Pensacola Naval Aviation Station
Has Nothing to do With Pork Barrel

1t is a remarkable and deplorable TACT
that public men at times, and It would seem
from recent press dispatches, with increas-
ing frequency, give voice to opinions which
have no basis in fact, and express sentl-
ments which seem to have back of them lit
tie real conviction.
In recent speech before the American
Defense Society, Mr.. Henry Reuterdahl
spoke against pork barrel methods, at
lacking Secretary Daniels for re-opening
the Pensacola Navy Yard.
The following letter from c. E. Dobson
to the New York Herald shows Mr.. Reu-
terdahl up in a ridiculous light, as being
not only weak in his contention, but en-
tirely ignorant of the real facts of the case:
Your issue of February % has an
account of a speech delivered before
the American Defense Society by Mr..
Henry Reuterdahl, in which he is
quoted as attacking the present secre-
tary of the navy, alleging that he has
adopted pork barrel" methods in,
among other things, re-opening the
Pensacola Navy Yard, which his pre-
decessor had reduced to starvation"
If Mr.. Reuterdahl has the informa-
ton he should before attempting to
speak on the subject in so positive
fashion, he knows that the Pensacola
Navy Yard has been re-opened as a
naval aviation base and flying school on
the recommendation of board of
naval officers, which included those
most expert in the theory and practice
of flying. This board recommended
Pensacola as the best location for
naval aviation uses, and experience has
demonstrated the wisdom of its choice,
as official reports show. So that, in
stead of allowing a plant which repre-
sents large investment to lie idle, the
secretary is utilizing it as valuable
and efficient adjunct to the naval es-
Enlistment.
Then why pork barrel?" Doesn't
Mr.. Reuterdahl know these facts? If
he doesn't. why talk? If he does, why
nisrepresent? =

President Wilson Watching The
Shields Dam Legislation

In Switzerland and Norway. where
waterfalls are numerous, water power is
diverted in the best way for the use of the
common people. In Europe, also, there are
many instances of cheap electric road SER
vice, developed from the use of water
power.
The facts In the case of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul railway may bring
the Importance of this subject home. One
hundred and fifteen miles of that road are
now being operated in the state of Mon
tana by hydro-electric power. By the first
of June, $50 miles of that system will be
operated by hydro-electric, or falling water
power.
The cost of operating the Butte, Ana
conda and Pacific railway has been reduce&
80 1-3 per cent by being operated electri-
ca1ly As soon as congress can pass the
right kind of water power bill, results
like the above will effect railways all over
the country.
Doesn't it look worth while to study up
this water power problem bit?
Representative Kent of California, ac-
cording to a Washington special, has re
ceived from President Wilson significant
letter IN reply to his structures against the
Shields dam act, recently put through the
senate by an overwhelming vote
President Wilson'S note is as follows:
Thank you for your letter of March
IL. You may be sure that I will call
the attention of the new secretary of
war to the water powers question at
the earliest possible moment, for you
know, lam sure, my deep and genuine
interest in it. I agree with you that
it is better to let the water powers run
to waste than to settle the question of
the use of it in the wrong way. am
watching the progress of legislation
with a great deal of anxiety. Cordially
and sincerely yours, Woodrow Wilson,
The president rightly refrains from con
demning the legislation while it is under
going formation, but the public can feel as
sured that no water power grab will get BY
without the presidents protest.

Only Wilson Men Should Be
Sent to Democratic Convention

The Democratic party is facing the
greatest crisis in its history. If the Demo
Gratis are voted out this time, the Republi
cans will raise the old campaign cry that
the Democrats are not to be trusted with
power If Democracy wins, the Republican
party realizes that it will be intrenched in
power for many years.
Senator Oscar Underwood says, and
truly: IF the Democrats are voted out this
time, it will be a long period of.years before
they are restored to power"
If Woodrow Wilson is nominated and
the convention. which dominates him adj
heres strictly and Loyalty to his policies,
Democracy will win. Without this party
loyalty, Democracy is doomed.
The Republican party is leaving no stone
unturned to get a united party That they
are not going to let the convention nomi-
nate Roosevelt, is very clear. Nor will a
man be nominated who is repugnant to
the Progressives The Republican party is
after union and harmony. These and only
these can save it.
1t behooves the Democratic party to fol-
low after the same. gods. Through party
fealty, and only through this, will Democ-
racy save itself from defeat.
If Woodrow Wilson is nominated and
his party stands Loyalty by him, Democracy
will be in power for years to come. Men
loyal to Wilson, and to every policy for
which he stands, should be sent to the
Democratic convention, and when there
should stand staunchly together for De-
mocracy.

Washington Believed in Standing
Army as Against Trusting to Militia

Since the entrance of American troops
into Mexico, the voice of the Pacifcist is
not heard raised so loudly in the land The
realization is being brought home to this
country in a most compelling way that the
desire for peace does not bring peace, and
that in preparedness only does safety lie
For those who quote Washington as the
great advocate of peace and opposed to a
large standing army, the following excerpt
IS given, expressing the sentiments of the
first president of this republic, and one of
the greatest generals the world has ever
known:
The jealousy of a standing army and
the evils to be apprehended from one,
are remote, and, in my judgment, sit
uated as we are, not at all to be dread
ed; but the consequence of wanting
one, according to my ideas formed
from the present view of things, is GER
tain and inevitable ruin. For, if / was
called upon to declare upon oath
whether the Militia had been most ser
viceable or hurtful, upon the whole, I
should subscribe to the latter. Expert
ence, which is the best criterion TO
work by, so fully, clearly, and decisive
ly reprobates the practice of trusting
to Militia that no man who regards
order, regularity, and economy, or who
has any regard for his own honor,
character, or peace of mind, will risk
them upon this issue.

Removing the Cause
of Much Sickness

The advantage IN taking Foley
Cathartic Tablets is that in addition
to carrying off the entire congested
mass without gripping or nausea, they
thoroughly cleanse the walls of the
tntestines and keep them free Of all
cIogging matter.
It is this caking on the walls Of
the intestines that prevents their nat
ursl action and function, ana Is the
direct cause Of so much Of the SICK
ness and misery that makes consti-
patton the curse Of our present day.
For 1t is constipation that is respon-
sible for a large share OF headaches,
depressed feelings. and many other
serious bodily Ills.
W. A McRae, an elderly gentleman
living at Raleigh, Ga, writes: Foley
Cathartfc Tablets are the only ones
have ever taken that cleanse my
system thoroughly and do not gripe
or hurt me at all. They are entirely
satisfactory and wonderfully differ
ent and more pleasant than anything
have ever used.

Maxim Charges

MAKING OnargeS-
A citizen of Pensacola has written
Governor TrammeH making charges
against the sheriff of Escambia coun-
ty, to the effect that gambling is per-
mitted in that city.
The Pensacola News thinks the
charges "put a blot upon the city"
and calls for "full and complete in
vestigation."
As a general rule such charges do
very little good, unless the officers
directly in charge are disposed to stop
Illegal practices on their own accord.
Besides, this is a bad time to disturb
the governor with such small matters,
when he has so many grave and Sc
rious problems on hand.-Tampa Tri-
