wHIcH-BoNus OR A BRlBEa

If this were not an election year the pro-
posed raid on the National treasury in the
way of a soldiers so-called bonus would not
have seen the light of day in the halls Of
Congress.
Its advocacy is not based on gratitude to
to the soldier, but il springs from and Ia
rooted in the rotten politics Of demagogues
in and out of Congress.
Its supporters pirate loudly and patheti-
cally of their patriotic sympathy for the
brave defenders of civilization on fields of
blood" but they deceive no one. Even those
brave soldiers" whose cause they profess
to champion. know in the depth of their
souls that the professions of these politi-
clans are q pretense. a hollow mockery.
They know that the bonus so-called is not
intended as q bonus for gallant service
rendered. but as a bride for soldier votes.
The whole mockery is q reproach to tbs
cause for which brave men and true fought
on. Flanders fields and for which Americas
brave and true toied and worked in field
and factory at home. The latter are no
less brave and patriotic than the former.
Genuine patriots, whether they went to
France or remained at home to feed and
clothe the soldiers in the field, equally obeyed
the orders of their Government, and did
their duty like men. The government should
not discriminate between those who went to
the front or who stayed at home in obedi-
ence to orders. This whole bonus" business
is a sham, a fraud. a shameful insult to
American manhood and should be and will be
SSShtCu " thC ""N
soldiers and citizenry of America. But for
the doughface poltroonery of petty politi-
clans and sordid sorry officeholders no such
proposition would have any support.
All that is said above is dictated by the
true spirit of sincere sympathy for the real
soldier and a sincere desire to do unstinted
honor to, as well as to reward, those who
were disabled or died in battle.
Everybody will agree that the Govern
ment should do these three things: Provide
generously for the dependents of those who
gave their lives for their country care lib
orally so long as they live for those who
are in any way crippled or disabled; take
measures to furnish employment for such as
require assistance; to supply them with en-
ploy ment so far as possible and thus afford
them the opportunity to work and earn
that IS the thing: not to furnish them with
something for nothing, which will help them
only while it lasts. and will leave them really
worse off than they were before.
These three things cover the duty of
the Government in the premises. More than
this deserving soldiers can not ask and less
than this the manhood of America will not
tolerate.
The editor-in-chief of this journal has a
son who served in France. He was not
wounded or disabled in his country's serv-
ice. He is too good a soldier and too proud
to beg for a bonus and too patriotic to ac-
cept it.-Cotton & Cotton Oil News. Dallas.

SEVEN FAMOUS PLAQUES.
The Asiatic Cholera.

The home of the genuine Asiatic Cholera
is in India, whence all the great epidemics
of this disease have had their origin. The
first outbreak of which there is any accur-
ate record occurred in 1917, and the disease
first appeared in Europe in notable degree
In 1S39-42, since which time a number of
epidemics of the disease have revisited that
section. the one in 1866 being noteworthy,
and that of 1892 in Russia. France, Italy
and Hamburg, also being severe.
Asiatic Cholera is epidemic or permanent
In the Gauges delta, whence it generally
spreads every year over sections of India.
In its fight westward it invariably follows
the same course. For instance, in 1917 there
was a violent outbreak at Jessore, India. and
thence it spread to the Malay Islands and to
Bourbon, TO China and Persia. to Russia in
Europe and especially to st. Petersburg and
Moscow. In 1881 it ovcrran Poland, Ger
many and England. and first appeared in
Paris, Ireland and America in 1882.
In 1s49 the cholera pursued the same
route. coming overland from India through
Russia. 1t appeared in Paris on March II.
and lasted until October. In 1885 cholera,
again coming by this route. was less fatal
in Paris. although it lasted for a longer
time-more than a year. The last three epi-
denies reached Europe by way of the Medi-
terranean Sea.
The seventh and last severe visitation of
cholera in Europe was in 1892. when its
route was from the Punjaub through Az
ghanistan and Persia into Russia and across
the Mediterranean to Southern France. Lat
er in the summer the epidemic. appeared in
various parts of Austria and Germany. and
was rrightfully violent in the city of Ham,
burg. In England it was confined. by ex-
cellent regulations. to narrow limits. Cross
ing the Atlantic late in August 1t was ar
rested at the harbor of New York by
half-harbarous but ~effectual methods OF
quarantine and gained no footing in America.
Asiatic Cholera has isited the United
States upon a number of occasions. but the
rigid sanitary methods employed in this
country have prevented it from becoming
an epidemic. 1t was brought by immigrants
to Canada in 1882, and it entered the United
States by way of Detroit and thence it
spread through the West to the Pacific Coast
and south to New Orleans. Subsequent cpl
denies occurred in 1S4l, 1853, 1871, 1888.
1891 and 1898.
OF the mild cases of disease about fifty
per cent die. while more than ninety per
cent die if attacked severely. The nature
and history of the disease had long made it
clear TO the minds of medical profession that
an infectious agency is operative in the
production of cholera; but the actual demon
~stration of the specific germ remained for
the genius of DR.. Koch, who discovered the
"Bacillus of cholera" in Egypt in 1888, a
year after his communications of his still
more important discovery of the cause of
tuberculosis.-N. o. States.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-Since the
war time prohibition act went into
effect there has been decrease of 25
per cent. in the number of alcoholic
women brought into the women's
misdemeanants' court and an increase
of 81 per cent. in the number of ad-
diets to narcotic drugs, writes Judge
MacNeille, of the Philadelphia munic-
ipal court. This statement of per-
centages is based upon statistics for
the period from July 1 to Nov. 1.
Had the cases for the present month
been included in the calculations the
percentages would have been much
higher.
The number of prisoners handled
by the women's court, July 1 to Nov;

were men and 784 women. At that
time the government had many sol
diers and sailors in search of vice Of

space between the trees. But in cult
waiting the crops you must be careful
not to injure the trees.
One of the most famous pecan
trees in Georgia is owned by j. B.
Wight, of Cairo, Ga. For five con-
secutive years this tree yielded an
average income of 500 a year. 1t
was bought in 1892 for So from Will
liam Nelson, of New Orleans, and in
1897 bore pounds. The yield then
steadily increased until in 1909 il
bore 352 pounds.
There are numberless instances OF
famous yields from pecan trees.
Some years ago John West, OF
Monticello, Fla, sold 900 pounds
from one tree.
Two hundred and thirty-eight
pounds were gathered from a 13-
year-old tree one year in Mississippi

pounds of nuts from that grove. Al

WOMEN DRINKERS DECREASE;

This is a decrease of twenty-five Wo-

All the men and nearly all the women

Now, to account for the increase
in the number of women drug adj
diets: A close study of the cases re-
veals that with only one or two ex-
ceptions these. women had always
been more or less addicted to drugs
and nearly all drug users are alcohol
les. With the increasing difficulty IN
obtaining liquor these slaves to slim
ulants have INDUCED more frequent
lv in their favorite drugs. Their con.
dition is the more noticeable because
all persons showing signs of intoxlca'
ton attract more attention now thar
before, and the unusual conduct OF
an alcoholic or drug addict suggests
violation of the law.
With the effective enforcement OF
prohibition, alcoholics will decrease
| for the alcoholic is of sociable tenn
permanent and is not likely as rule
to overindulge clandestinely. The
drug user is a slave to his habit
which makes prohibition of narcotics
more difficult of enforcement.

rent to the fend. Some of them are
now paying SIS and $40 for theIl
daily doses.
Pay High for cake" Drugs.
Even in the matter of obtaining
their drugs these women are cheated
by the low brutes with whom they
must deal if they are to get the GOV.
