COOLIDGE OPENS
MASS. CAMPAIGN
Nominee Makes Attack on
Present Administration.

BOSTON. Mass. Aug 2S.-"E Everybody
is tired of the present administration, "
particularly its conduct Of our affairs
abroad" Gov. Calvin Coolidge, vice
presidential nominee, declared in open
Ing the republican campaign in Massa-
chusetts with a speech at the Braves
field today.
''The country is not only weary of. but
completely exhausted by and disguised
with. all doctrinaires and gisionaires,' he
said.
1T has had enough of feeting fan
cIes; it wants something permanent.
The country has been tired of taking
the platform of the democrats seriously,
having in mind the promises of the last
two platforms and the totally dissimhar
performances OF that party"
FOREIGN RELATIONS
ARE DISCUSSED.
Coolidge said that the nation is tired
of the present administration becsase 1t
has earned for US the contempt OF the
other peoples Of the EARTH" and con-
tinued:
1T is no answer to say that the rea-
son for this is that the administration
has not had a free hand.
1T had free hand In Mexico.

Because OF our failure to protect and
assist Americans, our country stands dis

Pointing to a conference between Coz
and President Wilson at the whitehoust
on July 10. Coolidge declared the public
might have nc doubt as to the complete
agreement of these men,
I'VE have had victory but the world
is without peace he said.
Europe is not yet pacihed.'
In closing, Coolidge said: Americans
are entitled to the position in the world
won for them by the men who followed
Washington, by the gallant lads whc
fought on Old Ironsides, by the victor
ions forces of Pershing and Sims.
THAT position the republican party
proposes to secure and maintain"

SAYS COAL COST
SHOULD TUMBLE
Action on Wagon Mines
Claimed Beneficial.

Coal prices should be materially re-
duced as result Of the order issued
Friday by the interstate commerce com.
mission relating to the supply Of coal
cars TO wagon mines. according 20 Ellis
Searles. editor Of the united Mine
Workers Journal.
The commission ordered that hereafter
no coal cars shall be delivered TO wagon
mines unless there is sufficient coal in
q chute or dock to load them immedl
ately
''Of the 1900 coal mines In the United
States, approximately 1900 are wagon
mines from which coal Is hauled IN
wagons to the' railroad siding" said Mr.
Searies.
Few Of the wagon mines have chutes
or docks at the railroad tracks
when a car Is placed for loading
II is required 20 stand on The siding
until coal is hauled In wagons to load it
This Of course. causes great delay
in the movement of the car and keeps
II out OF more active service.
Few owners Of wagon mines will be
willing to spend the amount OF money
necessary to build chutes or docks
Practically all Of the coal produced in
wagon mines is free coal that is sold
on the market at the present high prices
for spot coal and this has been a large
factor in keeping spot prices abnormally
high.
High coal prices are not so much
due to the large operators as to the
small operators and wagon mines
Therefore, II large number of wagon
mines close down as a result OF the
order OF the commission, cars heretofore
assigned to them will 20 to the larger
mines, where they can be loaded more
quickly and deliveries made more
promptly.
This will help the large operators 70
fill their contracts at contract prices"

WOMEN, WATCH

Health Inspector.

DR.. Herman G. Morgan. secretary OF
the city health department, today
warned the public against bogus health
inspector who has been rowing the city
gaining admission to homes and making
physical examinations of women and
girls.
The health and police departments have
been trying to catch the imposter for
the past ten days. during which time
at least dozen complaints OF his activi-
ties have been received, DIR. Morgan said.
Citizens are cautioned to be on the
lookout for the pretender and to demand
that anyone who comes to their door
asking to make an inspection for the
health department be required to show
his credentials.
The bogus inspector was described by
women who made complaints about him
as being young man about "a years old
with black curly hair and about five feet
nine inches in height.
He is very corteous and polite in his
language, but not quite so gentlemanly
In his examinations, the women said.
The health department has no inspect
ors who are authorized to make examina-
tions such ms the intruder has pretended
to make, DR.. Morgan said.
