HOLDING A TRUE COURSE.

In the rt-eleetion yesterday of Sam« uel Gompers, president, and in the defeat of the last resolution before It attempting: to Organize a labor party In this country, the American Federation of Labor seems to be steering a true course and a wise one. Mr. Gompers has earned for labor In the last two years the fine regard of the people of this country. Be was an invaluable public man during the war.

As to the second point, responsible leaders of American labor have consistently opposed the radicals' plan of going into politics as a separate party, believing that better results are to be Attained by reserving labor's strength and exerting it in whatever direction time and circumstance dictate. And when one surveys the many victories ftr labor achieved in this country without a distinctively labor party, one Is Impressed with the seeming wisdom of the Gompers policy. It is difficult to believe that labor could have accomplisher more or be now in a more favVorable •conomio position had the counsel of the radicals prevailed and a straight out labor party been organised.

In tlft#, of the attitude of American labor is different from that __of British labor, In Great Britain labor has long acted in politics as a separate party. It remains to be demonstrated, however, that more has bean accomplished there than hers or that differing conditions between the two countries make it advisable to adopt here ft plait that appears to bring re-

Suits thero. So long as Wbor Tn this country is filled by its present inclinations it will continue to exert its influence at the polls and in the legislatures, state, national and local, through the old established parties, supporting this or that candidate, urping this or that bit of legislation, regardless of any partisan aspects the case may have, coneerned only with the all Important question as to where the Interests of labor He. It is the method indorsed by many. years of experience in this Country. Its value Is attested by hundreds of statutes written and enforced ftt the behest of labor. v The federation at Atlantic City is

THI8 80UN0S DIFFERENTLY.

Senator McCumber Is the first republican senator to speak at length and unreservedly In favor of the league of nations. His attitude is exactly the reverse of that of the leading republicans who are opposing the league. He sees faults in the agreement, but recognizes the fact that a treaty made to harmonize many loonflicting Interests and compromise between divergent opinions must be imperfect.

He is willing that the United States shall overlook what it considers objectionable In return lor equal forbearances from, the other nations, to the end that the world shall be organised for peace.

This is exactly what Lodge, Knox and the rest seem incapable of seeing. All of their emphasis Is upon criticism, and one would suppose from them that the combined labors of the leading statesmen of the present tima tad resulted Jn nothing of value.

Other republicans will be found standing with Senator McCumber, while many more have not committed themselves "irrevocably to the opposition. They are prospective converts, and wjth the ceturn of the president and full discussion of his side by himself there will be a

I ON TUESDAY.

On Tuesday people of Terre Haute will be called on to look at the acquisition of parks and playgrounds as a civic asset, as something increasing the worth of the town as a place in which to live.

As a forerunner to the election Tuesday, The Tribune doesn't know of anything better to say than the following essay from Andrew Wright Crawford, in civic Comment, ,^V^s&,ngtoa, D. C., June 16— "Publio health is purchasable." This is the vitally important principle now recognized as basic by all public health authorities.

What is 'the purchase price? Is it the price of prescriptions filled In drug stores? Is it the price of taking those afflicted with tuberculosis to sanatoriiims? Is it the price of curative processes? Or la it better preventive processes?

We all know perfectly well that In the case of health one ounce of prevention is worth tons of cure. Paries, p.luygrounds, pure water, pure air, and decent housing are prevention.

ever, participate in the march to Berlin. It will be an allied and not merely a French undertaking.

If, on the other hand, Germany accepts the treaty, the British, Belgian and American contingents of the army of occupation will be reduced till they are mere nominal representations of the three nations. The army in Germany will be almost wholly French.

France is willing to do practically all the work and assume practically all the responsibiity. But she does not desire the task of the occupying army to appear as a purely French task. It may be a French army, but the work it will do will be in behalf of all the allied democracies. To make this clear there must be some representation of the other nations.

It is now reported tfl»t the American representation will consist of one regi« ment. Measured numerically this will be very unimportant but if the Germans at any time' decide to "start something" they will be acting not against France alone but against America and Great Britain as well. The one American regiment and perhaps thre« or four British regiments will be France's assurance of support in the event of future trouble. They will stand temporarily in the place of a binding treaty of alliance.

Americans will not be opposed to American" soldiers taking this small share of the common responsibility. The regiment will be recruited by voluntary enlistment for this special service and will be composed of men not averse to the work of soldiering In Europg, It will be America's visible assurance that her support of the principles on which the allies fought the war has not ended with Germany's submission. It will be America's promise that Justice must prevail in the world^

DurinK this configuration it is wise to maintain VflrmnfiSss of opinion and & positi\ int ss of motive that will prevent all uncertain action.

It is a fairly fortunate day for seeking positions or appointments, for Uranus imparts sympathy and understanding to persons in the sun, to whom applications are made.

Tha stars promise succcss for aviators. Journeys begun today should be lucky.

Inventors are subject to the best possible direction during this configuration.

Saturn, helpful in the early part of this day turns to sinister sway later. Farmers may lose good crops, owing to disaster or storm.

The planets foreshadow many deaths of prominent men and women. Celebrities of various callings will end their career before-ahe next frosts, the seers declare.

Labor continues under a planetary guidance making for discontent. Trouble among leaders is foreseen. Radicals will gain in power and old counselors will be set at naught.
