SAMUEL GOMPERs.

The advent of Samuel Gompers to
Chicago had an immediate and salutary
effect upon atmospheric conditions sur
rounding the strike. Samuel Gompers is
the president of the American Federation
of Labor, aud he is credit to that or
ganization. The writer of this article
recently had occasion to interview him in
his Office at the headquarters of the A. F.
L at Washington, D. G. and he found
him to ke courteous and affable gentle
man, slow of speech and dignihed Of
bearing. man who inspires the respect
and confidence of the people whom ne
meets If the subordinate officers of the
A. F. L. were posses ed CT tact, integrity
and acumen in the measure in which Mr.
! Gompers has these valuable attribute.
there would be less of the disgracesul ex.
hibitions which impair the efficacy O
strikes and drive public sympathy away
from this method of settling laborint
!, disputes.
Originally cigar maker, Mr.. Gomper
has improved opportunity until he nov
takes high rank as an economist ant
sociologist He reveals an exhaustive
knowledge of social problems aod human
nature, and confines himself to practica
and possible remedies for existing wrong
and inequalities among laboring men
Whether considered with the plebian o
the patrician, the proletaire or beal
monde, the commoner or the aristocrat
he measures up to the full stature of
man.

woMENs CLUBS DEFENDED.

w. L. Bodine, Superintendent of Com.
pulsory Education in Chicago, does not
agree with Grover Cleveland that women's
clubs are pernicious He writes:
81 believe in women's clubs because
am in an official position. as Superinten
dent of Compulsory Education in Chicago,
to know the vast amount of good they have
accomplished in child-saving work, in Sc.
curing legislation on compulsory educa
ton, parental schools and juvenile courts.
and in the suppression cf child labor.
Womens clubs are not theoretical They
are practical. They act. They do things
for the good of the community and the
country. While men have been busy
quarreliing over the money question and
the tariff question, womens clubs have
been busy safeguarding humanity.
''Grover Cleveland, in recent article,
assaulted women's clubs. He believes
they are inlmical to society; menace to
the nation. The distinguished gentleman
rom New Jersey, pirates much of home
life, of woman, her duty, her work. Be
| it remembered this is the same distin-
guished gentleman who lived half cen
fury as club bachelor before that indie
Unable spell of enchantment known as ro-
nance took possession Of his soul, and he
at last knew what home life was
For some time prior to that event, dur
ton, the republic beheld the spectacle of
president setting. as an example to his
people. man in the White House who
had no wife and no concrete value for
home life-then distinguished exponent
of race suicide, to say the least. Be it
said to the credit of Mr.. Cleveland, he has
since redeemed himself. But as peni-
tent it is ungracious for him to assail
mothers who belong to women's clubs,
and some of whom had families long ere
he had taken unto himself bride, 1t
would be unreasonable for him or any
other citizen to paint the ideal wife, in
this day and generation, as one whose life
was bounded by the kitchen and drawing
room, the nursery and the front porch.
Any man who would not give his wife a
day off once week or oftener. to spend an
intellectual afternoon at woman's club,
is unreasonable. undemocratic and I'M
American.
Women's clubs do not impair home life;
they promote it. They do not tend to
race suicide; the majority of their mem
bers are mothers. They not only improve
their own homes. but they extend the
helping hand of benevolence to other
homes-to other peoples children. to the
fatherless and oppressed, to the poor
children of the city whose outings and va
cation schools are few of the many beau
tiful philantrophies where the altruistic
doctrine of women's clubs is apparent. y

THE RATE PROBLEM.

/ want to say a word as to govern
mental policy in which l feel that this
whole country ought to take an interest
and to which think,our government must
go. speak of the policy of extending
the power of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and of giving them particu-
larly the power to fix rates, and to have
the rates which they fix go into effect
practically at once. We see railways go
grow up, each of which is controlled by a
single corporation or individual, some
times several of them being controlled in
combination by corporations or few in
dividuals. When such is the case, in my
judgment it is absolutely necessary that
the nation-for the state cannot possibly do
it-should assume a supervisory and
regulatory function oyer the great cor
porations which practically control the
highways of commerce president Roose-
welt.
The law now is as decided by the
supreme court of the United States. that a
commission and then the Courts may de-
eide whether particular rate is reason
able. Now, in fixing that. in the very
mental process in determining whether a
rate is reasonable or unreasonable. one
has got to fix what is maximum rate.
AS I understand it, what is pro.
posed is only that IN litigated cases COM
mission shall be constituted that shall fix
maximum rate; in other words, to go
through the same process it now goes
through to determine what is a reasonable
rate. What am strongly in favor of,
though, is that we shall have body that
shall decide things, and that those things
shall be decided within reasonable time
finally by the courts ~ Secretary of
War, w. H. Taft.
