Veterans and the Bonus.

Support for the position taken by
President Harding when he announced
that he was mot much concerned,,'
about a bonus for unwounded and un-
impaired veterans of the world war
was assured from the moment when
the announcement was made Popu-
lar interest in the agitation for legis-
1ation which, while placing a danger
Gus economic burden upon the coun-
try as whole. would bring discredit
to the men it proposed to benefit has
waned to close to the zero point. There
was obviously little doubt in the Presi-
dents mind but that the veterans
themselves would approve his stand.
Nor has evidence Of that approval been
long in forthcoming. The October is
sue of the Disabled Veteran. the organ
of the Disabled Veterans Relief So
ciety, typifies the reaction of the men
who served.
Pointing out that the benelciaries of
anycash bonus plan would lose far more
than they would gain under the false
financial plan erroneously described
as settling the nations debt of graft
tude to the men who served" the in
dicated paper proceeds to a recitation
Of number of the ill effects which
would attend the payment of the bonus
as advocated. The argument, while
sound and persuasively made. is not
new. Interest therein is attracted pri-
marily by the fact that 1t is the vet
eran himself who is speaking.
From the outset agitation for the
bonus has originated from limited
group within the ranks of the vet
Grams. The aroma of politics has been
strong about it. What lukewarm sup
port it ever attracted to itself, either
among the ex-soldiers or the balance of
the country, was based upon the adroit
use of phrases either empty or charged
with fallacy. With the statement of
true facts as to what the scheme ac-
tually involved before it, that portion
Of the general public which. through
mi guided sentimentality, was prepared
to do an unwilling ill-service to the
men to whom the nation owes so much
was quick to cool. 1t is matter for
deep satisfaction that the attention of
the veterans themselves is alive to the
dangers toward which a handful of
their overzealous buddies was leading

Politics and the Conference.
This is from Providence, r. l.:

This Is from Providence, r. l.:
Former Vice President Thomas r.
Marshall today received a great ova-
ton at the Kingston fair when he
pie to get behind President Harding
during the forthcoming conference on
the limitation OF armamentS in order
that I'VE may ward OF every enemy
of mankind"
Another evidence of the fact that
there is no politics in the conference.
A republican President has called it.

shall. a democrat. approves 1t, though
not as a democrat, and a crowd at a
fair. composed. of course, as such
crowds always are. Of men and women
Of all parties. approves Of Mr.. Mar.
shall's approval.
And yet now and then a suggestion
is advanced that politics is involved;
that the President has party ends in
view; that he is seeking party capital
at the expense of the Wilson wing of
the democracy. and hence 1t is the
duty Of democrats to withhold support.
On this ground Senator Underwood
has been criticised for accepting ap-
pointment as delegate to the confer
ence.
The reasoning is by no means con-
vincing. The reference is to the league
Of nations. But the republicans are
not alone responsible for the rejection
Of the league. Mr.. Wilson shares in
that responsibility. The Senate would
not accept the league without qualifi-
cations, and Mr.. Wilson would not &C.
cept the qualifications.
The President is not trying to recoup
a loss. He does not concede a loss, nor
did the country last year when It gave
him and his party on the record an
majority at the polls.

China at Odds.

All is not serene in the former Celes-
tial empire. The Canton government.
controlling South China, protests
against the selection Of delegates by
the Peking government to represent
the Chinese republic at the conference
on the limitation of armament. In
fact. 1t resents the attempts of the
North China government to enlist the
aid of the southern Chinese.
The State Department recognizes
only the Peking government as the
head of China and has not admitted
South China.s claims to recognition.
This is in spite Of the fact that DR..
Sun Yat-Sen and the so-called young
China party, which dominates South
China, have long been the particular
friends Of the United States.
But our Official acceptance OF the
Peking government as representative
Of the Chinese republic has not inn
pressed the Cantonese. They persist
In their demands.
"Insi st upon a direct invitation for
this government in Pacific confer
ence," the southern government ca
bles to Washington. "Peking is too
committed to Japan to make strong
case. The Canton government, II 1t
Joined the Peking delegation, would
be tainted. Canton must send an in
dependent delegation to come to court
with clean hands,"
And now DR.. Sun Yat-Sen announces
that unless Canton delegation par
ticipates in the decisions concerning
the far east none Of them relating to
China will be recognized as valid.
DR.. Sun must have been reading the
speeches and papers Of De Valera
New York Tribune (republican).

The State Of the Country.

Congress when 1t meets next week
will have nothing on" the administra-
ton in the matter Of the latest news
from and about the country collected
by experienced observers.
The President has been knocking
about bit, and everywhere kept in
touch with representative men in.
formed on public questions. He knows
news and its value. both as a former
news collector and as a politician who
in one office or another has found 1t
advisable to guide by news.
The Vice President, another poll.
tician who knows the value Of public
sentiment and how to sound it. has
spent six weeks in New England in
company with old friends, personal and
political. and it is a safe guess that he
has caught the drift of opinion in that
quarter Of the country.
Several members Of the cabinet
have delivered addresses here and
there. and everywhere under auspices
bringing them close to the voters.
Secretary Fall, reckoned one Of the
Presidents shrewdest advisers, has
been. and still il. on tour in the west
looking into affairs connected with his
department, but alive as well, we may
all be sure, to what is going on Of a
general political nature. The west
went overwhelmingly for Harding last
year, and if any change in feeling to-
ward him has taken place since Mr..
Fall is likely to learn the extent and
cause Of 1t.
1t is q great game. this game Of
politics, goes oi, continually, and keeps
the players keyed up to their best per-
formances. And just now its attrac-
tions are so strong they appeal to all.

The New York Result.

The republican shindy in New York
over the mayoralty nomination was
lively. The four aspirants for the
honor stumped the town. and talked to
the voters face to face about the local
issues Of the day. Each declared him
self clearly and with courage. The in
terest manifested was in keeping with
the Importance Of the contest.
Maj. Curran won in walkaway. He
had the best of the polling by thirty
odd thousand over his three competi-
tors combined. He was first, and they
were nowhere.
Lively as the contest was, however.
it seems to have left no sting likely to
be felt in November. The losers pledge
themselves to the winner, and doubt
less will exert themselves toward get
ting their followers to the ballot box.
Their future. indeed. if they are think
ing of a future, will depend somewhat
on how well the nominee is supported
in their respective bailiwicks.
Contests Of this sort, devoid Of biting
personalities and making union after
the event not only possible but easy,
are sometimes Of benefit to a party.
They stir up the electorate; advertise
not only the aspirants for office but the
issues; bring home to voters a keener
sense Of their duty than they would
otherwise have experienced.
And this is very important point.
When an electorate is thoroughly
stirred and the vote full, improved
government usually follows. Apathy
Is the thing we need most to avoid in
the conduct of our public affairs. The
way for the people to rule Is to rule.

This statement of the chancellor is
virtually confession of fear at Berlin
to regulate Bavaria. This state has
from the outset of the great change
in Germany been strongly inclined to-
ward monarchism. The Bavariau king
was dethroned, but there has never
been real union with Prussia in the
republican plan. The Bavarians have
been curiously sympathetic with the
Prussian junkers. however. and would
doubtless have been glad to see the
Kapp revolution succeed, even though
in all likelihood they would have re.
pudiated Prussian monarchy and set
up one Of their own.
It would seem as though the Berlin
government was really afraid to act.
Some arrests have been made for the
Erzberger murder, but little has been
disclosed. !The chances are that the
government at Berlin knows the whole
plot and does not feel strong enough
to precipitate the issue. The fact that
Chancellor Wirth was willing to go on
record as admitting government i'm
potence for nearly two years through
Bavarian oficiai connivance at de.
fance of justice and authority would
indicate that Berlin is actually afraid
Of Munich.

Spirituality as the Price of Funds,

The efforts of Syracuse University
to raise one and q half million dol
lars to extinguish it's debt have met
with an unforeseen obstacle. Pastors
Of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
under whose auspices the college was
founded fifty years ago. intimate that
it must regain its old spiritual atmos-
phere as a condition of their helping
to collect the fund. They make mourn
ful allusions to chapel exercises. at
which they had to preach to q hand
ful OF students. among whom there
was not enc professor.
Is Syracuse incli ming away from the
things Of the spirit for moro worldly
interests, such rs politics? It should
set q better example of the older uni
versities, where members Of the
faculty have been known to be pres
ent at the chapel exercises.
But If the collection Of endowment
funds is to be made contingent on the
degree Of religious sentiment at the
college which is to be their beneficiary
conditions unusual at this day and
rather irksome to present policies of
college management will be imposed
on such forms of philanthropy. Syra-
cuse, of course, was founded as q
Methodist institution Of learning, and
the moral right Of donors Of that faith
to insist on a religious requirement
in the use of their gifts is undoubted.
