JHEELERNVADE CODLDGECOUNTRY Opens Campaign in New Eng-, ' land on Historic Bos- ton Common. In the heart of the Collidge baili- wick, on_historic Boston Common. 1yving in the shadow ofthe gilt-domed statehouse, where Caolidge won nation-wide acclaim by his “law-and- order” administration, the campaign for the La Follette ticket was opened at noon today by the vice presidential nominee, Senator Wheeler -of Mon-~ tana . In a radio address later in:the day and in a speech in Worcester, Ma tomorrow Senator Wheeler plans to continue h + drive, discuss- ing campaign issues. He will swing through five of the New England States, delivering three or more ad- dre: to the voters each day, his principal speaking centers being Portland, Me.; Manchester, H.; Providence, R.'1.; New Haven, Conn., and other New England citles. Itinerary Is Vague. The itinerary of the Montana Sen- ator. after the conclusion of his New England tour, was still vague when he left here last night, due chiefly to uncertainty as to when he will be brought to trial in Montana on charges of accepting fees as an at- torney for appearing before a Federal department fter his election to the Senate. He id, however, he was making plans with the expec that the trial would get under way by mid-September. Meantime, Mr. Wheeler added, he would continue stumping in the t, probably in ew York State, and perhaps in New Jersey and Pennsyl- vania, and in t event his trial delayed, ma spend eeveral weeks campaigning in the East before in- vading the West In a Labor day statement issued last night, Matthew Woll, vice presi- dent of the American Federation of Labor, declared that it was the “duty of every American wage-earner to consecrate himself to the great task of bringing about the election of La Follette and Wheeler."” “The American Federation of Labor's non-partisan political policy,” con- tinued Mr. Woll, as this yvear above all others demonst ed its practical character and its a ty to meet emergencie It is on the basis of a non-parti an 1d a refusal to become a part of party organiza- tions that we have de red our un- swerving support of the Independent ticke is Ivs Chance for Workers. “The working people of America have a glorious opportunity this year to redeem government for the masses of the people. Labor day is-a fitting day for plannins to carry forward this work. It is a fitting day to put into the tampaizn all of the determination and enthu: 1 which our great move- ment posses “This is more than a political cam- paign. It is a crusade_in behalf of great principle: enator Ladd of North Dakota, who is suppor the LaFollette-Wheeler ticket, in a statement sald that “neither of the two old parties need expect any great showing of popular approval in the Northwest at the com- ing election.” Senator LaFollette, he predicted, “will carry the Northwest hands-down against all comers.” 103-YEAR-OLD MAN TO VOTE FOR DAVIS Lived Through Terms of 25 Presi- dents Without Casting Bal- lot for Either. Special Dispatch to The Star. . GREENSBORO, N. C., September 1.— Robert Leonard, Greensboro man, has lived to see 19 Presidents of the United States serve, but, at the age of 103 he has never voted for one. He will, however, vote for John W. Davis, Democratic standard bearer, in the November clection. Mr. Leonard, asked of course the usual question, “To what do you at- tribute vour long life?’ sald he had never taken a drink of liquor. That's not the only reason for his many years, however, as he also gives “liv- ing a clean life” credit of advanced age. Another thing has contributed, at least serving to keep him from any violent end he believes in a “live and let live" policy. Twice married, he has strong ideas on woman and her conduct. His first wife he considered a paragon. “She ploughed the fields and worked the farm while I was away at war.” Leonard served in the Confederate army. He doesn't think so much of modern women, especially the modern girl, with short hair and painted face. He was born in Sumner township, Guilford County, 103 years ago, he says, and has lived in the county virtually all his life. He served throughout the Civil War without re- ceiving a scratch. He is able to walk around the streets, not being given to sitting in the chimney corner. He weighs 210 pounds, his hearing' is £00d, as is his sight and other senses. He is erect, standing or sitting, and loves to joke. During the time he has been eligible to vote the following men have been Presidents: James K. Polk, Zachary Taylor, Millard _Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A_ Garfield, Chester A. Arthur, Grover Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison, Wil- liam McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, Willlam H. Taft, Woodrow Wilson, ri’l.rrun G. Harding and Calvin Cool- ge. i He has heard the news of the as- sassination of Lincoln, of Garfield, of McKinley: -and the attempt at ‘wounding of Roosevelt. He has seen good timeg bad, panics and booms, and 'Heard the polftical spell- binders prophesying disaster or pros- perity according to the party they represented. Volstead never hurt him, Mr. Leonard says—made no difference in his life whatever. Liquor is what is ruining many young people, he be- lieves. “Whisky didn’t use to hurt people,” he said, “but they don't make it out of the same things now- aday.” Young people stay up too late at night, he believes. “Why they stay up until 10 and 11 o'clock. That's what is wrong with people today. T've always gone to bed at 7 o'clock at nights and got up early in the morning.” - He doesn’t think much of women having the ballot. “They don’t know what they're doing,” he said. He would say little more: about women voting, although shook his head in a manner that showed it was better left une=ia, : Effect of Musio. From the London TH-Bits.

INTO WORLD COUNCILS (Continued from First Page.) or against the farm or the factory, the countryside or the city, the East or the West. All our laws must be 50 tramed and so applied as to leave all mer: every liberty which is con- sistent with the equal liberties of others. This was founded as the land of freedom. We must keep it so. To Secure Natlon Againxt War. “And in tie third place, we must make the Nation secure against war or the threat of war by adapting our political and commerefal policies to the new conditions that exist in the modern world. “The key to the door of equal oppor- tunity is education. Now and again a misguided voice is rajsed to suggest that we may become over-educated. The theory seems to be that If we educate the brain there will be no one left to do the labor of the hand. It is the same ‘mud-sill; theory wi Abraham Lincoln denounced. We must not enter on the fatal path of a state monopoly of educa- tion, nor should we load upon am overburdened Government at Washington this _educational du- ties which properly belong to the States and cities and local commun- ities. But we must sustain, support and strengthen in every way our in- dispensible system of publi so that every child may be of an education, and of such an edu- cation as will fit him not only to earn a living but also to live. We must resist every tendency to limit | the education of children of any class merely to the manufacture of hands for industry, and every tendency to produce a standardized American. It is the business of the schools to turn out free citizens of the Repub- lic and not merely docile human machines. Declaration Against Human Greed. “And if we open wide by, education the door of opportunity to the child, we owe it to him to see that human greed docs not close it again. It is a blot upon our good name that child labor should be permitted anywhere in the United States to dwarf the minds and bodies of the future citi- zens of the Republic. To stunt the growth of a child in his most critical vears; to rob him of his opportunity for education, and make of him a juvenile drudge for mere purposes of | profit is a crime against the future of the rac se, the several States can should prevent this thing;: I would not wish that power ta from them. When Congress had pa . its first child labor became my duty as sol to argue in its favor be- fore the Supreme Court of the United 1 urged in support t a uniform standard was d throughout the United States, the States that wished to legislate against child labor would be deterred because of the economic disadvantage they would suffer in competition with their less progressive neighbors. I all attention to the fact that for like reasons more than onme international conference had been called to bring about equality among the natiens on similar subjects. Advises Child Labor Amendment. “The reasons which I put forward in support of the law of 1916 seem to me still to obtain and lead me now to favor the ratification of the pend- ing child labor amendment. Respon- sibility for decision on that subject now rests with the States themselves, but were I a member of a State legis- lature my vote would be cast to ratify the amendment. quality of opportunity, however, is an empty phrase unless all men are left free to grasp it. Not only must laws be just and equal, but we must see that they do not evade those natural rights which neither con- gresses nor legislatures, presidents and governors, courts nor commis- sions, may rightfully restrict. Free- dom of speech, which means the right to say things that displease as well as the things that please those in power; freedom of assembly, freedom of labor, freedom of the press, free- dom in matters of religious belief and practice—these are the rights too sacred to be trifled with. There is no danger in their exercise. It is the attempt at their suppression that leads to excess or explosion. = “I do not envy the frame of mind which causes some men to charge all who disagree with them with plotting the destruction of the Re- public. To judge from some recent utterances, there are those in this country who sce a conspiracy when- ever three workmen meet together, a riot when their rumbers grow to 10, and a revolution if it reaches a hun- dred. Around every corner lurks a ‘red; and nothing but the utmost vigilance of these self-appointed saviors will rescue the country from the destruction he is plotting. Many Mistaken Idens Afioat. “Of course, in a country so diversi- fied as ours many mistaken ideas are set afloat. Wild theories of govern- ment and of soclety are thrown up in a population that contains so many sorts of men. But I am one of those who continue to believe that the best its disinfectant, moral or physical, is fresh alr. The best defense against the tyranny of the few ot the des- potism of the many is fres.and open debate. I prefer liberty, with all its perils, including the liberty to make mistakes, to any system by which the Government seeks to set itself up as 1 shepherd of us all least of these natural rights is the right of free contract. Toward grown men and women, re- sponsible citizens of the republic, we cannot and we should nét'take a paternalistic and protective attitude. 1t is well enough for the Government as an employer to fix by Btatute the hours of labor of those whotn it em- ploys. It is proper and.right that it should pass factory laws,to protect the health and safety of shose who work. Where it undertakes to regu- late .a business, such as transporta- tion, it cannot igmors the conditions that surround the. labor. engaged in that industry. It must defend the future citizenship of the.nation by restrictions on child labox, and in view of the burden which.the duties of the maternity cast upon them it may exercise a special care for those who are, or are to become, the moth- ers of the race. But such cases aside, it should leave adult cases to. make their own contracts in their own way as to the terms and conditions on which their labor is to be performed. For Voluntary Wage Contract. “If Government can fix the Umit of a day's work in ordinary industrial and commercial pursults, it can at its own discretion, make those limits long or short. ‘Tt should attempt to do neither, but leave the parties to all such contracts to bargain with each other as their mutual benefit requires. The wage contract of the adult, no less than any other con- tract, should be a voluntary agree- ment. Anything other than this I believe to be impossible, undesirable, corrupting and tyrannical. It is only when contracts rest upon consent that those who make them are bound in morals to thelr observance. When labor bargains on equal terms with its employer, both parties to the con- tract owe it to themselves, and owe it to society, to keep and perform with scrupulous honesty the con- tracts they have made “It is because I belfeve in a lib- efty that is above and beyond all governmental control that 1 cannot sympathize with those who would glve to congresses and legisiatures, or even to a popular majority, the power to do whatever they might see fit. There 1s no such thing in Amer- ica as governmental discretion. It is not the strong who need protec- tion against unwise and unjust laws nor against the encroachments ot power, It is the weak on whom the burden of such things is most apt to fall. They have the right to call upon the courts to say to every gov- ernmental autocrat, great or small, ‘Thus far shall thou go and no further’ I know judges are human and that they make many mistakes. Men do not cease to be men simply because you put them In a black silk gown and set them in a judicial chair, but, on the other hand, they do not become prophets or seers or sages simply by being elected sen- ators or members of Congress or delegates to a State Legislature. Well Grounded Complaint. “There is one complaint, however, which labor has had cause to make against judicial process which is well founded. . “In my judgment there have been many cases in the past where the writ of injunction has been abused in connection with labor disputes. Infunctions have béen ‘issued which by their terms went beyond any proper limit and sought to deprive men of a lawful exercise of indispu- table rights. They have been framed with partisan zeal, and their effect has been to cast upon the courts the performance of duties which properly belong to those executive officers of the State or nation who are prima- rily charged with the preservation of public peace and public order. It is not well for society, it is not well for the court, it is not well for the parties themselves, that these things should be so. “My views on this subject are not the result of any newly-formed con- viction. When I was your repre- sentative in Congress I was given op- portunity to take part in framing and defending legislation intended to correct these evils, to limit to its proper functions the writ of injunc- tion and to give the right of trial by jury to those who are charged with criminal contempt. I belleved then, as I belleve naw, that such legislation was demanded. If the legislation already passed is not suf- ficient guidance in this matter we must write it in plainer terms. Social and Economic Relations. “The age in which we live differs vastly in its soclal and economic re- lation and in the facts of its indus- trial life from the age in which our Government was founded. The glory of our system has been that it adapts itself to meet the new problems of our ever-changing life. Labor has shared and must continue to share in the responsibility of its adaption. It still remains to be shown, how- ever, whether we ourselyes are able to rise to that new conception of in- ternational relations that these changes demand. “This generation needs no further lesson of the peril and destruetive- g T MANHATTAN DAYS AND NIGHTS BY HERBERT COREY NEW YORK, August 25.—Testimony to-the effect that the average man is honest.

No one thinks of mere- ly going in and getting lunch and paying the check. Every patron tries to stick some other patron with his noonday cost. I saw one man eat ninety cents worth and pay seven dollars. “We cash checks for our custom- ers,” said the boss. “It's good busi- ness.

The tributary streets are filled with taxicabs, ranked from curb to curb, lights all on. Big private cars roll nolselessly around cornexs. The pave- ments of Broadway are filled with the prettiest of pretty girls, all lip- sticked, powdered, bobbed. Their clothes are scanty and diaphanous. Thelr escorts strive to act like men of _money.
