Roger W. Babson, Lifelong Repub

Has Tried to Apply Golden Ride to
Solving Nation's Problems.

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. If so, thev
-Mill ultimately be of benefit to us
-till.
1'oivign Ap-Hilutmcnt-t IjiiuUhI.
"Puring the past four yeais my
liusine-s ha- taken me to m.mv for.

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

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.

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.
