The Soldier Boys and the Bonus.

The Soldier Boys and the Bonus.
There is strong movement, up
on the part of the American Legion,
to get Congress to pass law, grant
ing some sort of lump cash payment
to the men who served in the army.
If this bonus is big enough to
amount to much, it will represent
close to FOUR billion dollars-two
billion would be the minimum.
1t is a big sum of money, and a
good many tightwads are trying to
sidestep handing it over. But the
arguments. in favor of the reward
to the soldiers, are pretty hard to
answer The soldier had to give
up his Job, or his business and per-
form the most difficult, and the
most dangerous service, for his
country, at nominal pay. The
men who stayed at home. either
received big wages, or else they got
high prices for their wares and pro-
ducts.
The soldier ought, at least, to
have part of this difference be-
between what he resolved when
he was in the army, and what
he would have had an opportunity
TO earn if he had remained in civil.
ian life, awarded to him, by the
government he served, in time of
peril.
This talk about the soldiers be-
ing degraded and Inundated by
bonus is too silly for words. Did
bonus shame the ship workers?
Did it cut the proud spirits of the
railroad men? Has it offended the
self-respect of the post office en-
ployes? Lets not hear any more
of this bunk about the boys not
wanting this money, because it
would hurt their pride to take it.
They are certainly entitled to it,un-
der the circumstances, and it
doesn't degrade or shame any man
to receive what is rightfully his

COLBY NOT SEEKING
 CHAIRMANSHIP JOB
Stamps Rumors as Unfounded and Says He Is Not Even a
 Receptive Candidate

Washington, June 19.-Bainbridge Colby declared in a statement today that he was not even "a receptive candidate for permanent chairman of the democratic national convention. He said:
 '"The report persists that I am to be permanent chairman of the demo- cratic convention. This report has no foundation. The organization of the convention and the choice of it's officers are matters which the con- vention itself will decide.
 "I am not even a receptive candi- date for the position of permanent chairman. There are many members of the party with much stronger claims upon its recognition and who richly deserve any honor in its gift. I am going to the convention with no other thought than to cooperate heartily with my fellow delegates from the District of Columbia and to participate in the deliberations of the convention modestly and I hope help fully.
 'I shall leave at the last possible moment and return to my duties in Washington the moment the conven- ton adjourns."
