Toxic, June 29.-An anti-American
meeting was held here last night and a
resolution was adopted declaring the
Japanese cabinet had failed to set
tie the California question, and that
the time had arrived for the people
to assume a more determined attitude,
to extend national prestige.
The meeting was attended by a
number of agitators, two opposition
members of parliament, deciding to
further arouse public opinion by anti
American meetings. The speakers ad-
vocated the most radical measures
towards the United States. They are
the same men who daily tried to stir
up the Japanese public last month.

SEN. OWENS TALKS
ON CURRENCY BILL
Chairman of Senate Finance Commit
tee Says Financial Operations in the
United States Should Be Governed
Exclusively by the People.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, June %. - Senator
Owens, chairman of the senate finance
committee, issued a statement today
explaining the terms of the admins
ira ton currency bill. He believes 1t
will be law before the end of Sep
TENDER. He said the chief end in view
will make the bank reserves more mo-
bile, and provide an elastic currency
for times of need. He expressed the
belief that the federal reserve banks,
established purely for the purpose of
making stable the commercial and fl
nancial operations in the United
States, and should be governed ex-
clusively by United States people.
He does not think it proper to al
low private persons to have represen-
tation on the federal reserve board. In
a statement he says, he believes the
national banks generally will rejoice
at the opportunity afforded them for a
more stable condition in the financial
and commercial world.

RECITAL WILL
Be A FEATURE
ENTERTAINMENT BY STUDENTS
OF PENSACOLA SCHOOL OF MU-
SIC WILL BE AN IMPROVEMENT
OVER PREVIOUS EFFORTS.

The recital to be given tomorrow
evening by the students of the Pensa-
cola School of Music, will be con-
and it will be the interesting and
pleasing task of the faculty TO see to
it that each recital in turn shall exhibit
some degree of progress and improve
ment.
These recitals are intended as a
stimulant to students, inducing them
to do their very best. By concen-
trating on one piece and bringing it
to perfection, the finer details and
niceties of expression receive close at
tentton, and thereby are formed
habits of carefulness and watchfulness
which are hard to break.
We hear a great deal about force of
habit as applied to what is bad, and
endless sermons are preached warn
ing us of the strangle- hold a bad habit
will obtain if allowed to continue.
That is quite right, but the real
game is to use this power, to harness
habit and make it work for us. The
game consists of deciding on a num-
Der of good habits and practicing them
steadily until they obtain a hold upon
u.s. just as bad habits do; and behold
a miracle; the good habits cling, and
insist upon being adhered to; and as
their practice brings mental satisfac-
ton, we get what is known as Joy in
our work"
Every sincere student or business
man or housewife knows the truth
of this, and it is so simple and yet
powerful.
Those who attend the recital will
be convinced of the seriousness of pur-
pose of every one of the thirty per-
formers-the results of two months
work; two months steady, honest work
will be presented to the public for ap-
prevail
Not a piece will be performed but
has had faithful labor bestowed uron
it: and there are young performers
who think as seriously of their share
in the proceedings as the president Of
the United States does of his respon-
sibilities.
That is the right spirit, and it is
hoped that a large and friendly audi
ence will be present as before to give
we'll deserved applause to everyone
concerned
The recital will be given in the
San Carlos auditorium, tomorrow eve
ming at eight O'Clock sharp; and, as
each recital costs the school fifty dol.
lars, a nominal charge of ten cents
will be made for admission. Extra
seating accommodation has been ar
ranged for in view of the crowds who
have attended the previous gatherings.

cola cannot produce, let 1t not stand
in the way of others, but let It offer
every possible inducement and en-
enlargement to secure factories for the
city.
Mayor Greenhut's suggestion of Of
fering free sites for favtories is a wide
awake, progressive one, and should be
encouraged.
There should be a fund created for
this purpose.
A free site under proper conditions,
of course, exemption from taxation for
a term of years, and a building for a
factory, when necessary, and possible,
would look mighty good to many a
manufacturer; and the pay-rolls of a
hundred factories would look mighty
good to the merchants of Pensacola.
Now is the time to join the mayor
in his desire to build UP the city.
The man who has the strength of
conviction to come forward with the
suggestion of free factory sites, is Civ
ing publicity to only small portion of
his scheme to locate factories in Pen
sacola, and we will find that he has
some more splendid ideas which re-
quire only the encoura cement and sup
port of the citizens to bring out.
