developed the possibilities Of fraud in the
present system Of leaving the title OF
stocks bought on margin in the names OF
the brokers making the transactions. The
whole machinery OF obtaining loans on
stock exchange collateral by which trad
ing on margin is made possible depends
on this practice. and it is not belived
that any measure intended to do away
with this practice will hold water because
of the Gripping effect on the whole struc-
ture Of stock trading. which is a recog-
nized necessity In our commercial struc-
ture.
Proposal to Supervise Accounts.
Another proposed reform within the ex-
change is the appointment Of an auditing
committee to supplement the work Of the
eleven committees now intrusted with the
administration Of the exchanges affairs.
which would have functions similar to
those Of the state and national bank
examiners and regularly wise the books
Of stock exchange houses with the View
Of preventing such practices as were re-
vealed in the Mcintyre & Coster, Knapp
& Co. firms after their failure.
One of the greatest objections to such
an examination is the importance to stock
exchange houses of keeping secret their
market position as well as the identity
of their clients. The latter consideration
might be served by the use OF numbers
or code words in identifying customers
accounts. as Is now often practiced, but
no method has yet been suggested Of con-
cealinE a firms market position.

CHINA JhPAn
CONCLUSIONS
China to Pay Japan $4,000
and Retain Arms That
Were Seized.
BY Associated Press.

Picking, March 1.-THE negotia-
tons looking to settlement of the
difficulty between China and Japan
out of the seizure by China of the
Japanese steamer Tatsu Maru are
making favorable progress.
The Chinese foreign board today
approved the draft of document In
which China accepts the proposal Is
made by Japan yesterday. China will
pay Japan II 900 yen (about s10,700)
and retain the arms that form the
cargo of the Tatsu Maru, and she
will also pay about 10000 taels de-
murrage on the steamer. 1t is ex-
pected that the Tatsu Maru will be
March 10.
In addition, Japan agrees to adopt
and enforce strict regulations TO pre-
vent future traffic in arms and am
munition from Japan into China, but
she refuses to include the territory
of Macao in this limitation
China win soon take up negotiations
with Portugal regarding the contra
band traffic at Macao. She hopes
that an accurate deliniation of Portu-
gese waters at Macao now will be
obtained and that the gambling for
which Macao is notorious, as we'll as
the smuggling done through that
port, may be materially restricted.

Editor Pensacola Journal:
Prease allow me space in your Vox
Popuh column for the following letter.
In your editorial on Mr.. Bryan as
answering the question of what is a
man to do in a financial panic who is
out of employment and starving, you
laud him on his clear and logical
answer, when in fact he failed to
answer it at all He did give good
answer TO what we must do for the
man, also he gave good advice as how
to prevent such an occurrence.
! Now l dc. not claim to be as wise
Mayes; both are men of minds that
are ahead of the times, men that I'M
derstand political economy and cur
rent issues better than l possibly can,
but there is difference between
theory and practice, and the many
writers on the subject seem to be so
far from the scene until they are
like Miss Quackenbos, writing about
something of which they know moth
ing or of which they have only skim
| med the surface
If 1 understand the question, it is,
what is man to do who is out Of
employment in financial panic and
Is starving? The very question car
man is out Of work because he can
get no work to do, and that includes
even carpets to beat Why? For
the reason set forth in the question
that there is financial panic and
public works are at a standstiH and
that those who employ help when con-
dltlonS are nODmal are no longer en-
ploying help because they do not need
1T. The manufacturer shuts the mill
down because he cannot sell the
goods, the railroads lay off their
crews because there is no traffic. the
merchant lays off some Of his help
he does not need, for if men are out
OF employment they cannot buy goods
and have plenty time to beat the car
pets, cut wood and do the gardening.
Nor is Socialism. an answer. It ia
preventive or might be prevent
i've If practicable, which is very
doubtful. Thomas Morus at the COM
mencement OF the sixteenth century
advocated Socialism, that is he de-
nounced or condemned individual
property in terms more definite than
the Socialist of today does Or can.
and since his day many have adyo-
Gated the same theory, and with what
results? There are still classes. there
are still labor and capital. and there
will be as long as there are men, for
all men are not equal, all men have
not the same capacity nor can an act
OF legislative body make them SO.
Socialism is wiser than Jehovah.
for did he not create masters and
servants? Has He not said. through
his inspired servants. Servants, 1obey
your mdSteTS"2
But let us get back to the question
and see If it can be answered and
what the answer is. There can be
but one answer to it, What is man
to do who is out of work in a finan-
cial panic and is starving? He must
either beg, steal or starve.

factional politics in which all the can

PENSACOLA FLORIDA, MORNING MARCH Is 1908.
Never Such Chances for
Young Men as Now.

We talk about hard times, and the
oppression Of pooled capital, and the
rich grinding the face of the poor,
and monopoly shutting out the small
dealer, and the diminishing chances
for the ordinary citizen Of limited
means to take the initiative in any
commercial or industrial enterprise.
We don't deny it; there is truth in it,
but all the same there never was a
period in the worlds history when
competent men who have learned to
do one thing thoroughly we'll or who
were strong in executive ability, were
so much in demand as they are now.
This is an age of corporations and
not all the politics can stay their
progress, and the corporations are
hunting for good men, competent men
to take charge Of the various branches
Of their business at salaries away
ahead OF those paid in former eras
of our development.
1t is idle to protest against the de-
crees of evolution. The corporations
are here and here to stay, and to
grow stronger every year. The PEI
pie must and will regulate them and
keep them in their just relation to
the body polite, but assuming that
to be true-and it is true-we must
provide the men to operate these cor
porations in all their numerous d.
visions and subdivisions 1t will
take thousands of them, highly train
ed to do so, and here lies the hope
of the country, especially of Shs
South.
We are reminded to say this be
cause We see in the dispatches that
General Manager Garrett, of the Sea
board Air Line. has been called to
the management of the Atlantic
Coast Line, greater corporation, be-
cause OF his remarkable executive
ability. Garrett started out a plain.
everyday Mississippi boy, honest, in
telligent, energetic and ambitious. and
now he is at the top. Running down
through the various grades we find
similar types commanding fine sara
ries and doing much better than they
could have ever done on their indi
vidual initiative in individual enter
prises.
And as with railroads, so with the
other numberless forms of corporate
enterprise-the man who can do one
thing well is in demand all the time
and at good pay. Old things have
passed away and we live in a new era
under new conditions, burt now as
ever, 1t Is the man OF character who
wins out, and under the dominion of
the corporation there are more and
richer prizes hung up to be secured
by worthy men than ever before.
Never in the worlds history was there
such an insistent demand for
first class. mon in all the num-
berless forms of human activity
as now But they must be high
standard men, sober, industrious.
trustworthy, highly skilled and special

had the call. His day is over. The
world demands a higher grade of
workmen now and it will pay them
better than they were ever paid be-
fore.

Pensacola and
the Tourists.

The attractions of Pensacola as a
tourist resort during the winter
months have been discovered by the
northern public without much help
on the part of the people of Pensacola
We have a fine northern colony
here now, nice people without eXcep-
rion,. spending the winter with us
and spending money. too, and if we
would properly advertise the city and
its advantages through the northern
states we would get very many more
winter residents from that section
than we do now. We probably have
a hundred or a hundred and fifty
people in Pensacola now from the
north, who are here to escape the
winter rigors of their home climate.
They have been here from one to
three months and will be here for
spends at least $3.50 while he is IN
Pensacola, that much hard cash put
into circulation right here.
Suppose we have thousand such
tourists every winter. 1t would mean
$150,000 added annually to our wealth.
What investment could possibly pay
better for the amount invested? And
we have to invest nothing beyond ad
vertising the advantages of Pensacola
as a winter resort and providing the
lists comfortable after they get here
and give them good time.
These northern tourists TO Pensa-
>cola are very quiet, modest and IN
assuming set, but they are almost in
vartably superior people, the kind
that make the nation strong in the
body of its citizenship and they don't
come here 10 seek vice nor dissipa-
ton, nor frivolity. They love our
bland and restfuI climate, in such
marked contrast with the one they
left. and they are here to recuperate
their energies, get away from the snow
and ice and blizzards and put in sew
era1 months OF solid comfort.
Especially do they love the grand,
farStretching bay with it's clear salt
water sparkling under a genial south
ern sun, and they want to battle in
it aud dabble around like children in
It's clean, heaith-restoring waters.
They want to go to il every day and
they want the transportation, the bath
houses and other facilities which they
have a right to expect under the cir
c1rmstances, and without worrying
every day to get them.
We doubt if there are such facili-
ties lrp to the standard required, and
# would certainly pay local enterprise
to provide them. Your northern
tourist always pays his way Oh 1erfuI-
ay, but he wants good service and is
a vigorous and honest kicker if he
don't get it. Pensacola has neg ected
this large asset of the nos thern
winter tourist travel, and it is high
time that she was waking up =: her
opportunity in this direction. If we
would advertise like the East Coast
and then provide the hotel, boating
and bathing facilities to accommo-
date our patrons we could easily
bring thousand northern people
here every winter to stay for several
months. for We have every advantage
of the East Coast in point of natural
attractions.
The Journal would like to hear
from some northern tourist now l.
our city on this question. Our col
umns are open TO him. Let him speak
freely and tell just what he would
like to have here that he misses.
