Just Between Ourselves
BY DELLA E. STEWART

b uELLA Es DIE w AM
To what lengths we are sometimes willing
to 60 to attain revenge! The slight may
have been unintentonal; the injury I'M
meant. But how quickly resentment fires
us! Wen "get even" we say, as if getting
even was both kind and creditable. We
even boast of this tendency. People know
that if they tread on me they'll get as good
as they give''-who hasn't heard something
of this kind? Most of number among
our neighbors acquaintance those whom
we label dangerous" just because of this.
We feel that we can't tell just when some
thing that we inhocently do may be taken up
by them and made a cause Of action.
And yet--how little good revenge ever
accomplishes! We may with cost and pains
''get even" But if we do, where's the
gain? If in so doing we are triumphant
we show our own littleness of heart and
vision. Maybe that's just the reason some
of us follow the path Of revenge-because it
takes largeness of heart to forgive, and
we're small. The fact that we don't
with the truth-our action shows it to all
who look on.
If we could only turn that tendency Of
''getting even" in the opposite direction and
appreciate kindness, striving to return it
as quickly and as strenuousy as we resent
the hurt, what would the result be? A
ripple of happiness-or rather many ripples
sent out ON life's sea-others cheered and
delighted. Yes. But that's not all. We
ourselves grow and expand in the process
until life has different aspect. It's we'll
worth while.

Senator McCumber, in
Plea for Bonus Bill,
Flaws War Profiteers

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Flaying
wartime laborers as "stay at home
slackers" and cost plus contractors as
"profiteering pirates" Senator Nc
Cumber, of oNrth Dakota, today
urged the senate to promptly pass
the soldier bonus bill.
Consumption of labor in war time
the patriotic duty as between SOL
der and civilian being concurrent
and equal"-was the principle upon
which Senator McCumber based his
savage attack on war profiteers Of
all classes"
eff there is every another great
war;" he asserted. mark you, that
he will be invoked.
1.-THE blood of the patriotic SOL
der must have boiled with indigna-
ton to feel that while his govern
ment estimated his services, includ-
ing his board and clothing, at about
hardships," he. continued. "any man
who could saw a rough board or
drive nail qualified as carpen-
ter and received his $40 a day wheth-
er he was SO per cent or per cent
efficient.
Leaving out of the computation
every vestige of sentiment, every
element of gratitude and applying
only the rigid rule of mathematics
we cannot deny that by allowing the
man who fought for his country,
who placed his life in pawn, the in
crease in his compensation provided
in his bill. We are still giving him
for his services with all their risks
and hardships a compensation much
below that which the common lab
borer in the United States received
during his absence.
even though our action calls for
an outlay we would gladly escape
and will enforce a greater economy
along other lines, let us not delay
the fulfillment of this sacred finan-
cial obligation"
The five fold plan in the measure
provides 81 a day for home service
and $1.25 for foreign service; an adj
ditional 40 per cent of the cash is
allowed on paid up twenty-year in
surance policy with borrowing priv
ileges, vocational education or the
purchase Of a farm or home and
preference right to take up public
lands.
Senator McCumber earnestly urged
veterans to make application for the
paid-up insurance plan.

Liquor Found Aboard,
Schooner Crew Jailed

KEY WEST, Fla, June 23.-The
crew of the schooner Thirtie, of BIZ
loxi, Miss, is in the county jail here
as the result of a brush with the
coast guard cutter Cygan off the
Florida reefs near Sombrero light last
Monday. The commander of the cut
ter found one hundred cases of liquor
aboard the schooner.
The Cygan was cruising off the
reef when the schooner was sighted.
The 'Thirtie fled and stood in over
the reef, where the shallow water
would not permit the cutter to fol-
low. -
A blank shot caused the schooner
to come about and as it did so it
grounded. The vessel was towed to
Key West, the liquor turned over to
the customs authorities and the crew
of four men jailed.
