(luestioned loyalty to and zeal in be
half ot tue party auu auminisiruuou
now in power. Is a tact generally
Known. He has beea m the past and

now is a powerful influence in U'e; ghe'will be the metropolis of
councils of the present national ud
ministration, and is therefore en
titled to his share .f the praise or
blnnie that may attach to the record
of the party in poer during the
more than seven years past.
Mr. Gompers has oeen so good a
democrat that his partisanship and
activity has been rewarded by the ap
pointment of his son to a lucrative
federal position. He lias represented
the administration on different oc
casions in official or semi-official
capacities. Vnder these circum
stances his comments on the record
of the party In power cannot be
classed as disinterested. He ha
been a loyal democrat since the time
and ante-dating his naturalization
and has always been ready to come
to the assistance of the party when
occasion requires.
So good a partisan in fact has Mr.
Gompers been that he has neve
lifted his voice against the franchise
laws and practices Imposed by his
fellow democratic politicians on the
states of the south, whereby four
filths of the wage-earners, white as
Oregon. 1U per cem increase
some record even for Oregon.
St. Heleus will have hundreds of
visitors here the Urd, 4lii and in
ot July. Of course St. Helons people
want the visitors to receive a good
impression of St. Helens. A clean,
attractive town will help to create a
favorable Imprcssiou.
With an intention of arousing the
resentment of -the ni.iuy friends of
Hoover in the country, the Oregon
Journal craftily calls attention to the
act that lie was not nominated re
gardless of the fact that the galleries
at Chicago seemed to want him. We
would rmilind the Journal that !t
should not tsar its shirt ii th.s mat
ter till it ae what tile convention at
Sun Francisco does to Hooyer.
In an address to the visiting
Shriners at Portland, W, Frouland
Kendrick. imperial potentate, anioim'
I other important remarks made this
iverv uertinent statement: "The
well as black, have been denied the siirinera believe In .ut two 'isms,'
fundamental rights of citizenship. ali tMey are 'patriotism' and 'Amer-
Aiong wuu tue ouier ueiuocriis icaiilsm.' We want only one lan
and near democrats who havo echoed
the war cry that "Congress is a
failure," Mr. Gompers has issued a
statement charging .s present con
gress with having failed to bring
down the high cost of ''itijf and has
further failed to complete the tusk
oi reconstruction. Of course there
are people who might wonder why
n view of the fact that Mr. Gom
pers' party has been In power for
seven yeurs and was put into power
on a pledge to bring down that same
cost of high living and otherwise
work the nation over on the model
of the New Jerusalem there is so
much fuss raised over a republican
congress in Its failure to do, with
only partial responsibility, in a few
. months what Mr. Gft.iipers' party has
Utterly failed to do in seven years
iwjth complete control of both legis
lative and executive branches of the
government. Certainly the present
...congress is a failure in the eyes of
the labor leader. No republican
congress could be anything else to
hi hard-boiled a democrat.
But at that Mr. Gompers may he
' Jiistaken in his statements. There
ha been times in the pant when in
lias been mistaken, and it it barely
possible he may be in this ta.se.
Many years ago bombs were exploded
in ilaymarket Square, Chicago, at
an anarchist demonstration und many
people were killed. .'eral profes
sional anarchists v.'-re tried tor the
crime, convicted and sentenced to bj
handed. Mr. Gcmpers appeared in
eha!f of these men at a hearing be
3'ore the governor and in his remarks
.declared that If these anarchists were
hansvl, it would set back the cause
ot organized labor twenty yeurs. The
convicted men V'ere duly hanged, and
; we r.ll know about how many min
utes, to say nothing of years, organ
ized labor was set back.
Ten years, ago this summer Mr,
Gompers stumped the country in be
l iilf of the McNamara brothers, then
,on trial for dynamiting the Lo3
Angeles Times building, in whici.
several lives were lost. He exhorted
laboring men to donate money for
their defense and made the state
ment that the McNamuras wen no
more guilty of the crime charged
against them than he was himself.
While he was in the midst of the
campaign In their behalf the Mc
Namaras confessed to being guilty
of the crime charged againt them.
It Is probable that Mr. Gompers
may be as badly mistaken today as
to what Is in the .jest Interests of
unionism, as he was on these oc
casions. Certainly organized labor
as a whole is not represented in Mr..
Gompers' appearance every two years
as a democratic party campaigner,
always sure that his party la the
loving friend of labor and tlif.t the
republican party Is the enemy of
mankind.
guage spoken in this country and
that the language of Washington,
Jellerson, Lincoln, McKiuley and
Uoosevelt."
The Senate Agriculture Committee
has done a good turn for the farmers.
There are few things on which great
er production t)l food depends than
a mine bountiful supply of fertillz
.ng inatitriala. They aie' r.lgh and
S'.-arce. Tlitt administration spent
about fSO.uOO.t'UO on a plant at
.Muscle Shoals to make fin nit a for
ammunition purposes out of the air
and that's a hat the money went into;
not an ounce of nitrate came out ot
it A bill to operate this now uselss
plant for actual production of nitrate
nd by-products for agricultural use
Ins been reported favorably by the
committee by unanimous vote.
Hcmember how winsome Is Modesty
nd how repugnant Is Conceit,
(toasting wins no allies,
.den resent ,domin,.'on. They rehe
at coercion. And they fear over
growth.
Sympathy lies with tluj under dog
Size and strength excite interest
Hut they suggest Belt-sufficiency
and ha chills the heart.
The great majority, fighting In tin
ranks, fel no ' fuHowsliip witi
leaders.
They have no love for tbn powerful
Tas the distrust and fec.r of over
lords that hied the. grudge ugainai
big business.
U is evident still In the growing
trend to help In an uphill fight.
So It wise to flaunt bigness.
Or to show h esire to crush rivals
Or to indicate dominance, usually
Men who really command do not seen
to attempt It. Men with the
most power least display It.
That Is particularly true where suc
cess depends on a following. Above
all, in politics and business. Ex
