THE PASSING OF a FRIEND.
The death of Samuel Gomper

The death of Sam uel Gompers,
for the past forty years presi
sident of the American Fedora.
tion of Labor, has sent pang
of genuine regret through the
hearts of the toilers of America,
who have suffered the loss of a
true friend.
Samuel Gompers had, during
his lifetime, truly exemplitied
the respect he held for those
who must earn their livelihood
by the sweat of the brow. He
believed. and justly, that the
toilers of the world we're worthy
of respect too often denied them,
and during his long career as a
champion of labor. he never for
got that his greatest duty was
to the mass of working people.
Organized labor, the target of
the almighty dollar, has with.
stood the battering rams of or.
ganized capital throughout the
past forty years, through the
generalship and courage of Sam.
uel Gompers.
He pursued a middle course,
one which was honestly his own
conviction, and although too
radical for the conservative ele,
ment. and too conservative for
the radical element, be success.
fully guided labor's destiny
through a period of constant
storm and strife.
Samuel Gompers fought for
that which those who opposed
him readily recognized as the
due of the working masses, but
though they fought him bitterly,
nwardly they respected him and
the business of his cause.
American industry bas bene
fitted, after all. from the efforts
of Samuel Gompers, even tho
American industry opposed most
of the principles outlined by him
regarding the proper recognition
of the man in overalls.
To him, the workman owes all
that be has gained in better
wages, shorter hours and safer
working conditions, for Gompers
was many times forced to dis.
play the greatest of courage in
keeping the cause to which be
devoted his lifetime from being
lost to enemies from within.
Outstanding deeds of benefac.
ton are rarely recognized until
death has claimed the body, but
there is no doubt but that the
life work of Samuel Gompers in
the interests of his toiling fellow
men has won for his memory
everlasting gratitude.
Organized labor has lost a true
friend-and the same may be
said of American industry

SENSIBLE AUTO LAWS.

In dealing with the problem
of reducing traffic accidents
there is much confusion of effort
and waste of ideas, much pro-
posed and so little done.
In view of the fact that %. 900
persons we're killed and 678,0O0
injured in traffic accidents in this
country last year, remedial
measures are necessary.
School children, drivers, legis.
lators, city fathers and police
must be educated on this sub.
ject. There should be uniform
traffic laws governing motor We.
hicles instead of the present con.
fusion which provides a type of
headlight in one state which is
unlawful in an adjoining state:
which subject a driver to arrest
when he crosses state line be.
cause of different traffic regula.
tions with which he is not ia.
miliar; which require all automo.
biles TO pass trolley car on the
left in one locality while requir-
ing that driver keep to the
right in al adjoining city.
Some states have a good auto.
mobile law that is enforced and
motor accidents show a decrease.
In other states there is much
room for Improvement. Inspec.
ton is strict in some states, in
others lax and the same rule ap.
plies to the issuance of automo.
bile licenses. Standardization of
motor vehicle laws will help
lessen motor accidents.
