RQPSEVELT AND GOMPERS*

It seems that Teddy last night gave Sam Gompers a biff on the scapula and charged Mr. Gompers and union labor with being responsible for the East St. rtots. The colonel not only v' grabbed the spot light, but he defied the reflectors to do their worst. iS: As to his charge that unionism Is -i s the explanation of the St. Louis riots, i the colonel might as well have charged the tempest up to the Gaekwar of

Baroda or the Akound of Swat. He *§1 could seem to prove it about as handily, and he couldn't have been refuted any more effectively,—to his own mind, of .vd/ course.

What Mr. Qompers shmiM have iSone Was to have told the audience what is really the cause of the St. Louis riots— 1 partisan'politics. He should nave told s Mr. Roosevelt that it was politics that s prevented Mayor Mollman from shifting from his weak and vacillating !j course to a strong policy that would have brought about law enforcement and would have impelled- the East St.

Louis police to do their duty when the first trouble was brewing. Mr. Gompers should have told Mr. Roosevelt that It wn* politics that prevented Governor I

iii

Lowden, with the politician's eye to his W future career, from ordering the state militia on duty before It was too late

to stop the murder and carnage that occurred. Mr. Gompers should have V» asked Co!. Roosevelt why three prominent "politicians" are missing from

East St. Louis and cannot be found by 4 the Investigators who are making an f| investigation. These are known to be men who exploited the negro voters, and doubtless had a retaining hand o.i such agencies as would have preserved & order in the early hours of the rioting. ?l Mr. Gompers should have told the colonel of the ramifications of the political system that has openly and brazenly seized upon the economic conditlpns and upon the importation of the negroes into East St. Louis craftily to increase its power and to tighten its grip on the city.

IcoL Roosevelt's offense to Gompers and his effort to pin the Bast St. Louis

rjots at the door of union labor are .^characteristic of the former president. Still, it is a good thing for union labor. u 1 The colonel is so persistently wrong on fundamentals many will conclude that this is but another lapse. The colonel acquired his antipathy towards organized labor from that other "practical i |an." the late E. H. Harriman, and if can get in a knock against the sysat so public a meeting as a recep

ORPHAN TOWNS.

The idea of American cities adopting some of the stricken small towns of France and Belgium ought to appeal to Terre Haute especially keenly. Our own French name establishes a tie in itself. So Terre Haute (high ground) would not be only high ground in name, but in deed as well.

Already Washington, D. C., has taken upon Itself the work of restoring Noyon, and Detroit is asked to assume the role of stepfather to Soissons.

The first step is to raise money to put roofs on the houses, so the returning inhabitants will find shelter. Tools and materials are to be furnished and funds supplied for re-establishing for mer industries or founding new ones.

The idea is an excellent one, and will aid in forming ties of friendship that will long endure. As there are thousands of American towns that might wish to take war-stricken communities under their wings, the plan might be extended later to the devastated portions of Serbia, Poland* Roumania and Armenia.

Emigration and trade might in time be affected by the general cultivation of such relations, to say nothing of the great work of philanthorpy, which is, of course, the main purpose of the movemeau

WHAT WILL SETTLE THE WAR?

Aircraft enthusiasts claim that a very large sum invested in flying machines and men to operate them will win the war in short order. They have introduced in congress several measures, one of which provides an appropriation of $639,000,000 with which to build 22,625 aeroplanes and 45,250 engines, and to draft 75,000 men as flyers.

These are large figures, and the number of aircraft proposed is greater, probably, than all the belligerents combined have at the present time.

The only question that congress will ask is: "Wlil they do the business?" There is no disposition to be penurious.

Advocates of aircraft say a great preponderance of heavy aeroplanes, each capable of carrying ten to twenty men and a large quantity of explosives, with a sufficient number of fighting planes to drive off enemy aircraft, will make it possible to destroy bridges and munition centers and disperse enemy troops wherever they happen to be gathered in large bodies, so It will be impossible for the German war machine to move forward or backward. Everybody knows what happens when a delicately adjusted piece of machln

tion to a foreign commission, it does his rough riding heart good. Mr." Lincoln's asumption that you can't fool all of the people all of the time has been successfully refuted by but one case in all history. Mr. Lincoln died before he could witness the political gyrations of the colonel.

Mr. Gompers missed his opportunity. He had before him a shining member of a political organization that has exploited the negro vote, not only In East St. Louis, but very generally throughout the country, and each time It has done it has fostered the racial conflict that flamed in East St. Louis. And the negro, all the time, while thinking he was moving towards influence and affluence, was inviting distress and disaster.

A larger reason than union labor is required to explain all of the conditions which led up to this blot on the country.

Such, they assert, would be the fate of the German war machine if there should be a sudden attack from the air in overwhelming fore*.

When this subject is discussed one question naturally comes to mind: If aircraft can be made such a decisive factor why have not the allies within the past two years built great fleets of these weapons and claimed the victory? Or do not the real military experts have confidence in the plan?

ANOTHER ONE GONE.

While we will be slow to admit It, the sinking of the Orleans, as told in the Tribune dispatches today, is quite a stroke for the Germans. Too, it leads to speculation on Just how successful warfare against the submarine has been. The Orleans was the first ship to run the German "ruthless" blockade. She

got

a great reception in France.

Today's news indicates that the Germans then and there determined the fate of the Orleans and made it come true.

These Incidents clearly prove that the U-boat is still an effective war machine, and that it has not yet been driven from the sea.

Admiral Von Capelle declares that the number of U-boats in service is increasing rapidly that losses are moderate and the victory for the U-boats is certain. A correspondent of the Associated Press, who appears to have been given exceptional chances for Inform ing himself, is of the opinion that sub stantial losses are being inflicted on the German undersea fleet, and that it is becoming more and more difficult for them to operate.

Time will tell who is right, but there is no reason for taking the German admiral's prediction at its face value. He only predicts victory. When the campaign began German war prophets named the day when victory would be won, but the facts proved them false prophets.

for allied commerce in several months, and in this country work is going forward at great speed on the construction of U-boat chasers. If the present sea patrol can keep the level of destruction from growing, a large Increase in armed small craft ought to bring the level down.

It is not a pleasant thought, but a fact, nevertheless, that the Increasing participation of the United States in the war will also act as a protection to commerce by diverting U-boat attacks to troop ships. We know that a large number of them left off piracy for a while to make legitimate warfare against the first expedition to France.

After denying the presence of American troops in France, the German government would be in an awful dilemma if It should happen to capture a few. How could It make a big howl over the capture of troops which did not exist?

A timely hint to the I. W. W.: Don't start anythln garound St. Louis. The authorities just row are inclined to shoot first and explain afterward.

The United States may save En* land's shipping by drawing the U-boats out the Atlantic to Intercept our transports.

John Philip Sousa Is to take the Marine band to France. We presume the musicians' union will offer no objection to this.

What the Illinois national guard needs Is more capable officers. The men are all right, if properly led.

Those rioting suffragists at Washington are only making themselves look silly.

Russia does not have to win, hi order to help the allies. Just keep on fighting.

China may not know what she Is fighting for, ^ue she is on her way.

Mars and Uranus contend for power today, which is a time of conflicting influences.

It should be a lucky rule for military affairs and th4 planets seem to presage great honors for new men. Again the law of this period appears to be inexorable In Its demand that the old step aside for the young.

In both army and navy danger of dissatisfaction and enmity is prognosticated, owing to changes in methods of handling the affairs of war, but great heroes will rise to victorious command, the seers declare.

Concerning the war even astrolotroVs who disagree find that thejp lj,a probability of a long conflict, is not attained in the next six^rrr'tdght'^K^s.

Uranus is believed to breed inconsistencies and to make it possible for persons to be patriotic and unpatriotic at the same time and \his policy will mark many well-meaning men and women.

Chicago comes under a sway making for large attainment in all lines of public service.

For Canada the outlook appears evert more encotiraging than for some time. Crops should be good and business prosperous.

The south should benefit greatly from public enterprises, especiallyafter August.
