Always and on all occasions Samuel Gom- pers thought for the interest of the men he epresented. ts built in this nation an organization, through patience, toil and persistence, which though unpopular in the beginning, no one would in this day see harmed,’if he possessed ie power. ee elevated labor as a whole from an estate of subservience to an estate of honored dignity. Organized labor, and all labor in this coun try owe a debt of gratitude to Samuel Gom pers, which they can only repay by honoring his memory and following his wisest teachings. A Brilliant American A paragraph in a New York newspaper tells of ane aMtigvat the home of Robert G. Ingersoll at 117 Grammercy Park which since the owner’s death in 1899 has been occupied by his descend- ants. This beautiful old residence and the one adjoining, once the home of Stanford White, famous architect and victim of Harry Thaw’s pistol are to give way for a mammoth modern apartment building. Tine lower aah of the Ingersoll mansion has remained all these years, especially the liv- ing room and library, overlooking the park, just as they were when the owner died. The two rooms are a veritable Ingersoll museum, with portraits, busts, books and mementoes of friends and associates of his time, everything charac- teristic of the man who originally placed them i osition. tp bert G. Ingersoll was a veteran of the Civil war, a Colonel. He was one of America’s most famous orators and word painters. In the years following the war he resided in Mli- nois and but for his pronounced atheism, could have held any public position in the republic, governor of the state, senator in congress, cab- inet member, or possibly president of the United THis was an uncompromising Republican in politics and was present at all national gather- ings of his party. It was Colonel Ingersoll, who in his nominating speech of James G. Blaine, of Maine, the idol of the Republican party, referred to him as the “Plumed Knight’ in the national convention: of 1876, a name which adhered to Blaine for all the years of his life. Ingersoll, was much sought after on great public occasions and soldiers’ reunions because of his outstanding oratory. He never failed to rise to any occasion presented. His addresses and writings are preserved and studied to this day for their repereanle selection of words to convey his meaning. While people generally forgave his unbelief because of his wonderful talents, his most faith- ful admirers never ceased to regret the stand he took in opposition to the accepted beliefs of the world. Among the many ornaments to public life brought forth by the American republic, none shone more brilliantly than Robert G. Ingersoll. Another Dead One The radical following, known officially as the conference for Progressive Political action, in- cluding all blocs and all degrees of wild and woolly sentiment, attempted to hold a confer- ence in Washington the other day to determine what action if any they would take to perpetuate their party. There proved just as many divergent views about the matter as there were elements in the gathering. So many had not yet recovered from the complete repudiation of their propo- sals and policies, by the people of the country in November, that the majority of those present finally got together and adjourned, fixing Feb- ruary 25th, 1925 as the date for another attempt to decide what to do. This. third party movement centers about La Follette, if ig centers about anybody or any- thing. The recent miserable failure of La Fol- lette’s leadership, and his age, seventy-nine years, marks him as a has been and hopeless; ‘and ds no one else in the country holds views in harmony with more than one or two of the radical bodies, it has dawned upon the con- ference for Progressive Political Action that it is totally without a leader, even if there was imy demand for its existence. Like all other third party movements of recent “the conference for Progressive Political is a dend one. | Vain and Foolish Ambitions if the Moscow fanatics were endowed with ty, they would alize that the road to tri umph for their cause is through the justification of communism in Russia hy economic results.

The test of able to spend, but hgw much it is able to get for the necessary amount it does spend, that will redound to the benefit of the people who foot the bills—and that means all the People. Demagogic Fallacy The demagague argues, of course, that taxa- tion can be so levied that it is paid only by the rich or the well-to-do. That is a sophistry easily exploded. _ The tax bill goes into the rent, the grocery bill, the clothing bill and every other bill the every-day citizen has to pay.- The question of taxation is one of universal interest Economy is mighty good economics. Will Be Moist The question before the Dail Eireann and the Free State Senate, the two houses of Ireland’s congress, is whether or not next St. Patrick’s Day shall be wet or dry. The latter body’ put a dry clause in the government’s liquor bill and the former body struck it out. One body is as insistent as the other in the position assumed, and a deadlock exists. As neither body seems willing to’ recede, the dry clause is doomed and St. Patrick’s Day of 1925 bids fair to be as moist as ‘heretofore. / Democratic leaders now casting abont for a campaign issue ‘may find it in President Cool- idge’s. estimate of a $73,000,000 treasury sur- plus, and undoubtedly the record of Democratic leadership proves that it knows how to get rid of such an embarrassment.
