EDGE SAYS COX
is IRRESPONSIBLE

Chicago. Sept. 11.-Scnator Edge, a
member of the Senate committee in
vestigating campaign expenses. issued
the following statement regarding the
"slush fund" charges made by Cover
nor Cox:
IL am convinced that the committee
is simply becoming the vehicle for all
types of insincerc political charges and
rumors for partisan effect. In the light
Of the evidence, Governor Cox has been
given even more consideration than his
irresponsible charges warrant
''It makes no difference what wit :
neSses testify under oath, If such testi =
mony displeascs Mr.. Cox he at once
proceeds TO vilify them and apparently
no one tells the truth but himself. The
situation is unparalleled in American
politics. Under such circumstances
what can possibly be gained by follow
ing his so-called leads further? Gov
ernor Cox owes it to the American peo =
pie to withdraw his cxtravagant state
ments or stand convicted of descending
to the most despicabIe type of profes .
sional politics imaginable"

FOR CENTRAL HIGH

of Democracy
AGAINST "HON0R SYSTEM"

Student democracy will be inaugu
rated at Central High School.
DR.. John l.. Haney. president of the
school. appointed to succeed DIR. Robert
Ellis Thompson, is planning the de-
psrture from the former method Of gov
eminent at the school.
The ''honor system" will not he used.
ss Doctor Haney believes it has been
proved failure.
"The first move" said Doctor
Haney yesterday. will be to elect n
student council composed of representa-
tives from each section and class. This
lnrge council will then elect smaller
body that will be the real center for
carrying out such ideas as the students
may wish. They will pass upon any
desired change, then in turn it will be
adopted by the full council and finally
come to the faculty for consideration
and adoption il approved.
"Although there will be some In
novation made in the school manage
ment, nothing unusual will be even
suggested or considered until after the
decision of the courts as to the return
of Doctor Thompson. for we would not
want to do anything that might in
any way cause him Inconvenience in
the event of reinstatement.
my first step on taking the reins
of control was to abolish the faculty
discipline committee. They used to
meet once week and hear cases re-
quiring discipline. 1t is far better for
the child that punishment, il needed,
should he administered at once, and
then the matter forgotten"

Senator Kenyon. who gave out n telc-
gram received from Frank A. Munscy.
eastern publisher. demanding that the

Senator Kenyon's reply was to the
effect that Edmond II. Moore had ap

sufficient.
Senator Kenyon said the telegram
from Mr.. Munscy was typical of hun

that the public announcement of the
Munsey message was made in the hope
that it might serve as an answer to

STRIKE BREAKUP
SEEN NEXT WEEK
More Miners at Work Today
Than at Any Time Since
Vacation" Started
VOTE TO RETURN MONDAY

Special Dispatch TO Everiro Public Ledger
Wilkes Barre, Pa, Sept. 11.-In the
seventy five operating collierics in Dis
trict I Of the anthracite region there
we're more men at work today than any
time since the strike started. Though
disappointed, the miners are game and
good sports and accepted the President s
decision with the same spirit OF loyalty
that characterized their efforts during
the world war. In the sections where
the collieries have been "closed tight
the first indication of break came last
night. after the nature of the Presi-
dents decision was Announced.
The Pennsylvania collieries' strike Is
the keynote Of the situation, since the
insurgents are strongest there and it
was in the Pennsylvania Co S mines
that the labor trouble started. Last
night about 300 men, mostly English E
speaking. comprising committees from
every colliery. met in the Y. NJ. c. A.
building, Pittston. and decided to re-
turn to work on Monday. The meeting
was called by young men who were
present ut an open air meeting Wedncs-
day. when "every speaker who men :
toned the word settle was howled
down." before he had a chance to pro-
pose some form of settlement.
Announcing the purpose of their
meeting they said, "We want to work
il we can do so under fair conditions
and return honorably. The trikc has
been on for nine weeks. Captain May,
president of the Pennsylvania Coal Co.,
today refused to eliminate the CON
tractor system The insurgents also
refused TO yield. What are we going to
do about it? Little has been gained so
far. Perhaps, il we listen to sane and
sensible men in sane and sensible
manner. we will get results"
Some of the speakers mentioned the
award of the commission, which refers
the contractor system. the sore spot in
cite conciliation board.
While insurgent miners claim the
matter should be settled by strike. the
men who met last night declared when
the miners praised the conciliatiOn
board they praised John Mitchell as n
hero. Why not trust our case to a
board which John Mitchell obtained for
u.s.
The action Of the Pennsylvania
miners indicates general break up
carly next week, throughout the region.
District officials Of No. are going to
Hazleton on Monday to attend policy
meeting and will urge the. other district
officers to go the limit to carry out their
pledge to the government and operators
"The United Mine Workers must not
be brought into dsrepute, is their
motto.

It was good idea. though 1t did not

Of interesting a great many outsiders in
party work.
The Democrats have done nothing al
all corresponding to what the Rcpubli
ems have done. They present the other
extreme. theoretically their state or.
ganizations are efficient and at work all
the time. while the national organiza.
tion is galvanized into activity for pa.
tional campaigns. As already said they
have no effective national machinery
for collecting funds. though they will
probably initiate the Republican sys-
tenn four years from now.
Emphasis On state Work
The Democratic tendency away from
Capitalization is unusually strong this
year. The emphasis is all on the state
organizations.
This may be Governor Cox's idea. lie
often expressed his belief in the greater
importance of the state organization.
Literature is being sent out this year
BY the Democratic state committees In.
stead of by the national committee. II
is being prepared by the national body,
but distributed locally. This is change
from the past practices of the Demo-
cratic party. Money for the Democratic
campaign is us usual being largely col
lected by Democratic state and local or.
ganizations, instead of as among the
Republicans by single national or
ganization. This has its disadvantages,
since the organization which collects
money tends to hang on 70 it and funds
are not always available for distrlbu-
ton where 1t is most needed.
In actual campaigning neither party
has gone very far. Governor Cox has
made his speeches, and Senator Hard.
ing has talked from his front porch. The
Republicans sent out the first two cam
paign speakers. Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt and Raymond Robins, n few
days ago. Literature. although printed
some time ago, is just beginning to be
distributed.
