Babson, Lifelong Repub , llcan, America's Foremost Statis tlcian, Is for Wilson Because He Has Tried to Apply Golden Ride to Solving Nation's Problems. Ni:V YORK, Kci.t. 'Jli.-ltK.T Y Hitlison (if Boston, lilYlontr r'iuWi rim nnd Aniericn'K furiinnst statw ticinn cmd finniK'iitl expert, iinnnunros that lie will vote nnd wink lor the re electi'ni of l'resiilent Vilnnn. "It is lieennse Mr. Wilson seeniu mure interesleil than Mr. 1 iwjies tlin inoral side of sni'li questions as liaukini;, shipping, railroniting, tariff lnlmr and relntioiiH with other nations that I now intind to vote for him in November," said Mr. llulison. Mr. Malison is more widely known in the I'nited States to readers n limpuincs and Htmlents of eeonomie than tin v other writer on finniu'v and business. Has liitTnaUoiuil llepiitntton. lie has an iutemntionit! reputation as an authority on foreign trade rela tions, lie rendered very distinguish ed serviee as n member of the l'an- Amerii'iiu l'luaiieial eonoress, held in Wusiiiiloii in .May, l!ir. Ilis slate iiifiil in full is as follows: ' "I tun for Woodrow Wilson, not be e.mse he is a demoerat, for I mil not n member of the ilenioeralie party. I 'am for Woodrow Wilson, not heenuse of business reasons, for Mr. Hughes' polieies would temporarily briiuj me greater prolits. I am lor .Mr. Wilson lieeaiise I believe that he has tried to apply the Oolden Hide to solving renter national and international . problems. Moral Issue Pin amount. "Any man, whether vepiibliean or demoerat. who will attempt this will have my hearty support. Moreover, I believe that if this moral issue involv ed in the election were elearly put 'forth by his eampaiu ninmitfers he would be sure of re-eleetioii. In most tilings I'ri siiltnt Wilson has already sueeeeded. In some things his work is incomplete, ltut in nil eases I be lieve he bus stood for the kindly, the humane and the Christian principles, "Should lie be defeated it would be n great blow to the cause of right eousness. 'Of course,' my associates Miy, 'the (iolden Hide is all right in theory, but it is no pond in business. Mr. Wilson's ideas may be humane, luit they arc not practical.' ' (llil I.lno Method Failure. "My answer simply is tluit this re mains to lie seen. "Certainly the old line methods of diplomacy ami government have not worked out very well where tliey have been in operatic-n the longest time, namely, in Europe. The so-enlleri 'me first' patriotism and the 'national honor' policy, for which some of Mr. WiKon's opponents appear to stand, are among the fundamental i-aii-es nt' the present r'.uropcnn conflict. Per sonally, I believe that the more Chris tian policy for which Mr. Wilson elands will be found to he much more satisfactory. "Certainly I would like to see it Iried out for four years lons-er; more over, I believe that a majority of the people of this country in their hearts fecl likewise. Legislation ist-iImnI. "The federal banking law, the es lablislmiclit of the pal eel post, the cll netnicnt of tin. Philippine law, the l'iinii loan law, the -hipping law, the child lalior law nnd various oilier measures arc distinctly Iimiu.iu meas ures or nica-ures in the iutere-ts ot the week rather than of the -irons. "On the basis nt immediate results, . recoi'uize that some of the biil- do not apiH'ur to lie 'good business'; but I cannot help IVciinc in the depth i( my soul that they nrc in the interests of the gi eater majority.

Hughes faced two audiences here to day, one at 'a theater which cheered him repeatedly, another in the open air nt n large automobile plant, com posed of workmen otf for the noon hour. A milliner ot ttie taller sougnt to heckle the nominee and cheered for Wilson. There were al-o ninny cheer ful' Hughes. Mr. Hughes spoke on the Adamson law in his open-air speech. He reit erated his declaration that he would never "surrender to force.'' and pented hi.- as-ertioii that the measure w.is not an eight -hour law, but n wage law. The audience listened iinetlv at first nnd cheered points mad' by the nominee. 'What about the Ilaubury bat ters?'' shouted u man on the edge of the crowd. There were manv street noises lrom passing traltie nnd ap parently -Mr. Hughes did not hear. Toward the end of his speech other workmen took up the (pic-linn. What about the Haiibury tcr-?' shouted many. There was much oilier noi-e and dees. Mr. Hughes did not answer. After the meeting he said he had not heard the question. How about the unions in the tae- torv here ?" shouted another man. Mr. Hughes replied that he favored unions and was cheered. As the nom inee nearcd the end of his address there was a growing volume of Wilson beer, sprinkled here and there with uueomplimeiitnrv references to Mr. Hughes. Hi illumed, however, with n smile on bis face, ami nmid-t fre quent npplnuse referred to the Ad- lmsoii law declaring that labor, least of all, could afford to surrender the principle of arbitration only sifter investigation. BOY IS MAIMED BY EXPLOSION OF h:it other countries in their own unham pered development. They Apply Golden Rule. ''One of thi'M appointees mi id to me: 'I urn not murh of a linjriiiM, hut I do understand the pddeli rule, and am trviim hanl to apply it in my diNilinirs with these t'oreiiin people.' Personally, 1 feel it my duty to hnek up any administration which is ivoi'kinu with this spirit. 1-urther- tnoie, I believe that so Ions this (tint is the uuidinj: principle of the president he can he trusted in the work i tit? out of the Mexican problem, the submarine problem, the railroad problem and all oilier unprecedented situations with which lie has to deal. DisHppotittetl in 11 unties '! nm not saying anything n:;aint Mr. Hughes, His record as memor nt" New York was piod. When he was nominated for president, I felt that we were very fortunate in hav ing two such j:ood men as nominees. n common, however, with many other people, I have been very much di-ap-pointed in his recent utterances. Con tracted with Mr. Wilson s, they sound distinctly selfish and narrow-minded. The future safety of this count ry depends not upon building a Chinese wall about ourselves, hut upon helptnc tber nations into a position where thev will hot have an objective in at tacking us. 1 believe that we can blain security and opjMirtunitv for our own people only by the develop ment of pnlieie-: u bieli will provide secmity and opportunity for other people. Wilson Sees .All Miles It seems to me that Mr. Wilson has the vision to see that no bargain ood tor one nation or that i- not aood for all, and that the pros perity of each of us is dependent on the prosperity of all of w. In short, it in because Mr. WiUon m-oiii-s n.ore intere-ted than Mr. Hughes m the uoral side of su.-h iiiie-lion- a- bank- inir. shtppini:, railroaiiini:, tariff, la bor and relations with other nation. that I now intend to nte for him in November," La Verne Johnsun. 10-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Coyle Johnson, who was injured Monday nftenioon when a dynamite cap he was playing with exploded, is toduy resting en-y and the iloetor announce that he will recover from his injuries, al though he will be maimed lor 'ifc. The boy is as yel i'liyhty and hi parents have been unable to iet a clear explanation of how he came into possession of n box of dynamite caps. He says that he found them in his father's barn, hut bow they ot into the barn is a mystery to his par ents. The caps were very old, the writing on the box hardly being leg lble. At the time of the accident the boy was alone at home, having been sent from school, as he eame late without au excuse. Shortly after noon he futind the caps. Three he put in his overalls pocket, and silt ing down holding the box in his right hand, ap plied a match to one of the caps on the ground beside him with his left hand. The resulting explosion tore the muscles Ioom from Ins left leg, filled his eyes with stiver-, of metal and tore the thumb and two finger from his left hand. Mad the eolieus sioii set off the other eill,s he would undoubtedly have been killed. )oc- lors say, alter sewimr together the severed muscles, that the leg wil al ways be stiff and that later it will be necessary to craft a large area of kin on the injured member. It is not thought that his eyesight will be impaired. Following the aceident, the boy walked to the house of a neighbor, who summoned doctors. Later he was taken tn the hospital. Coyle Johnson, father of the boy, is employed in the Med ford street department. Tl ISSAL SA1.KM. Or., Sept. -ML For teach ; "disloyalty to their government," a teacher may be dismissed legally by a school board, according to an pinion rendered here today by the Oregon supreme court in the rn-e of Mora I. Foreman against school dis trict No. L'. ot t olumbia count v, Mrs. Foreman had appealed from a decis ion of the state district court. fter teaching seven months in u Columbia count v luimarv school, Mrs. Foreman, who had received consider able notoriety because of her alleged insistence in teaching so-called so- ialism and anarchy to her pupils. was dismissed. She had been eauag- I to teach for an eibt-months per iod and she sued to recover her salary for the hist month. The supreme court held that under the rules prescribed bv the stale board of education, teachers must iu- uh'ule in the minds of their pupils proper regard for the laws of society md the government. Aden Hnzetton of Kagle Point spent a few hours in Medtovd Tues day, leaving in the afternoon for Salem, having won the trip to the state fair ns a prizewinner in the local fair. Fngilieer W. J. Huberts who built Medford's water system, has returned to Taconia after a week sjient look ing after property interests here. He states that he finds the city and val ley much improved since his last visit and a better air prevailing. With the extension of the irrigation sys tems, he predicts an abiding prosper ity. Air. Roberts lett .Med lord to lieeome state highway engineer of the slate of I Washington, leaving that position to take charge of flood prevention and reclamation work for Fierce and King counties, Washington. The two counties are spending Ali."0,(lU(l year for six vcars to control the flood flow of the Fuyallup and White riv crs, and reclaim 312,000 acres of the richest bottom land in ihe country At flood 'iiods these rivers spread out over miles of territory, cutting new channels every season. The prob lem which Mr. Roberts has success fully solved is to provide a permanent channel which will carry the flood water and reclaim the surrounding bottom land. A straight channel was dredged of an adequate depth and width to carry the flood, Itrush mattresses were laid over the bottom and sides. The levee walls were then faced with re inforced concrete, forming an im pervious wall of concrete. Where the concrete rested on Ihe bottom, two layers of heavy concrete slabs, through which w ere st rung heavy wire cables, connected the concrete wall with the brush mattress at the bottom. These slabs have play enough to move with the shifting cur rents of the bottom and prevent un dermining of the concrete walls by dropping to close any breach. The method adopted has proven successful during the unprecedented floods of the past three years. The bottom of the channel has filled with sand, gravel and wash rock, while the concrete walls have kept the waters onfined. At the head of the new channel huge concrete piers, from which are trung wire' cables, provide n screen that catches the trees, drift woud and flotsam and jetsam of the flood, forming an immense driftwood dam. A portion of this is utilised to re strain the flood, but the channel is kept open by burning the accumulat ed driftwood. PRESIDENT IN PRINCETON TO VOTE AT PRIMARIES PRINCETON. X.
