TOUGH ON GOMPERS

Kerensky kissed Arthur Henderson, the British labor politician, as the American Labor Mission calls him, and all England gasped. Kerensky is coming to this country. He may want to kiss Secretary Wilson or even President Wilson. This has led an anonymous poet to suggest that the President put his greetings into a song, and to furnish him with the song, as follows:

“Salute me only with thy fist,

And don’t attempt to buss me;

The very thought of being kissed

Is quite enough to fuss me.

If you must kiss, try it on Gompers —

He hasn’t been kissed since he wore rompers.”
