Chairman Mccormick arrived here
late today with a portfolio filled with
letters from democratic leaders, and
invitations from political and nonpo-
litical organizations. He urged that
as many as possible be accepted. He
also told the president of his recent
trip to Indianapolis and the middle
west.
With Chairman Mccormick, the
president planned the general trend of
his addresses. In them he will avoid
personalities and confine himself
strictly to pressing public questions.
Among other questions he will discuss
the settlement of the recently threat
ened railroad strike, which Charles E.
Hughes has made an issue.
The president displayed his inten-
ton of taking an active personal in
terest in his campaign. From now on,
administration officials said, the demo-
Gratis will push the campaign as Wig
orously as possible. Plans are already
being made for sending several cab
met members into the middle west and
all doubtful states to recite the record
of the president and the democratic
congress.
The president met Mr.. Mccormick
at the railroad station here within a
short time after Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson
returned from Columbia, s. G. where
they attended the funeral of the pres
ident's sister. Mr.. Mccormick remain
ed at Shadow Lawn overnight. Early
returns from the New York State pri-
maries were telephoned to Shadow
Lawn tonight.
Preparation of the speech the pres
ident will deliver next Monday at Bal
timore before the convention of the
National Grain Dealers Association
has been begun. In it President Will
son will refer particularly to the rural
credits bill passed by congress.
Among the messages received by
Mr., Wilson today was one from Rep
resentative Doremus, chairman of the
democratic congressional committee,
expressing confidence over the political
outlook form a democratic standpoint.
Mr.. Mccormick denied emphatically
tonight reports that democratic lead
ers are alarmed over the political sit
uation. He said that during his mid
die western trip he found strong dem
ocratic sentiment. He predicted that
within few days the democratic cam
paign will be in full swing and that
the republicans will be on the defen-
sive.

THE LESSON OF THE STRIKE.

AAAS DSNCO~N - $3.50 - -
There is a lesson in the proposed
great railroad strike which it would
be well for us as a nation to learn, and
to profit by.
Probably a very small per cent of
the membership of the brotherhoods,
when they voted on the proposition to
strike, had ever given serious thought
to the far reaching effects of their ac-
ton should it come to an actual walk
out. The same can be said of the
citizenship of the country at large.
Strikes have been Of so frequent occur
renee during the past half century,
and the business of the country had
suffered such small checks therefrom
that we had been lulled into a false
sense of security.
In the great crisis, which has been
for a time averted, however, the coun-
try has at last been awakened to the
enormous power of organized labor,
But even now we would not be fully
alive to this great power had it rot
been threatening the very life of the
nation.
Few of the masses of the people haC
ever realized how fully were the rail
roads the arteries through which
coursed the blood of the nation. No
until we were threatened with a stop
page of the life-giving stream did W.
awaken to the dire peril which sucl
action portended. Only within tn,
past few weeks have we begun to ap
preciate the extent of the want, tn,
suffering, the colossal losses that mus
have inevitably resulted had the strik,
materialized.
But now that we are at last awak,
to the real significance of the situation
that confronts US, we should profit by
our knowledge. We should see to i
at once that no similar peril is evel
again permitted to threaten us.
We must recognize the fact that the
railroads are an absolute necessity t.
national life; that it is now mora
and patriotic duty incumbent upon not

No, sir, we don't want the job Of
being president of the United States.
1t isn't half as soft berth as editing
this paper. Germany has a crouch at
us; Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria are
ditto; Mexico is thorn in our already
fostering flesh; Japan is opening her
cavernous mouth to gobble up China
and is thereby menacing our CONNER
cial interests in that country; Central
and South America are suspicious Of
US because we have an army in Mexi-
co; England and her allies are board
ing our ships, rifing our mails, and
stealing our trade secrets for their
own use; the conflict between labor
and capital has brought us almost to
the brink of civil war; votes, power
full financial interests and foreign lob
bies keep congress in a perpetual state
of terror, and the Lord only knows
what it will be next. No, stree. Take
the iob--we're not in the running.

WILSON WILL MAKE
POLITICAL ADDRESSES
-
BUT REITERATES DECLARATION
AGAINST SPEAKING TOUR
Indignation Expressed by Vance Nc
COrmick and Other Leaders Over
Report That President Has
Become Alarmed.

Long Branch, N. j., Sept. 19.-.Presi-
dent Wilson announced tSnight that
he has no intention Of making cam
paign tour, but that he will carry out
plans already tentatively made for
several speeches on public questions
before non-partisan organizations.
This announcement followed a confer
ence between Mr.. Wilson and Vance
Mccormick, chairman of the demo-
cratic national committee.
Both the president and Mr.. McCor-
mick expressed indignation over sto-
ries printed today to the effect that as
a result of uneasiness over the repub-
lican campaign, Mr.. Wilson had
changed his plans and would stump
the country.
Chairman Mccormick discussed with
the president many invitations receiv-
ed from different parts of the country
urging Mr.. Wilson to make speeches,
but afterward it was said officially
that the places and dates had not been
decided upon.
Secretary Tumulty authorized the
following statement
''The president has no intention of
making any campaign tour. He does
not intend to change the program al
ready agreed upon by those in charge
of his campaign to accept invitations
from nonpartisan organizations to dis
cuss political questions"
In addition to the speeches in diff
ferent parts Of the country the presi-
dent plans to make addresses on the
porch of Shadow Lawn to delegations
from various states who will call upon
him. The first of these speeches viii
be made Saturday afternoon to a dele

1t is so well recognized that certain
occupations may involve serious dan
gers to young, growing persons that
most states now have their child labor
laws. Massachusetts, which has been
a leader in this class of legislation, is
now engaged in a systematic effort to
collect information that may be of val
ue in determining the need of changes
in its present laws and regulations
governing the employment Of minors.
At the request of the Massachusetts
Board of Labor and Industries, As
sistant Surgeon NJ. Victor Stafford of
the U. S. Public Health Service was
detailed by the federal government to
cooperate with the state authorities in
a study of the effect of employment in
various occupations on the health and
physical development of children now

permitted by law to work therein. A
report Of this study with respect to
the cotton manufacturing industry of
Massachusetts has just been published
by the Federal Government as Public
Health Bulletin Ne. 7S, entitled en-
iuence of Occupation on Health Dur
ing Adolescence" The physical c6ndi-
ton Of over 600 boys between the ages
of IA and IS employed in this industry
in different parts Of the state received
careful study. 1t was brought out that
in Massachusetts boys between these
ages for the most part do not remain
long in the cotton mills. This fact and
the strict regulations of the. state
governing the employment Of minors
may not make some of the conelu-
eions reached in this local investtga-
ton equal atrue elsewhere sps
THE faeta d "a,
be mentioned A considerable
portion Of the younger boys and also
of those over sixteen, were under sized
and physically undeveloped for their
ages while those between fifteen and
sixteen averaged larger than other
classes of boys of their ageswith which
comparisons were made. This fact is
explained by the accumulation in the
mills of strong boys waiting to reach
the age of sixteen to go into perma-
nent "full time" occupations. The
presence Of noteworthy proportion
of understood boys is not ascribed to
theeffect of the occupation but to the
fact that the cotton mill offers one of
the few chances Of employment to the
understood boys. Evidence of inju-
rious effect of their work or working
conditions, even of the temperature
and humidity of the mills, on normal
boys was seldom found, although fur
Their investigation of possible effects
of atmospheric conditions is recon-
mended. Probably as a result of the
state regulations relative to the issu-
ance of employment certificates COM
paratively few cases of dangerous dis
eases were discovered. There was,
however, wide variety of defective
conditions disclosed by the investiga-
= ton, many of them of such character
I as to impair seriously the future
health and economic usefulness of the
: individuals concerned if not remedied.

their mercy, then that small per cent
ceases to be free in the full sense of
the word. They are bound to a higher
duty than self interest. They are in

i We must realize that the railroad
man to quit his post (unless compe-
tent substitute is at hand to assume
his duties) is just as reprehensible
as violation of train orders and
fraught with as great peril to the pub
lie safety. The railroader must be
brought to see that he owes sacred
duty to his country, not even second to
that of the soldier. The soldier guards
our homes and our honor; the railroad
err guards our very life. He should not
destroy that which he guards.
A united nation should insist that
these men who thus bear the burdens
of our comfort, prosperity and safety
shall be fairly dealt with. The thous.

pose their lives to the perils of the
rails that we may prosper and live il

COMMITTEE APPROVES
MINERAL LANDS BILL
Favorable Report on Leasing Meas.
ure Is Ordered by the
House Body.

The administration bill for leasing
of public mineral lands has been or.
dered favorably reported to the House
by the public lands committee. The
committee, however. agreed to hear
ing of California oil interests about
January 10. with view to determining
whether the committee shall offer
amendments on the floor for the relief
of the companies and individuals who
developed oil on the San Joaquin val
ley lands prior to the decision of the
Supreme Court, which upheld the
Presidents withdrawal of the lands
on which they located.
The provisions affecting those mil
lions of dollars worth of oil lands
remain in the reported bill substan-
TALLY as in the measure passed by the
House in the last Congress. though
they are subject to a fight later on
for greater relief that the oil COM
panies affected received in the leasing
arrangement under the bill as 1t
stands. The bill allows them prefer
ence in getting twenty-year leases of
the lands they now occupy to the eX-
tent of $40 acres each, with right to
successive extensions of ten years
each under condition of royalty to the
government of not less than one
eighth of the oil produced.

exertion. and they undoubtedly stand
among the best men in the south.
Without rejecting in the least on the
work of the other three men, 1t may
well be said that the greater part of
whatever success is attained by the
Brooklanders this winter will be due
to the efforts of Keegan and Cart
wright
1t might be mentioned. too, that there
are other good guards playing on the
ton. Out at Gallaudet there are two
youngsters holding down the positions
who are little less capable than keegan
and Cartwright. They are Kelley and
Rockwell. Kelley is distinctly a guard,
not being a very good shot, but Rock
well is a different player. He is given
the free work and makes good. Rock
well is one of the most capable men in
the south, his general work being eX-
ceptional He had been used to for
wards position until Coach Haas shift
ed him to guard a year ago. Up at
Georgetown there is Harry Kelley, who
is the star of that team. Kelley's work
in the recent games in the north,
fore the holidays, was excellent. He
proved the mainstay of the Blue and
Gray offense and defense in each setto.
George Washington has mighty good
defensive player in Groesbeck, and
Shaver, his running mate, also is cap
able Shaver is a more snowy per-
former than Groesbeck, but the latter
is more valuable to the team. 1t is
doubtful if any of the other guards
,, mentioned have anything much on
Groesbeck as a defensive factor solely.

The main strength of the Catholic
University basket ball team this year
will be in it's two guards. Keegan and
Cartwright. These two men form the
bulk of the defense-in fact. about 90
per cent of it-and their work on the
offense is not to be lightly considered.
by any means. Both men shoot fairly
well from the floor, and Cartwright
does the throwing of goals from the
foul line.
Keegan was rated last year, as the
best guard in the south. In general
play he was superior to those holding
positions on the other university and
college quints. Keegan has lost none
of his effectiveness and he has few, if
any, equals today. Keegan is a heady
player, being able to diagnose and
break up plays much more easily than
the average guard. Often Keegan is SO
quick to figure what the other team is
going to do that he gets in front of
the play and intercepts the pass.
Keegan, who is captain of the team,
makes a splendid leader. For the last
two years he has practically been the
director of the play, Notwithstanding
that other men have been captains.
Cartwright is a natural and efficient
player, and would be an even greater
star were he playing guard on a team
beside a man of less capability than
Keegan. Both men have the physical

Tinker said he would not put these
men on the market Immediately, but
thought he would bid for a player or
two in trade. He wants Heinie Groh

marked he could give the Reds several

Cincinnati next week, possibly We'd
