Captain j. n. Rogers, of F'reeport,
one Of the most popular and we'll
known steamboat men in this part of
the country, yesterday assumed com
mand of the river steamer Eugene, OPP
Grated between Pensacola and Choc-
tawhatchee by the Walton Land &
Timber Company of DeFuniak. Cap
tain Rogers, who succeeds Captain
Norman McCloud, also a well-known
steamboat man, was about year or
more ago in command Of the river
steamer Capt. Fritz.
Heretofore the Eugene has been
used mainly in hauling freight for the
company which operates it, but it is
understood that with the change of
commanders the steamers schedule
will be changed and an effort to secure
outside business will be made.
The Eugene left at o'clock yester-
day evening for Choctawhatchee and
is due back in Pensacola at p. m.

What is the use of having to pay

''The writer overheard the CONVEX

The entire country read with ap-

William r. Nelson, editor and owner
OF the Kansas City Star, is not guilty
of contempt of court and is not to be
punished for his published article on

asked that the suit be withdrawn or

Paris. April 29.-Paris, phase, bored
old Paris, whose whole life has been
one succession of startling events, so
that now it is aroused by but few SEN
sations, is openly and confessedly all
agog over the latest developments in
garments for wonen-the pantaloon
skirt and its equally daring sister, the
glove skirt.
Paris, home of modistes and storm
center of fashions which dominate the
civilized world, has seen the hobble
skirt, the directoire, and countless
other daring varieties of the eccentric
as adapted to women's dress. Time
after time, it has seemed that the ex-
treme of fashion has been reached, and
time after time the extremes thus set
have been passed by daring designers

GREAT BRITAIN WANTS
GUATEMALA TO PAY UP

London. April 29-The British gov
eminent today denied the published
report that 1t had sent an u.timatuan
to Guatemala. At the foreign Office It
was said that all that had been done
so far was to make a renewed pre-
sentation Of Great Britain's urgent de-
mand for the payment of Guatemala's
indebtedness, the bulk of which has
been owing for twenty-five years
No date was mentioned for the pre-
sentation Of Guatemala's reply nor
were threats of reprisals made by
Great Britain. The foreign ONCE
points out that the time for such ac-
tion has not yet arrived as Great
Britain is still awaiting the answer Of
Guatemala.

1t is a skirt Of the familiar hobble
variety slit to the knee so that it's VIC
tim may propeI herself as nature in
tended she should. The loose ends of
the flaps are sewed to the rear of the
skirt, so that what would otherwise be
a bifurcated effect really presents from
the front the similitude of a pair Of
boomers with the retaining elastics
broken, so that they extend to the
ankles.
The glove skirt is equally true to
It's name and startling in its effect.

off at the bottom to a quantity of cloth

force restricts activity on the part Of
the wearer and forces upon her the &C

more mincing than that which the

Business Government
For Cities.

The time is coming when every city
in the country will be governed by
business men on business principles.
ut is a rather difficult thing to pry the
old system loose and in some towns
the feat seems almost an impossi-
bility But eventually municipal af-
fairs will be run on business prin-
cipIes.
The increase in taxes, the inequali-
ties of taxation. the want of public
improvements and the high cost OF
mediocre work, will all be corrected in
time. The community spirit is gain
ing ground and it is noticed that where
the people work together, the greatest
progress exists The progressive young
element of the age viii demand and is
demanding a commission government
and well qualified commissioners as
well. The day of the ward politician

Secretary Burleson's
Opportunity.

A man was heard to remark that
the postoff1ce department is the only
branch Of the government in which all
rights. as a letter bearing a two cent
stamp will be carried swiftly across
the continent whether the writer is a
humble and obscure individual or a
powerful corporation.
This statement made at random is
is given more autocratic power by con-
gress than is granted to any other
head of a governmental department.
The department itself is a gigantic
business enterprise. but often it has
not been conducted on business prin-
cip1es.
Many reforms are needed in the de-
partment to increase the efficiency of
the service and most of these must be
inaugurated. but congress by the head
OF the department can do a great deal
under existing laws.
Postmaster General Burleson has
done well in the beginning and a.
splendid opportunity lies ahead OF him.
He has the power to accomplish much,
especially in the parcels post branch OF
the business. And by carrying out his
expressed intention of placing all post
masters of the fourth class under the
examination rules OF the civil service
he can add largely to their efficiency
and can nullify the political designs of
President Taft who made the sweep
ing order placing them under the rules
