AN EDIFYING CIRC l MSTANCE.
The eircuni-tance that employers throughout the
Vnlted Stales with practical unanimity took the side
of the workmen in the controversy over the twelve
hour day in the steel industry is edifying. It indi
cates that after all it is not usually those earnest
men who strugle to meet payrolls, and labor for a
profit with the idea of keeping their business or in
dustry living and. if possible, expanding and im
proving. rather than to hoard money, who are the ex
ploiters of labpr. Usually they feel the responsibili
ties of being employers. They often keep their busi
ness going full blast at a loss rather than to reduce
its activities for a time for tho very purpose of
giving employment to faithful men and women who
depend upon their weekly pay checks for a living.
The real exploiters cf labor are those who en
deavor to use ihe workingmen for sinister personal
rr political purposes. The man who excites discontent
and class-hatred for the purpose of gaining leadership
for himself, cithei as a professional agitator or as a
pretended representative in public office, ihe one who
offers no real remedy for any ill, real or imaginary,
is the enemy of the laboring man. The enterprising
emplcyer who gives man work, treats them fairly
end pays them regularly, who works early and late
for the purpose of creating the employment by keep
fntr liici linrinna mi o n i>n fit o 111 n Imco
of the laboring man and thn example that inspires
him to become an employer himself Latinr is not
helped by tearing things np by the roots. Laboring
men cannot be elevated by pulling down employers.
Agitators and political mount banks and demagogues
create nothing but turmoil and produce nothing but
difficulties for employer and employee.
A va: t majority of employers take deep interest
In the welfare of their employees. Rare, inded, is the
employer who is net ready te co-operate with those
who work for him. Partienlatiy is that true when
the employees gUaw Interest in t]iq employer's busi
ness or inclination to co-operate with him. There
fore, the man who attempts to teach workingmen to
believe they have do ilitere f in tile welfare and
prosperity cf their employer’s business is also an
enemy of labor.
SENATOR EDGE AM) THE BONUS BILL.
Senator Kdgc of New Jersey, who opposed the
soldiers bonu- bill that was vetoed by President
Harding Iasi winter, has announced that he will
support the right sort :f a bonus bill In the next
Ccngre « and expretv. s the tielief tlia one can be
passed. The New York Times takes Senator Edge to
task for his "change or front" and intimates that
the circumstance.-- that he will be a candidate for re
eled Ion next year and that his colleague, Senator
Frclinghuysrn who voted with him on the bonus bill,
was defeated last year by a landslide majority are the
cautos for the change.
President Harding did not give opposition to the
principle of the boni s bill us his reason for vetoing
It. He oppos'd the hill because Congress did not
provide for the payment of the cost which he esti
mated would iti th* end amount to about $4,000,
000,000. President Harding took the position that
If we are to pay a bonus we must pay it in real
money and that the only ways to get real money
are through taxation or borrowing, and Congress did
not provide for the taxalion or the Issuance of bonds.
Perhaps there is no Inconsistency in the position of
Senatoi Edge after all.
PRESIDENTI AL SECT ESSION ACT.
The Prerid' nlial Suceesttlon Act, which provides
for (lie sucre ion in the Presidency in case a va
cancy should occui in both that office and the Vice
Presidency, was passed after tile death of Vice-Presi
dent Thomas A. Hendricks, during tife first Admin
istration of President. Cleveland. The succession falls
upon Cabinet officers in t in* following order. Secre
tary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of
War, Attorney-General, Poestmaster-General, tiie
Secretary of the Navy, and Secretary or die
Interior The oilier Cabinet officers. Secretary
of Agriculture, s . retary of Commerce and Sec
retary cf Habor. have been created since the
passage of the Presidential Succession Act, and they
were not mentioned in it; therefore, the occupants
of those posi'ions are not in line of succession.
Tile question of the Presidential succession was
much dlecufssed during the Administration of Presi
dent Madison after the death of Vice-President K1
bridge Gerry which occurred a year after the second
inauguration cf Madison; that of President Tyler, who
userndrd to the Chief Kxecutlveship after the deatli
of President William Henry Harrison; that of Presi
dent Fillmore, who me edei to the Presidency
upon tiie death it President Taylor; that of President
Pitre? after l hr death of Vicc-Pri. ident William It.
King, who died shortly after Pierce’s inauguration;
during the Administration of President Grant after
the death of Vic--President llrnry Wilson, who died
two years liftt r the second inauguration of Grant;
altd during the Administration of President Arthur,
t.*' ' ."i
who succeeded to the Presidency upon the death of
President Garfield.
Vice-President Hendricks died a few months after
the inauguration of President Cleveland for the first
time in 1885. and the matter of the Presidential
succession again became a matter for discussion. The
Congress which convened in 1887 the Forty-ninth,
passed the Presidential Succession Act, which Is now
the law.
Let us hope that George T. Jackson, formerly
General Manager of the Alaska Gastineau mine,
and \Y. A. Castleton, President of the Hirst-Chlehago!
mine, may exercise the option which they have on
the Chichagof mine and reopen the property. It is
understood that if they do Mr. Jackson will * li c
have general charge of the development of the Hlrst
I Chichagof mine. Working mines and other industries
: which employ labor are Alaska’s greate-t developers

Mr. Gompers Asks Questions.
(Cincinnati Enquirer.)
Senators Ladd and King have gone to Russia tc
ascertain what is going on over there. Mr. Gompen
is net friendly to tire Soviet Government. He pro
poses -line questions to the distinguished Senators
He Is emphatically opposed to the recognition of thi
prr ent Government of Russia by this Government
j He is opposed to this program because the authoritiei
I at Moscow believe that American institutions shook
lie destroyed, and because these authorities maintair
an unremitting propaganda in this country whosr
object frankly Is to accomplish the downfall of the
republic.
Everybt dy is aware of this Soviet activity in
America. And. as Mr. Gompers says, "America liar
been invaded by a horde of revolutionists from Soviet
Russia who have sought by means of deception and
I intrigue to destroy the organizations which American
labor has set up for its own protection. So constant
land diligent have been the activities of these agent*.
| of disruption that the officers of the American Federa
jtion of Labor and Its constituent bodies have been
(compelled lo guard the Integrity of its unions with
| Hie utmost waehfulness."
Mr. Gompers points to the fact that the recent
Farmer-Labor convention at Chicago was "captured"
bj the Communists, masquerading as "workers," under
Mjiiiiu: i nsi ruui ions 110111 iviysruw.
Mr. Gompcrs naturally wants the distinguished
| Senators to inform the public on their return to this
i country whether tree speech and free press are rec
ognized in Russia; he demands to know whether
| labor is free in Russia; he does not want the as
surances of the Soviet authortiies that these priv
lilcgcs exist, but he wants the facts, as ascertained
without the flattering assistance of said authorities.
| He is opposed to entering into any relations with
j the Soviet Government until lie can be convinced that
it has not established a rigid right and tyrannous
hcirarchy. has not throttled the press, denied freedom
I of speeech, subjugated the working classes and ex
I ailed revolution in the interests of Bolshevism as the
j religion of the new reformation.
Mr. Gompcrs has had investigations made In Rus
sia; he has been made painfully aware of the as
sumptions and malign activities of Soviet agents in
jthb country; he demands that these Senators bring
home the truth and not a credulous report founded
| upon the solicitous expositions of the blessings oi
; Sovietism as interpreted by the men who now rule
ith.it devoted land through the power represented bj
I legions of bayonets in the hands of pampered hireling
I soldiery.
Presidents’ Sons.
(The Nashville Banner.)
, Presidents’ sons have rarely been assertive. Tin
- first of whom we have any knowledge was Join
Quincy Adams, who was on the way to his dis
! tlnguirhed career when his father was President. 1
was not as the son of a President that ho achieve!
the Presidency for himself hut despite it. He neve
made capital of his father's eminence hut stood 01
his own -entitlements.
Martin Van Huron had a son who was a very dls
I tinguished social lender. They called him Princt
, John, far his excellent manners and lavish hospital
Illy. The sons of Lincoln and Grant kept modestly
jin the background of public and social affairs, as di<
Webb Hayes, son of a President.
Benjamin Harrison had a son, Russell, who play
| od tip the game quite considerably. Once, while it
I London, as we recall it, lie was asked what his posi
I tlon was in America. “Oh, about like the Prince o
i Wales over here,” he replied. The statement provoket
much levity and resulted in Russell's quick extlnc
I tlon. I1-- I- still living, but the world lias passei
j him by.
Lincoln's only surviving son lives in Washington
j Ho was a success in the world of affairs, and is livin*
i<»uL his life 1n the quiet, ease and dignity that hi
likes and is so becoming.
Roosevelt’s boys w-ere ehilldren when he wai
in the White House. One died in France in thi
(performance of a gallant and daring act and tin
I Olliers are proving worthy of their distinguishec
li neage.
Andrew Johnson had a son who was much it
evidence during the period when his father wai
r icMunii. tie uh ratner wild but always good
! raluredly so and died in his early manhood.
Young Richard Cleveland achieved distinction a
Princeton, served with credit during the World War
has since graduated at Yale in the law. He come
i of sturdy stock on both sides, and is a steady, har<
| worker as was bis father. Those who know bin
i predict a successful carere. lie may keep away fron
| politics. Should he ever, however, go out for politlca
honors, he will find many admirers of his father ti
I give him cheer and support.
All in all. our Presidents have been men of loft
purposes, notable ability and have carried themselvo
well in the big role, and tiieir sons have done noth
ing to sully Iholr fame.
A cynical contemporary observes that Mr. llr.vai
is ihe perpetual candidate for the Presidency; tha
running for President is his way of making a living
No one will deny that the Colonel has succeeded i
business. (Cincinnati Knquirer.)
Cnder the influence of Mr. Harding's trip t
j Alaska the song writres are now busy with the ol
homestead down where Ihe aurora borealis glows.
(New York Post.)
Haziness now is defined lo be a disease. It ma
be t hat. but. If it is, wo know darn well that i
will have to he listed among the incurable disorder
of the rncse. -(Cincinnati Knquirer.)
Still, if anybody had a world peace plan word
$11*0.000 he would be running for President on II.—
(Chicago News.)
When politicians start out to put each other ii
a hole it is usually tile innocent voier who land
there. (New York Post.)
