PLENTY OF COAL ON SIDING

Harry S. Bowen, who is employed at
carpentering, at Shenandoah, Pa
came home last Friday and returned
on Monday. On his way he saw hun
dreds of carloads of coal on the rail
road sidings between Reading and
Pottstown. In one place hundreds of
tons were being dumped in a storage
pile.
It is evident that the railroad Off
cials are failing to move the coal as
mined. They failed to give sufficient
traffic in the winter of 1918, during
the World War and the government
took charge with William G. McAdoo
i. command. Then some of the big
block-head officials were kicked out
and traffic moved. We had coal not
only for the army and Europe, but
for citizens. The action of the rail
road officials to move coal as mined is
making voters favor government
ownership of railroads.
1t will be remembered that George
L. Record, who believes in it, received
nearly 10000 votes in the Republican
caucus last September.

Gloucester County was one of the
first to begin building stone roads.
The first idea was that stone was
durable. Bond the county and let
posterity help pay for it because they
would get part of the benefit.
As the roads We're built farmers
from longer distances hauled produce
to Philadelphia and twice as big loads,
The coming of heavy auto-truck traf-
fc soon mashed the stone roads first
built and they were gone before the
bonds were paid. The added expense
of building roads has grown faster
than the ability to pay the bonds.
A New York firm which deals in
bonds is trying to float on the public
a new issue of Gloucester County
bonds to the amount of $471,000, at
Az per cent. That will make the
bonded debt of Gloucester County
81, 222. 562. The county will pay off
from $4,000 to $4,000 each wear.
VIII the new bonds outlast the new
roads?

The police department asked for

HANDBOOK ARRESTS
DECLARED ILLEGAL
Gordon May Appeal Decision
That None But Chief Could
Serve Warrant.

United States Attorney Gordon to-
day was contemplating appealing a
decision OF Justice = Bailey OF the
District Supreme Court yesterday
holding that the failure of the su-
perintendent OF police to serve per-
sonally a search warrant at a raid
on the apartment of John B. Keleher.
1886 street, last May, invalidated
the seizure by the police Of betting
slips and marked money. keleher
may escape prosecution II the de-
cision is upheld by tho Court Of Ap-
peals.
The courts decision probably Will
prevent the presentation Of the evil
dence in other cases OF alleged hand
book making to the grand jury. II
will. however, not reopen the cases
of alleged handbook makers who
, have been sentenced.
VIII Keep Up War.
In the meantime. the police depart
, ment will continue to wage war on
the making of handbooks in wash
ington, Commissioner Oyster said to-
day.
The Commissioner stated that if the
method by which cases have been
made in the past 10 found TO be in
correct, they will be made in the right
way.
The making of handbooks is a
violation of law, and We propose to
do all that we can to enforce the law,
said the Commissioner.
He conferred at length today with
Maj. Sullivan regarding the handbook
situation.
All search warrants issued out of

it was directed to Maj. Sullivan. who
was not present when the search was
instituted.

Moses Explains Western
RadicaIism as Impossible
to ForestaIl Now.

Senator Moses of New Hampshire
chairman OF the republican senatorial
committee, who has just returned
from Minnesota, today attributed the
election of Magnus Johnson on the
farmer-labor ticket to dissatisfaction.
which he said has taken a number OF
forms.
He said that a spread OF radical

not halt the movement, nor did he see
any economic measures which would
relieve the situation.
Farmers Aroused.
.In part" Senator Moses said the
election of Mangus Johnson could be
traced to dissatisfaction with the
farm legislation enacted by the sixty
seventh Congress. The farmers. how
ever. forget that this legislation was
passed as q result Of the insistence of
their own spokesmen. They therefore,
decided to try Mangus johnson.
"Anothr cause and to my mind a
great cause of the result in Mime

Directed BY Preus.
Senator Moses pointed out that the
campaign in Minnesota had been d.
rected by Gov. Preus and the state
committee, and not from outside. He
said that 1t appeared strange that
while running under the head of the
republican ticket an attempt had been
made apparently to keep away from
republication.
He predicted that the movement {
which selected Magnus Johnson would
spread to Ave other states In that part
Of the country. He pointed out that
in the next election senators are to be

who are to be reelected are repub-

Sorry for Farmers.
TT doesn't take any gifted intelN-
gsnce to see how readily the repub-
lioans may meet disaster if this pres
ent movement spreads" said Senator
Moses. He said that it was impos-
sible to talk with the farmers and not
sympathixe with them. They have to
borrow to pay their taxes. he said.
The enormously high taxes being
paid in this country. Senator Moses
said, are chargable to state and local
governments, rather than to the fed
eral government.
Senator Moses said that he did not
think an extra session called at this
time, as proposed by Senator Brook
hart of Iowa, would help.
