briefly, that the new league be main

the national agreement, whic hwill
require he consent and approval of
the Southern League in order to gain

Well, you remember when the
American League started no?

Sherman said war-was.
But it sticks in our craw that the
American League is very much with
us to-day.
Nevertheless and Notwithstanding
which, this is not by way Of being a
declaration OF a Declaration Of War
by the said Dixie League progenitors.
Not by long slide
THE Dixie League is saving its
wood in a commercially peaceful
and peaceable manner. II is in cor

Washington, May 6.-Distressed with

working girl, Mrs. Christian Dominique
Hemmick- of this town has come for
ward with a suggestion which she be-
lieves will bring happiness again to
the ranks of working girls. Skirts

walking diff cult and disasreeable, If
not impossible Mrs. Hemmick sug-
gests trousers why not" she asks,
Substitute comfortable and sensible
trousers for the working woman's
present dress?''
AS a ''sociaI leader and dictator of
style" Mrs. Hemmick has been asked
to set the example to the working girls
by wearing trousers herself. This she
declines to do on the ground that So
Getty women. having vehicles at their
own command, are not seriously lncon-
Venienced by the present styles.
The working women OF the national
capital, at least, have paid little heed
to the suggestion about wearing Jrous-
ers. Mems clothing stores haven't
done any more business since the sug-
gestion was made than they did be-
fore.

twenty-one miles; Honolulu seven
thousand, five hundred and fifty eight;
Callao seven thousand, one hundred

Panama and Magellan routes. Be-
tween Pensacola and Yokahoma, there
is saving of five thousand, six hum

between you and Shanghai three thou
sand, seven hundred and siXty-siX, and
between you and Hong Kong one thou
sand. eight hundred and seventy two
nautical miles. These latter distances
represent the difference between the
Panama and Suez routes.
SUGGESTIVE FIGURES.
These are suggestive figures. An
important effect of the opening of
the canal must be to increase your
imports. The gulf ports are surely
destined to be the points from which
the greater portion of the imports from
tropical and oriental countries shall
be distributed, and bring about a trade
which shall be better balanced between
you and the markets beyond. Pen
sacola's exports of cotton manufac-
tured goods last year amounted to
more than eleven millions of dollars.
You shipped out more than three and
a half millions of pitch pine lumber.
The naval stores industry seems to
be shifting down here from up where
I came from-from North Carolina,
the tar heel state-for I see that you
shipped last year three million, two
hundred and ninety-seven dollars
worth of naval stores. With the en-
ergy of your own people, and with the
advantage the gulf ports have of abil-
ity to bring the railroad and the
steamer side by side at terminals
where freight can be economically
handled, your progress and prosperity
in commerce ought to go forward by
leaps and bounds
NEVER HAD BETTER TIME.
81 wish to say that I never had a
better time in my life than that which
spent in this city today. You have
a beautiful city, a hospitable people,
a glorious climate and what else
could one wish for?

rotary of the navy, / knew nothing

much about it now as does my friend,
Frank Mayes, who lives and has lived
on the coast for years. But I had to
go to school and learn these things,
and I am at school now.
81 accepted your cordial invitation
to come to this city and l am mighty
glad I came"
The secretary in his characteristic
manner, with a semi squint of the eye
said that in his opinion there had
never been but two really great pres
Lincoln and Wood
row W1lson-and that he hoped that
his audience would be as liberal in
their applause as was the New York
audience which he recently addressed.
He explained his contention by say
ing that they were the only two pres
idents who ever possessed the dip1o
macy to appoint newspaper man
secretary of the navy.
Mr.. Daniels further said that it was
the intention of the present occupant
of the White House to make this
national administration. Not to en-
force a law in Pennsylvania and to
make concessions for Florida. In other
