Disabled Men In
Training Express
Their Gratitude

Washington, Oct. 3--In handling
any large group Of men there are
always some who feel abused and
complaints of injustice and neglect
are frequently heard. This is partic-
ularly true when the benefits to be
bestowed have financial value.
Real and would-be beneficiaries of
the vocational rehabilitation law are
not different in this respect from
other groups. Some chafe at the
unavoidable delays in establishing
their eligibility for training, others
openly object to the boards decision
in regard to their individual cases,
while many feel real gratitude for
the opportunities afforded them by
the government to re-establish them
selves in business life again.
The following extracts from letters
recently received at the offices of
the federal board for vocational edu-
cation indicate an appreciation of the
efforts of those who are the admins
traitors of the law, which is very
gratifying, not only to. those who are
giving their time and energies to this
work, but to all who have an interest
in the disabled soldiers.
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1919-10-03

From a statement, purely volun
tary, signed by fourteen disabled men
in training at Massey Business col
lege, Birmingham:
In view of the fact that within re-
cent weeks some sensational state
ments have been printed in a certain
newspaper in one of our southern
cities designed to show that the
federal board for vocational sduca'
tion has not kept faith with the dis
abled soldiers in the matter OF voca,
t,onal training, we are issuing this
voluntary statement of appreciation
Of the service which this board has
rendered us.
"As beneficiaries of this splendid
plan which the government has de-
vised for The rehabilitation OF its
disabled soldiers, we resent these
unjust and untrue charges Of this ex'
employee of the federal board ana
commend it's personnel and its bene-
fits to all men who have suffered
vocational handicaps by reason OF
their service in any branch OF the
armed forces of the United States.

THE CASE OF REED.

Lawlessness is never to be con-
doned and especially at this par
ticular time when there is pro-
nounced tendency to disregard
the restraints necessary Tor the
welfare of society, should disord-
er of every kind be discounten-
anced Hence, the conduct OF the
Ardlnore crowd that hooted Sen
ator Reed and prevented INN
from making his speech IS open
TO condemnation However, view
ed in the light of decency and
public interest, the action OF those
who broke up the meeting was
not a bit more reprehensible than
the performance which Reed IS
putting on as he goes about the
country on his tour OF TRADE,
slander and misrepresentation OF
an issue chat vitally affects the
interests of the nation. Two
wrongs never make a right and
therefore we would not be under
stood as palliating disorder but,
considering the offenses OF Reed,
agree in saying that he got just
what was coming to him.
The motives of Senator Reed
are thus pointed out by the Mus
kogee Phoenix:
"IIe/is out to beat the presi-
dent, TO beat the League OF Ma
tions, to dishonor the United
States, to defeat the high hope OF
the world, to make the war
faiIufe; together with anything
else, creditable or discreditable,
which he thinks would hurt his
enemies and add notoriety to the
name Of James A. Reed.
Senator Reed wants to beat the
League Of Nations, because he
hates Woodrow Wilson, second
arily; but primarily, because his
affections, if he has any, his in
terests and his desires are and
have been exactly those OF Hin
denburg and Won Tirpitz. Read
the record and see if any German
in high place labored more unm-
termittingly for Germany S
triumph than this senator of the
United States. Here, at least, he
is consistent. He cannot change
the result Of the war, but he
would nullify it. He wants, at
this day, to separate America
from her allies, to give the lie to
all our words and acts in the
war, to force a separate peace
with Germany and line up with
her for the next attack on the lib
erty of the world and the sane
titles Of life.
"This is enough. To para
phrase sentence from the let
ters of Junius, the amazing thing
is not that this man should so
often be wrong, but that he
should never, by any accident
have taken the noble, the gener-
Gus, the patriotic side. In peace
the competent servitor of every
interest big enough to control his
vote in war the enemy of his
country, and now again in peace

on it the motto no better suited

fernal regions for which it wa
