The New York Herald recently
carried interviews from Represen

and Roddenbery, of Georgia, on tne
Naval Program, whisk is to be adopt

Congressman Roddenbery« views
on that question are given i:. the
following words:

I do not think we are going to have

"Everybody knows, however, tea
the battle ship question is undergo
ing a great change. All over the
world, naval experts are differing as
to what is the best type of battle
ship. Each year we build bigger
ships, and by the time the ships au
thorized two yers aio are completed,
the whole idea of building battle
ships may have changed and the so-
called new ships will be out of date.
In view of this fact, I am in fa
vor of the Democratic party going
slowly in this matter until a thor-
gh inquiry can be made by the
proper officials of the Navy Depart
ment to fix upon a definite policy
for the battle ships of the United
States. I am willing that we build
one new battle ship th.s year, but
no more, until the result of this in
quiry is made known. The new
Democratic Secretary of the Navy
will have ample opportunity to In
stitute such an investigation and I
sincerely hope he will do so and re
port his conclusions to Congress.
Perhaps an lnqiiir? will deter
mine that we are building ships that
are too large. 1 admit I do not
know, but it seems strange to me that
we should keep adding a few thou
sand tons each year to our battle
ships without trying to discover
hat the ultimate size should be,
and getting straight to that point.

SENIORITY IN THE SENATE.
’The following telegram from the
Hon. Hoke Smith. United States
senator from Georgia, has been re
ceived by the Macon News and
printed In that paper. It is merely
a word in explanation of the so-call
ed "seniority question” and of the
position of the progressives in that
body:
I wish to correct certain pub
lications that have recently
been made in Macon with refer-
erence to the conference be
tween Governor Wilson. Sena
tor Gore and myself.
•Neither Senator Gore nor my
seif sought the co-operation of
Governor Wilson in the modifi
cation of the old seniority rule
which has existed in the senate.
We stated to tne governor that
we did not think that he should
In any way be connected with
this movement, and I stated
I felf su**e a satisfactory
agreement would be reached
among the senators on the sub
ject. The statement jiven out
by Governor Wilson with refer
ence to this conference, the day
on which it took place, express
ly declared that we did not de
sire him in/ol « r ed in the contro
versy and tha' I believed It
would be satisfactorily adjusted.
It has been well known
that the movement was not di
rected against 3enntor Bacon,
but that he sympathized with it

as president pro tempore of the
senate, and his election as
chairman of the committee on.
foreign affairs. Senator Bacon
has been so uniformly consid
erate and helpful to me in my
senatorial work and we arc. in
such perfect o-opuration in the
discharge of our duties, that I
regret any effort to create in
Georgia a contrary impression.

THE CAUSE OF PELLAGRA.
There are two views as to the
cause of pellagra. According to one,
pellagra, Is a disease cauied by an
undue use of corn In the diet or by
the use of spoiled corn. This view
places pellagra in the same class
with beriberi and scurvy. Accord
