In any event. the sponsors of this
bill have had to recognize the imme-
date realities. They have seen that
1t would be impossible, despite the
bedlam they have raised, to pay the
soldiers anything this year or next
year. The closest date at which even
the most ardent advocates OF the
bonus can see any chance for the
Treasury to raise the money for pay
ments in small instalments is in 1928.
And then they. like blind men, have
had to shut their eyes to the five bill
lions or more OF national debt which
falls due in that same year and must
be repaid or refunded.
But. granted that by the year 1923
there may be some chance OF raising
bonus money by selling bonus bonds
and increasing taxes, is there any call
for pushing through the bonus legis-
lation at this early date. after which
it will lie dormant for two years
The only apparent reason discernible
on the surface or beneath It for such
precipltate action is the unworthy
and cowardly hope Of getting votes
in the national Congress elections Of
1922.
When all the danger signals are set
against further national extrava-
gance. when the mass OF the people,
including the ex-soldiers, already are
stripped Of their hard earned savings
by excessive taxes and consequent
inordinate living costs and business
depression, it would be the part of
prudence 10 wait at least until we
have approached nearer to the point
Of economic safety before plungine
ahead with the high speed disburse-
ments called for in the bogus bonus
bill.

and not a strike of any kind at

OF what other man could such
description be truthfully uttered
Yet every one who knows Geners

There can be but one opinion q
Governor Denney's selection, and tha
is that in honoring Coleman du

the nation the ability and genius @

THE NEW SCHOOL BOARDS RESPONSIBILITY.

YRNE vacancy resulting from the resignation OF Dr. Cliff
X ford J. Scott imposes great responsibility upon
the new school Board OF Wilmington. We believe IL will
meet the responsibility in way consistent with modern
business methods and the best interests Of the public
school system OF the city.
It is understood that DR.. Scott will be paid a much
larger salary by the school authorities of the community
to which he has gone than he paid in Wilmington.
This true Notwithstanding the fact that he leaves Will
mington to go to a smaller community.
While it is desirable that public bodies should exercise
the utmost economy the management q public affairs,
it is nevertheless that parsony not economy It
is more insdious and harmful form Of waste than
is extravaganza
Wilmington cannot AFFORD to have second-rate or
hrratc man for the executive and administrative head
Of public school system, It should have the best man
possible and he should be paid salary commensurate
with his ability experience It would be abuse Of
public trust to get nve-thousand-dollar to III
ie-tousanddolar job The chances that nvethousand-
dollar could nn the job satisfactorily few for
such a public body as a school board to take.

ties that the requires 10 be furnished TO the children

Old Fashioned Hornets Nest.

/ Last week T. J. Coonrod brought e
The Index office a curiosity to the
natives of Idaho, at least. 1t is a
hornets rest of the Black Baldheaded
strain, a blood relation of the Yellow
Jacket. The nest is a big one, meas
uring Ia feet long and 312 around.
When the nest was brought in, we
refused to receive it until Mr.. Coon
rod had assured US that he had killed
all the inhabitants by sulphur
smudge. But when we started to
write it up last week, there were at
least so of the hornets crawling
around and several of them were
looking over our shoulder to see what
we were going to say about them. We
quit right there, for we have not for
gotten what happened when as boy
we poked one Of the nests with fish
ing pole. At first we feared we would
die and then we hoped we would.
This nest was built in one Of Mr..
Coonrod's prune trees and ripe prunes
are inlaid in the nest covering. It is
\ wonderful piece Of architecture and
stamps the hornet ~ possessing not
only . sharp posterior, but also y
brainy anterior.

Rnmors unfounded.

The visit of a dozen or more lum-
Der officials to the Boise Payette mill
on Tuesday started the rumor that
the mill was to put on full force of
two shifts and be operated at full
steam until the first of the year. The
rumor grew and grew, as rumors will.
However, the rumor is unfounded. The
visitors were what is known as a
Safety First committee and were re-
presentatives of lumber concerns of
the Northwest, who are conducting a
campaign to reduce the hazard of
accidents. The committee was ac-
companied by c. A. Barton of Boise,
