trict has served in the fifty-ninth, six
tieth, sixty-frst, sixty-second, sixty
third, sixty-fourth and is now serving
in the sixty-ffth congress, the people
always electing him by good or b.
overwhelming majorities, because he
is recognized as one of the ablest men
in the United States congress.
And an unknown and obscure man
who took the opportunity presented
by a sudden fanatical craze that
spread over the state, developed an
itch for the governorship and was
most unfortunately elected, and now
says that man who for practically
fourteen years has honorably and
efficiently represented his district in
congress is & cheap politician, with i
desire for the office Of governor.
If the joke were not on the entire
state, we might all indulge in the
laugh due to the governors inability
to refrain from making a double dom
key of himseif.-Miam! Herald.

SPITE PROMPTED ATTACK

The animus which prompted the attack
OF Navy League executives upon Secretary
Daniels is made clear by the following
which is taken from an exchange:
Colonel Robert NJ Thompson, president of the
Navy League, is chairman of the board of direc-
tors of the International Nickel Company. The
cost of nickel is than half the cost of armor
plate and enters largely into many kinds of NUM-
tions used by the navy. Some of the directors of
the international Nickel Company directors
and stockholders in munitions plants, steel
panies and other concerns interested in
tracts. There are, for example, Ambrose Mcneil
and W. E Corey Of the Midvaie Steel Co., makers
of projectiles and other munitions f. c. Converse
of United States Steel and Inspiration Copper;
William Nelson Cromwell one of the organizers of
United States Steel, and Charles Hayden of the
Utah Copper Company Thompson, himself is a
director of the Oxford Copper Company.
All these directors of international Nickel have
been hard hit on their pocketboOk nerve by Secre-
tary Daniels low-price policy.
Daniels has hammered down the price of ar
plate and projectiles to point where there
exorbitant profits, only fair
gin He has cut the price of copper to the navy
half in two as compared with the open market
price. He has insisted getting steel at cost
plus a fair profit, less than half what the steel
companies have been soaking the allies and the
public
In other words Secretary Daniels has forced
Colonel Thompson and his fellow directors of the
International Nickel Company and his associates
IN the Navy League to give up millions OF dollars
of profits Naturally they sore; naturally
they would like TO discredit Daniels; naturally
they would like to see him resign.
That is all there is to the attacks of the Navy
League Secretary Daniels, and his admlnistra-
ton of the navy department. and the public ought
to keep this in mind whenever Colonel Thompson
starts one of his periodic campaigns"
While Secretary Daniels was entirely JUS
titled in taking drastic action against Col
Thompson, it is to be regretted that tn,
helpful work of earnest, patriot wome1
should have been hampered through tn
actions of organization officials whom the,
did not choose in whose attacks upon Mr.
Daniels they had no part.
Their only purpose was to serve
through the Navy League because
seemed to offer an effective medium o
lpfulness--noW hat its activities hav
ceased, through such other channels as tn
administration may designate.
They realize the great need for thei1
services, which they give unstintingly. Il
return the government should give aSsur
ance that in future the organization
through which they work will be 50 con
stituted that in the unfortunate event O
one group OF officers becoming objection
able. the offenders may be removed with
out interrupting the labors of local unit
and without embarrassment to the mem

w. S. REEVE TELLS
OF SOME FINE CORN
Editor Pensacola Journal:
Corn is corn, but whether it IS
grown in Florida or Kansas, means
much to the South.
In trying to economically care for
my Satsuma orange grove this season,
on April 10th I planted in part of it
almost one gallon of "prolifc" corn,
using just three-fourth acre of lana

to eleven inches long and Z to inches
knocker on the SOuth's possibilities
can have no rag to chew on such
results.
In making the crop l used less than
$500 worth of commercial fertilizer
and no banyard manure.
There is now growing over the corn
stalks a fine crop of Osceola velvet
beans which December will yield seed
of no small value, when the mass or
vines. stalks and grass will be disced
under thus putting the ground in
better condition for another crop thaS
it was for this.
Owning no horse, every unit OF
labor was paid for at day rates and
$l5 cash will cover all labor cost from
breaking the land to storing the crop.
While such results probably could
not be had with new land first crops,

BRING THEM TO WEST FLORIDA.

1t would be serious and needless eco
nomic waste to disband, as soon as their
present work is finished, the we'll organiz-
ed. efficient bodies of men who are build
ing army cantonments. Their units should
be held intact and utilized in other govern
ment work
One Of the most urgent needs and one
OF the most difficult to fill is men to build
ships. The carpenters who are completing
the cantonments would readily fill that
need. AS the wooden ships to be provided
under direction OF the shipping board are
standardized and the parts cut to pattern
at the mills, the work at the yards is large
" that of assembling, which could well be
done by skilled house carpenters, under
the toremanship of men experienced in
boat work.
There are many locations on the West
Florida gulf coast where plants could be
established with unlimited raw material
immediately available, ample mill faci;.,fes
at hand and deepwater for launching-ad
vantages not to be found elsewhere.
That ships will eventually be built at
every available site on our coast seems a
certainty. Not to do so now. with build
ing forces already organized and soon ~
be released from their present work. would
be to neglect an opportunity which cannot
prese< itself again.
Some enterprising cantonmcnt contrac-
tors are making inquiries as to the possI-
hilites of employing their forces in ship
building. They should be supplied with eN-
haustive data as to our natural advantages,
the location Of available sites, Abundance OF
material excellent transportation facilities,
ideal climatic and health conditions. our
aiI-the-year working season,
They should be encouraged to bring
their working forces to West Florida

CONCRETE ROAD BETWEEN
BAYOUS SEEMS ASSURED.

Plans for Concreting the BarranCas road
between the two bayous are assuming def
mite shape and indications are that they
will be carried through to success.
There is little serious objection to the
project. OF course, there are the few who
oppose every public improvement, but they
form an aggressive minority who spur on
the majority, and thus help, rather than
hinder. They also make certain that the
work will be properly -guafded-prop-
erly planned and Capably executed.
County Commissioner Soderl:rd, in a
communication to The Journal indicates
that the concrete road can only be obtained
through a bond issue, authorized by an
election of tax payers. That the election
will carry seems assured. All realize the
Importance of the naval and military estab-
lishments to Pensacola and the need Of pro-
Viding permanent, hard-surfaced road for
auto and other vehicle traffic.
It is doubtful whether it Woaid be wise
to attempt to bond the entire county for the
road, as while every resident of Escambia
county would profit through its COnstruc-
ton, residents. of the northern districts
would no doubt feel that they should not
be called upon to pay taxes for an improve
ment wholly in the southern portion.
The more feasible plan would seem to
he the formation of special tax district in
Cluding the city and such outlying terri
tory as may be agreed upon by the COM
nittee having the project in charge
With the formation of such tax district
and the definite outlining of plans before
the question is submitted to vote, the tax
payers will doubtless authorize construc-
tiOn of the road. United States Highway
Engineer Burrell estimated in his report
that the cost would be about $50 000 a
small outlay for the benefits that would re-
suit
In connection with hard surfacing the
Barrancas road, many hope for a realiza-
tiOn of Pensacola desire for a continuous
boulevard from the reservation. through
the city, across Bayou Texar and out to
Ferry Pass The portion OF this drive within
the city could be provided at very small
expense by following Garden, Alcaniz and
Gregory streets-alreadv hard surfaced
and constructing the short stretch from the
end of Gregory street to La Rua.

Clark-Catts Debate.

1t may be wagered that Governor
Cats will not accept Frank Clark's
challenge to debate before the people
of Florida the question whether or
not the governor ought to be i'm

if he has a grain of wisdom. For if
there is a debater in this whole coun-
try who is capable of taking every
inch of the governors hide off him
with neatness and dispatch, that man
is the Hon. Frank Clark, Flofida's S
best orator and all around debater.

It seems certain that the grim
grip of war will be first felt at the
belt. Food shortage is certain.
Normally the food reserve is suffi-
cient for two years. There is now
but eight months supply on hand,
and the draft will soon call 100000
men from the productive pursuits,
who will still have to be fed and
clothed.
In the face of these conditions the
useless waste of foodstuffs used in
the manufacture of intoxicants has
aroused a stern protest. Leaders
of public thought in every part of
the nation have poured in kilograms,
letters and memorials. n committee
on Wartime Prohibition has been or
ganized, with Professor Irving Fish
er, the political economist of Yale,
at its head, and Charles w. Eliot,
president emeritus of Harvard, as
vice-president, and including in its
membership many men who have
hitherto opposed the prohibition
propaganda. But now it is a case of
necessity. Eleven million 1oaves a
day is the amount of food values
going into the manufacture of
liquors. This makes it a question
of life and death-a question of food
or starvation.

Ten million men in the United
States will be subject to the selective
CONSUMPTION on July 1 within the
ages agreed upon in the conference
report on the war army bill, Director
Rogers, of the Census Bureau. This
number of men between the ages OF
81 and 80, inclusive, represents very
nearly 10 per cent. of the total esti-
mated population of between 103,-
100000 and 100000 on July 1,
1917.
or these CONSUMPTION eligibles the
bureau estimates New York will
have 1,O6S,OO0; Pennsylvania, S74,-
900; Illinois, 639,50O; Ohio, 494,-
500. and Texas, 100000. In the
eight cities which had more than
100000 population in 1910 the con-
scription eligibles on July 1 are
estimated at: New York, 624,70O;
Chicago, 100000; Philadelphia,
