The insurgent element in The American

and is being subscribed to daily by ever in

Such rebel movements in any organization
are eventually forced to face the necessity Of
finding means to achieve unity Of action In

organization Of the insurgents in The A. f. Of
J.. for just this purpose. So far, however, this
movement is restricted largely to guerrilla act
ivity or mere assent to the correctness of its
position.
But already there is considerable thought
being given to tactics and methods Of control
Chief among these is the question regarding
the efficacy Of capturing executive office.
Some, arguing from the premise that the
structural organization is antique and inneff-
cient, claim that the first point of control
should be the legislative organs Of the trade

The executive offices in the A. F. Of L.
are vested with almost autocratic power. In
view Of the enormous and widespread Influence
Of Gompers and his crowd, it is apparent that
what restrictions there are were made to give
the offices tint of democracy
One of the principal means used by the
present leadership for retention Of control is,
a la bourgeois strict and watchful regulation
of the channel Of information and protest i. e.
control of official publications and committees.
What valuable work could be done in such
places by radical who would reverse the in
iquitous methods, used by the bureaucracy!
Many instances have come to attention
where though the left movement is not suf-
ficiently developed ito control the labor coun-
ellis, there is a possibility Of electing one Of
their number to an executive place. There
should be no hesitation in taking advantage Of
such opportunities. IF the elected can do moth
ing alse he can alt least use his influence to
expose the underhanded methods Of the so
called leaders and to make popular the ideas
for which the insurrectionists are lightning to
wit: the transformation Of the A. +. Of l.. from
loose federation of docie and conservative Craft
unions into revolutionary movement for the over

BARRING OF FALL
HALTS RECOGNITION
Taken as Evidence Order Has
Not Been. Restored in
Mexico.
Spcoiog Despatch to TIVE New York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.

Washington. u. g.. Nov. 81.
Orders issued by Roberto ". Pesquiera,
confidential agent in the United States
OF the De La Huerta Government OF
Mexico, forbiding Mexican border con-
suls TO wise the passports of Senator
Albert e. Fall OF New Mexico, and OF
Capt. Hanson, are regarded as register
ing admission of the failure of the Pes
quiera mission by Pesquiera himself
Following his appearance before the
American Petroleum Institute. where he
was vigorously used by speakers MT
Pesouiera has been awaiting an invi-
tation from the State Department to
take up the subject of recognition. That
invitation has not been forthcoming.
Mr.. Pesuuiera is anticipating the pack
ing of his grip preparatory to returning
TO Mexico following in the footsteps oil
Ignacio Calderon. whom he displaced
The issuance of the order to Mexican
Consuls to refuse admission of Senator
Fall and Capt, Hanson into Mexico, pre-
venting their presence at the Inaugural
ton of Gen. Obregon, was officially con-
firlned by the Mexican representatives
here to-day. Senator Fall is regarded.
as objectionable in Mexico because of
the part he took in reporting Mexican
conditions to the United States Senate.
Capt. Hanson was the investigator for
the Fall committee.
Tho explanation given for refusal to
admit Senator Fall is that such visit
would be fraught with grave personal
danger. Mr.. Pesuuiera recognizes the
consequences that would result from any
personal attack on United States SEN
ator, and processes to prefer accepting
the criticism that will result from re-
fusal to wise the passport rather than
take the possible chance of Senator Fan
being assassinated while in Mexico. In
spite OF this explanation it is recognized
that the manner OF refusing the wise is
SO curt as to minimize the explanation
given by Mr.. Pesquiera.
The Pesquiera decision not to admit
Senator Fall into Mexico Is regarded as
being reduced TO alternative interpreta-
tion--either Il is an affront to a Sena-
tor and hence to the United States Sen
ate as a body. or IT is an admission that
law and order have not been restored in
Mexico.

Why Old Shoes Are Thrown.

Throwing old shoes after bridal
couple dates back to the Old Tesla
ment, the Detroit News observes.
When man transferred a piece Of
property he took off his shoe and
handed it to the purchaser to seal the
bargain. In the marriage ceremony 1t
has come to mean that the parents
give up all dominion over their daugh-
ter.
In ancient times, when the young
man was unable to arrange with the
parents for the purchase of the girl,
he would run off with her and hide.
Many times he employed the help of
a trusted friend. From these incidents
comes the well-known custom of the
wedding journey Of hidden destination.
The trusted friend of long ago is the
best man Of today, who still helps
with the arrangements of the mar
riage.

DANISH DESPAIR AND DOUBT
Why II Is Foolish to Allow the Past
to Cast Any Shadow over
the Future.

Much arrant nonsense has been
written and said upon the influence Of
the past on the present. We have been
told that the past Is Nemesis ever
upon the trail Of puny man. The
first morbid threats concerning the
power Of the past was in Genesis
when the Israelites were made to
think their suffering due to the sins Of
their ancestors. All this is false and
morbid and poisonous, declares the
Rochester Post-Express. Maeterlinck
tells us that our past depends upon
our present and changes with 1t. What
the past was depends upon the way we
employ 1t today. Men and women
have behind them grim and apparent
ly hopeless pasts, but they rise upon
these things and triumph over them.
Poe thought he was a victim Of his
past and so wrote the dismal poem,
"The Raven" with its croaking "Nev-
ermore" He could have made his past
glorious by clarifying his present. But
the past was too strong for his weak
will. All he saw behind him was hideous
mistakes, and ahead more mistakes.
Other men with equally dark begin
nings have made them minister to
their present welfare.
The past Is dead, but not the wis
dom we learned from It. The faults
Of the past are with us until we rec
ognize them and correct them. We
60 ahead as we achieve wisdom out Of
the raw material of mistake. The past
is dead and beneath our feet. We can
get down in II and wallow If we want
to. Or we can step to higher things.
The real enemies Of man are despair
and doubt. Yet they are generally un-
der our feet II we will to trample
them there.

Why "long Tom" Is Honored.

Long Tom, 42-pound gun, was orig
inally French property, part of the
armament of the French line-Of-battle
ship Hoche, captured by the British In
1913 and sold to the Americans. II
was used during the French attack or
Hayti in 1904, then was dismounted
until 1872. Next it was placed on the
General Armstrong, which ran the
blockade of the British at New Or
leans, September o, 1914. This vessc
ran into the bay near Horta, Fayal
for water after an encounter with 9
British squadron, in which she wa,
rendered helpless. Long Tom wal
dismantled and lay at Fayal till II
was brought to New York on the
steamship Vega, April Is, 1893
through the efforts of Colonel Reid
the son of the commander of the Gen
eral Armstrong.
