EIGHT INSURANCE
BILLS PASSED
BY THE HOUSE

Tallahassee,Fla.f + May .s.-The
Senate consumed the entire morning
in an effort to provide a satisfactory
law to arrange for county deposit
tories, made necessary by the abol-
ishment Of the county treasurers of
the State. Up to noon no agreement
had been reached when adjournment
was taken.
After an hour of pathetic oratory
on the part of Forrest Lake of Sem
mole, the House passed this morning
a bill providing for the appointment
of commission to confer with the
Legislatures of other States in an
effort to rewrite the history of the
South. Although the bill had re-
ceived an unfavorable report, Mr..
Lake brought the matter before the
House in such q forcible manner
trat there was but few votes against
the measure.
Immediately after passing this bill
the House took up the bunch of in
surance measures and at noon had
passed eight of them.

When Peace Shall Have Returned

The belligerent nations involved
in the tragedy of tragedies are pass
ing through a cataclysm of destruc-
tion of life and property. Their
losses in both respects are beyond
our knowledge and even our compre-
hension. Devastation, misery and
suffering are beyond description; |;
even those connected with the par
ticipants by ties of relationship or
otherwise have slight comprehension
of the suffering that is being endur-
ed; and we at this distance cannot
imagine the destruction, damage,
pain and distress which are entailed.
After the swords are sheathed and
the guns are stacked; after the hid
eous noises of battle have ceased and
the nations now involved in desper-
ate struggle are ready for settlement
they will be confronted with many
most difficult problems, the solution
of which will require time and pa
tience, so that the natural progress
towards rehabilitation will be i'm
peded The people as distinguished
from the rulers, will have a voice in
brin ging the war to a close and ii
settlements which - 70 hn rcade
The doctrine of "the divine right of
kings" will be only a recollection
1t is a good guess that many kings
and kingdoms will be occupying
space ON the Transition Slide.
! But after all differences are ad-
justed, the nations now or to be en-
gagged in this colossal conflict

new course and will begin immed-

CLOUDS Of DISTRESS BREAKING
And BUSINESS CONDITIONS
ARE GROWING BETTER

the general public understands and
appreciates these conditions.
Now the time is come when the
business man, even if he represents
large interests, may speak frankly
and freely about any of the import
ant questions which affect him or
those whom he represents. When
and while our attitude and conduct
are above reproach, others will be
willing to heed what we say con-
cernin.g any question in which they
or we may be interested. Indeed, as
heretofore suggested, the leading
nwspapers of this country have been
, fair and reasonable in their advocacy
F, of whatever makes for the advance
ment Of the economic conditions of
this country and in their opposition
to the efforts Of unwise or unthink-
ing or vicious men to the contrary
What follows in my remarks will be
said from the viewpoint of those who
may be directly connected with and
particularly interested in the con-
sderation of economic questions.
The material strength and growth
of the country is of high Importance.
Food, raiment and shelter are alb
solutely essential to the life and
health of the individual. This in in
terwoven with all other questions
A nation of individuals who . are
poverty stricken has little inlluer &C
throughout the world 1t cannot
add much to the happiness of its
citizens. If they are deprived of the
necessities of life they will not list
en- long to the advocate of mere NOR
ais, nor to the speaker on the stump
who seeks political preferment. 1t
therefore behooves every one occu-
plying a position of influence to give
his best thought and endeavor to
the promotion of business success in
this country to the fullest extent
consistent with propriety.

New York, May 2S-In his ad-
dress as President of the American
Iron and Steel Institute at it's eigth
general meeting, held today at the
Waldorf Astoria, Elbert H. Gary,
Chairman of the Board of the United
Stats Steel Corporation. said:
There has recently been manifest
ed disposition to blame the busi-
ness men of the country for not
openly and vigorously protesting
against influences which were cal
/ culated to prevent the natural and
reasonable progress Of economic ef-
fort. Men of prominence and rec
ognized ability have stated in un-
measured terms that 1t Is not only
the right but the duty of the busi-
ness men of this country to boldly
and persistently advocate their
claims and defend their rights. They
have been charged with undue tim
idity for neglecting to appeal to the
sense and fairness of the general
public whenever assailed without
good cause.
That there has been some ground
/ for these criticisms will not be
doubted; but there is another side
/ tn
has not been alone in his seeming
cowardice. There are others large
ly responsible for the general condi-
tionjs, and therefore under obliga-
tions to work for the advancement
OF the public interest," who have been
reluctant to express their real con-
victions. Reference is made to some
of the statesmen of prominence and
ability whose disposition for fail
play is unquestioned. On occa sions
when their voices, If heard in legis-
lative halls, would seem to have been
ent.
In times gone by there have been
reasons for the hesitancy of the bust.
ness man in boldly proclaiming his
rights. The conduct of business by
many men (though small in mum.
Der compared with the total) has moi
always been up to the standard o
propriety. This is not a new sub
ject; it has been frequently advert
ed to by many of us during the last
ten years. AS a consequence there
has been considerable prejudice
against business interests, particul
arly. the larger ones; indeed, it has
been worse than useless to speak in
favor of the protection and growth
of business, for the words would bt
ineffective. So it is not difficult t
understand why, for a period ol
years. business men in this country
suffered in silence.
