maybe Q labor member of the cabinet
Such is the expectation OF prominent labor
leaders. and toward that end their plans
are being laid.
Labor In our politics means q study by
labor of mole than it's own interests. II II

consider and act ON tie situation in general
Legislation ts a matter OF compromise-of
give and take. Interests clash. No legfs-
lator may reasonably expect to get all
that he desires and demands for his con-
stituents. He goes into conference with his
associates. and each man states his case.
Each man. therefore, In order to secure at
tention himself. must give attention to
others. and. to secure something for his
people, grant something to the people OF
other representatives.
Here Will be organized labor's opportunity.
not only to present Its own demands, but
hear the demands of other interests. The
labor leader elected to Congress will pass
from debates where labor questions alone
are considered to debates where all ques-
lions of national concern are considered.
His views will be broadened. His horizon
will be frightened. He will be benefited
both as leader and as citizen. and should
vote with clearer idea of what the coun-
try as a whole needs in the way of legisla-
ton. Nor will he become any the less a
representative of labor by informing him.
self thoroughly as to all other interests, and
granting unto others the aid he asks for
himself and his cause.
In this view of matters the labor party
should accomplish much good For to the
extent that men charged with legislation
view questions whole the better are their
services to their own people and everybody
else

Fall Of Gorky.

From the New York Evening Post
Comic" Is the only word to apply to
the surprise and pain of our own rose
water and angel-cake socialists, now that
they have discovered that Maxim Gorky
Is not hero for the Ladies' Home Jour
nal. Gorky. in turn. Is equally amazed
and puzzled. He cannot understand why
Americans who pine for that intellectual
and moral freedom which win result from
destruction of the existing social order
should look askance on a man who does
little destroying on his own account.
Gorky is astonished at his own modera-
ton. He has done nothing but leave his
wife in Russia and come to America with
another spiritual affinity" The perform
ance is not strictly legal, but-like ell
such cases-it has the sanction OF the
higher law" Can be that our own
apostles of emancipation are still the
slaves to grovelling superstition? Do they
still make fetish OF the bourgeois vlr-
tues?

The Chinese Minister.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
Without question the Chinese minister
has committed an indiscretion. He had no
right, in the first place, to make any public
comment on pending projects of legislation.
Still less had he the right to endeavor to
influence by public comment American leg
isiation favorable to his own country. Least
OF all had he the right to arraign an Ameri-
can member of Congress before the body to
which he belongs, and before the public.

Byzantine ink made from pure orien-

made from tho skins Of still born kids,
while upon the ample margins could
be displayed miniatures and decora-

no contradiction. All he answered
was: "Youll make your first appear

but one little piece OF realism in her
acting at the end was a delicious
though entirely unconscious piece OF
retaliation upon her father for a rather

she was herself. a child, innocent and
submissive and adoring.
