THE DOUGHBOY AND THE COP

A FTER THREE MONTHS legislative fias-
co what have the much-vaunted repup-
lican friends of the soldiers done in recognl-
tion of the men who served with the colors [!
1t was one thing 10 anathematiZe the democrat
ic administration because the countrys neeos
demanded that some of the soldiers wait for
their discharges. But it is something else'
about which little is being heard, that the SOL
dier should wait upon the partisan eXpedency
of republican congress for recognition ana
legislation to which he is entitled.
Mr. Mann told the house the other day 1t
ought to have vacation and that there was
nothing but Chicken feed" on the calendar at
this time. What of the Mondell bill incorpor-
ating Secretary Lanes plan for reclaiming land
for soldiers? What of the legislation to broad
en- and assist the work of the soldiers insur-
ance company the War Risk Bureau? What
of the Sweet bill for insured soldiers? The
soldiers who couldn't be demobiized speedily
enough are now waiting on the republicans
who want to let committee hearings turn into
Rip Van Wrinkles while the republican house
takes a vacation to bolster up its non-regula-
ton, non-functioning house machine.
There are thirteen republicans and eight
democrats-none of them overapping-on the
public lands and the interstate and foreign
commerce committees, respectively, making

at least can not get away at this time and do
Justice to the soldiers, because one of these
committees has under consideration the land
reclamation plan and the other the soldiers
insurance legislation. Must they delay their re-
ports until republican house has vacation?
Representative Sweet republican, of Iowa.
has offered a bill giving the soldier two years
of insurance free. Other bills have been Of
fered that would establish home-buyng cred
its for the soldiers. Floor Leader Mondell has
offered the land reclamation bill-all these are
in committeeman some of them do not stand
a chance of passing republican congress-
This, together with the amendments to the SOL
diers' insurance act, still under consideration,
constitutes the entire republican score for the
soldiers.
The democrats, who mismanaged the war,
neglected the soldiers in battle, held them
overlong in service and did every other helm
GUS trick partisan republicans can think of, at
least show more generous record. The demo-
Gratis enacted the insurance act; they gave the
man coming out of service at least $50 bonus
at time when the present deprecated value
IF money was not foreseen; they have granted
he insured soldier an eighteen months grace
IN lapsed insurance policies; they gave him
he vocational training act and the disabilities
act; they prepared him to win
ive-years' war in year and a half, and some
'ew other things. And still the republican
friends of the soldier want vacation without
loing anything for him.

your suggestion, what is more appro
pirate than that, as a memorial TO those
who gave their all for us-we erect q
living monument in Central Park in the
form of a building dedicated to the use
of the Boy Scouts of Ardmore? Thus
in remembering our dead, we provide
for our living, provide a headquarters
from which will emanate the Influence
for the things for which our soldiers
good citizenship, bet
ter living and better doing.
\ large building is not necessary.
What is needed by this organization is
II building with n room suitable for
the office of the scout executive,
council room for the executive coun-
Gil and the court of honor, and a larger
room where the various troops of the
city may hold their weekly meetings.
The Red Cross Canteen Hut was erected
for "our boys" and served its purpose
thanks to the support of the
citizens of Carter county and the siren
uous work of The ladies of the Red Cross
chapter; and now that its original pur-
pose of being a benefit and a help to
the soldiers has been accomplished,
would suggest that the city council pro
vide a place in Central Park and that

FOR MEMORIAL
TO SOLDIERS AND SAILORS
Editor Daily Ardmoreite:

Wednesdays Ardmoreite, in its lead
editorial entitled "A Memorial Sugges.
tion," calls attention to the proposition
of erecting a memorial in Central Park
TO the soldiers and sailors who made the
supreme sacrifice, and makes the sug-
gestion that there are more desirable
forms for such a memorial than a mere
shaft of marble or figure of bronze.
Our men who died in the service.
whether death came to them while fac
ing the enemy Hun, or whether it came
to them while in training camps where
they were preparing to take the places
of others who had fallen, gave their
lives for civilization, for god citizen
ship, for better living and better doing.
They gave their lives that we might live
and today the freedom of the world
from the Prussian hand of control is a
mighty monument to them, living
memorial to their fidelity, their cour-
age and their spirit.
Only a short time ago, just a few
years. those men were our boys" in
school, on the streets. playing here or
working there. We saw them, as we
passed them, but-they We're just boys.
We didn't really know them, we didn't
know that they longed for the compan-
ionship of men, that there were ways
which We could be of use to them in
helping them direct their surplus en-
ergy along lines of pleasant accomplish
ment, and we didn't know TILL THEY
DIED FOR US that they would ever
be of help for us.
But now We are organizing for the

The Coming of HeIium Is Heralded

work can hardly be overestimated. One
of the great difficulties, if not the great
est difficulty, with which the airshp
has to contend, is the highly inflamma-
BILE nature of hydrogen, the gas at
present used to fill the huge gas bags.
The advantages of helium are obvious.
1t has about % per cent of the ascen-
sorial power of hydrogen, is non-eXplo-
sive and non-inflammable, diffuses
through the balloon envelope only
about one-half as fast as hydrogen, and
is, to that extent, more easily conserv
ed Even at 10 cents, however, it is
still a very expensive gas for the pur-
pose aimed at, owing to the enormous
quantities required: but, with the pro
gress which has already been made
there seems to be no reason to doubt
that, within a very short time, the cost
of production will be greatly reduced
and that helum will take its place as
one of the worlds great commercial
products.
1t was just so years ago that Jansen

lines had been discovered in the suns

element, unknown on earth. to which
they gave the name of helium. Some
twenty years later. DIR. Hillebrand of

ArdmOreite Means "ArdmOre Rightw
Silly "CHICKEN FEED"

3 EPUBLICAN inability or unwilingnes to
arise to great emergency was never more
ezenly confessed than in a recent debate IL
wgress when Representative Mann OF Illinois
racterzed the legislation now on the con
sssonal calendar as 'chicken feed"
pMr Mann was republican house floor lead.
i'm the last congress and is his party's real
,ler on the floor now. He dominates the So
ped steering committee, which allows moth

THE day following President Wilson's adj
tss to the joint session of congress, when he
flested the immediate enactment of legisla-
!, to strengthen his hands in his fight to bring
sn the prices of foodstuffs and rescue the
pie from the clutch of the porfiteer, Mr..
IN made his striking and brazen character
ion.
MIR. Mann was probably "peeved' at the
eat of his plan for recess, and so far as he
hdividually concerned, he declines to have
vacation plans spoiled by any public busl-
, ), no matter how serious it may be. He very
lkly said so. He buntly served notice that

disposed of at any time, in his opinion.
Among the matters the Illinois representa-
regards as "chicken feed,' it is but natural
ssume, for they are the problems that are
sing for attention, is legislation to bring
| prices down to fair level and stop the
lges of the profteers upon the purses of the
ole; legislation to deal with the railroad
)em, the soldier land bill and the many

recommended.
The American people will hardly agree
Il Mr.. Mann's logic that these are ''chick-
