Another cOmper's Folly

MT. Samuel Gompers is a bad strategist Other wise he would have introduced the subject of the Boston poiicemen's strike, in attack by him last Friday on Governor Coolidge. That affair was long ago settled the great advantage of Governor Coolidge. But for the part played in that there would been nothing to lift him of the ruck of American governors; nothing to distinguish him from the other forty-seven governors. But the emergency arose; he met it courageously that he was recognized as a of national size, seriously considered candidate for the pres idency. he is the Republican candidate for president
 President Wilson. himself. among the first to congratulate Governor Coolidge the aertness with which he moved in defense of law and order. The governors prompt action infused courage into the hearts of many tmid governors and of mayors of cities where situations developing similar the Boston revolt. and which if it had succeeded. would have been followed by many othexs, probably in every large city in the country
 Governor Coolidge did not temporize and he re- fused to compromise with or recognize the striking policemen. laid down the doctrine that the first duty of in public employment was to the public and not to any organization He made that doctrine ! stick.
 If that revolt had occurred in any city outside of Massachusetts the result would have been doubt full. for many governors cowardly and fearful of great private organizations
 MT. Gompers had encouraged the Boston outrage and after 1t was put down, he and others like him appealed to organize labor and to the voters of Massachusetts to punish Governor Coolidge Yet, at the election that fa the governor was by largely increased majority. We supposed that Mir Gompers might learn something from that cleo ton refrain bringing to attention of the people again the very thing that made Governor Coolidge unbeatable
 Mir. Gompers is a very old man. too old. we fear. to with capacity in the position he so long held-the dictatorship of organized labor.

 Mir. Parker was on the job throughout the erection of the building.

Presidential Campaigns

government was in control of the Democrats. that party having the pres ident and majority in both houses of congress. Mir. Cleveland called con- gross together and urged the repeal of the silver purchasing clause of the sherman act. which would finally "demonetize" silver. His party did not agree with him on that subject, and it was with the greatest difficulty that his purpose was accomplished.
 President Cleveland had been an ex- emplar of civil service reform and was opposed to "pernicious activity in politics, but he went to the extreme of the use of patronage as a club to drive the repeal bill through congress. Even then. it was done only by the help of eastern Republican votes. 1t left his party hopelessly divided.
 The Democratic landslide which rey elected Cleveland was the result of popular disapproval of the Mckinley tariff bill of 1890. After the terrific fight on the silver purchasing clause repeal the Democratic congress en- deavored to enact a Democratic tariff bill. The party was already torn asunder and could act with no unani- mity. The result was the passage oi the Wilson bill, which Mir. Cleveland permitted to become a law without his signature.
 As the people had condemned tn, Mckinley bill six months after it wa: passed and before its effect could pos sibly have been felt, by the election O the Democratic house in 1890, so thu Wilson bill, charged with responsibilit. for panic which was on before thu ! bill was written. resulted in the over whelming Republican congressiona victory of 1894.

DO YOU LOVE TREES? By pr. James |. Vance
What a wonderful thing a tree is!

What wonderful thing a tree is!
 Think of how a tree comes into being. One day tiny seed falls into the lap of mother earth. Rest ing it's tired cheek her warm breast it falls been wrought the door of destiny has swung wide. and the world of light and sunshine and song is calling.
 Think of how a tree grows With infallible in- stnct it feels out and finds what it needs It gathers food from the soil. It draws sustenance from the rocks. It drinks from stream and sky It captures and imprisons the sunshine until its garments storm and bushes under the gaze the ardent Through all this it grows tall strong and lusty spreading it's branches to bless the earth, and lifting its head to salute the heavens.
 Think of how tree serves The birds and build their nests in its boughs. Any bird that to may come. for the gospel of the tree is: whoso will may come" The beasts of the field, the town come to rest in its shade. And when its fruit to luscious ripeness. it says Take eat" and if you will not take it will of its accord drop its bounty into your hand. for the lives serve
 Think of how tree suffers It bares its head to the tempest It is exposed to the ice and snow. It is assaled by the stormwind, and it's bruises and broken branches bleed Then when the woodman drives the keen edge of his into heart, the tree gives it's life to feed his fire
 Think of how responsive tree is. Nothing leaves it the same. It responds to the changing seasons. It stores up itself the every experience and draws circle around its heart for each year it lives It carries to its grave the kiss of every sunbeam. the baptism of every raindrop. the caress of every kind, the blow of every thunderbot
 Think of how tree binds the world together. Successive generations have had the same tree for a friend.
 Yes. a tree is wonderful. There is something wrong with YOU fl yog ds not love trees
