Morgan spoke on various topics today.
including the temperance movement and

1.-THE movement presents a strange polit-
lcal situation. No big man dares cham

that at heart Premier Asquith Is nj favor
of female suffrage and that he feels it is
bound to come. Prejudice is the main
obstacle in the way now. 1 believe that
some obscure member Of parliament will
offer an amendment to the laws and that
Asquith Will not oppose it,"
Mr.. Morgan said that great interest was
being shown in the temperance movement
in England.
ut is a greater problem, 1 believe, in
England than it is here" he said. "A
lot of strong influences oppose the tenn

NO HUGHES TIP BY PARSONS.
New York County Chairman Still
Wants True Test.

NEW YORK, September 5.-Herbert
Parsons, chairman of the New York
county republican committee, today de.
MED that he had sent out orders for all
enrolled republicans to vote for Gov.
Hughes on the test ballots to be taken at
the primaries next Tuesday.
Mr.. Parsons said:
1.-The statement in some of the morn
ing newspapers that 1 have given a tip
that in the tests primary days the
Hughes ballot should be voted is abso-
lutely untrue.
The object of the test is to get a
frank and full expression of opinion from
all enrolled republicans. The only way
we can get it is at the primary ballot
boxes.
Il ask every enrolled republican in the
ten assembly districts to attend the pri-
maries and freely vote the ballot of his
choice. And one who says l have given
out a Hughes tip must be a person who
fears a free expression of opinion and
who wants to prevent it.
OYSTER BAY, n. Y. September s.
Hughes sentiment dominated the repub-
lican meetings held here last night to
elect delegates to the various conventions

show that all the delegates chosen are
in favor of the denomination of the gov
ernor.
In President Roosevelt's district, the
fifth. the men elected were avowedly
Hughes men and were chosen on that ac-
count. In the seventh district, which
takes in the village proper, the following
resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sentiment OF
this meeting. and it's profound conviction
that 1t is to the best interests of our
party that Charles T.. Hughes be its nomi-

price of books purchased by the Chicago
school children has been steady. In al
most every instance when a new book was
adopted or a contract tor an old one re-
newed the price dema nded by the pub
fishers has been found to have increased
anywhere from - 10 30 per cent.
To combat this tendency various eXps-
dents have been used by Superintendent
Cooley and members of the board. one
of these is the judicious use of the open
list" Books placed on this list are not
prescribed for exclusive use in the class
rooms. They are mercy authorized.
Teachers may use them or not as they
see At
When. as has happened frequently.
there appears to be no price competition
between the various publishers on a GER
tain book. or when only one firm submits
a proposition. the book is recommended
for the open list" and placed side by
side with similar books issued by other
publishers. If the publisher is willing tn
that his book-provided. OF course, that IL
is acceptable to the school authorities
Will be placed on the list for exclusive
adoption.
In many cases this plan has resulted in
substantial saving to the school chill
dren. In many more cases. however. the
publishers have declined to lower their
prices and the pupils parents have had
to submit to the increase in cost
According to the publishers the advance
in prices is due to a marked increase in
the price of paper and ink.

crop was not quite so large as on the
other two occasions, probably due to- the
rain, but there was an excellent supply
of street corner loafers and semi-drunks
for the bluecoats to begin on. Nineteen
arrests were made between : o'clock last
night and midnight.

The evenings crusade began with the
arrest of Charles Hall for loafing along
the street and failing to heed the warn
ings of the police guardian on the beat.
Hall was followed by several more, in

was for an alleged assault, several for
