Mr. IllrshfiddlPi' Is one of the best known men In the county and raises one of the largest " crops of nuts In this locality. The' miasma continues unabated, but as yet nobody hns lmiulred: is H fOKgy enough for you? Whoever does will never ukuIu swim throuirh the itray mantle which cllntcs over this fair valley, like Clrlin Ueuth at a woodpecker's hole. LIKR irOST Bi'iuiine lenders Samuel Gompers whs a mini of one idea. Prom the time lie resigned us it cijiiii'-niiiker to become organizer of the, American Federation of Labor, Mr. Gompers had one supreme purpose in life from which he never faltered, that was to better the condition of the American' worker. J'erceiviiiK at the outset that this betterment could only be iidiieved through power, and power could only be attained through organization, the perennial president of the A. P. L., never relin iiished his fight for the extension of labor organization, and at his death n survey of the growth of organized labor in this country is only necessary to convince the most sceptical of his sensntionul suc cess. A man of one idea, Mr. fiompers was necessarily n partisan, and as a consequence often gave his support to policies, which from the f.tandpoint of the country as a whole, were undesireahle. Hut ho was not fighting for his adopted' country, he was fighting for what he sin cerely believe to be his consecrated cause, and in fairness it can not be denied, that had he been less narrow in his outlook, he would never have been able to remain the force in labor circles, which he was to the moment of his death. 15ut tllere was a limit to Mr. Gompcrs partisanship, that limit was set by innate loyalty to his country and his essential common sense. During tho world war when some radical labor leaders saw an opportunity to advance their cause by strikes and sabotage, I'resi-) dent Gompcrs spent no time in temporizing, but gathering his lieu tenants about him, pledged the undivided support of labor to the country's cause, and drove the traitors from the councils of his or ganization. Even more praiseworthy was the Gompcrs reaction to the Rus sian revolution, and the consequent wave of Bolshevism which spread to every corner of the world. 'With a score of his own subordinates giving a sympathetic ear to the promises, of a new social order and the dictatorship of the proletariat, the president of the American Federa tion was an uncompromising foe of social revolution from the outset. It is not an exaggeration to say that Samuel Gompers more than any other man, saved this country from the ravages of this dread dis ease, and made America safe for the Democratic ideal, and the reten tion of private property as opposed to the communistic principle, cer tain. ' For taking this stand Gompcrs gained the undying hatred of many of his former supporters, as he had gained the hatred of the extreme conservatives, at the 'beginning of his career. But ho was right, just as he was right in his original contention that labor is entitled to organization, is entitled to the proper use of the power which such organization brings, and that no country can be secure in its material prosperity, unless the workers as a whole enjoy n condition of well being which justifies contentment and spiritual, as well as physical satisfaction.
