JAPAN ADVISED TO GO SLOW.

London, May 3l.-Tn an editorial
on the California situation the Stand
ard advises Japan to deal with the
question as a purely business matter
rather than to import into It senti-
nents Of offended racial and national
pride.
"As the allies Of Japan and the
firm friends Of the United States the
British people would deem 1t mis-
fortune of the first magnitude II the
negotiations left behind feelings of
evaporation on either side." 1t says.
The Japanese are advised to go
slow in making an issue of the race
question, which, II allowed to devel-
op, would oblige Japan eventually to
face the United Western world.
1T is unthinkable," says the
Standard. in conclusion, that Great
Britain could view with indifference
any disposition on the part of her
present allies to attack America.

Tallahassee, Fla, May 31.-(Spe-
cal)-Carney's school bill desig-
mating that the ballot should carry
three columns with regard to the dis
tribution of the school fund was
passed in the Senate yesterday by a
close vote. Immediately upon its pre-
sentation to the House it was known
to be an obnoxious measure and on
its recall to the Senate it was
promptly killed. The Senate spent
tie mornins in amending Goldstein's S
general revenue bill arriving at sec
ton l3 before adjourning.
The House considered nothing but
LEGAL bills and as usual there was no
other order.
The local option drainage bill by
Brown of Polk No. 644 and the SEN
ate companion bill passed the House
this morning. Many drainage pro-
jectS in Florida are waiting the
enactment OF this bill. Owners OF
contiguous property in Polk county

EARTIN'S TENURE
STILL UNCERTAIN.

Washington, d. c., May 81
IL is learned that although John
w. Martin has been confirmed by
the Senate as collector of customs at
Jacksonville, he will hold office only
until July /, if the general customs
re rganization plan is put into ef-
feet. II tho bill introduced by SEN
ator Fletcher a few days ago to sus-
pend the Taft reorganization order
is passed, 1t is quite probable hc will
hold Office as collector at Jackson
Vile for two years after July /. Un-
der the present arrangement he will
te automatically put out of Office on
July l by the reorganization plan
which abolishes the post of collector
ct Jacksonville, aud contemplates
only one collector---tho collector for
the Florida district.
Martins nomination was held up
in the Senate for some days until
1t was determined what his status
would be, If confirmed. Both Flor
lea senators have all along contend
o. that his term of Office would ex-
pire automatically on July l., but
representative L'Engle claimed he
had discovered a "nigger in the wood
pi.ee" and that Martins term would
continue for four years. That the
senators were right is now shown
cCnclusivcly.

Toxic, May 31-Another note from
Japan dealing with the question

that the United States has not spok-

and authorities intimate that Japan
will not initiate an official action In
the matter. The formation of a
Japanese Association in the United
States to cooperate with the Japa-

here. The object Of the association
will be to reach the permanent solu-

Nat Bryan asks for Higher Tariff On

(By Winfield ! Jones.

Washington, May 31.-Another
step was taken towards securing for,
Florida permanent maneuver grounds
for the State National Guard when
Senator Overman, of North Carolina,
introduced in the Senate recently
,oint resolution authorizing the sec-
letary of war to accept title to ap-
proximately 5000 acres of land at
Iullahoma, Tenn, on which to mob
illze the militia from the States Of
Florida, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Kentucky, Mississippi. Alabama.
Georgia and Tennessee. This is SIM
liar to the resolution introduced in
the House few days ago by Repre-
sentative Byrns. Of Tennessee. Sem
atCrs Fletcher and Bryan are taking
Srcat interest in the proposition, be-
lieving it has considerable merit. A
number Of citizens in the vicinity of
Tullahoma have offered to donate the
land to the government If arrange
ments can be made to have the mill
tias from the eight States mobilize
there annually.
Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff
Of the army, is enthusiastically in
favor OF the proposition and believes
that it would be an immense advan-
tasc to the National Guards of the
country il several States would ar
rGnge to maneuver their guards at
the same time and place. 1t has
been pointed out On numerous occa-
SONS that what are volunteer troops
need most Is experience in maneuver-
ing by brigades. Most Of our volun-
tcers are fairly efficient in company
drills, but have never had the advan-
tage Of practicing brigade maneuvers
such as are essential In time Of war.
