NAVAL STATION NOTES.

The Stranger, which was sunk dur
ing the storm last week, is a total loss
to the government, being worth about
100000 when lost. The large dry dock
suffered comparatively little damage
and would be back in place except
for the fact that a sailing vessel is
sunken there.
The operating machinery of the
coaling plant is wrecked. The plant
will in all probability be abandoned
as a coaling station.
The new wireless is again in oper-
alton. The old wireless pole is down
and the station useless.

"See Nothing Promising In Old
PARTIES" Declares Reso.
luton Adopted.

Kansas City, Mo. Nov. 20.---Th,
leaders OF the Progressive party in
Missouri favor entering the 1915
campaign with full national. State
and county tickets. headed by Theo
dore Roosevelt and Hiram w. John
son.
That attitude was expressed in a
resolution adopted by the party
leaders after a conference here to-
day.
The action of the conference fol-
lowed the announcement OF George
w. Perkins. OF New York, chairman
Of the National Executive Committee
OF the party. that he had called a
meeting OF the committee to be held
in New York November 80. The
purpose of the committee meeting
will be to arrange for a meeting of
the National Committee. at which a
date and place for national con
vention will be fixed.
Resolutions adopted to-day by the
Missouri Progressives included the
following:
1--WE see nothing in the present at
titude of either of the old parties
that holds out any promise for the
future. AS in the 1912 campaign,
the powers of graft and special priv
ilege are in control of the old party
organizations and are openly pre-
pairing 60 write platforms and nom
mate candidates in harmony with
their interests.
I'VE, therefore. stand squarely on
our national platform Of 1912, and
favor the nomination of national,
State and county tickets on that
platform.
The mention of Roosevelt AMI
johnson came ut the end of the
days conference. Judge Albert d.

candidate for Governor of Missouri

The next session of the Kentucky
General Assembly will have big
problem before it in solving the
State revenue situation and righting
financial matters that have evidently
gotten into a deplorable condition.
This will be done by amending our
system of taxation. That something
needs TO be done along this line. no
body will deny. Kentucky is great
State and ought not to be so badly in
debt. We need an equitable taxing
system. fair to all. rich or poor. and
that will amply supply the revenues
of State government.
