hear the whirl of the electric car, talk

y-ray, view the snowy fields, sunny
plains and canals Of Mars through a
telescope, take flight from ocean to
ocean in an air ship, cross the ocean
in a submarine, get run over by an
automobile going ninety miles an hour,
see kings fleeing from their thrones
but what's the use of going back
hundred years? A system of Short
hand and Bookkeeping twenty years
old is of but little use today.

goose quill pen and pokeberry ink, so

business methods has taken its place

creases demanded by the brother
hoods and American Federation OF
Labor for two million railway WORK
ers of the country are not to be grant
ed by the Railroad Administration.
The demands of the organizations,
which have been pending for year,
are to be denied by Director General
Hines, who has promised representa-.
tives of workers to give them maj
answer to the plea soon.
Denial of the increases, II was
said, will be based upon the ground
of economic impossibility; that to
increase railroad wages further would
necessitate such large increase in
railroad rates that the cost OF living
would Immediately take another leap
and the vicious cyls OF mounting
wages and costs would be kept whlrl'
ing along.
II also developed that Director
General Hines Is considering legal
steps against threatened railroad
strikes. It is possible that an In;
junction may be applied for before
the United Brotherhood of Way I'm
ployes and shop laborers puts its
strike into effect.
An Injunction was obtained in the
coal strike on the ground that the
Lever Act was being violated. 1t was

Lever Act would again be invoked Il
the Railroad administration was forc
ed to apply for the injunction IN lnt

Quarles, assistant to Mr.. Blair: C. w.
Lee, Director Eastern Division;
Henry E. owen, Director Central Di-
vision; Charles A, McKeand, Director
Western Division; L. c. Fitzgerald,
office manager"
Quoting from a letter of Mr.. Blair
in the publication, Gov. Cox read:
Tor the present our efforts will be
directed primarily toward producing
the quotas OF the larger cities Of
forty-one States. This does not mean
that present State and county organ
izations will be disturbed or retarded
In their activities. 1t is simply an
effort to produce money most quickly
and in comparatively large amounts.
We need the money now"
The total which Mr.. Blair an
nOunced could be raised quickly, the
Governor said. was $S.145,OOO, which
would mean a per capita of thirty
one cents for every man. woman and
child in fifty-One cities. To show
that Mr. Harding is familiar with the
details Of the money raising the Gov
ernor quoted from his message in the
bulletin:
Through the fine work of your Or
ganlEatlon, We are nearing that form
OF national patriotism which EXPRESS
es itself In support from every ooun-
ty, every State" and again: Allow
me to express through the official
bulletin of the Treasurer's office MY
gratitude for enthusiasm shown by
all associated with your office in rais-
ing our national campaign fund for
1920"
The speaker then quoted from the
OFFICIAL bulletin showing that large
amounts had been collected from
cities and States no, .ng.l'Cd in the
list or cities and States flu" a'l,rh
the SS.0OO,00O Is being gathered "a

HARDING DEFENDS
CUMMINS-ESCH BILL
Calls 1t Great Forward Step in
Address to Railway
Employees.

GALLON, o., Aug. 27-Unqualfied
appreciation of the Esch Rail
way ReorganlationS Act was voiced by
Senator Harding to-day in a speech
here to n group Of railway employees.
Saying he was aware that some Of the
employees were dissatisfied with the
measure. the Republican nominee
prophesied that in the near future the
workers would realize that 1t was tine
greatest forward step In all the history
OF railway legislation"
Senator Harding did not mention di-
rectly the anti-strike provision that was
In the railway bill as 1t passed the SEN
ate, hut he asserted that he stood for
a policy that would make continuity
OF service u government guaranteed" and
said he also wanted to see railwaymen
given the best OF treatment by the Gov
ernment and by the American people.

speeches carefully. They 90 by inn
preston and the intonation of voice
and emphasis OF speakers. Editorial
writer's win probably scrutinize the
evidence and the Senatorial Investi-
eating Committee win also examine It
carefully and the Republicans named
in the documents stlll have an oppor-
tunity 20 explain their side OF the case.
13ut this much Gov. Cox did do-he
created a suspicion in the minds OF
his audience that II SS,OoO,Oo0 was
raised in twenty-seven States from
q, 5,OOO,OOO people the final totals could
easily more than double, or, as he
phrased 1t, 'not,less than $4,000, ,000."
He also spoke 80 often Of quotas
bolng ovorsubscribed in cities not
mentioned in the list covering the
first $S.OO0,0O0 as to create the inn
preston that a second list of quotas
was made up for additional sums. II
Gov. Cox has that second list he gave
no Bigr' of II in his speech here. Cir
cumstantlnlly, he built up the second
part of his case on inference and de-
duction and asks that the burden of
dlsprovlng the existence of n larger
fund than at least eight million dol
lars he placed upon his opponents.
TALK OF OTHER EVIDENCE TO
BE PRopucED.
There is talk that Gov. Cox has
other documents and that he wants
to draw the fire Of his opponents by
publishing It in separate speeches,
but newspapermen here have the inn
preston that II the Governor had
ANY more substantial proof than he
presented to show the plans for tho
remaining $I0OOOOO he would have
produced II in pittsburgh.
1t Is admitted that he established
his case for the first SS,O0O,000, but
that the remainder rests upon infer
ences drawn from various references
id the Official Bulletin to cities and
States not mentioned in the original
list of quotas.
This much can he sald--the audi
ence in Pittsburgh recognized the dis
orepancy between the statement at
trlbuted TO VIII Hays that he had
estimated the Republican campaign
fund at 100000 and the admission
OF Treasurer Upham that at least
100000 would cover the expense fol
national and state and local election
purposes
Unquestlonably the quotas given By
Gov. Cox will be admitted as hav.
ing been an estimate for State and
county work as well as the Presi.
dental ticket in various cities, bu
before the Senatorial Investigating
Committee next week the Republi.
! cans will have their opportunity e
