Whenever a conscientious editor
does 60 to church on Sunday evening
the chances are some girl will come in
and sit down in front of him, wearing
those large puffs over her ears, and
he'll sit there trying hard to appear
interested in the sermon, while think

head looks like the ace of clubs.-Tar-
pom Springs Leader.
Cheer .up, contemporary; some of
the girls say the style is going to
change, and no matter how it changes
it will be for the better. We saw a
lock of hair two feet long and as big
round as a rolling pin. the other day,
and were told it was going to cost

thirty dollars. So you quit looking at

Hoover wants every family in the
United States to have an "invisible
guest" at its dinner table on Christ
mas day-that is. he wants every
family to give-as much as would feed
one of its own members toward feed
ing the hungry in Europe. A good
idea, but if we don't drive about ten
million loafers back to the farms this
season we may have to ask European
charity next Christmas.

Il is possible that Gov. Cats may
have been done some injustice in the
Langford matter. A number of our
people were told by Langford's mother
tnat the governor and another men,
Ter Of the pardoning board had prom
lsed to be on her side if she brought
IN petition. But we are informed
by AN official, who is in position to
know, that the governor and mem
Der of the cabinet mot of the pardon
ing boardJ only expressed sympathy
Tor Mrs Camp without making any
premises. and on this slight founda-
ton she built her hopes. There is
nobody acquainted with the tragedy
who does not sympathize with Mrs
Camp, or who blames her for trying
to get her boy out of prison, but from
what we hear there is little chance OF
his being released any time in the
next twenty years.

The prediction of the Star made
over three months ago, and based on
straight information, has come true,
and it is officially announced that
Mendenhall will have hearing before
the pardoning board on Dec. 20. No
doubt he has had some assurance. and
the Star has a pretty good idea where
that assurance comes from. But we
extremely doubt that he will be par
doned, if at all. before he is an ole
and broken man. We have positiv,
assurance from two members of the
pardon board that they are agains

at third. We are by no means Ger

The University of Florida has has
indefinitely suspended forty-fve stud
ents for hazing. A rather drastic
measure, but about the only thing that
will bring the boys to their senses.
The Star is informed by some Ocala
boys that while bunch of the stud
ents was entirely too rough, the re-
ports sent out about them were exag-
gerated. We hope this will be the last
trouble of the kind that our greatest
state school will be subjected to.

WHAT SOLDIERS BONUS
WILL COST IN MONEY

The Committee on Ways and Means
of the House of Representative at
Washington is whipping into shape a
bill that, if passed, will give a bonus
to the soldiers of the World War. That
bill will soon be reported to the
House for consideration, together with
suggested means for raising the sum,
estimated at from one to two billions
of dollars, necessary to pay the bonus.
Already the subject has been the text
of speeches in Congress, and news
papers editors in all parts of the
country are submitting comments both
favorable and adverse. Neither the
Republican nor the Democratic party
has taken a stand as an organization
upon the question of bonus, and it is
quite likely that it will not become
a matter for partisan discussion But
it is a problem Of supreme moment to
the people of the country, as it is up
on them that the burden of provid-
ing the money will fall, either as a
present tax upon sales or profits, or
as future levy in the redemption of
bonus bonds. To encourage the intel
ligent discussion of bonus legislation,
but with no thought of creating SEN
timent either for or against it, the fol-
lowing figures, and comparisons of
the treatment already accorded Civil
War and World War veterans are sub !
mitted:
At the close of the Civil War the /
national debt was about $2,775, 900 900 /
or $50 per capita.
The present national debt is about .
S24,70O,O0O,O00 or S225 per capita
In the Civil War there were about
2,S00000 Union soldiers.
In the World War there were about
100000 Americans
In the Civil War the base pay of a
private was about S13
In the World War the base pay of
a private was $50.
In the Civil War there was no ser
vice bonus paid {;
In the World War there mas been 1
a bonus OF $50 paid.
In the second year after the Civil ]
War we paid out a total of S21 1,000.-
BOO for pensions. hospital treatment
and administration for the veterans; !
in the twenty1fourth year s92000,000;
and last year, 1928, 100000
