HUNDREDS VISIT
FRENCH CRUISER
Pensacola People Inspect Jeanne
dare and Are Entertained

Hundreds of people visited the
French cruiser Jeanne dare yester-
day afternoon and were welcomed
aboard the vessel by the officers and
men of the ship. Boats were con-
stantly plying between the shore and
the vessel from 2:3O o'clock until $50
o'clock in the afternoon.
Officers of the ship We're detailed
by the commanding officer to show
visitors about, and many interesting
details were explained. The vessel
carries $50 men, 90 officers and so
cadet ensigns.
All dU'ing the day the cadets were
out with small sailing craft practic-
ing the art of seamanship. The boats
are similar to American cutters, but
are lugger rugged. Yachtsmen dis
cussed the possibility Of holding
series of races, but it was thought
that the time is too short.
Visitors will be welcome this after
noon and it is expected that a large
number who missed the opportunity
to see the ship yesterday will pay
visit today.

CLUBS BOYS CLEAN
EMPLOYED BOYS

One of the fastest and most interesting
games of basketball played on the Y. NJ.
c. A gymnasium floor was one last
night between the Y. NJ. C. A. employed
boys class and the Clubbs school. When
the dust cleared away and the final
score was called out it was found that
the boys from the Clubbs had the long
end of the score to the tune of 10 to IS.
Every boy on the teams did good play
ing, and to say it was fast boys game
Is saying it mild. Some fancy shots
We're made by most of the boys, but the
leader in goal shooting for the Clubbs
was J. P. Stokes, Jr., who piled up for
his team five of the mine goals made, but
much credit was due each of his team
mates.
For the emplyed boys, honors were
equally divided between Reilly and
Maura, who each made three goals. The
Clubbs boys were elated over their vic
tory, as it was one of their first games
of the season, and being able to take
the long end of a game from the en-
ployed boys, who up to this game had
an unbrozen record for winning.
Other games will be arranged between
these teams in the near future on the
~ floor. Raymond Marsh and Ernest
Lempke refereed the game.

600. O0O-beinG the best they could
hope for. lie stands for practical re-
suits. If you cannot get all you want
and nccd-take what you can get, is
his polcy-and it accomplishcs things.
Mr. Stevenson has made two speeches
in the house that have attracted the
favorable attention of the country, one
cXcorating Ambassador Harvey for
his attempt to make n paltrOon Of
America in the World war. He found
that the doughty colonel had received
his military title at a banquet in
Charleston years ago where he boast
had lain in the woods" during the war
between the states. Mr.. Stevenson's
other speech deals with Attorney Cen
cral Daughcrty's allowing Debs to
come from the Atlanta penitentiary to
Washington some time ago in citizens
clothing and on that fact he bases the
prediction. that Dcbs and all the other
instigators Of treason and sedton dur
ing the World war, will be Iardoned
soon after the German treaty is signed.
Mr.. Stevenson is now working on a
bill to grant equal compensation to Of
fcers in the national army who were
disabled in the World war with officers
in the regular army. AS it now is a
first lieutenant who was in the nation
al army who lost !eg would get only
$50 per month, while a first lieutenant
in the regular army would get $157 per
month. He proposes to wage war on
such gross discrimination and injustice.

DISTRESS IN ENGLAND.
Business Depression Is Sorely Felt by
All the Poorer Glasses.

London, October 13.-The West End
of London was kept in ferment all
afternoon by the marching and count
er marching of large bodies of foot and
mounted police, owing to an announce
ment of the Daily Herald that the un-
employed planned to hold demonstra-
ton in Trafalgar Square at 2.30 o'clock.
Similar demonstrations occurred at
Sheffield and Manchester, but were
said to be orderly. At Sheffield a gath
ering of 10000 demanded increased
doles. At Manchester the jobless sang
the Red Flag" and delegation wait
ed on the lord mayor.
The police measures -prevented the
unemployed from actually holding a
meeting, but their manoeuvers on such
4 large scale caused no little excite
ment.
There is a rule against meetings in
Trafalgar Square except on Saturday
and Sunday, but the unemployed have
maintained that professions and meet
ings on these days have no moral eff
feet, as the streets are empty and the
shops closed.
About 10000 jobless formed at the
Thames embankment, but the heavy
police force prevented them from get
ting into Downing street or Trafalgar
square and eventually most of them
marched to Hyde Park, shepherded by
the police all the way until they dis
persed quietly.
A fair proportion of the marchcrs
were dressed respectfully and appar-
emily were not suffering, but the ma
jority bore signs of want and destitu-
ton and were pale of faces.
Undoubtedly the unemployment
problem is causing kecnest apprehen-
sion here, especially as there is no
sign that the government, despite con-
ferences and consultations. has any
plan to cope with it or to offer parlia-
ment when it meets Tuesday.
All trade portents and predictions by
industrial leaders point to unemploy
mcnt growing worse owing to the
steady decline of business and pessi-
mism prevails everywhere.

PlTlLESS PUBLICITY
Here is the Best Means of Curing
Tax Slackers.

Tax Slackers.
The tax problem will not down.
The people are determined to reform
our tax laws and the indications are
that it will be burning" issue in
the next primary. Various remedies
are being suggested. Some Of them
are good while others are bad. The
Yorkville Enquirer, which has a way
Of going right to the bottom of things
suggests rublicity-and plenty of it
as the surest and quickest way of
bringing about tax reform. The En-
quirer says:
There has been more or less private
talk among members of the general
assembly as to the effect of publicity
in securing n fair equalization of the
burdens of taxation in accordance with
ability to pay. 1t is a well known fact
that the books of every county audi
Tor in the state show fearful ineQuali-
ties in the matter of bearing tax bur-
dens. In some cases poor men struS-
much 20 them, while in other cases
men worth ten times as much rs those
referred to pay less taxes. This Sit
uatiOn comes about largely through
the states miserable system Of assess
ing valuation. Each taxpayer is sup
posed to fix his own assessments: but
the law as to the matter * so mixed
as 10 mcar nothing in that it tells the
taxpayer to return his property ac-
cOrGiHg TO actual value, and then goes
on TO give him To understand that he
is expected to pay, only in proportion
10 what other people in Ike Circum-
stances with him pay. Some taXpay-
crS give in their assessments as nearly
rs possible on Il basis Of actual value
and others. taking the other suggest
ion make returns as small % they can
get ly with. The inequality of as
scssed valuation is due partly 10 ig-
noranCc and partly ~ design. Some
of the legislators have an idea that
if they should pass n law requiring
all assessments TO be published in 4
newspaper, the result would be to Sc

Uses the Brains and Ability Neces-

Cores spondcncc The Yorkyille Enquirer
Washington, oct. t5.-Thc little band
of Democrats in the house now shows
as tenacious front as the Light Brigade
at la 'aklava. But it has not always
been 50 at this scss, on of congress.
There has been more than one occasion
when the leadership of the Democrats
has been n matter Of adroit COM
promise. The difference between the
two factions led by Finis Garrett OF
Tennessee and Jack Garner of Texas,
on the question of retaining the excess
profit tax in voting to recommit the
Fordney revenue bill was so radical
that the house Democrats caucused
for four days in the middle of August
before they reached an agreement.
Claude Kitchin had written from his
sick bed in North Carolina to his
fellow Democrats that the leaders
counsel he followed but the Garner
Crisp faction contcnded that this tax
must be thrown overheard before they
would vote to recommit the bill.
For time it looked as if this serious
factional difference on q fundamental
principle of legislation would destroy
all real team work in the minority
party IL the house. Bat in the caucus
sat one man. who was able to gauge
the true situation and strike balance
between thr factions. This was
william Francis Stevenson Of the Fifth
South Carolina district. Mr.. Stevenson
is still a comparatively new man in the
house now serving out his third term
but he is one Of the ahlest lawyers in
IL" entire body. To begin with he was
one Of the best trained students in
mathematics and the technique of
lqnguaCe ever turned Out. from David
son College, y. c. Besides he had sat
in the South Carolina legislature and
in the councils Of his party for many
years where he became past master
at framing legislation and writing
caucus resolutions! Mr.. Stevenson Is
used to differences among Democrats.
