is A SPEECH advocating the Bureau OF
Labor Statistics, Congressman Worth
ington, of Illinois, truly said: "The sta
bility of the Government, the order OF
society, the execution Of the laws, and
the absence of mob violence and public
tumults depend largely upon the en-
ployment, the comfort and the prosperi-
ty Of the working people. We cannot
close our eyes to the fact that the seeds
of communism, scattered broadcast in
the labor centers of European countries,
have also been sown in many Of our
large cities, and are in danger of produc-
ing fruit. 1t Is easier to check the spread
Of communism by removing the causes
which tend to produce IT than to put 1t
down and stamp II out when men and
women are maddened by hunger and
want Of employment. The sword and
the bayonet are dangerous instrumen is
and cut both ways when turned against
the bone and sinew of the land. tits the
part Of wisdom, then, not only to inves-
tigate thoroughly every agency that
affects the tolling millions, but also TO
conduct that investigation in such
thorough, honest and impartial manner
as shall convince every working man
that the Government is in earnest in
making his condition as tolerable and
prosperous as legislation and an Impair
tial administration of the law can
secure"
EX-A1ToRNEY GENERAL Buck WALTON
has written biography of Ben Thomp-
son, and the immense sale that has at
tended the publication thereof is anoth-
er proof Of the morbid curiosity existing
in the majority Of people. Ben Thomp-
son would never have achieved any
marked distinction in any other role
than that Of desperate, nor would he
have been favored with a biography II
he had conducted himself as respecta-
BILE citizen of ordinary calibre. 1t would
be interesting and instructive to study
comparatively the character of eminent
men and great criminals. 1t would be
found that the actuating force in both
sections is due to an exaggerated vanity.
There Is n certain portion of humanity
who, as writer, said of Voltaire, is
"burnt up by ambition" Ambition is
an inordinate desire for power or emf
nence, too often accompanied with in
difference as to the means Of obtaining
chronological development of this
overruling passion and yet possess no
correspondingly intellectual power TO
direct it in legitimate field of action.
