M ON THE CARIBBEAN AND ELSE
WHERE.

The nation which controls the oil sup
ply possesses one of the great factors
upon which ocean-borne commerce will
depend, and about which naval politics
will turn.
The public has not realized the steps
already taken by the great naval Pow
ers TO prepare for the shift to oil as
fnel for their battleships. All the bat
t!eehips of the American Navy built in
the last eight years use oil for fuel,
eight use it as auxiliary to coal, four use
it exclusively. The dreadnoughts Okla
homa and Nevada use oil exclusively;
and forty one of our destroyers, built or
building, use oil fuel only. Storage ia
cilities are being proportionately increas-
ed. Oiling stations are replacing coal
ing stations. In 1912, steps were taken
for the construction of fuel oil tanks at
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; Melville, Rhode
Island; Norfolk, Virginia; Charleston,
South Carolina; and Key West, Florida.
five tanks are under construction at
Guantanamo, Cuba The combined ca
pacity of all these is 100000 gallons.
During the year 1912. the navy used A.
140, TIA gallons, as compared with Z, u.s.
657 gallons in the previous year. Our
present oil-burnlng fleet would require
%, 900 tons of fuel oil to keep it in active
service for single month.
But more significant is the recently
announced intention of the British Ad-
miraIly that all British warships to be
built from now on will use oil for fuel
exclusively. This action is one which
will almost certainly be followed by
other naval Powers.
The Government of the United States
will assuredly not be slow to see the i'm
portance of the Oil supplies in the neigh
boring republics as an influence bearing
upon its own foreign policy. Our inter-
ests in this matter have thus far been
brought into contrast only with those of
one other Power, but the general policy
which we may adopt will have much
wider application. So far as a supply
for our own governmental needs is con-
cerned, no question IS apt to rise; but
the degree to which other nations may
get de facto control of Caribbean oil re-
sources may be, for US, matter of
great moment, causing this Government
to consider again the Interpretation
which is to be placed on the Monroe Doc
trine. Chester Floyd Jones in the Octo
Der number of The North American Re-

DEMOCRATIC LAWS FOUND WANT
ING

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. II, 1915.
Democratic laws have teen tried and
found wanting.
As the time for Congress to resssem-
BILE approaches, this fact is being grad
ually disclosed by the administration
itself. In nearly every Department in
Washington, government officials are
preparing amendments to patch up de-
fects in statutes. These defects exist
because the methods followed in the en-
actment of the statutes were slovenly
and careless to the last degree.
Another problem facing the admins
tration, even more serious than that OF
defective laws, is that of the govern
ment's finances. There has been a
growing discrepancy between receipts
and expenditures, creating a deficit In
the treasury that must be provided for.
Government funds have been wasted,
and large proportion of this waste is
due to carelessness by the Democratic
Congress in handling appropriations.
Articles have heretofore appeared Civ
ing few typical examples of how this
waste has occurred. These articles
might be continued indefinitely. Enough
has been said, however, to illustrate the
wasteful, inefficient principle that has
vitiated the entire Democratic regime.
A recapitula,ion of the later articles.
from 16 to "a, is given herewith. They
will be followed later by additional de-
scriptions of Democratic mistakes:
l6. Millions of dollars worth of the
nations timber supply jeopardized.
II. The integrity of the law taxing
"cotton future sales is in doubt, ard
must be tested in court.
IS. As business managers the Demo-
Gratis have been utter failures, their
methods of enacting appropriation bills
causing enormous waste. To illustrate:
10. The rural free delivery service
has been shamefully crippled.
20. The construction of good roods by
governmental aid was delayed year,
and much of the appropriation abso-
lutely lost.
81. Important surveys of Alaska min
eral resources were prevented for two
successive years.
%. Prevention of epidemics of tuber-
culosis and trachma among Indian
tribes and adjacent communities delayed
a year.
%. Civil war veterans died in want
through needless errors in special pen
sion laws.
"a. Over ten million dollars lost in
one appropriation bill alone through
needless delay in its enactment; enough
lost in four years of similar Democratic
delays to more than cover the present
treasury deficit.

CAUSE OF MUCH TROUBLE

Constipation is more frequent in wo-
men than in men. 1t is almost always
present in old age.
Many results of constipation are at
tributed to something else. Constipa-
ton causes pimples and eruptions. By
pressing on the veins it causes cold ankles
and feet and produces varicose veins. It
may cause neuralgia. Constipation often
makes children delicate and feeble.
The remedy is to stimulate the liver by
the use of Pinklets, the gentle laxative
pills that do not grippe or purge but SIM
ply assist nature. Taken regularly for
time, they really do correct constipation.
Write the DIR. Williams Medicine Co,
Schenectady, N. Y, for free sample and
booklet on the treatment of constipation
or get full-size 25-cent bottle of Pinklets
from your own druggist.

Shoe men say that each of the 100000

Massachusetts at cost of SIS pair will
take from seven to eight feet of bark

a good deal for two feet.

In those days it was common enough
for all ships to have the spawn of future
captains in the forecastle; hence it was
nothing new for an older master to again
meet with his one-time sailors-pe perhaps
one whom he had sometime cuffed over
the wheel-after the boy himself had be-
come a green young master. But the
possibility of any such meeting of en-
barrassment has passed: look now in no
forecastle for either an American boy,
intelligence or ambition.
On the Lorena. there was a full crew of
boys, and among us was Tom Peabody.
Fifteen years afterward, one morning in
Liverpool, was introduced to Captain
Peabody, then in command of Bath
ship. We went up to the Exchange for
dinner and while there memory awoke. I
said, captain, were you ever before the
mast in the Lorena?" For answer, he
reached for my hand and said, "Ned,
how are you? have been all the morn
ing trying to think who you are!'
Another fifteen years slipped quickly
away and in Boston was introduced to
Captain Peabody in black whiskers which
had never seen, as master of the ship
Tam O'Shanter. Through his changed
appearance, the name did not strike me,
but in few minutes he repeated to me
the same question had asked him de-
cade and half before. 1t is now time
that Tom and should meet again.
