Postpones Bonus.

DRESIDENT HARDING has the courage OF
conditions to ask Congress not to pass the
soldiers bonus at this session, and to take
the responsibility for the delay. This action fol-
lowed Secretary Melons letter stating that the ef-
feet of the bill, if passed now, would be to still
further depress Liberty bonds, increase taxes, add
the of living and greatly involve the govern
ment's financial policy and program.
There can be little doubt the service will
accept the situation in the spirit of their service
They. or their families and friends, all have Liberty
bonds. They must all equally pay any increase in
the cost of living. Moreover they will realize that
anything which adds to the present depression, to
taxes, to financing the government and industry,
will add to unemployment and make it so much the
harder for themselves to find work
The economic life of people is, so closely in
terwoven that;what affects the few, affects all.
Neither is it possible to so levy taxes to place
the payment of this bonus those who should pay
pay it; that is, on those who made great profits
from war industries and supplies. When it
comes everyone will have to help pay Those who
get it, will all have to pay back part directly
indirectly, SO will the families of all of them,
while those most able may largely escape through
tax exempt securities, otherwise.
Realizing all this, the soldiers of the war will
be soldiers still They had in the war the greatest
experience that could come to them or to anyone.
1t had its great hardshps and greater dangers, but
it had wonderful compensatons None of them
would give up the experience for bonus.
Those who did not get to France regard that as a
denial they quite bitterly resent. Those who got
across and back safe and sound were part of the
worlds greatest adventure, of the most marvellous
period of all history.
For those who were wounded, who shell
shocked, manned invalided there can be no de-
lay. They must be cared for regardless of cost or
taxation. That must mot wait. Congress will not
be excused if it does appropriate all the millions
needed for their care. But those unhurt can and
will wait and will recognize that the President
speaks for them as for all others of the people

The Jew in Business.

The following is a message I

which was read at one of its re-
cent meetings and which ] thought

ers:
According to the Scriptures. in
the early stages most of the Jews
were engaged as farmers in tiuing
the land and at that time disfin-
guished themselves in this vocation.
Later on when the opportunity to
work on the land was denied to
the Jews in most of the countries
they turned their energies to COM
merce and industry. and need
not dwell on the fact that they
have been most successful in that
direction. The main reason for the
success of the Jews as bankers and
in trade has been their integrity
and dependahility which earned for
them the confidence of the COM
nunity. During the Napoleonic
wars when the German Grand Duke
of Hesse left for the front ana
wanted to safeguard his posses
sions during his abse1Se. he did not
deposit his property With any large

small banker of his country with
whom he deposited his wealth with

dukes return from the war this
small country banker. whose name
was Rothschild. handed him back
his possessions with interest added.
That was the foundation of the
great wealth and standing of the
Rothschild family based on honesty

MANY USES FOR ASBESTOS,
FIBER THAT Is A ROCK.

Some facts about asbestos, the
mineral that can be spun into
cloth, are contained in an an
nouncement Of the Geological Sur
vey:
The art OF weaving the mineral
fiber in asbestos. which is ordi-
narily indestructihle. was rediscov-
cred at a comparatively late Pc
riod OF civilization. Woven as
bestos was used in the ancient pyre
to preserve the royal ashes. Char
lemsgne is said to have had q
tablecloth made OF asbestos and TO
have cleaned il by throwing IL into
the fire, which consumed the dirt.
thus illustrating IN a spectacular
manner cne e-the most valuable
properties of this material.
The fiber Of. the best grade Of
asbestos is beautiful and silky and
has great hexibility. elasticity, and
tensile strength. 1t can be spun
into thread so fine as to run 2s5
yards to the ounce. and as IL is in
combustible as well as a noncon-
ductor OF heat and electricity and
resists the action Of most ordinary
acids, its field Of use is large.
The possible applications OF as
hestos are far from fully appreci-
ated not only by the general pub
lie but by manufacturers who are
in search Of material for special
uses TO which asbestos may well
be applied. Perhaps il is most gen.
orally used TO make hreproof cloth
for cater curtains. 1t has been
used also for making fremens
clothing. Everywhere in cold coun-
tries il is extensively employed for
covering furnaces. boilers and pipes
to prevent loss Of heat. Asbestos

he Editor. The Washington Herald:

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
I should like to express my ap-
probation of the excellent editorial
in this mornings Herald on The
Antis' Fizzle" The truth is that a
very wrong impression is often given
by other newspapers concerning the
Eighteenth amendment With a few
exceptions, the dissatisfaction over
the Nolstead act seems to center in
those whose financial interests have
been hit. especially those of foreign
birth. The personal liberty" so
strongly desired by many is liberty
to debauch the people for the sake
of the profit resulting from the sale
OF alcohol in one or more of its
numerous forms.
