'DEpLORES FAILURE
TO SECURE LOAN
Chinese Minister Presents
a Letter to the
Bankers

Peking, February 5.--The Chinese
minister of finance today presented a
letter to the SIX power group of bank
ers. deploring circumstances which pre-
vented signing the loan agreement and
consequent failure of the bankers
pledged to make Immediate advances
tThe minister points out that the gov
ernment is urgently in need of funds
and that failure to obtain them will
place the country in a dangerous posi-
tion. and adds
According to the proposed agree
ment. the six powef loan was secured
tion of this hereafter be hypothecated
as security and a loan contracted with
lanother party, ii would be necessary
lproportionately to reduce the s125, ,O0O,-
600 as stipulated in the six power
agreement. in the event of a future
agreement with this group.
1T was not my original intention to
make such condition, but there has
been so much delay on your part and
so many side issues have been pushed
forward that | am constrained to do so,
however, reluctant l feel to take such a
course"
Thus while the loan field in China
is apparently still open TO the six pow
er group. it is now also open to the
first conner, wholly or in part.
New York, February 5.-Confirmation
of reports from Peking of a further
hitch in the Chinese loan negotiations
was received by American representa-
tives of the syndicate today. Some of
the objections advanced by the French
bankers were quite unexpected, it was
said, but these, the American bankers
thought, probably will be sustained be-
cause of the predominance of French
interests in the proposed loan.
1t appears Russia is to finance only
half of her one-sixth interest. while the
Japanese participation viii be financed
entirely by the French In effect.
France is to supply nearly half of the
loan. For that reason the American,
the British and German bankers are
willing to eoncede some of the claims
made by the French group.

L'ENGLE's BOOST FOR WOODROW
WILSON

One of the best recommendations |
we have heard for Woodrow Wilson
since he has been in the White House
is the recent sensational statement of
Congressman Claude LEngle that
Woodrow is not his kind of a presi-
dent. Claude comes out with his GUS
tomary modesty and admits that the
polished Princetonian is not running
the government the least bit as he
(Claude) would run it, and as Wood
row is not disposed to take any adj
vice from him he is frank to admit
that he believes that a good school
teacher was spoiled to make a presi-
dent, who thinks more highly OF the
vital affairs of the government than
he thinks of playing petty politics as
he (Claude) and other small fry office
hungry Florida politicians would play
the game. Claude says that when it
comes to demonstrating a problem in
mathematics he believes Woodrow
could shine, but when it comes to
playing politics as he and other pro
gressiyes" of Florida play it the great
historian and statesman is not
there" That being the case we are
inclined to shout "Hurrah for Will
SON."
L'Engle's' adverse statement has
won President Wilson more votes in
Florida than anything that has hap
pened since the 4th of March If
Claude had not promised the boys"
so much they would not have been as
badly disappointed as they are certain
to be. And Claude may soon learn
that patronage for a congressman is
more of a liability than an asset.
Since the above was written Mr..
( I.'Engle has denied that he authoriz-
ed the Washington correspondent to
make any such statement for him.
/ The correspondent claims that Claude
did say it. and knew that he would be
quoted when he said it. So it is now
a question of veracity between Mr..
L'Engle and the correspondent
! Pensacola News.

that some of the sensitive, nervously

their guitars, on moonlight nights, I'M

THE INNER LIVES OF SOME OF
OUR RICH MEN

The inner lives of many of our rich
men are as completely unknown as
the soldiers who have died in battle
and whose remains rest under a slab,
marked, unknown"
Until J. Pierpont Morgan died very
few if any believed that he was de-
vout and humble follower of the meek
and lowly Nazarene, but when his
will. was made public the conclusion
was irresistible that no sister of char
ity who walked the streets on her er-
rands of mercy embraced and kissed
the cross more fervently.
Mr.. Flaglers death has occurred
more recently, and more and more
his inner life is being revealed.
In a late issue of the Jasper News
we find the following.
In our opinion the browning glory
of Mr. Flagler's life was not his in
.dustry; was not the great railroad he
constructed; was not the palace no.
tells he erected. but was his substan-
tial sympathy for the poor. We we'll
remember a disastrous year on the
east coast when the crops were a fail
ure and many farmers were reduced
to want. Mr.. Flagler furnished them
money to enable them to make anOth-
er crop, gave them seed to plant their
lands and furnished them free trans
portation on his railroad whenever
RI ydn fhic no did
without fee, or reward, or the hope
thereof This instance of his gener-
osity is only one of the many that we
could recite."
Mr.. Flagfer was an empire builder,
and the development of all sections OF
Florida was his supreme ambition. To
this end he believed that the newspa-
pers were large factors, and if their
efficiency could be increased it would
aid materially in that direction, so it
was suggested to him that the Install
ment of a Mergenthaler typesetting
machine in every country printing Of
flee in Florida would be a useful and
wise form of philanthropy. The sug-
gestion, after being somewhat Sc
riously debated, was abandoned on
the ground that sinister motives would
be imputed to him if he were to so!
crafty his ambition, and it would be-
heralded over the land that he was
trying to influence the press for some
bold and revolutionary designs, per
haps to raid the treasury, steal the
public lands, or in some way to OPP
press the poor.
We believe this to be the golden
age of philanthropy; we are convinced
that no other age begins to approach
it, but benevolent as it is, we believe
that it would be greatly more SO il
our rich men were not unduly CRITICS
ed, and their good deeds tainted with
groundless suspicious of wrong doing.
They are simply afraid to give, and
we have known the gifts of some of
them returned to them on the ground
that their money is tainted"
So their good intentions and wise
benevolences are often thWarted.

SPENcER'S "LoNG AND SHORT
HAUL" BILL

MI. TANK l.. f1ulIdk0T, COInHcHIlHS
on the efficacy of Mr.. Edwin Spencer's
long and short houl" bill, says:
One of the greatest victories achiev-
ed for the people of this state during
this session of the legislature has
been the passage of what is now
known as the long and short haul bill.
the bill provides that no railroad com
pany shall charge more for short
haul than it does for long haul over
the same line, and in the same direc-
ton 1t is an exact copy of the inter
state commerce act relative to the
same matter The bill further pro-
vides that a railroad company may
upon application to the railroad com
mission secure relief in certain in
stances from the application Of the
bill. where the enforcement of the pro-
visions thereof would be confiscatory.
1t also provides that the present
rates shall under no circumstances be
raised where the rates have been re-
duced to meet water competition.
In speaking of the bill, Representa-
tive Edwin Spencer of Marion said:
st would seem strange to many
people who have not informed them
selves upon this question that such
bill would be necessary, for it GER
tainly seems strange that railroad
company should charge more for
freight from Jacksonville to Tallahas-
see than it does from Jacksonville to
Pensacola, or that it should charge
more from Jacksonville to Ocala than
it does from Jacksonville to Tampa,
yet this is the case.
"As a result of this discrimination
in favor of seaport towns the interior
of the state of Florida has long been
at the mercy of the railroad com
panies.
"The argument of the railroad COM
panies has always been that it is ne
cessary to lower the rate to the sea
port city in order to meet water com
petition, but a close examination of
the rates from Jacksonville to Tampa
and from Jacksonville to Ocala will
disclose the fact that that argument
is certainly not logically carried out,
since on many articles the rate is
II tn a M
pa than from Jacksonville to Ocala,
and on others higher, Notwithstanding
water competition on all articles.
mot long ago l was discussing the
of a factory for Ocala
with interested parties, who were
thinking of spending some money
here. AS soon as7they examined the
freight rates, however, and found that
hey could secure a much better rate
over either the Seaboard or Coast
Line from Tampa than Ocala, they
declined.
"As an illustration of this unjust
the rate on first class
freight per hundred pounds as as fol-
lows:
From Jacksonville to Tampa, soc.
"From Jacksonville to Ocala, &c.
From Jacksonville to Leesburg,
CSC, etc.
"On second class freight:
From Jacksonville to Tampa, 43c.
From Jacksonville to Ocala, 5Sc.
con third class freight;
From Jacksonville to Tampa, SAC.
From Jacksonville to Ocala, SOC.
ION -four, the rate:
"Fram Jacksonville to Tampa is 21c.
per barrel.
From Jacksonville to Ocala is 29c.
per barrel.
"Ocala is used as an Illustration
simplv because of the fact that Ocala
is about half way between Jackson
vile and Tampa.

fected by the provisions of this bill"
