Gompers at Faneuil Hall.

The utterances of Samuel Gdhnpers since America
entered the have been read with interest by all
classes of Americans. They have been as satisfying
to all other classes as they have been to the wage
earners whose interests Mr.. Gompers had especially
at heart in times of peace The that Amer
icas pre-eminent labor leader has shown himself an
American first an advocate of freedom and has rec
ognized the interest of all classes in the sue
cessfu prosecution of the the interdependence of
the classes and the Necessity for union of classes
and interests to attain end beneficial to all classes
and to none more than to wage earners.
Mr.. Gompers' Faneuil hall speech to a patriotic
mass meeting included declaration of principles
which he said had placed the American Federation
of Labor in the of the government of
the United States
Nothing finer has been said by or for any class Of
Americans since the war began, and nobody doubts
that the declaration of principles will be subscribed
to by the rank and file and lived UP to in a manner
that will be satisfactory the leader whose patriotic
and clearheaded utterances have been an inspiration
to others than those he addresses directly and for
whom he is guide and spokesman.
1t is not coincidence that the extremes of the
fortunes Of the working man In advanced countries
illustrated in America and Germany new opposed
in and juxtapesed fer the student of social wei
fare, America is the ceuftry in which the labor
ing man has his best opportunity to prosper as
wage Garner and to rise above the economic level of
the wage earaeF because it is aHd always has been
a free country: Germany is country in which the
iabering class is most exploited, in the matter of
prices which makes his wages mean, feF the benefit
of great industries and in the matter of euEtailmeat
of liberty AID opportunity for advancement because
Germany is country ruled by and for arstocratc
privileged class to which a workman may not rise
and with which the exploited class has nothing in
common.
is not surprising, although it is inspiring to see
in Samuel Gompers an American leader fully aware
of the good fortune Of labor in America and fully
alive to the fact that class has more at stake in
this than the American working men whose
steadfast patriotism he urges.-Louisville Courier

MOB VIOLENCE
NOT PATRIOTISM

A disloyalist or one out Of sym
patty with the war is at best pest
and an aggravation; at his worst
he may be a grave danger. Each
in the state should be Unidentified,
and, if he refuses to be converted,
should be dealt with in such a way
as to make him harmless. But none
should be illegally dealt with. Each
can be reached by the law. Public
opinion can be effective without re-
sorting to mob violence. Governor
Frank o. Lowden, speaking on this
subject, has put the issue forcefully.
He said:
Patriotism is thing of such fine
and pure material it cannot be
made the cloak for any crime. The
real patriot loves his country so
well that its fair name is dearer to
him than all else. He knows that
its authority is denied, it's honor
furnished, it's power weakened
whenever mob law rules. Our SOL
diers are engaged in the greate-t
battle of history to uphold the prin-
ciple that men are able to govern
themselves under laws which they
themselves have made. Shall we
permit this principle to fail at
home?
while defects in our laws may
provoke they do not excuse the
commission Of crime in the name
Of patriotism. The loyalty of the
citizen in this crisis is measured,
not alone by his efforts to defeat
enemy, but equally by his efforts to
maintain law and order at home"

Neurasthenin.
What our graudmothers called
nervous prostration" 10 today cali
ed neurasthenia. Neurasthenia
means literally lack of nervous
strength. It Is strictly a theoretical
conception. Nervous prostration
expresses the idea quite as well as
neurasthenia does; giving 1t q more
fashionable name doesn't make the
diagnosis any more respectable.
There is no question that John
Jones has a more stable nervous
system than John Smith. In other
words, John Jones is either built
of better material, or has given his
body better care than John Smith.
John Smith, perhaps, has been up
against more trouble, more worry
and more burdensome responsible
ties than John Jones. Jones, per-
haps, lets his business and family
cares rest while he sleeps or plays !;
whereas Smith prefers to take his
troubles to bed with him or drag
them along wien he goes a-fishfng.
In fact, Smith seldom goes a-fish-
ing. He just can't get away. Jones,
however, doesn't take life SO Sc
riously; he hasn't such a. bump of
conceit as Smith has; Jones feels
pretty sure that business affairs in
general will manage to preserve
some semblance of order even with
out the master mind, for few days
now and then.
Neurasthenia is a. compromise
with diagnostic incapacity. Not
professional incompetence, but
scientific incapacity. We haven't
the instruments of precision or the
necessary knowledge to make the
diagnosis earlier so we use a make
shift, neurasthenia. Neurasthenia
is a functional weakness; all nerve
specialists insist on that. But all
functional disease Is organic, of
course. Disease is disturbance of
function. When doctor tells a

Ned went home, his labors conclud-

The word rang out like an explo-

his desk in his brokerage Office,
sprang TO his feet, crushing In his
hand tho newspaper he had been
reading, ciapped on his hat and

stirred up and indignant individual.
For he had just come across the
item that announced his engage
ment to Miss Adrianne Percy!
Now, Harvey had met the young
lady in question that very morning,
whea he had installed her as man
ageress of the branch office in the
Central building, and it was because
he had been attracted by her that
he felt eagerly anxious to remedy
the publicity which naturally would

Another Local Hero. - Another
hero was added to Davenport's cas-
ualty list somewhere in France"
when Corporal Edwin E. Hight was
wounded while s<rving on the west
ern front, April 81. The corporaIs
sister, Mrs Mary Hilton, 1913 Ash
street, received word from the war
department Sunday of her broth
er's heroism. The message stated
he had been slightly wounded in
action" Corporal Hight, resi-
dent of Davenport for more than II
years, enlisted in the regular army
here in May, 1917. Shortly after
his training in this country he was
sent to France with his regiment.
He was promoted to corporal as a
recognition of his soldierly quail
ties while his company was train
ing in France.
Is Rearrested. = Although dis
charged by Police Magistrate Ar
thur G.. Sampson when arraigned on
a charge of intoxication, Lou Red
mOnd, teamster, was rearrested by
officer Kuehl on government war
rant as he left the court room yes
terday. He is being held for trans
porting liquor into the state. 1t is
probable that he will be arraigned
before United States Commissioner
A. G. Bush shortly. When he was
arrested early Sunday morning,
Redmond had a pint Of whisky in
his pocket. He was sent in by Off
GERS LAGRANGE and Gubser for in
yestigation. The police raided his
shanty at the foot of Taylor street
and found four and -onehalf gal
Ions of whisky. He is alleged to
have sold booze to soldiers who Wis
tied his shanty. This is the con-
tention held by the government,
and it was this fact that prompted
federal officers to ask for his re-
arrest. Although persistently ask
ed by the magistrate at his trial in
police court yesterday, Redmond
refused to say where he got the Ii
quor found in his pocket.

A HAPPY BLUNDER.

Ned Sadier, cub reporter, laid all
the blame upon his first banquet
when he discovered a hideous blum
der he had made. 1t was his mis-
sion to pick up all the stray items
of local interest he could run
across. This free lance opportunity
resulted in the accumulation of a
great bulk of patss when he came
to prepare his copy for this news
paper, sitting cut the best,
4 banquet was his last assign
ment, well ordered, decorousl hut
he was not yet used to strong Gig
airs and his head was m4daied' as he
sat down to write up his various
''steries.'
Through sems hecus-Peeus of an
added brain Ned got things woe
fully mixed. Thus. instead of an
nouncing the engagement OF Miss
Rosalie Durham and ME-. Actor Bell,
he stated that Of Miss Adrianne
Percy and Harvey Revere. Then,
to make the situation still more
complex, he manufactured an item
stating that Mr. Acton Bell. promi-
nent in Liberty bond work, had
placed Miss Resale Durham in
charge of an office in the Central
building with q corps of lady as
sistants, t9 make q bond drive"
AMONG downtown buildings.
The names he had exactly re-
versed. He had secured the real
