J He did everything pos sible to kill it when its leaders met in Chicago to form a plat form and name a candidate. Then he did what he has always done heretofore and what he was expected to do again. He came out with a non-partisan' state ment in the American Federa- tionist for Cox and the entire Democratic ticket. As a Demo crat, he had swallowed the League of Nations hook, line and sinker. Just as President Wilson had brought It back from Ver sailles. ' The fact that the presi dent had helped, to nullify the labcr bill of rights so as to change it from 'labor is not a commodity or article of com merce to "labor Is not merely commodity or article of com merce.' made no difference to him. And the fact that Senator Cummins, of Iowa, had orig inated thi principle of law made no difference. Cummins is a Re publican, and that was enough: he must be blacklisted and pun ished. "What is the net result of Gompers political efforts In the interests, of the Democratic party? Cummins was re-elected by a two to one vote in Iowa. Watson of Indiana. Moses of New Hampshire Brandegee of Con necticut, and Wadsworth of New York, whom he had particularly inveighed against, were re elected by tremendous majorities. Cox was smothered. In a state ment Gompers now says that the election is 'not satisfactory In in order to stabilize oar in dustrial world, and to prevent widespread non-employment and many failures. The Statesman believes the principle of the Salem com munity arbitration, or of, the Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen, must be applied generally in the United States in order tp Insure absolutely in dustrial peace; to absolutely pre vent ftrikes Either the adoption and en forcement of this principle or there are bound to be troublous times ahead, with thousands of strikes and much privation, while the country is getting back to normal For low wages and general unemployment are unthinkable, while the costs of living remain high, which they are bound to do for a long period of time. leader ot his party than any: bank, tot If the wife chip? in and ' l n't very much to trouble about other man because of his titular J as: leadership oi me Democratic ma- rving.

Nor a question of doctrine or creed, It isn't a question of fame or renown, .

He can no longer dictate, and the ge4 In fluence he might have exerted he has largely lost because he has utilized his office as a Demo cratic politician and with an in coming Republican administra tion he must go out too. "The passing of the influence of Gompers, however, will have a beneficial effect upon the labor movement in general, not be cause of its passing, but '.because the Republican administration will reorganize the labor depart ment so as to stamp out of it Socialism and other radicalism and so as to make it such an organ of real benefit to labor in fighting its battles for it that it will gain the confidence ot labor ing men everywhere for its fair ness and usefulness. The de partment was organized unuer an act passed during the last year of the Taft - administration and the 'Wilson administration was the first to organize it. William B. Wilson has been sec retary, of it for eight years and Louis F. Post has been ; assist ant secretary of it that -long. Most of. that time it has been con sidered a dead letter. The new administration proposes to put new life into it and to do it in each a way that it will appeal to the rank and file of labor." France Is unalterably opposed to the admission of Germany to the League of Nations. Nobody appears to love Germany. Down in Mexico they are set ting ready to inaugurate Presi dent Obregon. It looks as if peaca had at least for the time smiled upon the republic below us. There is Just one thing that stands in the way of the Salem district being the greatest straw berry district in the' world. And that is lack of adequate cold storage facilities.. We have men big enough and broad enough to provide them. Who will organize them behind the idea? ' No message of congratulation from President Wilson to his suc cessor.

It Is the idea of the slogan editor that this is a good apple country for the right varieties of apples. What is your idea? It is your duty to send it in, if you have one. ' - The above is from tne current bulletin of the National Repub lican Congressional committee. There are some tremendous issues involved. There is the question of col lective bargaining, for instance, and of open shops, and of the prevention of strikes. There is the .question of the shop arbitration committee, the trade arbitration committee, the community arbitration commit tee And of compulsory arbitra tion ' And of possible widespread unemployment, in the recon- responsibility on the part of the Republican members of congress, who will attempt to redeem the campaign pledges of the party. Here is the article: 'With a majority of 153 in-the house and 22 in the senate, the Republican. party has returned to power with a solemn sense of re sponsibility after ten years of Democratic control. "The fact that the house ma jority is larger than ever given any party in the history of the country and that the senate ma jority is sufficient to make sure of the passage of aU party measures, does not cause elation among the leaders in either branch of congress so much a de termination to do away with the evils in administration which caused the landslide in their favor. "It is only within the facts to say that no party ever came to power with such a serious sense of responsibility as the Republi can party at this time. In inter views with those who are to wield that power one Is impressed at once with this feeling that the party must do great things to make good and that it will do them. The Republican party is the party of constructive effort It lost congress in 1910 on the Democratic promise to reduce the cost of living, lost the presidency in 1912 by a split, and in 1916 by a promise to keep as out of war. It returns to take up the burden where it laid It down. having In the meantime during the war outvied the Democrats in patriotic submersion ot par tisanship. It is united as it has never been. The article goes on to assume that the League ot Nations is dead; which, as far as the League of Nations compact brought over" Ny President Wilson without an dotted or a t crossed is con cerned, is true. But the League of Nations, is net dead; nor is the League of Nations Issue In the United States dead. It will press for solution. It must be solved. The world is tired of the wholesale assassination called war, and the people of the United States cannot avoid their re sponsibility to the rest of the world of which they are a part and the great majority ot the people of the United States do not want to avoid it. The article goes on to say that "it" (meaning the Republican party) "will have the greatest navy in the world and an army sufficient for development to I meet any emergency." tneu smun is tne writer ot tne arUcIe. That. Is his individual opinion, and it is no doubt re flected by the military cult at Washington. But it Is not the opinion of the great majority ot the Republi cans or of the great majority of the people of the United States.

It might be worse. Of course, there are heaps of folks who are everlast ingly wielding the hammer, but the hammer is more purposeful as a constructive tool than as a de structive weapon. As the good old bard. Silas P. Higgins. quaint ly remarks in his immortal work. 'The Passionate Plumber:" "The world is filled with grief and woe. But let's not lag behind. Tho' skies be overcast, we know The clouds are silver-lined." Of course, there are people who make a specialty of worrying. They would worry because of the fact that there was nothing to worry about. They would grunt If they had lumbago. But if peo ple who worry would set a par ticular time for it and not spread it over the day they would be surprised to find how shdYt a period was really necessary. If a man would say: "I will do all my worrying from 7 to 11 of a morning.' he would soon realize that he had time to spare and that, as a matter of fact, be could do all his necessary worrying while he was waiting for bis bath water.
