Cancel Phone Contract k as Economy Measure At the last meeting of the School I Board a resolution was adopted can- the contract of the Cumber land Valley Telephone company. For several years the schoolbuildings have been provided with the phones of both systems and in the interest of economv the Board decided that the United phones might be removed. When it was decided to install both systems in the schoolbuildings the argument was made that inasmuch as many patrons of the schools use h single phone it was only fair that both systems should be installed in the buildings and at the School Board offices. After consideration of the matter the directors concluded that economy should be exercised in the telephone facilities. Dr. Dixon Gives SI,OOO Toward Paralysis Ward Dr. Samuel G. Dixon.

H., Sept. 7. Charles E. Hughes, in an address here to-day referred to the Adamson law "not as an eight-hour a day law, but a wage law" and declared that failure of peaceful settlement of industrial disputes was but "another step from the abdication of government itself." His audience applauded loudly. "We cannot afford to surrender what we have won for our Institu tions in this country," the nominee said. "What have we won? Have won the right to free discussion, a free press, a Democratic form of gov ernment, free assemblage, free legis latures and an executive chosen by the people. We have left autocracy. We have left tyranny. We have left force. They shall not come back if we can prevent it. "We have recently seen tvhat I re gard as a very deplorable surrender of that principle. I am for the arbitra tion of industrial disputes. That is in the interests of labor. Labor can not afford to surrender that principle. "It Is a Wage Law" "We have recently had, at the pro posal of the executive, an act passed by Congress confessedly in ignorance of the facts, confessedly in ignorance of what justice demands. It is not an eight-hour a day law. It is a wage law and nobody knew whether it was Just or not "Now I am for justice in everything but I propose that In all we do we shall investigate first and then legis late. Our methods in this country are of priceless importance to us be cause they are methods which con serve our peace. It is only one step from peaceful settlement of such dis putes to the denunciation of our courts and all the machinery of peace ful settlement is only another step to the abdication of government it self." "Rule oi Force" Assailed by Hughes at Beverly Beverly, Mass., Sept. 7. North Shore residents turned out in large numbers to-day to greet Charles E. Hughes, who made a brief stop here on his way to New Hampshire and Maine. Mr. Hughes, speaking from the platform of his private car, again assailed the "rule of force." "We are all together and must share in the prosperity of the country on a just and fair basis If we are to have an enduring stability and pros perity," he said. "But underlying all that is the necessity of having the reign of rea son in this country. "If I were the Executive of the United States I would not yield to force effected by capital or labor or any one in this country, short of a fair examination of the facts and knowledge of what the case actually demanded. Labor least of all can af ford to surrender the rule of reason. "This country must never know the rule of force. It must never know legislation under oppression. I am opposed to that. I am opposed to everything which pertains to the ex ercise of arbitrary power by any one." State Coal Commission Begins Probe of Rates Philadelphia, Sept. 7. The State Coal Commission appointed by Gov ernor Brumbaugh, began a probe here to-day into the increase in price of anthracite. Retailers were examined to prove the advance in the cost of do mestic coal, but denied they rad en tered into a conspiracy to mulct the public. All pleaded that they were making a small margin of profit. The probe will probably occupy three days and many witnesses will be subpenaed. The object Is to deter mine whether retailers have returned the unconstitutional coal tax, amount ing to about twenty-five cents a ton. and whether there was a "gentleman's agreement" between the retailers to force an unreasonable schedule of prices upon consumers. HAfUUSBUHG TELEGRAPH COMPLETE ACCORD FOUND BY MOOSER Medill McCormick Sees Perfect Harmony Between Parties; Whacks Wilson Medill McCormick of Chicago, lead er of the Bull Moose herd in Illinois, ! is now stumping for the Republican i ticket in Maine. Stopping" on the way I in New York he was asked what he had heard of the trend of Progres- ; sive feeling. This is what he said: "I'll talk only about the State I have accurate reports from," he replied. ; "In Illinois 1 know of only one county the Progressives and the He publicans are not working together in complete harmony. There Is harmony now in Indiana. The trouble in Mich- j igan amounted to little. There seem to be no difference left in either of ] the Dakotas. In Nebraska the Pro gressives have indorsed Hughes. There is complete harmony in Kansas. | My reports indicate that at least 80 i per cent, of the Progressives in these j States will vote for Hughes and the j percentage will run higher out on the j coast. "I am now certain that Hughes will carry Illinois by 200,000. figuring on j the basis of the male vote of the State.; We expect that about 700,000 women i will vote for President in Illinois and I experience has shown that the women j divide politically just about as their husbands and brothers do. I feel so sure of my own election as Congress man-at-large that I can take time to go afield and help the heads of the ticket." Wilson Speech Beautiful, But— "How did the President's speech of acceptance strike you?" "It was a lovely document," said Mr. McCormick, "really quite beautiful. No finer presentation of their side of it could have been made. It reads like a novel. One could set it to music and be charmed to sleep. I am going to list these in a 3.000 word speech in Maine, so I will merely point out one of the obvious ones. "Mr. Wilson speaks of the right of the weak, small States to be dealt with exactly as large, powerful States are dealt with. How about Hayti? The only government there is supplied by the United States Marine Corps. "He speaks of the atrocious Huerta. a usurper, and yet he quickly recog nized Yuan Shih Kai. He declined to recognize Huerta, yet he accorded for a time equal recognition to Carranza and Villa. Changes Front Too Rapidly "The last domestic pronouncement of Carranza's I know of was his sold statement to the striking railroad workers of Mexico that if they did not return to work he would execute every last one of them. "The trouble with Wilson is that ho changes front so rapidly that you never know where to find him. He once characterized as absurd any idea that child labor could be prohibited by Federal enactment. He was against the tariff commission and the trade commission and the whole principle of investigation and regulation by com mission. Where is he now? "It was not so long ago that he characterized the demand for military preparedness as 'nervous excitement' and solemnly averred he would not be moved by it. Now none boasts louder than he of his services toward preparedness. "What can you do with such a man? He has evidently been a student of Disraeli, who always presented in a parliamentary program those things he had opposed at the preceding elec tion." McADOOCH AIRMAN; HOUSE HIS ASSISTANT [Continued From First Page] upon whom the President relies for political suggestions. Chief among these are Secretary McAdoo and Col onel House. IJkc the Last Campaign That the present situation should exist is not surprising in view of the fact that President Wilson has been guided by these two men throughout his administration to a much greater extent than by all the suggestions that have come to him from other sources. The same situation existed in the last campaign, when McAdoo assumed virtual control and succeeded so com pletely in subordinating McCombs, the then chairman, that after the election of Wilson, McCombs had virtually no standing with the administration, while McAdoo was given credit for the victory. McAdoos ambition Is generally be lieved to be the promotion of the in terests of McAdoo. Since his interests are identified with the political inter ests of the President, he is naturally zealous in behalf of the latter's elec tion. Nevertheless, it is a fact that the President's known weakness among the Democrats of New York and some other important States is largely due to mistrust of McAdoo. Making a McAdoo Machine McAdoo has been charged with a constant effort to create in New York and elsewhere a McAdoo machine, which while it might be regarded as an administration organization, has always been under the control of Mc- Adoo. The President's fights with Tam many and with Democratic leaders in New Jersey and elsewhere over ap pointments have invariably shown that the real fight on the part of the ad ministration was to place in office the men selected by McAdoo. McAdoo controlled the appointments to the federal reserve board, and if he does not control the board, it is not be cause of any absence of effort on his part. McAdoo is the author of the ship purchase policy of the administration, and of almost every other policy of government interference with business upon lines which could give the rep resentatives •of the administration a coercive power over business. He has therefore come to be regarded as ex erting the most dangerous influence to which the present administration is susceptible, because in all the move ments that have been planned and di rected by him, it has been seen that he has always been striving to get more and more power for himself. Democrats Growing Uneasy Democrats generally have watch ed the manifestations of McAdoo's growing ambition with uneasiness and dislike. Now as it develops that Mc- Adoo is the real directing force in the campaign for the re-election of Presi dent Wilson, the mistrust of McAdoo and his purposes is likely to increase. The present plan of the Democrats Is to keep the McAdoo-House domina tion a set-ret, and to continue the pre tense that Vance McCormick is really in control. But so obvious has the McAdoo domination become, that the secret is already an open one, and the effect upon Democrats, especially here in Now York, is not improving the prospect of a Democratic majority in this State. Most of the men who are now per forming important campaign work under McCormick are men who were selected not by McCormick, but by McAdoo. Vance McCormick is said to be dis satisfied, but is so loyal to the Presi dent that he is not disposed to offer any resistance or to display any re sentment.
