A Mistake Wilson Regrets.

Wherever the socialistic suggestion
of Frank p. Walsh that all inherited
estates over a million dollars be con-
fiscated by the Government is dis
cussed. the question Is asked: Who
foisted the erratic chairman OF the
Industrial Relations Commission on
President Wilson, Most persons. OF
course. are aware that the President
is thoroughly displeased with Walsh
and his recommendations, realizing
that the usefulness Of the commission
has been destroyed. But there has been
wonderment everywhere as to whence
and how Walsh came to be appointed.
This is the answer: Walsh was law
yer of Kansas city. Missouri. He was
Democrat, but always played an in
dependent part in city elections Even
his friends could never tell where his
logic would lead him. He became as
ISOLATED with the Hearst Independent
Party movement. Later on. when Will
sons was nominated for President
Walsh appeared at Democratic head
quarters in New York and was given
a desk in a room by himself 1t was
understood that he was organizing the
social settlements for Wilson. None
of the regular managers or workers
at headquarters knew much about him
or his work. Mrs. J. Borden Harri-
man was at headquarters. After Pres
ident Wilson was inaugurated. he be-
gan to select the members OF the In
dustrial Relations Commission. His
first selection was Walsh. He made
this selection on his own initiative. No
member of the Senate or House.

ONE MAN AT LEAST NOT
IN FOR ALL HE CAN GET

Philadelphia. Sept. l7.,--City Solici :
tor Ryan broke a municipal precedent
today by refusing to accept $4,000 in
fees to which he was legally entitled
by the decision of the Supreme Court
These are known as docket fees"
and are allowed to the city solicitor in
certain cases.
The Supreme Court in the case of
the city of Pittsburg against the city
solicitor of Pittshurg. ruled that the
so-called docket fees" belong to the
law officer and not TO the city. In
spite OF this decision. which is held as
clearly giving to Mr.. Ryan the right
to tne fees, he has refused to take
them.
He explained that since he got
$40, 900 a year salary, he had not the
moral right to take the fees.
