APPREHENDED
SAMUEL GOMPERS, DIAZ OF AMERICAN LABOR FEDERATION.
I TT HOUGH he has shown no Indication of any Intention to resign
I I tinder Are, Samuel Gompers may be called the Diaz of the Amer
,h Mm ,can Federation of Labor. For twenty-nine years, with an inter
4 val of one year's retirement, be has held the presidency of that
v.iauuauvu auu. una iwu me executive neaa 01 organized labor In the
United States. He Is English born, sixty-one years old and for more
than thirty-five years has been interested In labor unionism. Organized
capital has launched many broadsides against President Gompers, but
the? slide off him like water from a duck's back. As a scorner of ad
verse criticism he again appears Diaz like. Whenever and wherever
unionism is attacked there you will find Gompers fighting like a veteran.
By reason of tiz connection with the boycott against the Bucks Stove
and Range company he was sentenced to serve a year In Jail, but re
cently the supreme court of the United States reversed the lower tri
bunal, and Mr. Gompers now has no incarceration to face. He lives In
Washington, but he is here, there and. everywhere fn his fight for the
rights of unionism as he conceives theia.

Pianti Without Roots. .
The "flower of the air" is a curious
plant found in China and Japan. It is
so called because it appears to have no
root and is never fixed to tbe earth. It
twines around a dry tree or sterile
rock. Each shoot produces two or
three flowers like a lily white, trans
parent and odoriferous. It is capable
of being transported COO or 700 miles,
and it grows as it travels, suspended
on a twin.

Miles Polndexter, United States sena
tor from the state of Washington and
chalman of the senate committee on
expenditures in the interior depart
ment, this department of the govern
ment embracing the United States re
clamation service, has studied the ef
fect of irrigation development In the
west from a social, political and econ
omc point of view, and recently, In an
interview at Washington, he discussed
the law of supply and demand as it
relates to land, emphasizing the Im
portance of conserving and develop
ing the resources yet extant. He as
serted the National Irrigation con
gress', which has its 19tti annual sea
sessions here Dec. 5 to 9, has been
the leading organization in creating
public opinion in behalf of this work.
; Calling attention to the fact that many
j arid areas which are now practically
worthless can be made to support the
densest rural population through ir
rigation, he said:
"With the settlement of practically
all of the public lands which will pro
duce crops without Irrigation, the ne
cessity arises of utilizing those vast
arid regions which can be made pro
ductive by this artificial supply of the
needed moisture for vegetation, in
stead of merely Improving the land, it
transforms it from the. most worth
less to the. most valuable and fruit
ful land" in the world, - and areas
which were incapable of supporting
a single family have been made and
can be made capable of supporting
the densest agricultural population of
any part of the country, j - r , .
"The desire for lands is insatiable;
it is Inherent in the great race which
has principally settled and given form
and character to our nation. Homes
upon the land are a social and econ
omic necessity, and by the cruel law
of supply and demand the need for
land has been intensified, and is being
intensified a thousand fold, while the
supply- has been correspondingly ex-
