'PHONE No. 11. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1RM902. We are holding “fast” Coal ia still at a premium, this is no joke. And The president should try the trust tsure on his sore leg. The A. & B. extension small thing for Vienna. Andrew Bundrtck is in Dooly County jail. Now for George. The strike in New Orleans has been settled. Strikers winning. Capt. R. P. Hobson, of the Uuited States Navy, contributes an article to the current number of the North American Review in which he tries to demonstrate that Uncle Sum should have the most powerful navy in the world. Some of his arguments are new, some ate not. The United States has thousands of miles of sea coast and has also a foreign trade which amounts to about $1,500,000,000 a year. We have u Monroe doctrine, under which we are pledged to protect South America- from European aggression. We have established American sovereignty over the Philipine Islands—islands 6,000 miles from our Pacific cost. Other nations are steadily'increasing their naval armament und the United States ought not to lag behind them. These are some of Captain' Hob sons arguments, and if they are not new they are at least intelligi ble. One might inter from the eurneslness with which this dis tinguished officer pleads for more warships that Uncle Sam does not maintain a sufficient navy, to which is adding from time to time, vessels that have no superiors the navies of the world. As a matter of fact, the United States navy, in point of efficiency, second to none, and futhermore, is increasing as rapidly as ctr- cumstunces require. The Atlanta barbecue Saturday was “teched” lightly by the editors of this section. Candidate Pennypacker is culled the Quay graphopone. Now is this not disrespectful?
