vicinity of Westernport and Piedmont
into buying statistical books. Early
in the spring Colson was in Garrett
county where he also sought to sell
these books.

TINE TO DRAW TIGHT REIN ON
INDUSTRIAL RUNAW

President Harding kept the stride
with public opinion when he said be
fore the Joint session Of the House
and the Senate. Surely the threat
ening conditions must impress the
Congress and the country that no
body of men whether limited in num-
bers and responsible for railway man
agement, or powerful in numbers and
the necessary forces in railway oper-
alton, shall be permitted to choose
course which so imperilS public vel
fare. Neither organizations Of EN-
ployers nor working mems union may
escape esponsibility.
II free men cannot toll according
TO their own choosing, our constitu-
are surrendered to mobracy, and
he freedom Of a hundred millions is
.urrende-ed 10 the small minority
which would have no law"
Plain talk and plain truths from the
President Of the United States back
ed by the approval of millions of law
abiding citizens covers the impression
of this address to the branches Of
Congress. l. IS high time for capital
and labor TO follow unswervinglv the
path out pointed by Mr.. Harding, eve
must reassert the doctrine that in
this republic the first obligation and
the first allegiance Of every citizen,
high or low. is TO his government. No
matter what clouds may gather, no
matter what storms may ensue, no
matter what hardships may attend, or
what sacrifice may be necessary, gov
eminent by law must and will be sus-
4 tanned"
The above forcefully closed with a
special admOnitiOn TO transportation
tangles-thus-" Wherefore l am re
solved to use all the power Of the
government 10 maintain transpoTta-
ton and to sustain the right Of men
to work"
To further his intentions the presi-
dent asked Congress to authorize 2
national agency to purchase, sell and
distribute coal, and asked for the Gre
alton Of commission 10 inquire into
every phase Of coal production, sale,
and distribution.
The Railroad Labor Board, with the
backing Of other government agencies
armed legally TO control conspiracy
against interstate commerce and to
insure safety in railway operation, is
deemed, by Mr.. Harding, sufficient to
take care Of the rail situation. The
President declares it his intention to
invoke these laws against all often
ders alike.
Congress was in utmost sympathy
with the President, as evidenced by
the cheers and applause that greeted
his address.
The thing to do now is to get busy
and follow up unrelentingly the pro-
gram outlined. Public sympathy is
back Of it and is anxiously awaiting
results. The time for fooling around
is past. The mal-contents can be
brought to time and they should be
brought TO time promptly. The public
has no longer any concern with the
attitude Of organized labor or Of oper-
ators and directors the public has, for
the time, given them up as being un-
able to deal adequately with this
Frankenstein Of their own invention,
the public is, however, intensely con
cerned with the government attitude,
which should increase in forcefulness.
When the hand Of the government
is laid upon the reins it is a hand
that should be sufficiently heavy to in
ure the control Of any runaway it
: seeks to stop.

OPPORTUNITY FOR BOYS

Twenty-Five dollars for three weeks
is what it costs a boy to attend Camp
Roosevelt, conducted under the au.
spices of the Chicago board of edu'
cation, near LaPorte, Indiana, and
open to boys during the summer from
all parts of the country. Enrolment
early in May indicate the national
reputation this camp has built up,
and applications and inquiries are
pouring into the headquarters from
ever state in the union. The reason
is plain. 1t is open to any American
boy of good character from the age
of twelve years up. While scores OF
private vacation camps exist with the
exclusive memberships and tuition
running into the hundreds Of dollars,
Camp Roosevelt continues to oper-

votes of their constituents rather
than toward the country's welfare.

PLAIN TALK IN THE SENATE

Senator Williams, of Mississippi,
has long been known as an intelli-
gent and scholarly as well as a free
spoken observer. and perhaps he is
trihe freer than ever now that he
is not a candidate for reelection and
his terms ends next March. At any
rate he spoke pretty plainly OF all
concerned when the question of the
soldiers bonus came up the other
day, "Just as sure as fate" he said,
"if a cash bonus bill comes before
these two houses of the national leg

"HARRY" DAueHERTY

In his distributions of high ap-
pointments Mr.. Harding was .gener-
GUS to friends and neighbors in his
own state, but, as Is usual In such
cases, other neighbors failed to wax
enthusiastic over some of the selec-
tions. For example, the Ohio State
Journal, whose merry gibes at the
expense of the administration have
made it a sort of enfant terrible
among the Republican papers of its
state, treats with shocking levity
Attorney General Daugherty's prom
Use of tardy exposure of war con-
tract frauds and scandals involving
the Wilson administration and SCOT
fngly remarks: 1--WE will give $4,000
in gold for every grating war con-
tzasew put in jail by Harry Daugh-
Wsy, WIN an extra prize of a genu-
ine Packard single-six in every case
where said grating war contractor
so placed in jail is a Republican"
Possibly the free-spoken State
Journal is the more ready to treat
that distinguished son of Ohio, "Har-
ry" Daugherty, with such disrespect
because of the recent charge that he
receieved a fee of $25,000 from G. w.
Morse for Inducing President Taft
to pardon the "sick" embezzler and
free him from the federal penitenti-
airy in Atlanta. The charge has been
denied, but it seems to be amply
by letters read in the SEN
ate said to have been given out by
Morse himself. The comment indi-
Gates the opinion that $4,000 is too
large a sum for legal services with
out influence"
The lack of enthusiasm in Ohio
over the presidents amiable ap-
pointment of Mr.. Daugherty seems
to be pretty widespread in the coun-
try as a whole, the attorney gener-
els previous record hardly being
such as to commend him for so ex-
allied a position.

ate on the pre-war basis of little over
a dollar a day per cadet. The bal
ance necessary for the maintenance
of this large institution is supplied
by public-spirited Chicago citizens,
who yearly contribute the needed
funds.
The camp is divided into three sec
tions to meet the different needs of
the boys. The summer school divis-
ions includes seventh and eighth
grade subjects and all high school
subjects. Credits earned in the camp
school are honored on the same ba-
sis as are those received in other Chi
cago summer schools, of which the
camp school is an auxiliary. The r.
o. T. c. or military division affords
the boy outdoor life and health ac
tivities in abundance; while the jun
ior camp places the younger boy
among suitable companions of his
own age.

BRIEF COM MENT


The Chicago Tribune (Republican)
says that "our action in Haiti was
one of the creditable chapters in the
history Of Mr.. Wilson's foreign pol
ICY" The question, however, is
whether the emergency which was
properly met by the Wilson admins
tration in 1915 still eists.
Pittsburg shoe dealers report that
women's ankles are larger than they
used to be. And yet living in the
limelight is not supposed to be
physically wholesome.
The hiladelphia Record wants to
to know whether "the recent boost
in the price of gasoline has anything
to do with the anti-saloon leagues
need for more campaign funds" The
precise nature of the connection--if
any--is best known to the elder Mr..
John d.
The Bolshevid will hate this land
of capitalists more than ever now
that they have failed to get loan
and the Harding administration
stands by the Wilson administration
position in regard to recognition.
Supreme Court Justice McKenna
is quoted as saying, ineffect, that the
United States is trying to run the
universe and is breaking solemn
treaty obligations in order to en-
dorse prohibition. If this is not an
exaggerated statement, we need not
wonder at the Europeans who think
Uncle Sans head has been turned
by the doings of his doughboys dur
ing the last months of the world war.
Headlines announce that Pinchot's
victory in the Pennsylvania primaries
is not only "bitter dose to bosses,"
but that the old guard generally is
stunned" and GLOON is thick" at
Washington because waning power
of the regulars" is seen in inchot's
victory following that of Beveridge.
Well see how it turns out, anyway.
AS rule, most of us know what we
are talking about only after the
event.
Men in high places need both
strength and astuteness to be able to
turn from the foolish or designing
hattery of friends. The president,
even though prompted by the news
papers, has acted in his own inter-
ests as well as most creditably in
rejecting the proposition that the
far-famed Leviathan be renamed the
Warren c. Harding.
Miss Sallie Lucas Jeans, director
of the Child Health Organization OF
America, announces that 20 per cent
of this country's school children are
suffering from ma'nutrition, that AZ
per cent of them never drink milk
and that 80 per cent of them never
brush their teeth. 1t is manifestly
impossible for such figures to be ex

Fast Express on Michigan
Central Railroad Is Ditch
ed Near Gary, Ind, Kill
ing Two Persons.

Chicago, Aug. 20 (by the Asso-
ciated Press) The wrecking of
express train Number 80, en- route
from New York to Chicago, with
the loss of two lives near Gary,
Ind, early this morning, resulted
from The deliberate removal of II
spikes from one Of the rails, Michi-
gan Central railroad officials an
nounced tonight. A $1,000 reward
was offered foB the arrest Of those
responsible.

The injured:

The wreck took place about a
mile east of Gary at 2:10 a. m.
while the train, which carried no
passengers, was travelling at a
speed estimated at more than fifty
miles an hour in an effort to make
up lost time. When the heavy
engine struck the rail from which
the spikes had been removed it
plowed along on the ties for some
distance and then turned COM
pletely over. The two enginemen
were dead when removed from the
Wreckage.
The cause of the wreck remain
cd mystery for some hours be-
cause of the confusion at the scene,
and beca Use of the fact that the
rails and ties had been plowed up
and tossed about like matchwood
for hundreds OF feet. Eight cars
loaded with merchandise followed
the engine into the ditch, the others
remaining on the track.
An investigation by Martin
Quinn, special agent of the road,
revealed that while the roadbed
had been ground into an unrecog-
nizable mass from the spot where
the train had left the rails. enough
at the place where the
engine had been thrown from its
course to furnish mute evidence o.
The work of train wreckers. Every
thing ahead of the gap, however
had been destroyed.
