Veteran writes Of Their empty froth-
ings do nothing but make an extremely
unusual noise,
For instance, consider tho crowd of
reds" who were arrested the other day
on Third avenue. They were making their
usual noise. but as usual the police knew
what to do. and the upsettng of govern
monts stopped suddenly.
Human refuse of the red" description
is made up OF beings of no earthly use,
who take up the room and breathe the air
of human beings who are infinitely better
and above themselves, such as tramps
liars and crooks. for low as these may
be- they are not so entirely worthless as
tho reds"
Your "Old Veteran" has no, cause for
worry on the point he has written OF
There are millions OF solid. true Amerl-
cans in this country who are going quietly
about their business and who wholly and
thoroughly love the nag and all that II

Peaceful Mr.. GOmpcrs.

At the Philadelphia convention of
the American Federation Of Labor Mr.
WALTER GEORGE SMITH, representative
OF the Catholic Federation. seems To-
have stirred the bile of many delegates.
notably those of the miners unions. by
censuring the violence 10 which the
latter have resorted so often and So
memorably. Counsels Of law and order
may properly be addressed to ordinary
citizens but they are an insult to the
bellicose private warriors of Colorado
Several indignant patriots jumped NJ
to rcbuke the unworthily peaceful Mr.
SMITH. The Hon. SAMUEL GoMPERs. as
one speaking with authority. took the
floor and uttered hiS-wc hope II isn't

confession:
II believe In peace and order and
deplore violence But I feel that 1t is my
duty TO say at this time that there comes

she believes "in common sense in deal

that they shouldn't smoke; and. finally.
since the law permits inmates of re-
