Birmingham, Eng, Oct. 3.-Viscount
Bryce, of Dechmont, former ambas-

congregational union to-day derided
the spirit of hate against the Germans
and the talk of lasting trade war.
In conclusion he advocated league

''If there is to be a recurrence of

said, I'VE may we'll despair of the fu-

Lord Bryce recalled that Premier
Asquith, Lord Edward Grey and Mr..

Because NJ. S. Hershey, the Choco-

be used in his big chocolate factory

Passenger Agents Wildly
Cheer Name of Hughes

Philadelphia, Oct. 8. - AT the men,
ton of the name of Charles Evans
Hughes, Republican candidate for
President, 600 railroad officials rose
from their seats and cheered for sew
eral seconds yesterday during the
opening session of the forty-fourth an
nual convention of the American As
sociation of Travelling Passenger
Agents at the Bellevue -Stratford.
The bathurst followed a quotation
by e. f. Burnett, of Hughes opinion
on the eight-hour law. The mere ut
terance of the Republican candidates
name, it is said, was sufficient to throw
the tranquil delegates into tumultu-
Gus applause. The cheering resounded
through the halls of the hotel for near
ly half a minute. Burnett, who is a
representative of the Western Passen-

an Outrage passed by Congress and

QUINN ANSWERS FLEMING
In The Day Book of July 10 the Rev.
w. S. Fleming, pastor Lincoln St.
M. E. church, is lead to ask few
questions and make a few comments
thereon" which very much interest
me because of the calling of the gen
tleman, the nature Of questions and
the character of his conclusion. He
says: Granting that the school
board is trying to down the Teach
ers' Federation, we are in duty
bound to seek an answer to the qUes-
tion-Why?" 1 think the answer to
this question has been written so
often in the official conduct of the
Teachers Federation that every per-
son interested in the public life of
this city and state should have seen
it before this. It has been written
into the statute books of Illinois
when that little band Of aggressive
women forced the corporations of
the state to pay into the treasures
of the taxing bodies above 100000
a year for the past fourteen or fifteen
years. I believe the aggregate
amounts to more than 100000. It
has been written in their advocacy
of the initiative, referendum and re-
call. 1t has been written in their.
work for public ownership of public
utilities. It has been written in their
exposure Of school land frauds"
and, in this connection, let me. say
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-08-11

that an .ex-attorney for the school
board has just informed me that in
one case alone during his official as
sociation with the board the 10 per
cent rake-off to amounted to $4,000.
Let it sink into your memory-$74,-
900. It has been written in their OPP
position to the plundering Of the
parents of school children by the
book trust. It has been written in
their exposure of the invisible gov
eminent" that sent Mr.. Cooley to
Europe on a SALARY of $4,000 a
year to study the educational sys-
TENS of the old world and write
report that would influence legisla-
ton for similar system of educa-
ton here"-a system that would
build pan aTistocracy Of education
by making the children Of high
schools and colleges masters and
build up an aristocracy of education
their slaVes-their factory and me-
chanical slaves - and this in the
name Of efficiency" And yet Mr..
Flemlng says LnaC ne READ Inc lay
Book carefully and talked long with
Miss Haley and other members of
the federation and finds that they
offer words, words only" Well, 1 Of
fer him the above, and every state
ment made is from the records, but
Mr.. Fleming will not see-and there
are none so blind as those who will
not see. So blind and deaf has he
been that he has been able to see
only "the tax fight" for the past Is
years. Again he asks: els the feder-
alton trying to dominate the school,
situation in the interest of the teach
ers?" My answer is: Sir-See the
record. But the teachers have COM
mitted many offenses in his eyes and
he brings them out in the form of
questions. They organized the fed
Grafton in 1897 for the purpose of
