SERVANTS BILL MAY
 LEAD J: s. TO WAR
-Rtp. Humphrey Dec ats in House
 Japan Will Resent Action.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-In the course of the debate in the House yesterday on the seaman's bill, which was passed without the formality of a roll call, the suggestion was made by republican leaders that the enact ment of the measure into law at this time may lead to trouble with one or another of the belligerent powers of Europe. It was further suggested by a republican member from the Pa cific coast that if the bill became a law in the form in which it passed the House we will have war with Japan in thirty days"
 Despite these alarmist views not even the men who uttered them asked for roll call when the bill was called up on its final passage. Demo- crats scon at the suggestion that the proposed seaman's law has anything in it that will be likely to lead to serious international complications. Increases Operation Cost.
 However, it is admitted by dem > cratic leaders that the seaman's bill will increase the cost of operation of A trade. It provides for better wages. imposes retrictions that are bound to prove expensive to owners and re- quires the -insta1lation of safety ap- paratus of all kinds on a much more elaborate scale than now obtains.
 Complaint is now made that the democratic administration should not s give countenance to such bill at Q time when the United States finds it. self practically unable to find ships to transport it's products to foreign mar kets- It Is pointed out tthat-the-demo- crats. having Just passed emergency legislation designed to decrease the cost of. operating vessels under the American flag have now. in response to the demands of labor unions, put through bill adding further expenses.
 Passed Senate Year Ago.
 The seaman's bill, in a more drastic [ form, passed the. senate a year ago. It was brought out of committee and passed by the House upon the insist ence of organized. labor. Tn order to frustrate efforts made by organized labor to strengthen the restrictive features of the measures the leaders were obliged to bring it in under con- ditions that prohibited the offering of amendments.
 Section 1e of the bill is the provi- ~1sion that critics of the measure fear may lead to international complica- tions. In the bill arrest as a punish ment for desertion is abolished. This applies to foreign as we'll ae American seamen, and section 16 provides that ninety days after the passage of the act the President shall give notice of intention on the part of the United States to terminate all treaties and ' conventions in so far as they provide for the arrest and Imprisonment of American seamen who desert in for. eign countries and foreign seamen who desert in the United Stats. The bill also provides that upon the end of d

 Meanwhile the approaches to the station are thronged with sightseers and citizens, who express regret that the marines were not landed sooner
 The British officers declare they did not land sooner because of ob- jections by the local authorities, who held meeting in the town hall. where several prominent local offi- cials objected to the British landing on the ground that It would frighten the hotel visitors. The fighting at Snaeskerke on Tuesday changed the minds of these objecrors, and the city fathers did forthwith ask and the British government sent marines.

The story industriously circulated
for weeks past that P. A. Holt was
managing the campaign of Senator
Fletcher and the further story that
Herbert Felkel was working at the
same job have both received their
authoritative denial and should be
heard of no more. j. M. Cathcart
secretary to Senator Fletcher, in an
swer to an inquiry, telegraphed the
following to Il. V. Moore of Mi

Replying to your telegram will
say that statement in The Metropo-
lis is false and unwarranted Felkel

Holt is in Jacksonville attending to

Chairman Neel of the State tax
commission, which insists on full
cash valuation of lands rendered for
taxes, tells the Pensacola Journal
that if all the assessors in the State
will pledge themselves to comply
with the resolution passed at the
late assessors convention favoring
SO per cent basis of valuation, the
commission will yield the point and
not insist on full value for this
year This would seem to intimate
that next year it might be different
and the commission would insist on
its previous order of full cash valua-
ton. 1t would be interesting to note
what would take place if an attempt
should be made to enforce the or
der. Would it be necessary to man

State?

Men who have devoted their lives
to cattle raising in the west, have
declared after investigating condi.
lions here in Florida that there is
no better country anywhere for
that purpose and that growing "beet
on the hoof" should be one of our
most profitable industries. The fol.
lowing dispatch from Kissimmee
shows that at least one of these
western cattle men means just what
he says:
"Some time ago Mr.. Rogers, a
large cattleman from McCool, Neb.
investigated conditions around Kis-
simmee, and was decidedly i'm
pressed with what he saw. He re-
turned to his western home, settled
his affairs there and will move his
large ranch to Osceola county. He
intends to. raise cattle in large num-
bers, and his decision shows that he
has much faith in the future devel-
opment of this part of Florida"

President Wilson's usual good
judgment in selecting the right man
for the place was we'll illustrated by
his nomination of Percy W. Maer,
editor of the Columbus Miss. J
Dispatch, for the position of collect
or of customs at Mobile, Ala. Mr..
Maer is one of the best business men
and one of the best newspaper men
in Mississippi and he has just the per-
sonality and training to make an ef-
f1cient collector. And he has the ca
pacity and character to hold down a
similar job at the largest port in
the country.

HIGH SCHOOL COMMERCIAL COURSE

The school year is nearly over and
the commercial department is max

in a satisfactory manner In this
course. as well as in the preparation
for any other trade or vocation, the
drill sometimes becomes tedious and
monotonous; but every apprentice
must contend with this and profit by
his experience.

Ten are enrolled in the complete,

in the short, or two year course, and
others taking part in the work as an
elective. No one completes the
course this year, but we have two
juniors and the one in the short

are, however, few that have com

can do very fair along that line. Two
