TELLS OF CONQUERING FEAR
Man Who Won Success Explains How,
Through VIII Power, He oVereaHse
the Handicap Of Difiidenee.

Not long ago the editor Of a news
paper asked one of his reporters to
interview a man who has made his
mark In three fields of endeavOr: law.
politics and business. At first the man
declined to be interviewed. but on the
reporters third attempt to see him he
let him in.
"NOw, young man." he began, by
way OF greeting, 'T haven't time to
talk with you, but I'll do it on one
condition. and that is that You stick
to one question"
The reporter accepted the terms
with alacrlty. This was the young
mans question:
what WAS the most difficult thing
you ever did,"
"Well," said the man after q mo-
ment OF thought. II should say she
most difficult thing have ever done
was to cure myself of the habit OF
diffidence.
"From my boyhood." the business
man went on, 81 was sensitive and
shy to a marked degree. My parents
early recognized that trait in me ana
sheltered me all they could from hard
knocks. My mother especially would
do anything to keep me from suffer

gence. but IL didn't help to make a

The ARMY BONUS

Two recent developments regarding
the military bonus are contradictory.
One is the big majority vote given
by the people Of New York state for
a bond issue of s45 100000 to provide
payments to soldiers and sailors,
such payments not to exceed $3.50 in
any instance. 1t is estimated that
this means tax of $21 on every
family in the state. The other devel-
opment referred to Is the semi-official
announcement made by leaders at
Washington that no bonus legislation
need be expected from the next con.
gress.
A popular vote approves the plan.
The emphasis of that vote seems to
suggest that the people in other
states would probably take similar
action II they had the opportunity.
Yet it is considered unlikely that
congress will approve of national ac.
ton along the same line.
These two positions, however, are
not necessarily inconsistent. Most
people might be expected to vote for
a bonus for the war veterans, out of
sheer goodwill, without giving much
consideration to the question Of
where the money was coming from.
Those who would think of that might
conclude that most OF it would come
out of a minority of heavy taxpayers
and therein they would be about
right. Not every family in New York
will pay that $21, by any means. The
average congressman Is doubtless
just as liberal, and as grateful to the
soldiers and sailors, as the average
voter, but he has to consider more
carefully who is paying the money
and what effect 1t will have or the
public treasury and the public cred
1t. Any legislative body is likely. in
such q matter, to proceed with more
caution. than any electorate.

Encouragement of government en-

useful only If they were given power
to compel labor to migrate, to such

representative body is back of such

never be brought TO pass in the indi.

MT, VERNON BOY
ENDS LIFE IN A
BOARDING HOUSE

The World War, Com
mits Suicide
SUFFERING FROM
TERRIBLE WOUNDS
Body Is To Be Brought To
This City Where Funeral
Will Occur

Suffering from shell snook and ter
ribIe wounds which he received in the
Aroonne drive In the world war, Car
rol Hineer, aged 26, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Hinger Of West High
street, Mt. Vernon, took his life by
sending two bullets near his heart In
a roomlng house In Columbus on
Thorsday evening.
Hinger was terribly wounded in the
war and went to Columbus some
weeks ago to receive treatment 1t is
understood the physicians at a Co
lumbus hospital told Hinger they
could do no more for him. Hinger had
been rooming at the home of Mrs.
B. LaMay 215 North Twenty-second
street during his stay in Columbus.
"I'm disgusted with the whole
world" he shouted, according to Mrs.
LaMay, who told Columbus police of
the shooting. "Pm going to end it
ALL" he concluded, and drew gun
from his pocket. He fired two shots
across the room, then turning the gun
on himself sent two leaden pellets in
to his body. He fell face down on
the floor. He was rushed to st. Clair
hospital, but died enroute.
1t was said that a part Of Ringers
jaw was torn off by bursting shell
during the war. 1t is believed that
his mind was unbalanced due to his
terrible injuries.
Hinger was well known in Mt Yer
non where he lived for many years.
Early in the great war he enlisted in
the engineering corps in Cleveland
and served for several months over
seas.
The remains will be brought to Mt.
Vernon tonight and the funeral will
occur from the home of the parents on
West High street.

GOOD ADVICE. THEN AND NOW

Elihu Root had more to do with the
creation Of the League of Nations
than any other American. President
Wilson excepted. His interest dates
back for years. Many of his ideas are
written into the covenant. His judg-
ment in relation to the league is re.
lied on by millions without thought
of the political campaign from which
we have just emerged.
In August, 1t is now shown. Mr..
Root cabled to Warren G. Harding
from London:
1t is very unwise to declare the
league dead. "** 1t would not
be true. *S*
In my opinion new deal here
from the beginning by abandon
ing the Versailles treaty is i'm.
possible. To attempt 1t would
results of the war and general
disaster involving the United
States. The only possible course
is to keep the treaty modifying
1t to meet the requirements of
the senate reservations and the
Chicago platform and probably in
some other respects.
Keep the simple issue, American
ization," Mr.. Root urged the presi-
Dental candidate of his party. This
was In August. Mr.. Harding had then
been wavering in his leaguge stand.
Finally In October came the candi-
dates Des Moines speech:
1t Is not Interpretation, but re-
lection am seekingg.
Our opponents are persistent
ly curious to know whether if
or perhaps / might better say,
when-I am elected I intend to
"scrap" the league. 1t might be
sufficient to suggest the futility
OF "scrapping" something which
Is already "scrapped."..,
Whatever may have been the SEN
ator's opinion about the state Of the
leagues health through the earlier
weeks of the campaign, he had ap-
parently come to the conclusion by
October that the creature was dead,
Elihu Roots positive statement to the
contrary notwithstanding. Since his
election he has repeated his former
declaration that the league is de
ceased" in an address made the 9TH
er day to friends and neighbors at
Marion.
At the time OF his cabling the SEN
ator in August, Mr.. Root was In Eu-
rope as a representative of the Unit
ed States engaged In an important
enterprise under the auspices OF the
League of Nations, He knew the
league was not dead; that state
ment to the contrary would not be
true" because he had seen the league
In operation. He had no patience
with Hiram JohnsOn's bitter-end dis
courses and he feared exactly what
came To pass-the Johnsonization OF
Senator Harding on the league issue.
The League OF Nations Is no more
dead In mid.November than 1t was in
August when Elihu Root warned the
senator by cable: no more dead than
It was In October when the senator
first found 1t convenient to take def
inite stand on the issue; no more
dead than It was Immediately after
election when the senator made bold
to rejoice In the leagues "decease." T
Stick to "Americaniaation" wat
good advice In August. 1t Is goot
advice now. The League of Nation,
needs the United States, but not one
