Hardware Convention
Adopts Creed in Cheerful
Refutation of Gloomy
News of Calamity Howlers
ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 28. Calamity
howlers took to tlio tall timber when tlio
American Hardware Manufacturers' As
sociation and the National Hardware As
sociation, In Joint convention at tlio
Marlborough-BIenhctm, today cheerlngly
Adopted a new business creed promul
gated by W. D. Taylor, of Clovetand,
president of the latter association.
"What we need to do now to take the
fullest possible advantage of n condition
without precedent In world affairs Is to
educnto American people to buy goods
boarlng the 'made In America' label.
When wo have done that we need have
no fears for the future.
"South American trade Is Important and
we need It, but not half so much ns wo
need the trade of our own country for
American enterprises. Neil In relative
Importance U the trade of our Canadian
cousins. After that should come the
trade of Central America, for Canada
and Mexico are going to offer us Immense
commercial possibilities.
OpUmlBm pervaded the convention of
seven hardwaro manufacturers and job
bers. They laughed at every hint of
pessimism, opened their metlng by sing
ing "God Bless Our Native Land" with a
swing and stood with bowed heads whllo
the Rev. John R. Dales. of Bethlehem
Presbyterian Church. Philadelphia, pray
ed for spiritual guidance for the Presi
dent and his Cabinet "In these days of
stress and perpleltv," for the peaceful
adjustment of International problems, the
building up of Industrial prosperity, nnd
the sheathing' of the sword abroad to the
end that the fearful waste of life there
may bo speedily ended."
Mr. Taylor, speaking of the effect of the
European conflict upon American trade,
eald. It had. by suspending Imports, erect
ed a wall vastly more effective than the
most radical of protective tariffs.
"It should develop new enterprises and
, new sense of patriotism: for from this
tlmo forward "Made In America' poods
should always receive the " eference," he
said. "If this sentiment pr- vails existing
enterprises will bo running ICO per cent.
Instead of 40 or JO per cent.: giving em
ployment to our own people and the
millions who will come here from abroad
when the war Is ended there
"This distinctly Is not a time for busi
ness pessimism. We must avail ourselves
of every opportunity, at home first, then
In Canada, next in Central America, and
then In South America. Europe cannot
use our raw materials, but will take all
the finished products we can send."
He said the country owed a debt of
gratitude to President Wilson for keeping
the country out of war with Mexico.
Secretary T. James Fernley, Philadel
phia, said the views of business men laid
before President Wilson had been ac
cepted In revising the anti-trust and trade
commission bills, which promise to ba
beneficial to legitimate business.

WILMINGTON. Del., Oct. 2S. Interest
ing reports marked the meeting of the
Synod of Baltimore. The Rev. B. Seat
tle Wylie, the Moderator, who was
elected last night, presided over the
sesjlon. A feature was the presentation
to the Moderator of a gavel made from
the wood of the old Mackennle Presby
terian Church, at Rehoboth, the oldest
Presbyterian church In the country. The
presentation was made by the Rev.
Charles L. Candeo, pastor of Westmin
ter Presbyterian Church, where the
session Is being held.
Much of the morning session was ppent
lu a report on West Nottlng ham Acad
emy In Maryland, the proposition being- to
have the Fynod of Ba'tlraore take over
the Institution. The, Rev. DeWitt Ben
ham, of Baltimore, who made the report,

tho academy. It was decided to appoint
a. committee tq confer with tha trustees
of tho academy, and the maater will be
settled at the next meeting of the Synod.
The Rev. Robert McKenzie reported on
tha work of colleges, and said because
the Presbytery of Baltimore had no col
leges within Its limits the contributions
of rome persons to the work bad not
In the past amounted to as much as
they spent for tea cream and soda water,
but he was pleased to report that there
had been an Improvement and the con
trlbutlona were better.

Corporation Attorney's
Thunderous Denunciation
Is Relieved by Flashes of
Quiet Humor.
The "other side of the story" about the
"Steel Trust" was taken up today by
John G. Johnson. It was a final plea that
tho United States Steel Corporation
should not be dissolved,
racing the four Judges In the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals, In the
Post Ofllco Building, tho dean of Penn
sylvania's corporation lawyers began his
argument in a low tone which ho steadily
raised. Several times tho veteran lawyer
brought his two flats down upon the table
with a loud thud as he brought out In
dramatic fashion:
"Who was harmed?"
"Will you tell me waa that an Injus
tice?" "Ridiculous."
More than ICO personB who were un
able to get seats stood In tho rear of
the courtroom. Among them were many
lawyers, who had come to hear tho do
fenso plea. On ono sldo of the court
toom sat a group of law students of
the University of Pennsylvania.
Richard V. Ltndabury, of Newark, N.
J.; C. Severance, of St. Paul, Minn.:
David A. Reed, of Pittsburgh, and tho
other prominent lawyers In tho defense
of the "Steel Trust" sat In a row with
their eyes fixed on the white-haired at
torney. JOHNSON'S WIT STIRS LAUGHTER.
Tho spectators listened attentively.
Once they laughed. Mr. Johnson was
responsible for the laugh.
Resting his two elbows on tha high
table In the centre of the countroom.
Mr. Johnson, with a smile, began to
answer special Assistant Attorney General
Colton, who stated that more steel would
be sold In America If the prices were
lower.
"The steel market Is well supplied with
steel at the present time," said the at
torney. "That Is one of the reasons why
steel Isn't being bought as much as be
fore." Raising his elbows and looking at tho
Government prosecutors, Mr. Johnson con
tinued: "I suppose If steel could be crushed Into
jelly nnd then decorated with a delicious
cream sauce the demand for steel would
be greater. Just now everybody Is sup
plied with all sorts of steel products."
Opening his argument, Mr. Johnson
paid a tribute to the other corporation
lawcrs. Scanning the faces of the coun
try's highest priced corporation lawyers,
Mr. Johnson said:
"My colleagues havo so thoroughly
discussed the whole case that I am left
In tho embarrnsslng position of having
nothing left to say."
ANALYZES THE CHARGES.
Mr. Johnson, however, said a great deal.
A complete denial of the Government's
charges was made by the "Trust's" chief
attorney. Every charge on which Jacob
Dickinson, former Secretary of War.
argued was carefully analyzed. Different
chnrges were discussed at length. Many
times the lawyer turned around and
dramatically denounced tho charges with
the word "ridiculous."
"Our adversary has seen fit to attack
Judge Gary for a transaction which oc
curred 12 yearB ago" (formation of "Steel
Trust").
A tribute was paid to Judge Gary by
the lawyer for Integrity and especially
for helping to prevent a panic which was
facing the country In 1507 at the time tho
Tennessee Coal and Iron Company waa
taken over by the "Steel Trust."
"COUNTRY FACES CRISIS."
"At that particular time this country
was facing a crisis." said the lawyer,
"and a panic seemed Impossible to avert.
A lighted match would have resulted In
a frightful conflagration at that particu
lar time. The transfer of that company
by such men as Judge Gary and others
was what prevented a panic and frightful
suffering " . .
Mr. Johnson stated that tho Steel Cor
poration always was ready to answer any
quest'on of Government Investigators be
fore the suit was filed

HIGH SCHOOL HEEDS
TOPIC OF TEACHERS
OF MONTGOMERY
Uniformity in Methods of In
struction Favored by Mem
bers of the County Insti
tute. NORRISTOWN, Pa., Oct. 28,-How hest
to secure uniformity of high school
courses in the county occupied tho at
tention of the High School Teachers' As
sociation of Montgomery County at the
annual sessions of the Montgomery
County Teachers' Institute in the high
school here today. This section of the
Institute, known as the high school sec
tion, was presided over by Charles Pen
nypacker, principal of the Lower Merlon
High School. The association agreed that
at least one foreign langunge should be
taught In the public schools, with a pref
erence for Latin, and a committee of
three was authorized to report at tho
next meeting as to the course to pursue
In reference to two other languages.
There was only one vote In favor of Ger
man taking the place of Latin In the
schools, although It developed that In
certain sections of Montgomery County
the teaching of German was preferred
and two languages could not be taught
because there was not an adequate teach
ing staff.
In the rural section Clarence G. Cooper,
rupervlsor of rural schools In Baltimore
County, Md., In a talk on composition,
told the MO or more rural teachers that
the trouble was that many of the teach
ers were talking things Instead of doing
things.
He told th teachers to avoid sarcastic
remarks In the schoolroom, arguing that
the had a depressing effect upon the
pupil and said that the rod had better bo
used. "Do as Theodore Roosevelt says,"
observed Mr. Cooper; "have something to
say and then say It.
H advocated the correction of school
wcrk of one pupil by another pupil In
preference to a correction by the teacher.
Th'; pupil, he said, was apathetic to the
tencher's marking, whereas "If Johnny
lores was to correct Mary Smith's paper
It would Invariably Incite the proper
ep.rit In the pupil."
In the grammar school section "re
tardation In the grammar grades" was
discussed by Leroy A. King. Jenklntown,
and Miss Wager, of West Noriton, while
poetry for the grammar grades was the
subject discussed by J. O Carter Troop,
of the University of Toronto.
Other subjects in the rural section were
"The Rural School Agricultural Problems,
What They Are and Methods of Treating
Them," discussed by Henry M Johnson,
Sklppack, and Leldy Kramer, Hatfield.
Last night s session was devoted to a
lecture by Frank Cannon, former Senator
from Ctah. who told of the growth of the
Mormon religion.
"Every Bpoonful of sugar that you eat
Is promoting the growth of Mormonism."
declared the former Senator, who ex
plained that a Mormon was at the head
of the Sugar Trust. Mormonlem, he said,
was growing In 11 of the United States
Prorhet Smith, he declared, controls JO
votes In the United States Senate.

"I had a lot of fun," he declared

persons at the station with an Immense
bouquet of flowers for him.
At Pottstown JAY) persons thronged the
station. A Republican banner was dis

and the sordid creatures who uphold a
banner like that. It Is a mighty poor
way to sell yourself for money."

again.
"Think of the Infamy of soul that

"Bully for you," shouted Roosevelt;
"look at the banner of the scab."
A hundred voices cried, "Pull It down."
"Let It stand," nhouted Roosevelt. "We

hold up the banner of their own Infamy."
At Rlrdsboro J00 gave Roosevelt another

The Colonel also referred to the Pen-rose-Vare-McNIchol
debauchery charges.
"Here In Pennsylvania," he said, "the

"In New York," he said, "there are two

Pupils now spend 12 years in the pubiia

of 1j.
Mr. Wheeler nnd Superintendent Brum
baugh urged tho board to revise tho court
last spring, but the plan was not ap.
proved because tho term was then almost
ended. In nil probability a single school
will bo erected where the plan will be.
applied experimentally, nnd If It provet
successful the change will becomo a gen
eral one.
Tho system which Mr. Wheeler advo
cates Is now In operation In Boston,
Kansas City, Knn.: Springfield, 111.; Ro.
Chester nnd other cities.
Mr. Wheeler believes with tho new
grading congestion In the high schooli
will bo removed. Ho called attention to
the overcrowding nt tho West Philadel
phia High School, which was built less
than two years ugo nt tho cost of $1,250,.
000.
PROBLEM OF THE BOARD.
"It Is logical to bolleve," ho said, "that
the board will face the samo problem
In the future In Germantown, Kensing
ton, South Philadelphia nnd Frankford.
Although largo high schools aro to' be
erected In thoso sections, thero Is a
strong possibility that they, too, xylll
prove Inadequate. Tho annual report of
President Edmunds of the Board of Edu
cation shows that the high school pop
ulation In this city has increased about
100 per cent. In the last ten years.
"Tho cost per pupil for building and
furniture In the elementary schools is
?270 nnd in the high schools, $370. Under
the new system the cost would be reduced
to such an extent that a difference of
$12 a year per pupil would be found In
the Interest which tho board must pay on
loans llonted to supply these facilities."
A reduction In the cost of high school
equipment would be another factor. In
the economy, he said. Since tho "Junior"
nnd "senior" high schools could bo hout
ed In separate buildings expensive equip
ment would not bo Installed In building!
where all tho pupils can not make use of
tho costly npparatus.
