NOT IN ITSELF UNLAWFUL"

lCAMUEL GoMPERs at last has given us some spool
- ncations which he proposes to mpeach At
torney General Daugherty. In speech before the
Central Labor Union in Washington, the labor leader
charged that Mr.. Daugherty had 'wantony violated"
the law and should be removed from Office. The par
ticular law that Mr. Gompers mind pro-
that has been carried in the annual appropra-
ton bill for the Department OF Justice for years.

In stating the labor auocra tells only half
truth and tells in way meant to convince Della
and others that the Attorney General has in
fact directly contrary the clear mandate of the
statute The law in question has very important bear
ing on legal status of labor organizations. and In
order that may be no Misrepresentation as to its
meaning It is here quoted in full;
NO part of this money (for the enforcement OF the
antitrust iaws) shall spent in the prosecution OF
any organization Individual for entering into any
combination agreement having in view the increas

thereof NOT IN ITSELF UNLAWFUL"
The crux of the matter. not mentioned by Gompers
at ALL is in the concluding words, mot in itself un-

safe 10 say that Congress would have consented
10 write such an exemption into the laws Apparently

under his direction perfectly lawful provided 1t aims
to better the condition OF labor.

attempting to upon the Republican party respon-
sibity for the destructive method of dehaon brought
upon the country in 1920.
In a recent address, Senator owen, of Oklahoma, ex-
nressly charged that Republicans were responsible FOR
the tremendous losses country suffered in the de-
aaton process He evidently had forgotten a state
ment made by him in the summer of 1920 and submit
ted to the Chamber of Commerce of Tulsa, Oklahoma
in which he said:

opinion OF America for the purpose OF giving stability

Record Made by Congress
(From the Omaha Bee) .

A determined effort already is
being made by the Democrats to
reduce II not wipe out the present
Republican majority in Congress.
To achieve this, the record of Con-
gress is being attacked, not by de-
rect methods, but by inuendo. half
truths, and Misrepresentation in
tended to deceive those who have
not time to fully examine into the
record.
Republicans can we'll afford TO
stand by what Congress actually
did do. First OF its recommendations
Is that It passed no sectional or
class legislation.
Taxes are reduced by more than
sS1S, 1000. most of which burden
is lifted from the backs of house
holders and heads of families.
Appropriations were cut nearly
s4o0,oo0.0oo below economical esti-
mates presented by the budget d.
rector.
Agriculture and its allied indus
tries were revived, through the re-
establishment OF a credit system
that provided capital for carrying
on the business OF the farmer and
stock raiser.
A tariff measure was enacted,
under which American industry will
be protected and American interests
fostered.
Alongside those outstanding
achievements may be placed laws
Evening journal. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1888-1932, 1922-10-10

for the restriction of immigration,
designed to relieve the unemploy-
ment that prevailed when the Re-
publicans went into office; the law
to aid maternity and protect moth
ers; the law regulating packers and
grain dealers, designed for benefit
Of farmers; laws TO extend the oper-
alton OF the federal land banks, and
other great measures for the general
good.
Five million men walked the
streets jobless when the Congress
was convened; now industry is re-
viving, unemployment is almost
banished, and the downward course
of wages is checked. Congress found
the nations credit impaired, to the
extent of discount on its bonds;
now Liberty bonds and Victory notes
are at par or better. 1t found a
state of war existing between the
United States and European coun-
tries; peace has been concluded and
friendly relations restored.
Summing up, the "do-nothing
congress. of which so much COM
plant is made because it did not
adopt recommendation made by the
complainers. has restored peace, re-
vived industry, reduced taxes, cut
down governmental expenditures,
relieved distress. and provided care
fully for the present and immediate
future needs Of the people. It may
we'll rest on that record. and challenge
democratic attacks in confidence.

Wisdom of Governments
Course Is Proved
(From the Washington Post)

Those who are vociferously urg-
Ing. the Washington government to
intervene in the Near East should
read the tangled story of the Mu-
dania negotiations and revise their
estimate of It's policy upward--if
they would have their verdict square
with reason and justice. While the
snarls in those proceedings make
1T difficult for observers TO forecast
the next development. they make It
easy for analysts TO realize the wis
dom OF the present administration
stand relative to the Turkish situa-
ton.
Talk of Americas participation in
that imbroglio may be cheap, when
INDUCED IN as a means, of express
Ing sympathy with Christian min
critics reported to be imperlled by
developments in the Near East; but
il would prove prohibitively expen-
sive II II should lead this nation into
such complication. With the "angel
of discord" and the "angel of con-
cord" battling in the allied camp,
Americas entrance into the mud
die would promise nothing-except
trouble. For, obviously. It could
not solve the problem for the allied
powers that they themselves can
not solve.
The glibness with which intsrven-
tion enthusiasts speak of the Wash
ington governments duty to carry
to more positive lengths
reveals ignorance of the problem
that disqualifes them as fair critics.
In the same breath with which they
talk of Americas participation in
the Near East they vociferate their
demands for protection of racial and
religious minorities in Turkey. and
some of them protest against the
return of the Turk to Europe. The
Implication Is that America should
Intervene and effect such protection
of minorities and exclusion of the
Ottoman empire. But how7 As to
this the adverse critics of the ad-
for its failure to adopt
their program are silent. Presum-
ably. they expect this government
to accomplish all that they are
clamoring for by mere Intervention. |
But the realities OF the situation |
over there" emphasize the folly Of
such expectation.

Americas participation |
along the lines urged by the pro-in-
element would inevitably |
aggravate the situation. Protection
Of racial and religious minorities is

MIR. GARRISON FoRGETs.

From the st. Louis Times.
Mr.. Lindley NJ. Garrison, former
Secretary of War. who now says the
old political parties are to pass away
because of a new alignment Of con-
sarvatives as opposed to radicals,
seems to forget that these two
classes in our politics are not new
Inventions.
Conservatism and radicalism have
fought each other ever since the bs-
ginning of the government. They
have not always been known by
those names; their activities have
from time TO time known different
causes. Always, however, there has
been a political sentiment which
was looked upon as cherishing tried
traditions. and another which con-
sidered itself called upon to over
turn existing conditions established
by those traditions.
It does not require any manufac-
turing of new party organizations
to provide housing facilities for
conservatives and radicals. Already
they are under shelter of their own
choosing. Already they have all the
machinery they desire for handling
their theories. All they now ask is
increased help in taking care Of the
equipment.

BETTER HOMES.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
This is Better Homes Week
In every state IN the Union, begin
ming today and running throughout
the week. a campaign is being con-
Quoted to arouse an interest in own
ing, improving and identifying
homes. The Tribune has long sup
ported the movement locally and is
glad to see it now made nationwide
In different community centers
suitable houses have been chosen
and have been equipped with furni-
ture and all other appliances to show
what a model home can be. Every
thing from kitchen and cellar TO
attic and roof has received atten-
ton. Saving space, saving work,
saving time, have been considered,
as we'll as making the home more
attractive and beautiful. To those
who are interested in improved
housekeeping equipment as well as
TO those who are interested in max
ing over the appearance Of their
homes, therefore, the movement has
a special appeal.
The task of organizing a Better
Homes Week" in each state, of get
ting the cooperation Of the authori-
ties and of the merchants. of insur-
ing the application of the highest
standards in the models used, has
not been easy. Various magazines
have done much to cultivate good
taste in, furnishings and decorations
among the women of the country.
But the editor of 1.-The Delineator,"
Mrs. William Brown Meloney, has
had the vision and the ability to
marshal the nationwide sentiment
for better homes into concrete &C
ton. A committee appointed and
backed by the Governor exists in
every state, and in Washington the
President, the Vice-President and
Mr.. Hoover have given real Coop
Grafton.
There Is nothing that teaches so
well as the sight of the eyes. When
the members Of a community can
see for themselves what a model
home can be they have standard
by which to measure their own
homes and to guide them in satisfy
Ing their own needs. Even though
the drive lasts only a week, 1t fur
nishes an impetus which will carry
forward the movement for better
homes for a long time.

americas False Position
From the New York Herald.

As was TO be expected, the foreign
ship lines which run to this country
will appeal to our courts against the
order that they must not bring in
toxicating whether cargo or
ship stores. whether loose or locked
and sealed-within the three mile
limits OF the United States and its
possessions.
1t will be a fortunate thing for
this country's reputation II the courts
find It in their wisdom TO declare
what is obvious; and the Prohibition
Amendment was never intended to
bring about such a situation as that
which now exists; never intended to
infringe upon the freedom of inter
national commerce.
If a remedy should not be found
for the evil created by the Daugherty
opinion the United States win stand
in a poor light other peoples whose
trade Is disturbed will not go into
the technicalitles of the matter.
They will not see that the mischief
may have resulted from the faulty
drafting of a law. OF a court decision,
or OF an officials opinion. They Will
see only that the United States,
breaking through usage which does
so much to promote the comfy OF
the world, has harassed the honest
shipping of friendly nations.
And for what? Two motives will
be ascribed to us. one is that the
United States, in whose own terri
tory the Eighteenth mendmsn and
the prohibition laws of the nation
and the States are violated and
scorned, is trying TO give tho rest Of
the world a dose OF the very medi-

I would necessarily complicate prob
lem that is already too complicat-
ed. Adoption of an intervention
program that would call for direct
action to effect the protection urged
would saddle this nation with a MIL
itary burden of enormous proper
lions and would commit It to a
course that could be followed only
at great cost and would be uncer-
tain in result. And this In addition
to tho entanglement with the allies
to which such line of action would
| lead.
Relative to the Turks return to
Europe. interference by America
would be even more rash. For the
allied powers have already agreed
on that subject with Turkey, and
America would NEEDLE at the risk
of complication not only with Tur-
key. but with the other nations in
yolved.
The Washington governments in
no position TO Intervene in the Near
East. 1t is following the only course
that is properly open to IL. And the
sooner the pro-intervention element
realizes this the better. It has done
all that It can do TO protect Amer
leans and their interests in Turkey
and to meet the demands OF the sit
uation that run in the name OF hui
mainly and world interest. 1t has
placed Itself on record as indors-
ing the allied proposals relative to
maintenance OF the freedom OF the
straits and protection OF racial and
religious mInorities, and has exerted
its influence in behalf Of those Inn
Seriled by existing developments in
that region. 1t has modified naval
forces in Turkish waters to enforce
observance of American rights and
has speeded supplies to the relief of
those IN want-and results prove
that its efforts in this direction have
been effective.
While America sympathizes with
mperiled elements in the Near
East this does not warrant the
Washington government to exceed
its authority by such Intervention as
certain ill-advised groups urge. Al
though the American people earn
estly hope that the allies powers
and Turkey will find a basis for
equitable settlement and welcome
reports OF agreement by Great Bril-
tain, France and Italy in their deal
ing with the Turkish problem, this
does not mean that they would
have their government NEEDLE in
the Near East snarl. On the con-
trary. their verdict, as rendered at
the last presidential election, Is I'M
equlvocally against such partlcipa-
ton.
