WHAT EVERY VETERAN KNOWS.

That propagandists taught us to
hate and administers taught us to
kill. We will gladly forget hating
and killing if the propagandists and
drillmasters will let us.
That the fight between capital and
labor is based on the selfishness and
greed of men. We are frequently
to our position in life at the moment,
but we yearn with all the earnestness
in our being for a condition of soci-
ETY. in which we might freely guide
our life by ambition, truth, energy
and the love of God, home and coun-
try, instead of engaging. in class
struggle to take something away
our class.
That one way to prevent it was to
take all the profit out of it.
That if we had the eloquence of
Jesus of Nazareth We would plead
with those of our brethren who have
profited by war, SO that they would
with gladness of heart and free
spirit give all that they have profit
ed to the end of making war impos-
sible
That Andrew Carnegie who made
a fortune manufacturing the tools
of war, was unable to prevent war
by the spending OF part OF that
fortune.
That all of the material prosper
ity in the world is not one-half so
precious to the mother of one who
lies in France as a single hair OF her
sons head That America can JUS
tify itself in her eyes only by making
good the ideals for which he gave
his life.
That taking a profit from war and
from the tools Of war is taking
profit from death.
That we did not fight and fight
we'll because we hated the enemy.
We fought we'll because we loved
truth, courage and the ideals of
free people. Our comrades died we'll
because they believed in us, our
cause and our victory. Unless our
country is true to those ideals we
fought in vain.-The Stars and
Stripes.

WASTING TIME WHILE TALKING
OF ECONOMY.
G. o. y. Refuses to Adopt Budget to
Cut Expenses.

without so much talk would find
welcome from the people is the
opinion Of Representative Byrns OF
Tennessee, ranking Democratic
member on the House Appropriations
committee. His remarks were in
reply to many speeches by the Repub-
preparations and to their declara-
lions that the total authorizations by
Congress during the next year must
not exceed $4,000, 100000.
I'VE should get down to business
and devise a system by which we
may know accurately the financial
demands upon our government,
said Mr.. Byrns. 1--WE, should create
an efficient budget system. Then we
about what should and what could
be DONE"
Republican leaders in the House
are emphasizing (for political rea-
sons) the necessity for drastic
economy. Representative Good of
Iowa, chairman of the Appropria-
tons Committee, made long speech
demanding taht the total appropria--
lions be limited to four billions OF
Sentative Mondell, Republican floor
leader, delivered a speech so similar
to Goods that it might have been a
copy with only a change here and
there. A few days later, Senator
Smoot came along with another Of
fering for public consumption.
Mr.. Byrns points out however,
that the official record in the House
is not in keeping with these speeches.
He shows that Representative Butler
of Pennsylvania, chairman of the
Naval affairs Committee. presented
a bill to increase the communication al
lowances of naval officers without
giving any special consideration to
the enlisted men. The bill took some
what more than three millions of
dollars a year and though some OF
his Republican associates protested
Representative Butler, with the as
sistance of Mondell. showed the bill
through. A few days previously, a
bill providing for another phase OF
educational work and Duplicating
the work being done in many States
was forced through even though it
was conceded it would take millions
of dollars year from the Treasury.
The Republicans are preparing to
present a public building bill which
will shake the Treasury as no other
bill ever did in previous admins
trations. The bill is prepared now
and it is being considered with the
thought of presenting it, formally
if it is decided it can be put over"
without too much criticism. Other
similar grabs are prepared and in
course of preparation and if there is
no public protest, they will work
their way into the House before this
session is ended.

LET THE FACTS BE RENE1l-
RERED.

There should be no forgetting the
fact that in resuming its sittings
after the holidays, the Republican
Congress begins the second month
of it's regular session faced by all
the big problems that pressed for
Much time has been wasted; little
has been accomplished.
With Presidential campaign only
a few months distant there is every
likelihood that the Republican lead
ers will attempt to evade and tenn
porize, lest their political chances be
affected by their votes on vital legis-
lation. Courage and unselfishness
will be required to deal with many
of the important propositions which
are pending in this Congress. Part
isan considerations will have to be
ignored if the country is to have the
action which it's needs demand.
Taxation is one subject which can
not be safely considered from the
viewpoint of partisanship. 1t must
have attention, nevertheless, and the
Republican majority know it is a
delicate question. Judging from the
recent past, the Republican managers
of Congress will undertake to defer
looking to a reduction or revision
of present taxes.
Some disposition of the railroads
will have to be made, but that too, is
likely to be modelled accordingly to
the exigencies of Republican politics
rather than in response to public
necessity. Adequate provision for
soldiers and sailors who fought in
the World War has not been made
by the Republican Congress, not
withstanding many boasts and prom
Uses by leaders of the G. O. P. The
former fighters will doubtless learn
that it was their votes that were
sought and not their welfare.
There is only one sort of activity
that can be expected of the regular
That is a constant opposition to the
President and a continuance of the
investigations" from which the
leaders of the Senate and the House
of Representatives hope not for re-
form or improvement, but for motor
iety for themselves and publicity for
their party.

Everett Colby, who has just been
appointed to committee whose
somewhat formidable task is to help
the Republicans steer safe course,
points out that his party has been
without a program or policies either
domestic or foreign. With his
statement on that point the coun-
try will agree with Mr.. Colby. 1t is
doubtful, however whether Senator
Lodge or Representative Mondell will
concur. It will be a reflection on
their guidance of the Republican
majority in their respective branches
of Congress. The nearest approach
either of these leaders has made to a
policy WIS first to discover what
President Wilson recommended or
favored and then to oppose it.

PUBLIC HIGHWAYS
FOR PLEASURE AS
WELL AS BUSINESS
Supreme Court of Iowa So
Held in Deciding Case in
Which Woman Coaster Sued
TeamSter for Injuries.

DIES MONIES, Ia.-Coasting rights on
Iowa highways have been defined by
the state supreme court.
The law recognizes no favorites in the
use of highways, and children may
coast or play thereon with as much
right as the driver of a twin six au-
tomobile, the highest court of the state
declared. In it's decision the court
said; THE titled traveller with his
coach and six, thanked by outriders, has
no higher or better right to the public
roads than has the patient squaw with
her pony, dragging a primative travels
which bears her blankets.
''lf, for example, boys are playing fox
and geese or the road, they are no less
entitled to their rights than if they
We're soberly making their way to school
or to a funeral,
ut can not be conceded that coasting
upon a public highway is an illegal act
or a nuisance"
The courts decision was on an appeal
from a damage suit in Pottawatomie
county, in which a young woman sued
and obtained a Judgment for damages
from the driver of a team who refused
to give road so she could pass on
her sled coasting down hill. She was
injured in the collision. The defendant
contended that she was guilty of con-
tributory negligence because, he said,
highways Were not for coasting,
