act was surrender to force"
Labor Is not commodity" the
President declared, leaning forward
over the porch railing at Shadow Lawn
and pounding it for emphasis. "it is
form of cooperation. Ii I can make
a man believe in me, know that I am
just, l can get ten times as much out
of him than If he were an antagonist.
If he Is mere tool of his employer
he is only as serviceable as tool. HUI
man relationships are governed by the
heart, and If the heart is not in 1t,
nothing is in it,"
The nation is never going to say to
an individual, the President declared,
that he must work, whether he was
willing or not but it did have the
right to say to an organization of per-
sons, You must not interrupt the
national life without consulting u.s."
In many quarters this was taken as
a prediction by the President of the
adoption of the Canadian scheme of
compulsory investigation.
Small Crowd Hears Him
Between 1900 and 1000 persons
gathered at Shadow Lawn to hear the
Presidents words. His speech was
mainly extemporaneous and was de-
livered to the Wilson League of Busi-
nessmen, who made up only a small
fraction of the audience. The rest
consisted for the most part of summer
residents, among whom women pre-
dominated.

of views is the panoramic outlook
from the dome of the Capitol. This
shows the river along the entire front
of the city, the islands, the buildings
in the foreground and general im-

the Cumberland hills beyond.
Among the most interesting of the
pictures are those of the Chamber of
Commerce outing at Inglenook, show
ing the many interesting stunts of a
famous day; the Kipona events on
the river, which will give other cities
a fine impression of Harrisburg at
play, and the exciting run of the local
fire department

from an automobile and other city
officials are shown in action. Presi-
dent Bowman, of the Chamber of
Commerce, beams upon a community
which appreciates his civic activities;

on their faces as a result of the sue
cess of. that big undertaking; crowds
are leaving many of the city Churches,
most of the important public and
private buildings are exhibited, in
cluding several stores; there is fine
view of Bellevue Park as a residen-

City's Energies Shown
Altogether 1T IS marvellous dis

manifested in the Greater Harrisburg,
not forgetting the formal entrance at
the Market street bridge.
We cannot imagine anything more
attractive than this moving picture of
a progressive city. Every citizen
should see it and there is no doubt
the Victoria theater will be packed

Hughes Campaign in Middle
West Is Triumphal March;
Three States Lined Up

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 25. Re-
publican political observers who have
followed in the wake of Charles e.
Hughes during the past record-mak-
ing week of campaigning exultantly
predicted that he has turned the tide
of votes towards Republican shores in
Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana and
has insured his election in November
Mr.. Hughes himself, though chary of
utterance, is plainly more than de-
lighted and little astonished at the
boisterous welcomes he has received
in the thirty-four cities and towns in
which he has spoken since last Tues
day.
1t was gruelling series of busy
days through which the Republican
nominee passed, and their effects were
plainly evident in his weary manner
and husky voice, as he rested at the
home of Charles w. Fairbanks, his
running mate on the National ticket
But he is inspired by the increased
interest which is greeting the second
phase of his campaign and Is prepar-
ed to continue his assault on the
Democratic administration with un-
abated vigor. although the assaults
will not be delivered in such pro-
fusion as they were last week.
Organization and Personality
Two factors contributed to making
Mr.. Hughes campaign in the Middle
West success, which exceeded even
the hopes of himself or of the State
and National Republican aids who
arranged 1t. They were organization
and Mr.. Hughes himself. In distinct
contradiction to the poorly arranged
facilities against which he had to cope
In the West, Mr.. Hughes found good
management in bringing out the
crowds, bringing out the enthusiasm
and providing all the accessories
y, iaI, lie
affair of excitement and color.
Mr.. Hughes met these demonstra-
tions with vigorous addresses which
indicated clearly a wider grasp of the
issues he is discussing and arrange
ment of thoughts and subjects which
improved steadily day after day.
Despite his fatigue, only the in
spiration of the throngs and his own
strong will gave him the strength to
complete the program which was ar
ranged for him in Indiana. And this
victory over himself, A. T. Hert, the
western manager of the Republican
National Commission, and VIII H
Hays, chairman of the Indiana State
Republican Committee, declared ir
public statements, has swung the
balance toward victory in this STATE
of political variance.
Triumphal Procession
Mr.. Hayes styles the Republican
nominees progress through the Stat,
as a "triumphal procession" and il
certain that he has solidified waver
ing sentiment moving in towards Re
publicanism.
Indiana voters, regardless of tn,
party, trust him. he said. Indian;
will register a Republican majorit,
in November that will forever set a
rest the assertions that we are
doubtful State. Indiana Is fo

FREIGHT CARS SCARCE

Scarcity of freight cars is once more
becoming a serious problem and the
Interstate Commerce Commission has
been asked to do what it can to relieve
the situation. In Western Pennsylva-
MIA the shortage in coal cars runs from
rs to 30 per cent. In the Middle West
there is shortage of cars to move
grain and Eastern roads have been
asked to return the grain cars of Iiii-
nois roads. All consignees are asked
to unload cars promptly.
Safety First Big Success
How the safety first" movement,
which is being waged so earnestly by
the railroads of the country is bearing
fruit is shown in safety bulletin, com.

year 1915, SO employees were killed on

HUGHES AC Hts CuOICE,


Philadelphia. Pa, Sept. 25. = Ed
win Q. Lewis, former Assistant City
Solicitor and Independent Democrat,
who recently declared he would not
support President Wilson for re-elec-
ton, last night gave his reason for
his remuneration of the Democratic
candidate. The statement was issued
by the Hughes Alliance, and among
other things, says:
Former Governor Hughes appeals
to me as a man who will meet this
country's needs during the coming
four years better than any other man
now in the public eye. His virile
courage as Governor of New York
furnishes evidence, which is far surer
than promise or mere hope, that he
has the qualities which national policy
will inevitably demand of the next
President. I will support him and his
party. In local politics I will con-
tinue to participate as an independ-
ent.
IT am not for former Governor
Hughes because of what President
Wilson has done or has failed to do
in the past. This seems a wrong
method of determining political ac-
ton. We are concerned more with
the future than with the past. Tt is
the years between 1917 and 1921 that
are now to be principally considered.
and the prospect of former Governor
Hughes being President during this
critical period appeals to me forcibly"

BIDS TONIGHT
Council Will Consider Final
Step in Elimination of Old
Canal Nuisance

At special meeting of Steelton's
borough council this evening the final
steps in the plan to eliminate the old
Pennsylvania canal nuisance will be
taken when bids will be opened for
construction of a comprehensive sys-
tenn of storm sewers to drain the en-
tire West Side and Upper End of the
borough.
Council at it's last regular meeting
passed finally the ordinance granting
the Pennsylvania Railroad company
the right of way to build its proposed
new freight spur of five tracks into
the plant of the Bethlehem Steel COM
pany along the bank of this old
stream.
This right was granted with the
stipulation that the railroad and the
Bethlehem Steel company shall each
pay one-third the cost of the proposed
sewer system, provided the project
does not cost more than $4,000.
AT the meeting this evening it will
develop whether or not the project
may be carried through at this figure.
The borough engineer has made an
estimate and is of the opinion that
the work can be done under this
amount.
Should the contract be let this
evening the contractor will be in
structed to make an early start on the

the drains may be completed this

Although no other business was
scheduled for council this morning it

Returning yesterday from a tour

ter, secretary of the Hughes Alliance
IN pennsylvania, took issue with A.

passage of the Adamson bill will win

In my three days travel through
Schuylkil. Northum berland and
Berks Counties, particularly in the
first two counties, said Mr.. Porter, II
had an opportunity to talk with labor
leaders and learn their real attitude
In regard to the Adamson bill. If Mr..
Palmer and his colleagues are count
ing on Democratic votes in Penn.yl-
Vania from the labor element simply
on account of the Adamson bill, then
their hopes are built upon tickle sands.
Everywhere. in conversation with
mine workers, labor leaders and
union officials, I found them of the
opinion that President Wilson had
surrendered to the demands of a few
In the hope of winning the votes of
the navy.
These labor men seemed to take
the attitude that their cause had been
harmed rather than helped by the ac-
tfon of the President"
