The Craze for Jazz

Boruh at His Best
(From the New York Tribune).

anchor cast to windward? Is a
bonus fair. practicable and eeonomi-
cally justifiable at this timer
Mr. Borah believes that II Is not.
Those who have studied most care
fully its probable effects on the busi-
ness and financial establishments
which are still in progress believe
that It is not. Every group Of tax
payers is reluctant to shoulder the
costs OF bonus. And the disabled
soldiers haven't been sufficiently
taken care of yet.
The Idaho Senator has elected to
follow what he considers the right
eous and patriotic course. He is not
to be driven from It by threats Of
political vengeance. In this he does
only what Senators OF tried moral
courage have generally done. He
would rather run the risk Of losing
his seat than bid for reelection by
participating in what he considers
a raid on the Treasury.
Mr. Borah is often headstrong and
extreme in his opinions. But he
clfngs TO them and fights for them.
His strength with the country lies in
the fact that he jealousy exalts his
office and doesn't shrink from his
ideals and responsibilities as Sen
ator. The bonus agitation would
not have made such Roadway II
there were more men in Congress
like him.

Senator Borah was at his best
when he told the American Legion
post OF Pocatello that he would not
support a bonus bill, because, not
believing in a bonus he would by
favoring il. simply be using the
people to buy somebody's vote" The
Idaho Senator puts above local
fence mending" his obligation to
the peope as a whole and to the
country. This is an attitude which
any Senator mindful of the Senate's
best traditions is bound to take.
The question for him to meet Is
not whether supporting a bonus bill
is an easy means of placating an or
ganized special interest. but whether,
considering the present condition OF
the Treasury, the objections to added
taxation and the prior claims Of the
disabled soldiers. It is defensible
from the point OF view of national
policy and beneficial TO the people as
a whole.
The performances OF the House
leaders destroyed all confidence In
their sincerity The House itself
laughed when some one suggested in
debate that there was Interior po-
litical motive behind the so-called
'pawnbroker'' measure. The same
suspicion attaches to the zeal shown
by many Senators for the bonus
project. Are they backing the bill
on Its merits or as an electioneening

THE ruMurry-wInsoN SCRAP.

~rArt1R ALLY the friends of Joseph p. Tumulty are
in vratbv over the manner in which former Presi-
dent Wilson repudiated the message which Tumulty
took 10 New York TO the Jefferson Day BAN
Duet as coming from Wilson. While from one view
point there is little be said in defense Of Tumuty's
action in submitting written which Wilson
never authorized yet Tumuty have some
reason for grievance he probably did in this
instance precisely what had done in effect in numer-
ous other instances without any objection from his
chief It had been announced that Wilson would keep
in touch with public affairs Tumulty and others
have endeavored to help keep up the appearance OF
fulhment of the promise. The Jefferson Day banquet
was an important event in Democratic circles and II
there we're no word from Wilson, It would be made to
appear that the former President had dropped out,
either from III health or lack of interest. Tumulty was
doing an act Of close friendship he had talk
with Wilson and translated the talk into message.
But even II Tumuty did take undue liberties. the
friends of private secretary right in say
ing that message he wrote entirely harmless 1t
read follows;
"say TO the Democrats of New York that ready
to support any man stands for the salvation OF
America the salvation of America is justice to all
classes"
Now what offense is there in that? It is com
monplace message-taies no new startling position
on any question and be interpreted TO mean any
thing you It 1t is true that It is some-
what in conflict with the Wilson dicum that the United
States must make the supreme sacrifice" yet Mr.
Tumulty may thought that according to the VIII
son idea salvation through sacrifice.
But whether the message meaningless on the one
hand or contradictory the other, It ought not to
have afforded ground for ofense the part OF Mr.
Wilson In his days political activity he wrote many
things that were neaningless-thet could be inter-
preted to mean almost anything-and he frequently
wrote messages that contradicted things he had said
before. BY making the vague and indefinite IN
its wording or contradictory OF former statements MI
rumuy had the best chance of making the people ae-
cept It as truly wsonlan. II had about the same de-
gree OF sense to Wilson's reference to voices IN
the air" and It was no contradictory than VIII
sons reputation OF his TOO proud to fight speech
We hold no brief Mr.. Tumulty. In view OF his
prominent part eight years OF Democratic admnstra-
ton he is perfectly capable of defending himself In
behalf OF Tumultys friends, who may not be able 10
express their resentment through the columns OF
Democratic paper, we forth these comments upon
various phases tempest stirred up by the Tumuty
message and the Wilson reputation.
1t might be pertinent to remark that II Joseph p
has the sting Of ngraude he has suffered more

Conlpers on BrindeHism
(From the New York Herald }.

For man whose years and exper-
fence should have fitted him for
wisdom Samuel Gompers has a sing
ular tendency toward ineptitude
when discussing the rights and
wrongs OF organized labor.
The latest vagary OF the president
of the American Federation Of Labor
is to lay all the evils OF labor cor
ruption at the door of Sam Parks
and his contemporaries. This was
revealed in his examination by Mr..
Untermyer at a session of the Lock
wood housing committee.
According to Mr., Gompers the
Chicago contractors led Parks astray
by having him made a business
agent. They "1aid hundred dollar
bills" before this poor devil who
had never seen a ten dollar bill IN
ALI his life" Thus began the brib-
ing of labor leaders by contractors
and. as Mr.. Gompers says, the sys-
TEN grew up
The public is left to assume that
once Parks opened the door 10
blackmal 1t was impossible for the
honest men in organized labor TO
close IT. And Mr.. Gompers brings
the theory right down to date by
stating his belief that what was true
90 parks in the matter of tempta-
ZION was true also Of Brindell. "The
system grew up" says Gompers OF

Brindell, land he learned II very
quickly"
II Mr.. Gompers were the attorney
for a murderer would he go into
court and plead that Cain, who es-
tablished the first precedent, was to
blame for his clients crime?
Would Mr.. Gompers say that be-
cause somebody had devised sys-
tenn for breaking the Ten Com
mandments 1t was too much to ex-
pect other persons not to take ad-
vantage of the system?
Mr.. Gompers declares that the
remedy for labor evils is not legal
regulation but patience. This Is
very patient country. 1t waited
long time before it went at Brindel-
ism. II Mr.. Gompers had been the
cause of sending Brindell to prison,
il Mr.. Gompers would denounce
Brindell and those unions which
stick to Brindell in spite Of his
shame, then there would be more
patience with the president of the
American Federation when he
pleads for patience.
But all Samuel Gompers does Is
to excuse what he cannot defend and
ought 10 denounce. Surely in his
heart Mr.. Gompers does not absolve
a CRATER like Brindell. He merely
lacks the courage to speak his mind.
