Too DifHcult For the Captain to Get the

tain of Chang as he pointed at the Chi
nese characters shortly after the laundry
delivery plan was inaugurated.

The captain didn't see, but set at
work TO do SO, and for several weeks
studied the writing that Chang Lee
brought To him on each returning Thurs
day. He searched the Libraries for such
Chinese literature and leXicOns as they
held, examined laundry tickets and read
the signs III Mott street i'll the hope of
being able TO learn how Chang Lee ;
characters conveyed the idea of the
name of Smith, but he made an utter
failure. Finally he decided to appeal to
Chang Lee.

visit.
Yes -
Can you tell me how you get Smith

pointed at the characters, with an ex-

The efforts being made TO protect
bidulously inclined pensioners from the
rascality of INSCRIPTIONS liquor sellers
should be followed out TO IA successful
conclusion. Pension days and drunk
en- bouts are one and the same to manN
old soldiers, and while Trey may have
been able to vanqush an enemy on the
battlefield, they are absolutely helpless
in the hands of rum-Sellers. One way
to prevent their money from becoming
prey to sharks would be to hand
it over to guardians to be dlsbursed
for the purchase of articles of nccessi-
ty. But that does not seem salts
factory method of disposing of the
question, nor would it be rigl to de-
priye the veterans of the comfort Of
spending what they earned at SO great
a sacrifice. The main difficulty seems
TO be the temptations offered in saloons
that cash pension checks to accommo-
date pensioners. If certain banks in
cities and towns were named as repOsi-
tories of pension funds and the checks
could be cashed only at these place by
the pensioners themselves, or their inn
mediate relatives, or their designated
assignees much of the evil of squander-
ing pension money for liquor might be
avoided. 1t can be done no other way
IN justice to men whose only failing is
al appetite for drink, aud all attempts
to place their money in the hands of
guardians to be doled out at their
pleasure should he abandoned as inn
practicable and unjust.

In all the conferences that have
taken place between the various com
mitteeS of congress, the secretaries OF
the war and of the navy, and army and
navy officers, one thing has been en-
phaSiZed more than any other, and
that Is the necessity for more guns.
They are needed for vessels, and they
are needed for Notifications and more
for coast defense purposes than any
other Experts have stated that fOrti-
ticatiOns to serve IA temporary emcr-
gency, can be thrown up in a hurry,

ing conditions that may lead to war

government has gone about any prepa-

could hardly be less prepared to fight

world as hostile fleets and guns that
can throw shells distance of eight To
eleven miles. If an individual were to

A careful reading Of the proceedings
of congress would lead one to think
that that body is better qualified 20 care
for the interests of other nations than
il is to look after the welfare of the
American people. For the last six
years the country has suffered for the
want of energetic legislation action on
the financial question, and even now,
while our national debt is piling up at
the rate of nearly 5000, 100000 year,
congress keeps fading away at issues
of comparatively little importance. 1t
is admitted by both branches of con-
gress that more revenues are eeded TO
meet the ordinary expenditures of the
government. For the past six months
of the present fiscal year the expenses
exceeded the receipts by Sl5, 1927, 1922.
Unless a change is made in our revenue
policy there is every reason to believe
the end of the year will double the
amount. There is also strong pro-
liability that nearly 500, 100000 will
be appropriated for coast defenses and
unless a special issue of bonds is or
dered TO meet this extraordinary eX-
pendture there is considerable unccr-
tainity as TO where or how the money
can be raised. II would seem that
under such circumstance the politicians
of congress would drop their contro-
verses and unite on plan of action to
increase our revenues, but they continue
TO quarrel as to the cause of the deficit
without attempting to supply remedy.
Gentlemen of congress you can make
this a business congress by giving the
country some business legislation.
