Dudley Field Malone's Successor.

Byron r. Newton, Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury. is to be the next
collector of the port of New York. He
succeeds Dudley Field Malone. who
offered his political head to the gull
lotine as a martyr in the suffrage
cause.
The selection Of Secretary McAdoo
and President Wilson is not surpr.s-
ing. Mr.. Newton's service in Wash
inSton was preceded by a prediction
service in 1911-12 which the President
has not forgotten; indeed. he is not
in the habit of forgetting those who
have served him. Washington will be
sorry to see Mr.. Newton 90, but will
rejoice in his advancement.
Incidentally. fhe appointment of Mr.
Newton marks another step in the
advance of the McAGoo boom for 1922,
which is still in the embryo stage, but
is none the less in definite form. Mr.
Newton may be trusted to look after
the interests of the Secretary of the
Treasury in New York. He is an
astute politician, among his other
abilities. and knows the New York
field through long intimacy as a news
paper man. He not allied with Tam
many. and at the same time is not so
strongly identified with Tammanys s
enemies as to cause offense on Four
teenth street. There is no hint of fur
thcr disintegration Of the Democratic
organization of New York in his ap-
Dointment, and he ought to be fairly
satisfactory to all the factions without
being entirely satisfactory to any of
them. He is strictly neutral on all
subjects except McAdoo
There is no doubt that BY" Newton
has his work "cut out for him.
Washington will watch his career in
the customs house with keen interest.
In the midst of war, it is doubtless
foolish to talk of politics: particularly
the politics of 1920. but there is no
doubt that certain keen minds in
Washington are thinking hard of 1870.
war or no war. And New York is
going to be a pivotal center OF politics
from this time forward: in 1918 as we'll
as 1870. The progress and the end Of
the war will profoundly affect the fu-
ture Of party government in the
United States, and the election of 1920
is going to be a milestone in the his
tory of the country.

Gompers' Address.

Evidence as to the loyal stand
of labor in this country is as con-
tinuous as it is conclusive. Samuel
Gompcrs has done more in TINS
war than merely pledge the sup
port of labor to the country. His
pledge means actual work every
minute. together with the various
officers of his organization. in the
service of patriotism.
His speech yesterday before the
delegates of the various unions Of
Federal employees was one of the
best of the many good ones he has
made since the beginning Of the
war. 1t was speech for labor.
and in it was embodied an excel
lent creed for all unions. Directed
at the Federal employees unions
its character was general enough
to apply to every branch of the
American Federation of Labor.
Federal employees once organ
lied into great and powerful
body must exercise their power
with caution and never exert its
full measure to obtain some end.
for the moment deemed expedient,"
said Mr.. Gompers. The organiza-
tion will be a great force for bet
tcrment, but this force must be
wisely used or the organization
will tumble down as the military
power of Russia has tumbled down
and as the Car has tumbled from
his throne"
1t was a message OF truth COM
