Mir. GOmpers Asks Questions.
Cincinnati Enquirer. )

Senators Ladd and King have gone to Russia to ascertain what is going on over there. Mr Gompers Is not friendly to the Soviet Government He pro- poses questions to the distinguished senator's He emphatically opposed to the recognition of the present Government of Russia by this Government. He opposed to this program because the authorities at believe that American institutions should be destroyed, and because these authorities maintain an unremitting propaganda in this country whose object frankly Is to accomplish the downfall of the republic.
 Everybody is aware of this Soviet activity in America. And MT. Gompers says America has been invaded by horde of reyoutionsts from Soviet Russia who have sought by of deception and intrigue to destroy the organizations which American labor has set for it's protection So constant and diligent have been the activities of these agents of disruption that the officers of the American Fedora tion of Labor and it's constituent bodies have been compelled to guard the integrity of it's unions with the utmost waehfulness.'
 MT. Gompers points to the fact that the recent Farmer Labor convention at Chicago captured" by the Communists masqueradng workers under specific instructions from Moscow.
 Mir. Gompers naturally wants the distinguished Senators to inform the public their return to this country whether free speech and free press ognized in Russia he demands to know whether labor is free in Russia; he does not want the aurances of the Soviet authorities that these priv without the fatterng assistance of said authorities He is opposed to entering into any relations with the Soviet Government until he be convinced that 1t has not established rigid right and tyrannous herarchy, has not throtled the press denied freedom of speech, subjugated the working classes ex- ated revolution in the interests Bolsheyism as the religion of the reformation.
 MT. Gompers has had investigations made in Rus sa; he has been made painfully of the as- sumptons and malign activities of Soviet agents in this country he demands that these Senators bring home the truth and not a credulous report founded upon the solicitous expositions of the blessings of Sovlctlsm as interpreted by the who now rule that devoted land through the power represented by agiona of bayonets in the hands of pampered relng soldery.

SENATOR EDGE AND THE BONUS BILL.

Senator Edge of New Jersey, opposed the soldiers bonus b that was vetoed by President Harding last winter, has announced that he will support the right sort of bonus bill in the next congress and expresses the belief tha one can be passed The New York Times takes Senator Edge to task for his 'change of front and inmates that the circumstances that he will candidate for re- election next year and that his colleague, Senator Frelinghuysen who voted with him on the bonus bill was defeated last year by landslide majority are the causes for the change.
 President Harding did not give opposition to the principle of the bonus bill his reason for veoing IL. lie opposed the bill because Congress did not provide for the payment of the cost which he esi- mated would in the end amount 10 about s4 900 : 100000. President Harding took the position that 1T we to pay a bonus we must pay it in real money and that the only ways to get real money are through taxation or borrowing, and Congress did not provide for the taxation the issuance of bonds Perhaps there is inconsistency in the position of Senator Edge after all.

AUTOS NOT ON THE

The traditional picture Of the

narrow minded and obstinate par
ent who in the face of this double
testimony and appeal, allows his son
TO have a car at Princeton. Indeed,

that a student who defies the public
opinion OF the university as thus ex-
pressed, has no cause for complaint

noon. members of the New Castle

present several measures TO the

will be that presented to the court

Points Civics Association.
This act provides that one-fourth
OF all road taxes paid by property
owners in unincorporated districts
shall be used for road improvements
in those districts.

in the system of collecting county
taxes The idea is to have the law

sheriff will be empowered to sell
the properties within ten days after

DIR. GRANTS LATEST.

From the Washington Post.
The Rev. DR.. Percy Stickney
Grants latest blast is his assertion
that the fight against him and his
novel doctrines is being inspired
by capitalistic interests working
under the surface" rather than by
religious zeal to purge the church
of apostates. Sounds very much like
the Western Socialists stereotyped
explanation Of any and all opposi-
tion. DR.. Grant runs to novelty
but he breaks his own record when
he attributes TO 'capltalietic inter-
ests" a concern in religious con-
troversy. Why should they be work
ing under the surface"-or on It
in this matter Of creed and doctrine?
Dr. Grant does not say.
such explanation OF the opposl-
ton that he is encountering thus
offered by this spectacular divine
suggests the last resort in a failing
fight. But be that as It may, the
doctor is evidently bent on going

RESISTANCE"
Is A HARD NIT

From the Minneapolis Tribune.
British and American authorities
have found from time to time that
hunger strikes" are disagreeable
things to deal with. Gandhi, with
his policy OF non-cooperation for
India. created an embarrassing and
difficult situation for the British
government. Now the French occu-
pants of the Ruhr are up against
something OF the same sort with re-
.spect to German laborers and others.
The practice of passive resistance, >"
which has reached an expensive
stage, apparently is going to be a
hard nut for France to crack.
Hunger strikers have been forcl-
bly, fed. but neither the process nor
the effect was satisfactory. Gandhi
was placed in prison end large
measure of his influence was thus
nullifed. but his preachings of nom
cooperation as practiced extensively
by his adherents in the Indian popu-
lace, and in some respects the Indian
passive resistance is more difficult to
cope with than an active resistance
would be.
1t remains to be seen what the
French military authorities. backed
by the French government. will do II
this German passive resistance keeps
