PERSONETTE
BY NIkSAH A Directors Meetino


 The directors of the Americai1 Le zion from all over the country have been having a meeting in the War Risk Insurance building to talk about all the things directors talk about. They meet In large room, full of shiny yellow tables and chairs and blue with cigar smoke. Into this room there blundered the other day very ineN perlenced, young and timid woman re- porter. One of the kind gentlemen gave her a chair at a long table and pile of minutes two inches thick with the suggestion that she glance through then to get the gist of the meeting and left her 10 her own despairing be- wilderment.
 It was the smoke that bothered this fair reporter. She perceived that many men were sitting around in the hard, dry, frowning, sleepy, knowing mood peculiar to men at meetings. She heard them rise. one after the other. and make complicated and formal re marks to the chairman But all these goings on were so shrouded in a mist of smoks that she felt farremovesl from them and helpless. A gentleman from colnmbis arose. giving n dinaiy WaNering impression through the haze. and announced that there was daS tardlg work afoOt to dissolve the war risk bureau. Senator Smoot no less, had declared that he wanted it aboi- ished department wholly incapable of carrying on the work. The gentle man from Columbia. one Jones by name. plead that Smoot should be thwarted. with an earnestness which caused him to culver in every limb. CT else the smoke made him seem Co quiver-the fair reporter couldn't bc sure. Then other gentlemen from other places arose and spoke through the grayness concerning other sena tors. But the lady reporter ceased 10 take notes and sank into a coma. She was aroused by a gentle touch on her arm, and turned to sec the kindly old naval captain seated next to her hold ing an unlighted cigar in his hand probably the only man in the whole room who was not holding a lighted one.

What We Want to Know

The action of the railway machinists in threaten ing Cumn1ins bill with the anti-srile clause is enacted, doubt embarrassing to con- sress, at any rate, to those of congress who doubt the wisdom of including such a clause in the bill and who would oppose it on principle who would regard it unjust legislation. to whether is unjust there may well be a difference of opinion. The strike has long been recognized as n legitimate instrument in the hands organized la bor. Without it much of it's effectiveness would be gone. But the .machinists have removed the discus sion from the question of the justice injustice of the proposed legislation.
 One form of contempt court is the discussion by newspapers of the merits of cases awaiting de- csion and expressions of opinion to the duty of the court. It is argued, and correctly, that such apt affect the of justice in one ways. if the matter is pending before a weak judge. The effect may be play upon the fears of the judge so that his decision will take the form suggested by the criticism. Or, it may awaken the urreasoning obstinacy of judge and provoke him the criticism. influence he might have rendered decision accordance with the view expressed in the criticism.
 A strong judge would of course be unaffected His decision would what he believed to be right He would ntmidated neither by the criticism nor would consider the suspicion in public mind that he had yielded intimidation
 We suppose there some congressman and some weak congressmen; that the latter nay be affected by fear of organized labor while there others of the weak contingent already op- posed to the anti-strike clause who will now favor if. be suspected that they have been intimi- dated by this threat

In. the fan of 1906, the New York elections were of national significance. The president amazed the country by throwing his influence openly for Hughes against Hearst in the contest for governor. National issues were at stake, he believed. Secretary Root was sent to Utica as spokesman of the administration in a statement at tacking Hearst and backing Hughes. This first third term talk began to be heard at this juncture. It was said that the fortunes of the Repub- hcan party and the fate of what were to become known as my policies would compel the president to recon slider his decision not to run again. The Editor.

 Our visit to Panama was most suc- cessful as well as most interesting We were there three days and we worked from morning till night.

It was just what I desired to do.
 It certainly adds to ones pleasure so have read history and to appre- ciate the picturesque. When on Wed nesday we approached the coast, and the Jungle-covered mountains looked clearer and clearer until we could see the surf beating on the shores. while there was hardly sign of human habitation, I kept thinking of the four centuries of wild and bloody romance. mixed with abject squa1or and suffer ing, which had made up the history of the 1sthmus until three years ago.

kL|NGfNSM|TH SAYS
INTERVIEW FALSE

Mount Clemens, Mich, July 2S.-A
hard blow was struck today at the
contentious OF the defense in Henry
Ford's 100000 libel suit against the
Chicago Tribune when Frank l.
klingensmith, called as a rebuttal
witness. denied in detail the alleged
interview with him which formed the
basis of the Tribune's famous edi-
torial. Ford is an anarchist"
The interview in question had been
telegraphed to the newspaper by its
Detroit correspondent in 1915. 1t
quoted klingensmith who Is vice
president of the Ford Motor Co., as
saying hal the Ford plant would not
pay the salaries of men in its employ
who Joined the national guard for
service or the Mexican border and
would not care for the dependents of
such employees. Mr.. Klingensmith
denied the statements In the alleged
interview line by line as they were
read to him by the Ford attorneys.
The defense rested its case before
noon today. An editorial published
by the Tribune on July 5, 1916. two
weeks after the publication of the one
calling Ford an anarchist. was read
into the record. 1t commended Ford
for having adopted a policy toward
employees who had enlisted In the ma
tional guard different from that which
had been announced in the interview
on which the original editorial had
been based.
The trial is now in Its twelfth week.

Representative Longworth. Re
publican. of Ohio, said in his Judg-
ment the deficit would exceed two
billion dollars, but he was for taking
off the tax on ice cream n soda
water because the women and chill
dren were to be benefited.
Declaring the Republicans got this
house under false pretenses," Repre-
sentative Wingo, Democrat. of Arkan-
sas, said the majority promised the
country 1t would repeal "a lot OF
taxes" and enact great reconstruction
legislation.
What have you done?" he asked.
