Condemns the Bonus Grab.

Editor World. Having noticed some Of tho
comment carried in your publication concerning
The bonus for soldiers, and being very much in
tcrcsted In the ultimate disposition Of this prop
osition | shall attempt to state briefly my views
on the subject ana some Of the reasons why
am against any kind Of bonus at this time
All patriotic, red -blooded Americans, whether
service men, or not are against the suggested
proposition that would consider objects of char
ity those who have worn the uniform OF our
country with honor without regard 10 physical
condition, or actual necessity in each individual
case Tho idea Of giving strong able bodied
men who sustained no physical injury or handi-
cap In the service cash consideration for hav-
ing done his duty In the service OF his country
is absurd They do not need It. and they who
haVs a spark uf patriotism in their hoSoms
would not have $1,000 600 dollars additional in
dchtedncss soddcd ON the government at this
lime for this purpose,
It.is true that money cannot pay for tho scrv-
ice rendered had it's basis in our patriotic
service rendered had It's basis i'm our patriotic
duty to our country, and who among w once
thought of money when we were earning our
service straps. whether thcy be gold, blue or
silver The only logical relief for those who
really need help would hc In the form Of loan
At a low rate of interest, To be used FOR pur-
chasing homes either i'm the city or country,
with a mortgage ON the property securing the

enormous national debt, would furnish assist -
tnro fo those " ho really need IT, and last hut
not least would not be an attempt to place a
pocuniarN value ON the service rendered in the
discharge Of our sacred patriotic duty to our
country
II les my opinion that had It not been for tho
efforts Of petty politicians seeking personal
advantages the American Legion would not have
changed It's policy and endorsed tho bonus plan,
and that were r. not Tor the weak -knccd poll
ucilus I'M congress who hoped TO coop the sol
dIvr vote ut tho country, said plan would uItt-
matcly bo defeated. And II is my opinion that

The children seemed o. worry me,
And that's a sign that something's wrong,
I thought OF dreadful things tu bo--
And then | heard a robins song

For | was finding fault an day;
My hands would not obey my viii,
I had no relish for my food,

And was IN "A bitter mood.
Then green appeared upon the trees
And robins broke the day with song.
And from the south there same a breeze
Which brought the scent Of flowers along,
I turned my back upon It all
Dropped every task and stole away.
And went whore neither door nor wall
Make prisoners OF human clay
| watched the white clouds drifting by
And heard tho chirruping OF birds
Found pictures to delight the cyc
And heard no sound of selfish words.
| spent a day with trees that know
Far more than man has ever learned
And could bear my hit ~ woe
