AUGUST FREIGHT
KEEPS LINES BUSY
Car Movement Over Middle
Division Was Above Average;
Big Rush Is Eastward
Contrary to all expectations August
freight business on the Pennsylvania
Railroad was above average. All divi
sions report a busy month.
The total car movement over Middle
Division during August was 190,261
cars as compared with 17 7,059 in
July. Of this number, 115,131 were
loaded, and 75,130 were empty. Most'
of the empty cars passed westward. Of
the loaded cars, 86,679 passed east
ward and 28,452 passed westward. I
The average numner of cars to pass j
over the division daily during the
month was 6,138. The movement in
August, 1915, was 175,525 cars, the;
increase of August, 1916, over August.
1915, being 14,736 cars. The move- j
ment in August was high but was by
no means a record breaker for the di
vision.

WILSON REVIEWS
HIS ACHIEVEMENTS
[Continued From First Page]
various reasons were former Secretary j
of State Wm. J. Bryan, Speaker
Champ Clark and Charles F. Murphy,
leader of Tammany Hall.
The President and Mrs. t Wilson
made their first appearance' on the
spacious south veranda of the summer
White House shortly after noon when
both were vigorously cheered.
Shortly afterward two special trains
arrived from New York, bearing the
members of the national committee |
and the notification committee. They
were cordially greeted by President j
Wilson. j
Scores of policemen and detectives j
were on hand to maintain order among t
the thousands who came from all parts
of the country for the ceremonies. '
The luncheon given by the Presi- j
den to the members of the national j
and notification committees was an ;
informal affair and aside from the t
committeemen there were few invited j
guests.
"Hello, Boss," cried Secretary Mc- j
Adoo upon sighting National Chair- I
man Vance McCormick.
"I'm glad to hear you say it," re- i
plied the campaign manager.
"Yes, I want to make it public right
now that you are not the 'messenger j
boy' at headquarters," Mr. McAdoo re
torted.
President Wilson formally accepted j
his renomination here with an address ;
recounting the legislative record of ]
the Democratic party, a vigorous de
fense of his Mexican policy, his deal- I
ings with the European belligerents j
and an outline of his view of Amer- I
ica's obligations for the future.
With the members of the jiotifica- !
tion committee headed by Senator j
James grouped about him at Shadow 1
Lawn, the Summer White House, the
President declared the Republican
party was "just the party that can- i
not meet the new conditions of a new j
age," and that the day of Little Am- j
ericanism when "methods of 'protec- j
tion' and industrial nursing were the
chief study of our provincial states
men" was past and gone."
"The future, the immediate future,
will bring us squarely face to face I
with many great and exacting prob- j
lems which will search us through j
and through whether we be able and
ready to play the part in the world
that we mean to play," he said. "It will !
not bring us into their presence
slowly, gently, with ceremonious in
troduction, but. suddenly and at once,
the moment the war in Europe is over.
They will be new problems, most of
them; many will be old problems in
a new setting and with new elements
which we have never dealt with or j
reckoned the force and meaning of I
'before. They will require for their,
i solution new thinking, fresh courage'
and resourcefulness, and in some 1
I matters radical reconsiderations of ;
policy. We must be ready to mobil- [
| ize our resources alike of brains and
of materials.
It is not a future to be afraid of. It
is, rather, a future to stimulate and
excite us to the display of the best
powers that are in us. We may enter
it with confidence when we are sure
that we understand it—and we have
provided ourselves already with the
j means of understanding it.
"Look first at what li will be neces
| sary that the nations of the world
| should do to make the days to come
; tolerable and fit to live and work in;
and then look at our part in c what is
to follow and our own duty of prep
aration. For we must be prepared
both in resources and in policy.
Just and Settled Peace
"There must be a just and settled
peace, and we here in America must
contribute the full force of our en
thusiasm and of our authority as a
nation to the organization of that
peace upon world-wide foundations
that cannot easily be shaken. No na
tion should be forced to take sides in
any quarrel in which its own honor
and integrity and the fortunes of its
own people are not involved; but no
nation can any longer remain neutral
as against any wilful disturbance of
the peace of the world. The effects
of war can no longer be confined to
the areas of battle. No nation stands
wholly apart in interest when the life
and interests of all nations are thrown
into confusion and peril. If hopeful
and generous enterprise is to be re-
newed, if the healing and helpful arts
of life are indeed to be revived when :
peace comes again, a new atmosphere •
of Justice and friendship must be gen
erated by means the world has never >
tried before. The nations of the ■
world must unite in joint guarantees ;
that whatever is done to disturb the ■
whole world's life must first be tested
in the court of the whole world's ]
opinion before it is attempted.
Must Prepare For Peace
"Besides contributing our ungrudg
ing moral and practical support to the 1
establishment of peace throughout the
world we must actively and intelligent
ly prepare ourselves to do our full
service in the trade and industry
which are to sustain and develop the
life of the nations in the days to
come.
"At home also we must see to it that
the men who plan and develop and
direct our business enterprises shall
enjoy definite and settled conditions
of law, a policy accommodated to the
freest progress. We have set the jusl
and necessary limits. We have put all
kinds of unfair competition under the
ban and penalty of the law. We have
barred monopoly. These fatal and
ugly things being excluded, we must
now quicken action and facilitate en
terprise by every just means within
our choice. There will be peace in
the business world, and, with peace,
revived confidence and life.
"We ought both to husband and to
develop our natural resources, our
mines, our forests, our water power.
We must hearten and quicken the
spirit and efficiency of labor through
out our whole Industrial system by
everywhere and in all occupations do
ing justice to the laborer, not only by
paying a living wage but also by mak
ing all conditions that surround labor
what they ought to be. And we must
do more than justice. We must safe
guard life and promote health and
safety in every occupation in which
they are threatened or imperilled.
That is more than justice and better,
because it is humanity and economy.
Touches on Railroads
"We must co-ordinate the railway
' systems of the country for national
| use, and must facilitate and promote
their development with a view to that
co-ordination and to their better
adaptation as a whole to the life and
trade and defense of the nation. The
life and industry of the country can
be free and unhampered only if these
arteries are open, efficient and com
plete.
"Thus we stand ready to meet the
future as circumstance and interna
tional policy effect their unfolding,
whether the changes come slowly or
come fast and without preface.
Must Play Leading Part
"We can no longer indulge our
traditional provincialism," said the
i President. "We are to play a leading
part in the world drama whether we
i wish it or not. We shall lend, not
(borrow; act for ourselves, not imitate
[or follow; organize and initiate, not
! peep about merely to see where we
j may get in."
Speaking of his diplomatic negotia
tions with the European belligerents
the President followed a declaration
| that while property rights might be
vindicated by claims for damages, the
loss of life and the fundamental rights
of humanity never could be, with this
| statement:
j "The record is clear and consistent
throughout and stands distinct and
! definite for anyone to judge who
J wishes to know the truth about, it."
; Immediately afterward he said:
"I am the candidate of a party, but
J I am above all things else an Amer
| ican citizen. I neither seek the favor
| nor fear the displeasure of that small
alien clement amongst us which puts
loyaltv to any foreign power before
loyaltv to the United States."
Regarding his Mexican policy the
President reiterated that the people
of Mexico were struggling "blindly it
may be and as yet ineffectually"
to free themselves from alien interests
'•'some of them Americans pressing for
things they could never have got in
their own country" and that he would
do everything in his power to prevent
i anyone standing in their way.
"It is hard doctrne," said he, "only
|for those who wish to get something
i for themselves out of Mexico." At
another point the Presdent said:
"Mistakes I have no doubt made in
; this perplexing business but not in
purpose or object." He declared at
another point:
Fortunes of Humanity
"I am more interested in the for
tunes of oppressed men and pitiful
women and children than in any prop
erty rights whatever."
At the outset of his references to
the legislative achievements of his
party the President enumerated the
laws placed on the statute books re
lating to business including tariff re
vision, anti-trust laws, revision of the
banking and currency system, rural
credits, rehabilitation of the merchant
marine and creation of the Federal
Trade Commission.
"What other party has understood
Ihe task so well or executed it so in
telligently and energetically," he ask
ed. "What other party has attempted
|it at all? The Republican leaders
j apparently know of no means of as
! sisting ousiness hut protection. How
to stimulate it and put it upon a. new
footing of energy and enterprise they
have not suggested."
At the conclusion of his review of
the party record the President de
clared:
"This extraordinary recital must
! sound like a platform, a list of
sanguine promises: but it is not. It
jis a record of promises made four
j years ago and now actually deemed
jin constructive legislation." Then,
i later he said: "We have in four years
| come very near to carrying out the
j platform of the Progressive Party as
[well as our own; for we are also pro
i gressives.'"
) The President's address was some
j five thousand words long, one of the
most lengthy he has delivered on any
i occasion since taking office.
