UNCLE SAM MUST PAY WAR DEBT NOW
 50 YEARS PAST DUE
Fly HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age-HeraId
 300 DaYidann RuiIslinz

Washington, May 12.-(Special.)-. Dem nocratic senators sat idly and su- pinely by. and saw Senator Lodge fur ther enrich the already too rich state Of Massachusetts by $233,SS552.
 In other words, the Senate deter mined that the state of Massachusetts should be reimbursed in that sum for preparations made by it during the Civil war to resist the attack of south ern gunboats.
 It is said that the preparations against the southern ships were made on request of President Lincoln, and that as result the government should foot the bill-50 years later
 The governor of Massachusetts, wil, collect the money if the House follows tho action of the Senate, as it undoubt- edly will. It is anticipated, however that some democratic members of the rouse will voice objection, even though 1t be fruitless. The democratic silence in the Senate was oppressive

DEMOCRATS KEEP
 PRODD|NG ON THE
 SOLDIERS BONUS
No Legislation Until PenroSe and Shoot Give the Word In the Upper House of
 Congress
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age Herald
 300 Davidson Building

Washington. May Special )- The soldiers bonus is again a subject of discussion. Again the democrats are found prodding the republicans, and again the republicans are found dodg- ing the issue.
 Of course, there will be no bonus legislation until Senator Penrose and Senator Shoot give the word. Because of the fact, a colioquy in the Senate this afternoon is of interest.
 Senator Harrison of Mississippi called on Senator Shoot to indicate when the soldiers bonus bill would be reported by the finance committee, and was asked if promises made to represen- tatives of the American Legion for speedy action on the measure were to be kept"
 It is remembered that prior to the election last fall, Sena tor Penrose made fulsome promises to the representatives of the legion.
 Senator Shoot was evasive. He replied that the finance commit
 tee had completed hearings on the bill
 but that he could make no announce | ment as to when it would be reported
 to the Senate
 There are many republicans and sey- eral democrats who believe that a bill carrying adequate bonuses for the sol diers would seriously embarrass a gov crnment more abundantly possessed of funds than this government. But none or them will oppose bonus Legislation Tn public. On the contrary, all of them advocate such legislation, and some of them promise immediately to enact it. Were the democrats in charge, Tn all probability the prodders would be re- rublicans. And very probably the democrats would evade the issue. Bur the democrats, with the republicans in charge. are making the best of their opportunities and the soldiers accord , ing to report, are inclined to believe
 that Senator Penrose has spoofed hap

For Good of
 the Community

XX7HAT are children? Why do men w and women marry? What is their principal occupation during the remain der of their lives after they marry? For whom do they work? For whom is their planning? Who causes their joys and their sorrows?
 What is a state but the machinery for so caring for the growing herd of young ones that when they are adults they"will be able to bear it on their shoulders, re- lieving those who have reared them and making of their old age serene one of pride and accomplishment?
 So, when we pick up the tables that tells us of what we pay for the education of our children, we might with profit study them a trifle more closely than we do. If the money spent by Alabamians for the edu- cation of their young is less than that spent by any other state in the union, is it not proper that Alabamians should ask them selves how about this?
 If Alabama does not educate it's young, who will? What good the money invested in pure bred swine and cows and sheep un- less we also provide citizenship equipped to make the best use of the ad vantages inherent in their possession? Can we give more to education, not less? The individual is sometimes stag gered by the bulk of the bill for educa- tion, but, if he notices the hordes of young sters entering and leaving the schools of the land and enjoying their play at recess periods, he will marvel only at the stu pendous obligation that their numbers mean.
 P P. Claxton, United States commits sioner of education, puts it this way:
 Expenditures for public educa- tion may seem large, but these ex- penditures are small in comparison with the number of children to be educated In thinking of hundreds
 of millions of dollars for public
 schools we forget that there are tens
 of millions of boys and girls to be educated
 We forget that there are in the United States more than twenty seven millions of boys and girls be- tween the ages of and 19, the age at which most children enter school and the age at which they graduate from high school.
 In country in which we blithely acknowledge that all things wait on education the public health, ma terial prosperity and wealth, social purity, civic righteousness, political wisdom, the strength and safety of state and nation, and, finally, the thing for which we all exist, that is the individual welfare and happi- ness of the people, we have sreck- lessly' spent $253 per child that the attainment of all these things may be assured.
 What is a child worth? Is it extrava- gance to have expended $252 for the equipment of an American citizen? Is his education worth the price of a mule, horse or Jersey COW?
 Here is what some of the states spent on the public school education of children between 1905 and 1918, period carry ing the child from kindergarten through high school:
 Alabama, S63; Mississippi, S63; North Carolina, S67; Florida, $138; Delaware, $169; Illinois, S324; Ohio, S346; Oregon, S375; Utah. S379; Massachusetts, $390; Colorado, S421; District of Columbia, S47O; California, S54O; Montana, S637;
