10 Third Party for Labor.

~ ONSCIOUS OF the fact, no doubt, that
~ organized labor can achieve little by the
roation of q party under its own banner and
mindful Of the fate OF all middie-of-the-road
political organizations. tho American Fed
Grafton OF Labor has set itself against the
nonpartisan campaign committee, which will
work within the existing parties for the
rights of labor and for the principles upon
which workingmen rest their cause.
In taking this step the American Fedora
ton shows sound judgment. In the first
place, it challenges the radical influences
which have undertaken to usurp control Of
labor organizations in this country, to weld
them into a revolutionary mass and to force
them into an alliance with either the mild
or the untamed Bolshevism which has spread
to America
In the next place, the moro conservative
labor leaders have shown understanding
of domestic politics which the imported agi-
tators have never acquired. To begin with.
American labor is as much part and parcel
OF American citizenship generally ns any
other class 1t is not an element apart. It
is not solidihed association Of toilers ar
rayed against solicited wealth. The labor
ing man in this country Is as independent
in his politics is the employer. and has
maintained that independence throughout all
the struggle of labor to improve its condition.
In other words. labor, as body, cannot
be delivered. 1t cannot be led or driven
into separate party any more than it can
be led OF driven into support OF Repub-
lican ticket a Democratic ticket Men
who work by their hands divide on political
lines in the exact same manner that men
who work with their heads divide. This
has been true throughout all the history Of
the republic, and it is true now.
There have been candidates for the presi-
dency who have pledged themselves to the
cause OF labor and have received the support
OF the greater part of workingmen. But no
candidate has ever been the unanimous
choice Of all laboring men and none prob
ably will be. If labor should nominate a
candidate of its own choosing there would
be tens OF thousands Of Democratic work
ingmen who would vote against him and tens
OF thousands OF Republican workingmen who
would do the same thing.
Organized labor will he more potential
factor in politics il it maintains nonparti-
san attitude; il it reserves to itself the right
to so with that party which offers it more
aid and comfort and to fight that party which
is less sympathetic. If labor should under
take party organization OF its own; should
go before the people upon its own platform
and become the exponent OF single interest
and single class. it would invite the COM
bined opposition Of all men outside its ranks.
Such a move would be direct challenge to
every other class to fight it to a finish.
few misguided labor leaders may per-
sist in their plan to create Labor party
in America along the general lines Of that
in England, but their effort is preordained
TO failure il the American Federation stands
against the new organization. It would ac-
complish very little even with the federation
in line.

The Presidents Condition

mr.. HUGH H. YOUNG, OF Baltimore one
- of the specialists who was called into
consultation by DR.. Cary T.. Grayson when
the Presidents illness became complicated by
reason Of prostate troubles, has given out
reassuring statement regarding the slow,
but encouraging improvement OF the distin-
suished patient. incidentally, he has made
public for the first time the exact diagnosis
OF case which has been matter OF mys-
terry to the general public, matter OF
speculation all over the country and n mat
ter of much unfair comment.
In October last, We diagnosed the Presi-
dents illness cerebral thrombosis" Dr.
Young says, which affected his left arm and
Leg but at no time was his brain power or
the extreme lucidity OF his mental processes
in the slightest degree abated.' BY cerebral
thrombosis, 1t is explained, a blood clot
formed, which might have been even more
serious or even fatal, if it had not passed.
through brain cells. As 1t was, it resulted
i'll what is generally understood to be stroke
or paralysis. the recovery from which is
necessarily slow and sometimes discouraging
After referring to the technical phases of
the case, DR.. Young says that upon his most
recent examination OF the President lie found
him to be much stronger; to be able to use
his arm and leg with degree OF utility and
that organcaly the patient is absolutely
sound Tho prostate disorder which dis
turbcd the attending physicians for time
further difficulty is anticipated from that
cause.
All this is gratifying to the Presidents
fellow countrymen, but many Of his adj
mirers will feel regret that his physicians
found 1t necessary to wait for more than four
months to disclose the exact nature OF their
patients illness. Much OF the distressing
speculation which has been INDUCED in on
every side might have been avoided by a
frank statement OF the case at the begin.
ming. IT must be assumed that those closest
TO the President allowed their anxiety over
his condition to overcome their better judg-
mcnt in this regard.
However, the country feels relief 10 know
That the President is in fair way to re-
cover his health; that he is gaining weight.
gaining strength daily, and that only the
state OF the weather has prevented him from
| showing himself in public. This is the word
which DR.. Young brings from the sick room,
anu because OF the candor with which the
physician discusses the case generally, what
| he says about the improvement he has noted
must be taken at full face value
