LAWYERS OBSTACLES
 TO BETTER LAWS
President Gompers Pays His Respects
 to Bsrristers

New York, Nov. 22-Mr. Gompers paid his respects to the legal profes- sion today at the opening session of the National Civic Federation's an nual meeting. He was discussing the need in this country of new laws to cover the subject of employers lia- bility and provide adequate compensa- ton to wage carners injured by acci- dents.
 Lawyers will prevent our getting the best and wisest laws in the mat ter he said; they will have little difficulty in finding almost insur- mountable constitutional objection for the resources of our constitutional lawyers for interpretation are limitless. particularly when they are superin- duced by an opportunity for well earned fees.
 All we can hope for is a little progress. We must go on with our work of spreading light For the present let us be satisfied with estab- fishing some semblance of justice which is demanded by such disasters as this most recent one at Cherry, Ills"

PHoENIX, ARIZONA. NOV. 2s. 1909.
An Arizona Poem.

A part of the program of the terri torial teachers association was a song called Arizona" (not the terri torial hymn of the same name). but the production of a teacher who de scribes his westward journey. ending in matrimonial catastrophe. A cat astrophe, by the way. is not neces- sarily a calamity since there are hap py as well as unhappy catastrophes.
 Concerning a painful episode of his career in Arizona, the songster ex- hibits a poetical license to violate an chronological law:
 And when l found that I was broke
 It gave me such a pain
 l scarcely knew just what to do
 My fortune to regain.
 I thought that I would buy a mine,
 Like any other fool
 l lost my grit and then I quit
 And went to teaching school"
 A teacher may be short of funds or may be absolutely without funds. but if the principles of grammar are strictly lived up to he can in no circumstances be broke"
 The lay of the teacher concludes as follows:
 T started out with courage bold
 A pedagogue to be.
 My pupils were of every age
 From five to twenty-three Among them was a fair young miss
 As ever you did see
 l married her, and then I sailed
 On life's tempestuous sea"
 The poet appears to have retained his courage bold" to the last or he would not dare to compare his mar ried life with a tempestuous sea. That is a break he cannot justify to a living or undivorced wife by poetic license. Lord Byron used to write unpleas- ant things about his wife after he was separated from her and he wrote q particularly spitefuI thing about her when she was dead But that did not call for a large volume of "cour- age bold" The only kind of courage that properly fortifies a man for this kind of a literary performance is | Dutch courage"

CLARKSON'S SCALP.
Will DsneIe Fro nthe Belt of Timothy
 Woodruff.

Washington. Nov. 21.-Positive an nouncement that General James Clark son. surveyor of the port of New York would not be re-appointed was made by Secretary of the Treasury Mac Veagh. The decision against the re- tention of the former political warrior of Iowa in one of the choicest billets in the federal service in New York was not surprise to those familiar with political conditions.
 When MT. MacVeagh was inducted into the cabinet. Timothy Woodruff. the former lieutenant governor of New York. it is said. demanded Clarkson's scalp. The trouble is said to have had it's origin in the desire of the state republican politicians for the patron age. The office pays ss0OO year.

New York. July l.. Proceedings

Commissioner Bingham's refusal TO

The removal was followed quickly
by the announcement that Mayor Nc
Clellan mad appointed VIM. F. Baker,

commissioner to succeed General

Duffy's case was taken up recently
by Supreme Court Justice Gaynor,
who in scathing letters to the mayor

had personally looked into Justice
Gaynor's charges, directed Commis-

New London, July THE two Har-
ward crews, the varsity four and the
freshmen eight. won the morning
races from yale on the Thames in
both, the superiority in the winners
being decidedly marked The condi-
tions on river were fairly good.
The first race, fours, was started
OFF Broadview. where the Harvard
quarters are, and the finish was at
the navy yard two miles below. What
ever advantage the blue seemed to
nave in the first half mile was over
come before a mile had been cover
ed. Then the crimson blades began
to dip with stronger power and open
water was increased and Harvard
swept across the finish line with prac-
tically three lengths OF clear water
between her and Yale's shell.
The official time was Harvard
1914; Yale 1928.
This is the slowest time ever made
in the event which has now passed
its tenth year.
Easy for Harvard.
The freshman eight race was an
easy win for the crimson. the rapid
strong stroke sending the shell into
the lead after the initial burst Of
speed of both crews. Yale did her
best in the first mile to cut down
that open water, but ii was a stern
chase with the crimson pulling away
little by little. AS the crews swept
down to the finish at the draw bridge
Harvard had a lead OF fully ten
lengths.
