk to
match the sash and to give touch Of
color.

effects. The first costume is made of
light weight silk and wool crepe with
trimming of tafeta but which can be
copied in may different materials. In
the back view, the ruff1es are gathered
in place of plated and those on the
coat cut narrower and the treatment
is just as fashionable as the one shown
on the figure. The skirt and blouse
Of white charmeuse satin with ruff1es
of lace would. for example, be charming
worn with coat of bright colored char
meuse or tafeta trimmed with the
same, for these bright colored coats are
much worn over white costumes and
are always picturesque in effect. The
coat Is an absolutely simple one in
kimono style and the skirt is cut in
two pieces with seams at the sides only.
1T would be difficult to find smarter
skirt for wear with odd waist than
this one with hip drapery and a
yoke that gives a waistcoat effect.
1t IS absolutely new and embodies
all the latest ideas. In the illustration,
it is made from striped eponge and
is worn with a dainty blouse of hand

blouse can be utilized for the organdie
that is so much liked. for crepe, wolfe

for the crepe de chine and the wash

skirt is made all in one piece with the

blouse is a plain one and the soft.
