MIR. YOUNG.

Those who have been wont to pict-
ure the state organizer of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor as an anar-
chist and a fire-eater were probably
disappointed last night when they
found that instead he was a big,
thoughtful man, in deadly earnest in
his work for the cause of trades union
ism, but not at all embittered because
everybody in the world didn't see
things as he did; that he was a man
big enough to entertain high respect
for the man who honestly differed
enough to have an unmeasured con-
tempt for the man who would wilfully
misrepresent a political opponent.
Mr.. Young very properly disclaimed
that either Mr.. Gompers or any of his
political dctators. He pointed out that
the political program of the American
Federation was mapped out with the
approval Of the heads of the various
internationals affiliated with that body,
but even this did not attempt to take
away the right of an American citizen
10 vote as he pleased He merely en-
phasized the fact that the majority Of
trade unionists had come to the con-
clusion that it was necessary to enter
the political field to aid the cause of
trades unionism, and his line of argu-
ment was such as to convince the
union men present that the leaders of
the movement had taken the right
stand.
Speaking only for itself. The States
man fails to see anything un-Ameri-
can in that.

running THE ROADS.

The highways of France have the
reputation of being the finest in the
world
They probably deserve it as a whole,
though perhaps single mountain roads
on either side of the Alps are more
firm and lasting. The charm of the
French roads is that the average quail
ity of them is so good that you can
go from one end of the republic to the
other without using a bit of rough or
soft highway.
Therefore automobile enthusiasts
from Europe and all parts of America
crowd the French highways and by
ways. Machines of high power and
speed whirl from Normandy to Pro
vence, from the Rhine to the Loire
The roads are not bearing the test as
we'll s.s was generally expected. Hard
and smooth on the surface, able to
resist ordinary traffic, the suction O.

that reach the softer and looser foun.
