The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1921-07-28

BOrah introduced resolution calling
on the secretary Of war for all data
as to the size of the army of occupa-
tion, the cost of maintaining 1t and the
payments of the German government
for its expenses. The senate promptly
adopted the resolution without roll
call or a dissenting voice.
The tariff bill, having been passed
by the house, IS now before the senate
but If present plans are followed that
body will not act on 1t finally until
legislation to revive taxes has been
enacted. This Is in accord with the
understood wish Of the administration.
The prospect for considerably lower
taxes, however, was dimmed some
what by the rather startling state
ments made by A. d. Lasker new
chairman of the shipping board. He
asserted that his Investigations have
revealed the fact that the board
operated last fiscal year mt net loss
of S3SO,0OOOOO, and predicted that dur
ing the present fiscal year the loss
from operations alone will be $780,
100000. Mr.. Lasker said the records
of the board were I'm deploruble con-
dition and that If 1t had been private
business concern the corporation
would have been I'm receivers hands
long ago. He indicated that uppro-
priauons of $3OO,OOOOOO would he
needed for this year, but later he
asked congress for only Sl25OOOOOO
| for the next six months The formal
| request for this sum was made through
! Director of Budget Dawes and with
the approval Of President Harding
Prodded to quick action by pre-
! llmnary report Of the special commits
| sion on soldiers relief, which scored
the government for neglect Of disabled
| veterans, the senate on Wednesday
passed the Sweet bin without a dis
senting vote. An amendment was
adopted designed TO transfer from the
ex-service men to the government the
burden of proof in establishing the
origin of disabilities. In some other
respects the bill as passed by the
house was altered. AS passed by the
senate the measure provides: For the
creation of veterans bureau, respon-
slble directly to the President, cOnsol-
idating all soldier relief agencies; for
the decentralization Of the compenSa-
tlon and Insurance machinery now OPP
Grated by the war risk bureau, and
for the liberalization Of compensation
awards so as to relieve any former sol
der suffering from ailments for which
the war service was responsible.

WHO'S wHo2

The Journal insists that Senator Bursums candi-
dacy does not involve the supremacy of "the gang
In New Mexico, but that 1t will mean, on the con-
trary in our opinion, the leadership Of man now
free from former entanglements and alive with a
new sense of public service.
TO those who doubt this, we wish to quote two
sentences from a story printed in the Gallup inde-
pendent relative to the Mckinley county convention
"Mr. sully arrived in town Saturday night
and 1t is said that he Immediately began pluck
ing Bursum buttons from the lapels OF the
worthy republican gang
"There were a large number of Bursum but
tons as large as Kansas sunflowers flashing
around town Saturday morning but they all slid
under cover when the great boss arrived"
These paragraphs may not show Mr.. sullys
personal feelings toward Mr.. Bursum. but. IT true
they show what his superlors, Mr. lacking and his
associates In Chino Copper. friends of Mr. FALL have
made him do.
Az to other members of thu old Fall-Hawkins-
Sully combine, consider the fact that Mr.. Hawkins
professional convention attender. was absent from
the meeting which nominated Mr.. Bursum. Re-
member that Secretary Falls old counties of Dona
Ana and otero in both of which he formerly resided.
cast the entire OF their delegations for Herbert
B.. Holt as against Mr.. Bursum.
The republican party in the coming campaign
will be headed by Senator Holm o. Bursum, not the
man. Bursum we believe, who has been forced to
shoulder many unpleasant worse tasks in the dis
tant past In order survive politically, but the
who wrote into recent republican platform Its pro-
gressve planks and who has been working in Wash
ington of late burning the midnight pipe for New
Mexico"

(From the Cincinnati Enquirer.)
Nothing OF the traditional binds the people of
the Virgin Islands of the West Indies to the United
States, now the owner Of this territory In fee SIM
pie. The government of Denmark sold the islands to
the government Of this country and the insular resi-
dents were not given vote or voice in the matter
Of bargain and sale.
Congress is about to extend to these newly ac-
quired possessions some of the laws which In
effect here at home the most notable being pro-
posing an income tax the proceeds to be retained at
the source for governmental purposes Passed by the
house OF representatives. the bill has been thrown
out by the senate but may be reinstated. There Is
also pending a bill to enforce the Vostead law. but
no step has been taken upon it.
Now comes the colonial council with plea ad-
dressed to President Harding that finality of
ton be had upon measures affecting the islanders
until that body has had time to examine and con-
slider these projects The council represents the elect
ed and appointed members of the legislative arm of
government and speaks for the people,
There is nothing extraordinary in this request,
which should be Needed at Washington. To act with
out ascerainng what probable effect of the action
would have upon them would be to treat the resi-
dents as slaves. to be less extreme nonentities
not entitled to consideration This would be contrary
to the American spirit and departure from the
ideals Of the founders Of the republic who taught
the great fundamental that all men were equal be-
fore the law. The islanders are human beings. not
chattels.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Aug. 23.--An erratic
market in grain futures, which
fluctuated irregularly but rapidly

strongly in the final trading on
reports of local sales of 100000
bushels Of wheat to export in

of NC to 1c in wheat but corn was
unchanged to Nc lower and oats

local. Some buying OF September
and selling OF December was noted.
Toward the finish the buying
power improved on the breaks and
the export business figures stimu-
lated 1t further.
Corn was generally lower despite

Old Names Are Best

Our busy Board of Aldermen has
resolved in favor of Welfare Island
as against Blackwell's Island and is
contemplating the replacement of
Herald Square with Bennett Square.
We have already sighed over the
Pollyannish euphemism of Welfare
1sland-why abandon an old salty
name like Blackwell's for what is.
in the present state of penology and
human nature, silly and hypocriti-
cal pretense?
The proposed elimination of Her
aid Square raises similar emotions.
A good rhythmical mouthful is this
title, which George Cohan made
famous in his song about Broadway
and the matter of being remembered
to Herald Square. In these years
it has become an honored bit of
Manhattanese, and those who would
lightly alter it have little under
standing of how an old town attains
favor and mellowness and person
ality>
Let it be added that if the Board
New-York tribune., 1921-04-14

of Aldermen does insist upon chang
ing Herald Square, now that the
Herald Building ia at an end, there
are the best of reasons for naming
it Greedy Square rather than Ben
nett Square. Such was the old name
of the crossways, and Uncle Horace
in bronze still surveys the scene
from the lower side of the square,
which has never lost his name. A
reunion of the whole area under
the title Greeley Square would per-
petuate history and end confusion.
10 have Bennett Square facing a
Greeley Square across Thirty-fourth
Street would have it's sardonic
humor in view Of ancient personali-
ties of the Greeley Bennett days, but
there is not much else to be said
for the plan. Old names are best.
