j. r.. Nugent Loses Suit
For $75, 600 War Profits
Politicians Use of Influence to
Get Camp Merritt Contract
Denounced by Court

The use of political Influence to
obtain war contract for another in
the hope of reaping small fortune
for himself did not avail James r.
Nugent, Democratic leader in Newark
Vice Chancellor Backes, in deciding
against Nugent and Joseph A Wright
one. of his aids, called Nugent's act
"subversive of the public welfare. u
Nugent and Wright sued William H.
Fissell contractor who built Camp
Merritt, for half of the $150ooo profits
on the job.
Influence. individual and inspired
personal and political, was the COM
modify and the only consideration of
the contract" the court said in his
opinion. Contracts based upon such
consideration ere universally con-
demned as subversive of the public well
fare, and the reason is obvious"
Wright was characterized by the
court as a lieutenant of Nugent,' who
the Vice-Chancellor added, ''is a power
in politics and recognized as the Demo
cratic boss of New Jersey"

personal attention to the larger task
OF organizing and training for actual
war purposes all the elements OF the

Harbord WouId Be STAFF Chief in War
The role of General Pershing, there
fore, in peace times will be to prepare
the combat forces of the nation for any
military emergency leaving to General
Harbord the task of accompanying this
large training scheme with prepara.
tions for adequately supplying the
forces in the field. Should war come,
General Pershing would instantly take
command of the combat forces of the
army establishment, while General Har-
bord would automatically become chief
of staff.

QUA RICHEST MAN.

Mr.. Rockefeller ut eighty-two play

the man who holds an umbrella over
him when ii rains, Or when Tie sun 5
rays become too fervld, Is u more IN
structive picture TO the young or
middle-aged man who has the courage
to peer into his own future. MI
Rockefeller's umbrella man is sym
boil of comfort in old age, of secur-
ity from poverty, of>the care and con-
sideration and attendance all old peo-
pie need to make smooth the path on
the shady side of life, says the Chi-
cago Journal of Commerce. Every
prudent man must desire an uni
brelIa man" to protect him from III
clement weather when his rigor de-
cIines, and will work and save anu
deny himself to get such protection
as well as to secure 1t for his family.
The truest happiness comes to those
whose industry and talent and thrift
not only provide for their own needs,
but also enable them to be of service
to their children, If census of the
homes of men could be taken. we doubt
not that their dearest ones would be
those which cluster around their love
for their children.
