LA TOILETTE ADDRESSES A. F,
OF L. CONVENTION
Wisconsin Senator Receives Enthusi-
astic Ovation When introduced
by President Gompers
Especial to Newark Leader.)

Cincinnati, Ohio-While men and
women stood and cheere3 and waved
hats and handkerchiefs and cheered
again and roared their welcome and
their tribute, a little man, gray of
hair, smiling of face, stood and bowed
in acknowledgment before the con-
vention of the American Federation
OF Labor here today.
The little man of the gray pompa-
oour was United States Senate. Ro-
bert M. Fighting Bob
O. Wisconsin.
J. esident Gompers, himself about
the heighth of the fighting Senator,
himself a fighting man grown gray
in the service, his face also alight
with smiles, waited for the annlause
to cease before presenting the Sen
ator to an audience which required no
introduction of the guest Of honor.
When President Golnpers began his
introduction there was renewed ap-
plause. When he presented the Sen
ator as the tribune of the people
the great armory reye beratod with
the thunderous acclaim
1t was great day. The voice that
spoke for Freedom was not one to be
forgotten. It's echoes must have been
heard in Washington. Perhaps even
the justices of the Supreme Court
heard the resounding cheers for the
fighting Senator, and perhaps the
Kisses which greeted the first mention
of Chief Justice William H. Taft. For
there were Kisses for the chief justice
loud and sibilant.
Here is how President Gompers
presented the senator:
81 don't know that any other man
has designated our honored guest as |
desire to designate hime here and
now. A great Englishman saved the
lives of thousands and thousands of
men who went to the sea in ships and
earned their living in their profession,
saved the lives of unnumbered people
from a watery grave by establishing
the life line of cargoes if ships. Aye,
Plinsoll of ngland-LaFollette the
Plinsoll of America. Foremost in
every piece of legislation and the
earnest advocate of administrative
fairness, | present to you the tribune
of the American people, the honorable
Robert M. LaFollette, United States
Senator from Wisconsin"
LaFollette paid splendid tribute
to Andrew Furuseth and launched into
a searching, analytical attack upon
the supreme court.
Today" he said, "the actual ruler
of the American people is the supreme
court of the United States"
Abiding to Chief Justice Taft, the
Senator said: "No one will contend
that he could have been elected chief
justice by vote of the people"
The two hour address was concluded
by proposal of a constitutional amend
ment to provide as follows:
Q That no inferior federal judge
shall set aside a law of congress on
the ground that it is unconstitutional;
"(2) That if the Supreme Court as
sumes to decide any law of congress
unconstitutional, or by Interpretation
undertakes to assert a public policy
at variance with the statutory de-
claration of congress, which alone un-
der our system is authorized to deter
mine the public policies of government,
the Congress may by re-passing the
law nullify the action of the court"
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1922-06-23
"CHILD CONSERVATION"

Hiram Johnson of California, offers
a constitutional amendment that will
enable Congress to control child labor
in the United States. A country that
can protect black people from bodily
slavery should have power to protect
white children from industrial slavery.
If an amendment is necessary it ought
to come at once.
To protect children from exploita-
ton that dwarfs the next generation
is at least as important as protecting
men from alcohol.

Scabs Imported in Violation of Law

Weed, Cal.-William H. Urmy,

being imported from Sacramento, and
the Sacramento Federated Labor
council made the charges which sent
Urmy to Weed to investigate.

EDGAR SAYS HE'S TIRED
Of PLAYING IN OUTF|EL0

James A. Edgar, candidate for
surrogate on the Republican ticket
was in this city yesterday doing
some personal work in the interest
of his election. Mr.. Edgar bases his
claim for election on the fact that
in his two a of service as assem-
blyman, he gave unsparingly of his
time and energy in the interests or
his constituents. 1t was through Mr.
Edgar's efforts that the bill legal
izing the election of the Board OF
Freeholders of MiddleseX county in
1917 was passed.
Mr.. Edgar said today in speaking
of the election and the other can
didates on the ticket. that he lken-
ed the election to a baseball game,
claiming that both William A. Spen-
Ger and Charles Forman had been
at the bat and struck out and now
he thought it was his turn at the
bat instead of continually playing
in the outfield.
If elected, Mr.. Edgar stated, he
will conduct the office along the line
so successfully followed by the late
Surrogate Daniel w. Clayton. For
over eighteen years Mr.. Edgar has
been in the real estate and insurance
business in Highland Park and is a
director and secretary of the High
land Park Building and Loan Asso-
citation.

| Madame de Sevenie would never for
give herself if the hospitality of the
Chateau de Montalais failed at such
a time. She would send servants to
the car at once with lights, wraps,
I'M brellas -.
There was no necessity for that.
The remainder of the party had, 1t
seemed. presumed upon her courtesy
in anticipation, and was not far from,
the heels of its ambassador. Even
while madame vas speaking, Jean
was opening the great front doors
to those who proved-formal intro
auctions being duly effected by Mr..
Fhinuit-to be Madame la Comtesse
de Lorgnes, monsieur lie comte, her
husband (this was the well-fed body
in " eeds) and Mr.. Whitaker Monk,
of New York.
These personages were really not
at all in a bad way. When Eve de
! Montalais had carried madame ia
comtesse off to her own apartment
to change her shoes and stockings,
the gentlemen trooped to the draw
ing room fire. and grew quite cheer
fu. under the combined influence of
warmth and wine and biscuits.
MIR. Whitaker Monk might have
been any age between thirty-ive and
tifty-five. so non-comnlittal was that
lantern jawed c~ountenance of a droll
with its heavy, black, eloquent eye
brows, it's rather small, blue, illegib!e
eyes it's high bridged nose and
prominent nostrils, its wide and thin
Tipped mouth. its rather startling
ral.or.
A chance meeting at Monte Carlo,
! -, -a,1 .,.;4l, III old fxinyI- fl,e.
Con.te ct Comtesse de Lorgnes, had
resulted in their yielding to his in
sistence that they tour with him
back to Paris by this roundabout
way.
"A whim of my age. madame. AS
a young man | explored this country
on a walking tour, inspired by
Stevenson. You know, perhaps, his
dlverting Travels with a Donkey'?'
How strange, then, is coinci-
Gence,' Madame de Sevenie suggest
ed You who made a walking tour
of this country so long ago. mou-
sicur, regard there hat good
Monsieur Duchemin, himself en-
] gagged upon just such an undertake
ing"
But is there anything more won
derful than the workings of the good
God?" madame pursued. "Observe
| that had it not been for Monsieur
Duchemin, we should all, l, my
daughter, my granddaughter, even
poor Georges d'Aubrac, be lying dead
at NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Natural the strangers required
to know about that, and Madame de
Sevenie would talk, in fact dotted on
telling the tale of that great adven-
ture. Duchemin made a face OF
resignation, and heard himself ex-
tolled as a paladin for strength, ad-
dress and valor.
Now the enigmatic eyes of Monk
were boring into him, seeking to
search his soul, with a question In
their stare which he could not read
and, quite likely, would have de-
clined to answer if he could. Also the
| eyes of Monsieur lie Comte de
Lcrgnes were very round and con
slant to him. And before Madame
de Sevenie was finished, Phinu!t
strolled in and heard enough tc

collector of objects dart, especially
of fine painting, in Paris, for years
before the war - this Monsieur
Michael Lanyard. Then he disap-
peared. 1t was rumored that he was
OF good service to the allies as d
spy, acting Independently: and after
the armistice, l have heard. he did
well for England in the matter of a
Bolshevist conspiracy over there
But not long ago, according to my
information, Monsieur Lone Wolf re-
! signed from the British Secret Ser
vice and returned to France-doubt-
less to resume his old practices"
Perhaps not" Duchemin suggest
ed. Possibly his reformation was
genuine and lasting"
The Comtesse de Lorgnes laughed
that laugh of light derision which is
almost exclusively the laugh of the
Parisienne of a certain class. Re-
marking this, Duchemin eyed her
mildly.
AT all events" Phinuit put in
promptly, Il know what l would do
