TFAsOME day a 1919 summer model
Of the Soviet should stray into the
hands of the American Federation of
Labor with Samuel Gompers sitting in
his customary and executive seat, it
strains the imagination to picture the
fate of even the least sovy of sovicts.
Two words there are that teen with
challenge for Mr.. Gompers: one is
Soviet, the other Bolshcviki.
When the American Federation of
Labor went into session last week at
Atlantic City it lost no time in putting
itself on record as anti Bolshevik, anti
radical, anti-Sovict, etc.
One wonders how much of the viril-
ity of the A. F. of l.. may be attributed
to the vIriity of it's veteran leader.
Mr.. Gompers has been at the head of
American labor for years and, often
placed in an extremely delicate posi-
ton, he has acquitted himself adj
mirably.
Recently he came out for light wines
and beers, and recently, too, he was
pretty we'll banged up in Broadway
taxicab accident; these two facts be-
ing in nowise associated with each
other.
The critical look which Mr.. Gompers
sometimes assumes in his photographs
is an unwritten if mild pictorial
eptome of his opinion of bcwhiskercd>
Bolshcviki; or, for that matter. one.
even, who is acquainted with the uses
of safety razor, if there are any such.

Albert Laurens Fisher; Mr.
Fisher, meet the City of Washington
We may assume that this introduce
ton, or it's equivalent, will take place
if the English Minister of Education
is appointed British Ambassador to
America, as now seems probable.
Mr.. Fisher was born in London on
March 81, 1865. He received his edu-
cation at New College, Oxford, and in
Paris and Gottingcn. He was Low
ell lecturer at Harvard University in
1909, and a member of the Royal Com
mission on the Public Services of In
dia from 1912 to 1915.
In 1915 he was appointed member
of the Government Committee on AL
legged German Outrages. In 1916 he
was made president of the Board of
Education, and was given the port
folio of the Ministry of Education Jan
uary 10, 1919, when Premier LLOYD
George reorganized his Cabinet.

that the Senate was "going to have
a row.:
Mr.. POlNDEXTER-I would like to
suggest to the Senator from Oregon
(Mr. Chamberlain) that my observation
is that the Senators who are most for
ward IN making imputations that other
Senators arc instigated by German
propaganda are the same Senators who
when the United States was actually
at war with Germany were the last ones
to support active war measures, One
Of them in particular, | remember, in

embargo upon shipments Of ammuni-
ton to those great nations that were
fighting Germany and that aftorward
became our allies in this war. Those
who attempted to favor Germany in
this war are the ones who now are so
forward in charging other Senators
with being Influenced by Germany.
The VICE-PRESIDENTu The Chair

going beyond the rule.
Mr.. BRANDEGEE- When | yielded, I

Mr.. BRANDEGEE l did not intend

which is as follows:

In choosing a jury for his trial Dr.
Wilkins has indicated that he prefers

is a changed man since his arrest and

visible changes is shift from the

medium, has big feet and nervous
hands. He is sixty years old He is
careful Of his dress, and at the time
of the murder wore a brown derby.
This derby, he said, saved his own
life, for the effect of the blow struck
at him was minimized by his bowler.
And yet there is prejudice in some
quarters against a brown derby.
