Says Cripples Are in Minority
in Asking Bonus.

To the Editor OF The Times:
1t certainly is getting tiresome to
hear the endless bonus talk from GER
tain ex-service men. and then some OF
them are wondering why they are
not shown the same respect that they
were during the war. I can put them
right on this. When they went into
the war. people took 1t for granted
that they went as the gallant men
OF the civil war, with the spirit
Of patriotism and not for the spirit
Of the American pocket book. In my
talks with many .ex-service men,
and that the men who lost an arm
or leg over there, are the ones who
holler the least, while the men who
merely got inside the doors OF the
training camps are the ones who
want two and three dollars a day.

Who Told Mr.. McAdOO
NOT to Run?
Man Rarely Flees from Sure Presidential Nomina-
ton, When No One Higher Up Pursueth.

Why does Mr. McAdoo say he will not allow his name
to be presented for the Democratic nomination?
Millions Of labor want him, grateful for what he
did for labor when he head of the Railroad Admins
tTation
Many business men would be glad to have him. 1t Is
that his experience in putting the McAdoo tubes
under the Hudson river made him sympathise with the
business mans difficulties especially his financial difficulties
Mr.. McAdoo is popular and able. The fact that he is
the of the President would not hurt him half
much has been pretended
For he is by no means MERELY the son-inlaw Of the
President.
Before he the President he accomplished his
great work. connecting New Jersey with New York by un
ne in the face of tremendous difficulty and thus proved
his power.
He is able citizen.
WHO TOLD HIM THAT HE MUST NOT RUN, AND
THAT THE POWER OF THE ADMINISTRATION
WOULD BE AGAINST HIM IF HE DID RUN? And why
was he told?
That is interesting question and another interesting
question is, WHO IS GOING TO RUN IN HIS PLACE?
This may be predicted Somebody in McAdoo's place,
with platform Endorsement direct indirect Of the Peace
League tackled onto him, will get as fine beating in
Presidential any got since the history of
this nation began.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
On the seventh page OF your issue
Of June II appears cut OF William
Jennings Bryan, over which some one
of your editorial writers has inserted
this descriptive paragraph:
Three times he was the Demo-
cratic Presidential nominee, and three
times he has suffered defeat. an ex-
perience the like of which no other
man in American history has had"
This is seriously inaccurate his
torically. Henry Clay was three
times a candidate for the Presidency
and was three times defeated. His
first candidacy was in 1924, as a Re-
publican. running against Andrew
Jackson, Democrat: John Quincy
Adams. Coalition. and William H.
Crawford, Democrat. In the electoral
vote Jackson received 90, Adams 81
Crawford Al, and Clay 81. No one
having a majority the election was
thrown into the House of Representa-
tives, where Clay withdrew and gave
his support to Adams, who was
elected
In 1882 Clay was again nominated
as Republican. against Andrew
Jackson. Democrat. and received 40
electoral votes to Jackson's 219.
In 1874 Clay was the nominee OF the
Whig party. against James X. Polk,
Democrat. and James G. Birncy. Lib
erty party. and received 105 electoral
votes. Polk receiving 10.
Clay's influence in the election OF
1924 was believed to have resulted in
the election of Adams, and Clay was
afterward called "The President
Maker" and WAS Secretary OF State in
the Cabinet OF President Adams.
After his several defeats for the
Presidency, Clay continued in active
public life. and was a potential po-
litical factor in the great contests
concerning governmental policies
until his death in 1852.

School Controversy Threatens
Efficiency of System
By BILL PRICE.

The controversy the school boards action Super
ntendent THURSTON'S case is getting stage that
bodies no good for anybody and the worst of it is that the
schools may be hurt for years 1t going to
require clever tactfu work somewhere avoid dragging
the entire school system into this affair." and tacfulness will
have to be found outside Of the personalities engaged
in the fight.
Leading citizens Of this city must unite in pretty deter
mined action later to the schools from this squab
ble The schools, the education of Washington children
under most efficient and agreeable circumstances greater
than any any set of men.
This city almost unanimously believes injustice has
been done Superintendent Thurson. The public if
to believe Dr. VAN SCHAICK has been deceived Briefly
people too Ignorant to understand the facts In
that respect they in the class with committed
of prominent Senators who took months investigating and
reached conclusions from testimony that may have
been derived from campaign of lies" msrepresenta-
tion," deception" and propaganda"
1t is clearly apparent that Mr.. Thurston is not to
main at the head of the schools and it just clear that
would not be wise for him to remain there if the present
school board is TO continue.
Voteess, with less political influence than Fpinos,
Washington people powerless That is illustrated in the
of the Rotary Club composed of of the abest,
brightest and most intelligent men of Washington. These
successful in hundreds of professional and business
lines not the kind to be Influenced by Giles "propa
ganda" etc. Yet they put i'll the limeight as
talking through their hats
If it is good for the present Superintendent of Schools
it will also be just good for the schools that they
begin their next years work with new school board and
gone Nothing but the most miraculous work the part
of that board could restore public confidence in whatever
does
The patriotic step for the members of that board to take
Ito wipe the whole miserable situation is to resign
that the District Supreme Court appoint entirely
board the members of which should not be identified in
the with the present controversy and who
and will put the Washington school system ahead Of
personal animosities, jealousies, and pickering.
There is other way to elements Of discord
almost survive this muddle long the inu
Iences control and operate the schools
We can and should have clean slate.
