NATIONAL CIVIC BODY IS
 DIVIDED ON MARINE BILL
Majority Report Denouncing Measure is RejecedMcAdoo Burton and Redfield Speak Bill-Address Turns
 Into Near Debate-Annual Banquet Held

speech denoIncing private shipping in- terests for their treatment of shippers and appealing for support in providing a remedy for the overseas shipping sit- uation. He declared America could add s100 oo0.o0o a month to its foreign trade now if it could ship the stuff
 Of the worlds markets open to Amer ican commerce and closed because of the lack of ships. the secretary said:
 T have had a dispatch from the prime minister of a great country almost beg ging-let us say strongly urging-that America take the place in this country Europe had laid aside. I have another from monarch himself. a European power, saying frankly that he wants America to come into his land and take the place which others hitherto have done.
 Tn my belief it would be easy to add a hundred millions a month to our foreign trade now if we could ship the stuff. I have personally seen within lo days on the wharves in Galveston and New Orleans tens of thousands of dol lars worth of American goods for which there Is no possible means Of transmits sion at all. God help the man who says it shall be tolerated in this country that a steamship company shall cynically do that thing which would send railroad man to jail.
 The Monopoly
 By what right does any steamship company say to me in my factory, when l offer them a shipment of goods. We will select from your shipment that which pays us the most: the rest We will not take That is what is happening in every American seaport"
 Referring to the steps necessary to lessen interference with American com merce by belligerent warships MT. Red field said:
 What will you do. practically do, tc stop crooked manifests, incomplete man. ifests things concealed, things painted to resemble other things? Why must it be necessary to have one crook throw 8 shadow upon all American commerce? hope this body and every body represen- tative of the honor of America. will say these things ought not to be. and will condemn them, not by silence but by speech and action

Some School Suggestions

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Alabama schools are a state issue. The United States gave the state sections 16 and SS in every township for education. It has lately given Auburn $50,0Oo Why this talk of local assistance in the state s business?
 Put an extra $1, or even g, valuation on every acre of uncultivated land in the state, the tax therefrom to go to schools. These lands are largely held by specu- lators who ought to pay.
 Pay teachers good salaries. Where at- tendance is large, have special teachers for the following studies; where few, the teachers must also qualify in these
 Hire no teacher who uses intoxicants or tobacco.
 Furnish free all school books, free tools and material for boys, giving each the product of his hands. Free stoves, uten- sils and raw food, washing machines and laundry equipment all of the hest and latest improvements: all scholars to have their wearing apparel cared for free by relays of boys and girls in turn.
 The product from cooking to be served the school free for monday meal.
 Girls to be taught sewing. knitting. etc., with material free. Each to get the prod uct of her hands free.
 Put three outside closets at every school apart for teachers. girls and boys (this should also be done at every church).
 These expenses would be nothing com pared with money not only spent foolish-

 PUGILISM.
 Dr. Glow is rounding the boys into shape at the Athletic club and every thing is in readiness for the stag next Monday night O 'Brien of Jackson vile is doing some strenuous train- ing and with Al Wambsgands of New OrleanS, ms opponent, III BoOu sHdpe, a crack-a-jack bout is looked for.
 
 O'Brien practices in the B. A. c. gymna sium every afternoon. His ideas on training are very radical and original, so it seems to an observer. He places two husky persons sev- eral paces away from him with heavy medicine ball These huskies throw the ball at O'Brien, who re- ceives it on his head and face. O Brien states he does this to harden his face to blows from opponents.
 MT. O'Brien, that medicine ball com edy may please you, but for us ero- quet and chess does not demand such strenuous training, and thusly it is more congenial to our temperament. Our idea of a life of toll and pain is that of an aspiring young pugi- list.
 "Rube Heine of Avondale is also actively training for his bout with the fiery Red Holt of Fairfield at the B. A. c. next Monday night. Heinie boxes every afternoon with O'Brien and from reports keeps the welter- weight from Jacksonville jumping around. One thing about Heinie is that he packs an awful wallop in either mitt and we. feel sorry for Red Holt.
