CAPT. NORTHUP
RETURNS HOME
SPENT SIX WEEKS MOST EN-
JOYABLY AT VARIOUS PLACES
ON THE PACIFIC COAST.

Capt. w. H. Northup, who was the
delegate of the local lodge of Elks
to the annual convention of that or
ganization, has returned home after
six weeks spent on the Pacific coast.
The captain had a pleasant trip, not
only enjoying the convention of Elks,
which possibly was the largest in the
history of the order, but also had an
enjoyable time at the Panama. Pacific
exposition and other places which he
visited.
Capt. Northup left Mr.. and Mrs. V.
J. Vidal on the coast. The latter are
soon due in Chicago and from there
will return home.

air ships and aeropianes could be used
extensively at sea must, in the light
of the achievements Of our aircraft,
successfully against the dreaded sub
marines. A Russian submarine was
destroyed In the Baltic by bombs from
an aeroplane, and at least one British
submarine met the same fate In the
North Sea.

ships which before the wsr were
counted as decisive factors IN sea

condemned to inactive roles. Clashes
of heavy battleships, like those in
distant waters, have borne out the old
rule that superiority in numbers, ar
tillery and speed, make up the decisive
factor for victory.

and Good Hope depended for the most
part on six-inch guns, while the Ger

The victory at the Falkland Islands
was easy for the British battle eruis-
ers Invincible and Inhedble and their
consorts, because they mounted 12-
inch guns and also were much faster
than the German ships.
'In warship duels also weight and
armament were decisive. The Sydney,
armed with six-inch guns, was thus
able to destroy the Emden, with only
4.2-inch cannon.

DESTROYING COMMERCE.
'1n addition, our submarine arm
has busted itself since the beginning
of the year in an entirely unexpected
way, as a destroyer of commerce.
Views may differ as to the final out
come in this field, but it is undeniable
that a nation ike Germany, whose
commerce has been driven from the
seas, but which can subsist without
imports, has an extraordinary advan-
tage over country dependent almost
entirely, like Britain, upon irnporta-
tons of food and raw materials across
the water. The submarine danger
unquestionably weighs like a night
mare upon the inhabitants of the sea-
washed land. The fortune results of
the wide extension, as we hope, of
the fruitful activity Of our submarines
cannot be predicted, but the expecta-
ton is generally cherished In Ger

armored cruiser Pallaba, the cruisers
Hawke and Pathfinder, and the British

In commenting upon the Eastland
disaster, the editor of the New York
Evening Post says:
Why was ship which, though
thoroughly seaworthy," was cranky
and required constant watching, .
permitted to do an excursion business,
carrying unusual numbers of people
and naturally subject to conditions in
which the danger Of any failure to
keep the constant watching" up to
the mark, was exceptionally grave Z
In view Of the whole story of the
Eastland's past, is it not certain that
the thought Of danger was present
again and again to the inspectors that
allowed her to continue in that line
of business? Why did they dismiss
that thought Inquiry may show
that there was gross incompetence or
recklessness; but we are not asserting
anything of the kind. What we do
assert is that if the officials who
passed upon the subject had taken
their stand sternly upon the principle
that the lives of the passengers must
not be exposed to danger-that the
margin of safety must be far greater
than that afforded by the supposition

Pensacola Should Fight
Vigorously Proposed
Rate Increase.

The proposed increase in freight
rates by the Louisville & Nashville
railroad should meet with vigorous
opposition from the business inter-
ests Of Pensacola. The hearing on
the railroads application for author
ity to abolish the present commodity
rates and adopt in lieu thereof the
mileage basis Of rates win be con-
Quoted by the Florida railroad COM
mission tomorrow at Mariana.
Wholesale merchants, naval stores
factors and lumber shippers will
principally be affected, and they
should be well represented at this
meeting.
Il is unfortunate that the Florida
raiIorad commission did not see fit
to grant Pensacola the extension of
time requested, for SO many rates
will be changed if the application is
adopted that it Is practically impos-
sible for the Chamber Of Commerce
to properly prepare its case for pre-
sentation to the commission. Only
about fourteen days elapsed between
the date notice was received Of the
Louisville & Nashville's application
for a change and the date of the
hearing, and it is impossible for the
matter to be placed in proper form
in this length Of time. However, the
commission has seen fit to refuse a
continuance, although it is under
stood even the railroad company made
q similar request. Why the haste in
conducting this hearing is merely .
matter of conjecture as the commits
sion offered no explanation in re-
fusing the request.
If the application Of the Louisville
& Nashville is granted by the rail
road commission it will place Pensa-
cola at great disadvantage as a
naval stores center, for the reason
that the rates from West Florida
points to Savannah viii be cheaper
than to Pensacola, despite the length
of haul. This is manifestIy unjust
both to Pensacola and the shipper
and why the railroad should adopt
it at this time when Pensacola is
making q fight against Savannah fol
naval stores, is a matter hard to nm
derstand, for the railroad, as well al
Pensacola, would be benefited by this
trade being diverted here.
The rate on cotton to Pensacols
would be increased about so cents pei
bale, while the rates on lumber t
Pensacola, and phosphate, grocerie.
and dry goods from Pensacola t.
West Florida points would be greatly
increased by the adoption of the
mileage basis.

NOW is THE TIME TO
SELL THE 100000 BONDS.

Editor Pensacola Journal:
The sale of the $4,000 bonds for
municipal purposes just closed seems
to be conclusive evidence that If the
$500 900 bonds voted by Pensacola
people for municipal wharf and belt
line could be sold right in Pensacola
if issued in proper form for public
convenience.
Look at the way the $4,000 was
greedily sought after. The total
amount presented to buy the $4,000
bonds was $298,5S7, nearly ten
times the required amount, and $243,-
14O of this total was from Pensa-
cola and vicinity, being more than
half enough to take the belt line
bonds.
Why not issue these bonds in small
or popular denominations and offer
them to the public here at home. 1t
is now demonstrated that there is idle
money right here wanting a safe in
vestment, like city bond at 5 per
cent.
The city needs these improvements
and the city would be greatly bene-
fitted by putting 100000 in circu-
lation right at this time. Money in
circulation is what makes good times.
money locked up in vaults is what
makes hard times. Money in circula-
ton pays debts. 1t is the grease of
the wheels of business, and prosper
ity.
Pensacola has advantages of fine
natural harbor, fine healthy climate,
good water and beautiful location, all
of which is not to be found on any
other spot on the gulf coast.
Are Pensacola people going to sleep
and let all these great advantages go
to waste for lack of enterprise enough
to utilize them.
Wichita, Kansas, was built out in
the desert with no such advantages as
you have here, by pure luck and en-
terprise and il today double the size
of Pensacola.
There are 81 dozen places on the
Missouri river as good as at Kansas
City, No., but why did Kansas City
make a city of 260, 900 population in
few years? By push and public
spirit alone. If that push has lit on
st. Joseph, Mo-, it would have been
the place that Kansas City is now.
God made the country but men
make cities. It is up to Pensacola
people to make this city of half a
million people, or leave it little burg
of 10000 or 10000. Which shall il
be? If you want commerce, you
must prepare and open the way for
lit.
This is the best natural port on the
Gulf of Mexico. Are we going to
leave it undeveloped.
Do not deceive yourselves with the
idea that, because the land adjacent
| to Pensacola is not cultivated and in
good highly improved farms thai
Pensacola can't do anything. This
city should be the gateway to all the
great Mississippi valley, the richest
in the world. We should draw its re.
sources to the south, just as Chicago
has to the east. Don't confine ou1
ideas to the little land adjacent t.
| Pensacola to build your city, but take

mercial centre.
