Press Comment
Our Water Transportation.

Nearly every year there comes
time when the entire bay country is
almost entirely dependent upon the
Tarpon for its supplies. And this
staunch steamer, with its reliable an6
well known master, Captain w. G
Barrow, has never failed US.
ever since January, 1902, the Tar.
pom, in charge of Capt. Barrow, has
made it's trips from Mobile and Pen
sacola, down the coast to st. Andrews
Bay points. Apalachicola and Cara
belle, without mishap or delay. Gull
storms have not checked it to any APP
preciable extent, and with clock like
regularity those who have depended
upon this boat have never been DIS
appointed.
But there are reasons for this ex-
traordinary good work that possibly
are never thought of by those who are
as accustomed to the regularity of the
weekly arrival and departure of the
Tarpon, as they are of the rising and
setting of the sun.
The owners of this boat, the Pen
sacola, st. Andrews & Gulf Steamship
Company, never let a needed repair
go that is necessary for the upkeep
of their vessel, and it's yearly over
hauling is most perfect and severe,
Each year the Tarpon comes off the
dry dock in as perfect condition as
it was when it left the hands of the
builders, possibly stronger, as expert
ence has shown. where improvements
could be made.
This perfect maintenance is shown
again this year by the fine rating
that it has now received from the
American Bureau of Shipping" class
ing the boat as 11a-one of the
highest ratings-for the next four
years, while the same board gives it's
machinery and boilers the classified
ton of A. M. S., which signifies the
highest classification given by the
American Bureau of Shipping for
Machinery and Boilers
The owners of the Tarpon and
Captain Barrow, are naturally some
what proud of this rating, as it shows
there is no boat sailing Gulf waters
with a higher classification and one
that points to safety and stability,
more than does this inspection, show
ing what rating the highest authority
in the country has given the Tarpon.
Not only has the United States
Shipping Board placed its stamp of
approval upon the Tarpon, but the
local steamboat inspectors, who make
periodical inspections of the vessel
are equally as strong in their APPROX
al, based upon these examinations,
and the opinion of these officers can
not be lightly set aside. In fact to
make false reports of these condi-
tons Of vessels that have been thus
inspected, is a criminal offense, and
subjects the parties making them to
heavy penalties. This government is
very properly extremely jealous of its
name and reputation in connection
with the inspection that its able Of
ficials make of the vessels that it is
charged to look after, and its stamp
of approval cannot be called in ques-
ton with impunity.
For eighteen years the Tarpon has
served our people with regularity
and responsibility that is rarely
equalled. It has done more to keep

with Jack, and that my cousin was
even now hunting wildly in the res
taurant for my wedding and engage
ment rings which had lost there.
"They Can't Find Them"
I could imagine his derisive smile if
he should guess the truth, that upon
foolish impulse to keep my marriage
| a secret from Jack until the dinner
| should be over, 1 had taken off my
rings and put them in my mesh bag.
He was so cynical, so malicious, that
| he was quite capable of telling the
| incident as a huge joke.
I had a sudden terrifying vision of
Dicky hearing the incident of the
| rings from the smiling, sneering lips
! Of this man.
He must not discover I had lost
! anything.
But fate was against me. I had
hoped that he would at once move on
when 1 told him I had an engage
ment.
But I did not know Harry Under
wood
"How very interesting, this dinner
engagement with cousin" he said
mockingly. Where is cousin, by the
way SiiOulu IOhS " meet the UGdC
old chap. Lucky cousin, to be able
to dine with the bride. 1 don't sup
pose you would dine alone with me ?"
"You are perfectly correct in your
supposition," 1 smiled, however, as /
said it. Though the thought humil-
lated me, l realized / could not afford
to make an enemy of this man.
Just then Jack came rushing down
the steps. One look at his white face
and knew the rings had not been
found. He was so upset that he did
not notice Harry Underwood standing
by the taxi, did not see my warning
glance. but blurted out despairingly:
ITS no use, Margaret. They can't
find them anywhere"
Jack l want you to meet Mr.. I'm
derwood, friend of my husbands"
l said hastily, hoping TO save the sit
uation. "Mr. Underwood. my cousin,
Mr.. Beckett"
The End of Worry.
The two men shook hands perfume
torily.
'Glad to meet you, Mr.. Beckett"
Harry Underwood said, in his effu-
sive manner. Have you lost any
thing valuable? Can help in any
way?"
Nothing of any consequence" 7
interrupted desperately.
"Oh, yes. I see, nothing OF any
consequence" he replied meaningly.

Revelations
Ofu Wife
What Harry Underwood Said.
By ADELE GARRISON.

What Harry Underwood Said.
If l had been asked to name the
person of all the world whom l would
have wished not to meet in this en-
barrassing predicament of mine,
should have said promptly, Harry
Underwood"
However, here he was, very much
in evidence, and 1 had to think swift
ly, in order to decide what to do with
him.
1 wondered how much he knew.
| Had Lillian told him that 1 was not
going to accompany Dicky to dinner
at their home because of my engage
ment to dine with Jack, and was he
standing here at the door of the taxi
from malicious mischief?
Or was he simply pursuing the gen.
eral annoyance of me, which had ap-
peared to be his purpose ever since
he had met me?
Whatever his motive, he must be
sent about his business, 1 realized
that.
You're surely going to give me a
lift" he persisted, his eyes fixed au-
daciously on my face, his hand on
the taxi door.
I'm sorry" / said as smoothly as
possible But you see l am not go
ing in the direction of your home.
Didn't Mrs. Underwood tell you that 1
was not coming with Dicky for din
ner, but perhaps would join you
later? 1 have an engagement to dine
with my cousin who has just returned
from a years absence in South
America"
A little shiver of disgust ran though
me as my lips uttered the falsehood
so smoothly. 1t seemed TO me that
was launched, through no fault of my
own, upon a course OF deceit. But not
for anything could / allow this man
to know that l already had dined

What the people Of Pensacola and
Tampa and Miami want to do Is to
take the city out of politics and put
! it in business for itself-make II
function, just as any other firm must
function, if it is to be operated sue
| cessfully. Every taxpayer in this
concern is a stakeholder in Pensa-
cola. Yet how many men keep In
touch with city affairs, except through
reading the newspapers? When pub
lie meetings are called, how many men
go to those meetings and evidence an
intelligent interest? How many men
go to the polls on election day? 1t is
not so much change of the form OF
government that is needed as change
i nthe politics of the people who con-
stitute the government. And when
we say this, We do not mean only a
change in the city commissioners, but
a change in every taxpayer, or
stakeholder, in the city of Pensa-
cola
What should we think Of the stock
holders of any corporation who took
no interest in the way the affairs of
a concern in which their money was
invested were administered. Yet the
only interest that many voters take
is to complain and accuse, making
wild charges that they cannot back
with any proof.
What the city commissioners and
the people of Pensacola need is to
get together. In other cities the size
of Pensacola there are frequent pub
lie meetings at which the affairs of
the city are openly discussed. Such
meetings should not only be custom
n in f1tf x hut Oh ha oh
ligatory. A Peoples Forum is need
ed, where the city officials and the
people may meet and talk things over
Where the people may ask questions
and the commissioners may answer
them-if they can. And if they can
not show cause why they cannot, or
else face disapprobation and possible
removal.
Pensacola needs to be taken out of
politics, as are other city govern
ments. The old aldermanic govern
ment will not do it. The experience
of other cities has shown that. The
three commissioner plan has not done
it. And the city-manager plan for
Pensacola, as yet in the future. In
the meantime the city of Pensacola
is losing money. on it's water plant,
instead of making money. on NUM-
cipally owned plants, as Jacksonville
and other cities are doing.
Three things seem clear. The aid
ermanic form will not help us. The
commission form has not solved our
problem. The city-manager plan, If
it ever materializes, is of the future,
and we are facing deficits of the
present. The peoples forum is one
way. 1t NAV not be the best way hut
it will do a part towards keeping the
people and the city officials in touch
with each other.
It has been claimed, when this has
been suggested before, that the peo-
pie will not attend the meetings. Then
if that is so, it is up to the people.
But such meetings are held in other
cities and people attend them and in
talking over city affairs get a line on
what is going on in the city, before
it has become sensational enough to
need an airing and cast reflection on
the city or the people.

GOOD oMENS IN oBREooN

ENALSE dawns have hcralded SO many
L new eras' In Mexico that a certain
amount Of skepticism seasons even the sin :
cerest hopes. II must be admitted, however,
that President Alvaro Obregon assumes
Office under conditions encouragingly different
from those which embarrassed many of his
predecessors.
There is little question that the charms Of
revolutionary sprees have wancd. The ma
tion is revolt weary. The most vigorous
leaders of guerrilla bands are citt'" dead or
in retirement. Pancho Villa is iscussing
education and soldiers bonuses. 40 house
of Diaz is no longer a symbol either of au-
tocracy or Of selfish freebooting aggrandze-
mcnt.
The provisional administration Of Adolfo
de la Huerta has been peaceful and construc-
tive. Under it's auspices the most orderly
and what seems to have been the fairest ma =
tional election in several decades was held
with General Obregon the successful candi-
date. 1t is on this interesting and forceful
personality that the aspirations Of Mexicans
and well wishing neighbor peoples are
pinned.
Some warranty for such confidence is
available. The new president is accredited
with the gifts of frankness, vigor and com
mon sense. His public uttcrances have been
lTte lTOul DOTnDHSL
and rhodomontade. His attitude toward the
United States has consistently been one of
friendly candor.
Appreciation of these facts can be deduccd
from the significant letter addressed by Sec
retary Colby to Robert V. Pesoueira, conf
Dental agent of Mexico in Washington.
The negotiation of a treaty adjudicating
claims of the two nations and forming the
basis for official American recognition of the
Obregon government is openly urged. The
concession question l., Of course, obtrusive,
but Mr.. Colby plainly states his satisfaction
with Senior Pesqueira's assurances that both
the provisional president and General Obrc-
gon have declared that Article XXVII of
the Mexican constitution must not be in
terprcted as retroactive or vitiative of valid
property rights"
Obviously. with domestic regulations for
the future the American Government has no
right to interfere, and General Obregon's
stand against the abrogation of the consti-
tutional clause applying particularly to
petroleum grants should not be bar to
straightforward negotiations. 1t is the
retroactive idea alone to which objection
may be considered valid.
4 new treaty with Mexico. warranting
recognition of the Obregon government and
ending the perlous differences which have
disturbed the relations of two neighbor re-
publcs for more than a decade, would be a
signal achievement in international progress
on the North American continent. Mexico
has millions of friends in the United States
The deficiency has been one of understand
ing The situation is similarly developed
south of the Rio Grande.
The case still demands tact and sincerity
in handling. Despite contrasts in tempera-
ment among the two peoples, there is no
reason to believe that such constructive fac
tors cannot be brought to bear upon a per-
manent settlement.
