FEDERAL SOLDIER BONUS.
1.-THE Des Moines Register.1

The ten members Of Wlscorsin's
congressional delegation have agreed
upon a soldiers bonus bin and have
presented 1t to their confreres. II is
based on the bill which became law
at the recent session of the Wisconsin
legislature. The compensation, as pro-
vided IN the bill recommended by the
Wisconsin congressman, is TO amount
to $50 a month for each month spent
in the service and is to be paid in
government bonds at par. such bonds
to be known as service bonds.
The law adopted by the Wisconsin
legislature. for that state, is the
foundation upon which the bill provid-
Ing n large. federal bonus is based.
Soldiers, salons marines and nurses
from Wisconsin. who spent at least
three months in the service are en-
titled TO the benefits Of the two laws
recently passed. The state will pay $50
a month for the education of these
service folks, a four-year college
course being permissible under the
law. Persons who take the money
bonus of $40 a month, provided for in
another bill. may return the amount to
the state, within five years, and avail
themselves Of the educational advan-
tages conferred by the bill here cited.
Sixty days notice must be given to the
school by the soldier who expects to
attend the institution. Furthermore, a
service man or woman may take the
cash bonus of SO a month and at the
same time be given a correspondence
course free in the University Of Wis
consin.
Wisconsin thus provides a cash
bonus or an education. as the soldier.
sailor or nurse may desire. Wiscon-
son has gone further than Minnesota
and presents a better law upon which
Iowa can build at the special session
OF the Legislature next winter. With
state and federal bonus both provided
for the service man and woman will
begin to see that he who sacrifices and
serves Is not always forgotten by those
who are kept at home and who hold
the public purse-strings.

THE MINERS WAGES.

There Is q great deal Of loose talk
about the earnings OF miners. but one
of the companies has given out list
OF workmen In one mine that shows
what can be done, and what has been
done The names Of the miners are
attached to the list so that the state
ments may be verified or challenged.
A period of forty-fire days, during
which the mine was operated steadily
is taken as the unit of time. It was
possible for every man to put in his
forty five days, but none of them did
80, a few working foTty-two days and
some only thirty -one days, or two out
of three. Here Is the list of names,
together with the number Of days
worked in the first column of fig
ures, the average daily earnings Of
each and the total earnings during the
forty-five days-it will be seeh that
those who worked only thirty one
days out of forty-five earned at the
rate of $3.50 a month. with one-thlrd

Major Pole Cat did as he was told,

fresh chicken very much.
In the morning when the hunter
went to his chicken coop he noticed

he counted his chickens and found

THAT KILLING At clAslHnA.

A trial in in progress at Clarinda
where a polio nan is being tried for
murder. II Is TO be gathered from the
rather indefinite news reports that the
policeman was attempting TO control
some Young men who were disorderly
and that one of the disturbers, re-
turned soldier. was urged by his COM
panion to take the gun away from the
policeman. The policeman says the
soldier struck at him and thinking
that his assa!lant was armed he fred
with fatal result. Now he is being
tried for murder.
There are two sides to the matter.
Without much doubt the officer was
too ready with his revolver. However,

the gun away from the policeman he
did something that in the service he
knew well would nave been considered

Indeed. he would have done better 10

nine times out of ten is the more ef-
fective weapon OF the two and entirely
sufficient for the Quelling Of street
rows. But neither the soldier nor a
policeman should permit any person
to take his weapons away from him.
The policeman is between the devil
and the deep seas OF public opinion. II
he takes a licking he's done. II he

THIS IS THE BIRTHDAY OF
Lucan,
IS IT YOURS?
NOV, 8, 500 A. o.


Lucan was the poet Of the so-calied
Silver Age Of Rome, the Rome of
Caeser and Nero and Antony. He was
much read a few generations ago, in
deed. such immortal poets as Shelley
and Southey thought him superior to
Virgil. That we do not read his 81 eat
poem '.Pharsalia" In our schools In
preference to vereirs "Aeneid." is due
partly to the fact that Alexander Pope.
with his excellent judgment Of poetry
said that Lucan only attained in spots
the fire that burns equally In oil Of
virgirs productions. Yet Lucan is less
read today than he deserves.
He was the only poet Of the Roman
republic. Otherwise II might have been
truly said that the republic form Of
government in Rome did not inspire
the Roman muse. His Pharsalia traces
the deeds Of Caesar In his crossings OF
the Rubicon, his victories in Spain end
