Rome as early MS the year 21S
A. D., recognized a senate OF women
This senate, though, differed from most
others by combining Its considerations
and it's discussions to matters of ETH

appreciation of Elagubalus and held
it's meetings in the Quirinal. Cruelty,
extravaganza and vice were the out
standing characteristics of the reign OF
Elagubalus. Hence, the necessity OF
having conferences of the sort.

ism Force, power and perception were

nation.
AS has been said before. he was ston-
lily honest-honest with himself and
those he represented. But he always
acted with a view Of obtaining an end
and his methods indicated his firm be-
lief that II the ends to be obtained
transcended all contemporaneous mat

He possessed a native dignity and in
dress and mannerism suggested the
ecclesiastical student.
He was clear minded, naturally logi-
cal In the processes of his thought and
constructive in that he demanded. al
ways, basis on which to build. He was
not OF the sort whose sole weapon was
needless desire to inf1ame the passions
OF disgruntled workera Yet he would
not have scorned such methods had he
found them necessary. He had. how
ever, wonderful magnetism and he did
not fail to command an audience nor
quiet 1t, no matter how turbulent Il had
been previously He could sway men
when he had Gained them into reflec-
ton and thought. Therein lay John
Mitchelrs greatness, for he was truly
great in his profession
Those who called him a labor agita-
tor did so thoughtlessly. He was any
thing but an agitator. He was the most
forceful Of all his contemporaries as q
labor leader but his forcefulness was
tempered with tact and sane conserva-
tism. He openly opposed the ]. w. w.
and the Haywood type OF demagogue
and they we're bitterly his enemies. But
he won for the working man where the
radicals lost He remained power and
raised his followers with him while his
anarchistic opponents deserted their mis-
led followings to seek refuge from the
law.
During the war Mr.. Mitchell was the
chairman OF the New York State Food
Council. In this capacity he further
demonstrated his Leadership characters
