nation TO Get on His Feet Again.
Charles W. Morse. who got out Of the
Tombs on Wednesday after fifteen Of
his friends had signed his bail bond Of
S1a5. 900. lost no time in making good
one Of his promises yesterday. After
getting out Of the Tombs Mr.. Morse said
that while he would seek to rehabilitate
his fortunes he was also going to try to
give other folks lift whenever he got
the chance, because some folks had given
him one when he was In trouble.
One OF the first things Mr.. Morse did
on his first day Of freedom was to visit
the Criminal Courts Building in pursu-
anoe OF this plan. While in the Tombs
Mr.. Morse came in contact with q good
many prisoners who talked over their
troubles with him. Some OF them he de-
cided were deserving cases. He prom
ised these prisoners to do what he could
for them II ever he got out.
Mr.. Morse, who had been down town
talking with bis lawyers and friends as
TO his future, went straight to Part H..
where Judge Foster was sitting, as soon
as he got to the Criminal Courts. to see
about the case OF man who is coming up
for trial there next week. After seeing
Judge Foster Mr.. Morse went up to the
District Attorneys Office and had talk
With Assistant District Attorney, lsidor
Kreeel, who ia to prosecute Mr. Morse's
Tombs friend. Mr.. Morse believes that
the man deserves clemency and secured
| promise from both Judge Foster and Mr..
Kresel that they would look into the case
closely.
Before leaving the building Mr. Morse
paid a VISIT visit to Magistrate Grape; sitting ing
the purpose Of thanking the latter for
what he had done for him. While Morse
was in the Tombs he wrote to Magistrate
Crane In regard to prisoner and asked
the Magistrate to call upon him and
discuss the case. Judge Crane called
prisoners, discharge. Since then Judge
Crane and the banker have become fast
friends. Judge Crane having frequently
repeated his call. He also spoke up in
his court one day in defence of Morse
and advocated his release on bail.

Tho District Attorney Declines to Talk

District Attorney Jerome was ono Of
the speakers at tho farewell dinner to
Samuel Gompers at the Yorkville Casino
last evening, but he was careful 10 say
nothing at which the most oaptious labor
man could take offence. About four
hundred persons we're present, the District
Attorney being at the head Of the table
beside Gompers. James O'Connell was
chairman and toastmaster and presented
to Gomper's a rabbits foot as a token OF
good luck
After speeches had been made by John
B. Lennon. treasurer of the American
Federation Of Labor Jacob A, Cantor,

peculiar position. I know what it is to
be in a job that everyone thinks he can
fill better than you, and Mr. Gompers and
myself are in the same boat. We know
how very much better any one else could
do our work than We can do 1t.
'Unless you are going to be a dead one
you will make mistakes. The dead one
ceases ma king mistakes; but think IL 10
better to risk making mistakes than be a
dead one. Mr.. Gompers has to act on in
forma ton on all sides and good deal OF

Mr. Jerome went on 10 say that he was
surprised when he considered how much
organized labor had done to raise the
standard OF living, He believed. with the
unions, that Il was their duty to prevent
such indiscriminat te immigration as would
drag down progress. He had no narrow
views on the subject and he believed that
every immigrant who believed with the
people OF America in keeping up the
standard OF progress should be welcome.

THE Moral Economy" by Ralph Bar
ton Perry. author Of THE Approach to
Philosophy is to be published soon. 1t
differs from most Of the contemporary
works on the subject Of ethics. for the
author omts all the traditional oontro-
versies and attempts to study morality
and to derive it's conceptions and laws
from an analysis OF life and from ex-
periences, leaving out scholastic techni-
calities, The subjects treated coincide
with the main divisions OF ethical inquiry
goodness. duty. virtue. progress, Gull
ture and religion.
