WHY THE LEGION FAvoRs BoNus

George F. Kearney, in Leslie's.
 Ihere has been very great deal said about the lack of idealism dis played by the returning soldier in his insistent demand for an adjusted compensation, or bonus,, It has been most gloriously said that soldier in this last war could never feel com pensated for the effort and sacrifice he made in the great struggle.
 But what, asks the demobilized soldier. if the sacrifice has turned out in vain? How do you think we feel as members of great crusade. in d war that was to end wars, who returned home only to find no such purpose actuating the statesmen who are attempting the peace settlement? Suppose you invested your whole life in this most glorious of all struggles to bring new era of peace and good will into the world and found. later, that the promises were only dazzling adjectives that sputtered out when the selfish interests among nations asserted themselves.
 This disillusionment over the fail ure of our war aims is at the basis
 of the intelligent ex-soldier's ap- proval of the campaign flor adjusted compensation There are many men among us who felt we could never be repaid for the service rendered ill the last war Yet when we came home and read how ignominiously the ideal. istic programme of America was de- feated at the peace conference. with an exultant howl from our own Sen ate chamber, we were forced to look upon the question of adjusted com pensation from a slightly different point of view.
 Moreover we experienced the tri- umphing of the same selfish spirit when the demobilized soldier set ou' to hunt for his job. The men whc l stayed at home had profited i'm mensely by the scarcity of labor while. .we earned our dollar a day Moreover. received the impression

MERCHANT BUREAU. OUT FOR BUSINESS.
Tuscaloosa lnaugurates Early Closing, Monthly Trade Day
 and a Farmers Day

Tuscaloosa. September 5.-(Spctial) The adoption of uniform closing hour for all merchants, limiting the voting power of each member, recognizing the bureau so as to eliminate indi- vidual liability discussion of a monthly trade day and adopting of a regular monthly meeting night were among the important problems before the merchants bureau at the call meeting held in the chamber of com merce auditorium Friday night. Some 50 of the 62 members were present, all of whom entered into the discussion or the different problems. That the merchants intend to get re- suits and action through cooperation was clearly demonstrated by the methods by which each problem was handled
 The first problem placed before the organization was with reference to closing on Labor Day on being in- formed that no celebration would be held in Tuscaloosa this year, a mo- tion was passed to remain open.
 O'Clock Closing
 The problem of o'clock closing was freely discussed by a large num- Der of the merchants present. The consensus of opinion favored a 6 o'clock closing regulation by all mer- chants except meat markets, grocery stores. which should close at 6:S0 and drug stores at 10, except pay days and Saturdays.
 The following resolution was unan- imously adopted: That all merchants except grocery stores, meat markets and drug stores close at o'clock, meat markets and grocery stores at 6:30 o'clock, and drug stores at 10 o'clock, except pay days and Satur- days
 Trade Days
 The question of a regular monthly trade day was referred to the com- mittee on ways and means and each merchant was asked to mail sugges- tions to the secretary of the chamber of commerce who would refer same to the committee, and the best sugges- ton would be used as a special at traction for the proposed trade day.
 MT F. S Brasfield spoke on the ad- visibility of designating monthly trade day for farmers, when the far mer could bring his surplus produc- ton to town and trade not only with the city people. but also among them selves This idea" stated Mr. Bras field. has proven successful in many small towns, and should be a big drawing card for Tuscaloosa"
 The regular monthly meeting of the merchants bureau will be held the first Monday nie>t ii> each month.

that the country entertained It's own private opinion of the returning sol dier who had been so foolish as to drop everything when an exemption from military service, and good pay at a war industry, could be secured so easily.
