nations capital.
The White House should be absolved
from any responsibility for the men
tion of William Howard Taft in con-
nection with the Supreme Court va
cancy. Mr.. Taft wants more than
anythingelse in the world to be a
member of the Supreme court and
whenever a vacancy occurs in that
court his press agents fill the papers
with encomiums and kind words about
his judicial qualifications. AS mat
ter of fact, in the opinion of some of
the presidents closest advisers, Mr.
Taft is not sufficiently enlightened as
to modern economic problems to be
qualified for position on this court.
The movement to secure a tariff
commission recalls the fact that there
was a tariff~board in 1911 and 1912,
created by the PayneAldrich law,
which made certain Investigations and
recommendations to Congress during
itseXistence. These recommendations
were for the most part studiously dis
regarded by Congress in the bills
passed and vetoed by President Taft.
Congress never has been willing to
surrender to any tariff board author
ity to determine tariff schedules.

Notes from the Capital.
By ellison Gardner.

Representative Howard of Georgia
has written his name high in the hall
Of fame. Although representing a
Southern cotton mill state he has
dared in the House openly and vigor-
ously to champion federal regulation
of child labor His position has brought
out in violent contrast that of Webb
of North arolina, chairman of the ju-
dietary committee, and Brynes of
South arolina, both of whom have
urged the inalienable right of mill
owners to exploit little chilrden and
the equally inalienable right of little
children to drudge in ignorance and
poverty.
Al recent session of the Civic
Federation Mrs Archibald Hopkins re-
ported that $4,000 has been raised for
the Ellen Wilson Memorial Home, and
that paid solicitor has been engaged
to carry on the work. The ultimate
purpose is to raise approximately
100000 to provide decent houses for
present alley dwellers. The project is
the outgrowth of the great interest
taken by President Wilson's first wife

WASHINGTON. August 1i.--In the
course of n speech in the Senate this
afternoon Senator Sherman, OF Illinois.
made bitter attack on Samuel
Gompers. president Of the American

Samuel Gompers has shown in his

liver the organized labor vote Of this
country" declared Mr. Sherman. "I do
not believe this man is capable OF so
controlling the members OF organized
labor.
The rule Of Gompers as president OF
the federation has been tyrannical and
arbitrary. He has issued his cdicts
against public men and attempted to
drive them from public Office because
they would not follow his dictation.
AS the would-bc censor Of others
political opinions. he ought TO he
thankful that he was not indicted with
the Indianapolis dynamiters. because
he issued statement that they were
innocent and had been prosecuted by

was hardly dry before the McNamaras
pleaded guilty to the crime and were
sent to the nentcntiary. Samuel
