NO BLANKET BONUS

President Harding and Secretary
Mellon deserve the highest commen
dation for the courageous action they
have taken to prevent the enactment
at this time of the $5,0o0.000,00
blanket bonus bill for service men.
Moved by purely political considera-
tions, each might have evaded his
duty. The secretary of the treasury
is not responsible for the actions of
congress. He is the cashier of the
government, not its board OF directors.
But Secretary Mellon knows OF his
own knowledge that the industry of
the country is sorely beset to produce
the funds necessary to meet the pres
ent expenses of the government and
that an additional burden of $4,000
100000 might nullify all the efforts
that have been made at reconstruc-
tion and stabilization Of business

for good seldom reaches farther
than his congregation. while the
editors field for good reaches all
the congregations in the county. The
lawyer makes great speech in the
court house and only one or two
hundred persons hear him, but when
the editor writes good editorial it
is copied in various papers in the
state.
The editor distributes more flow
ers than florist and he asks moth
ing in return for them but thanks.
The editor has an opportunity to do
the individual citizen a service and
he never hesitates to do it II con-
sistent with his obligations to the
public. The editor has the greatest
opportunity to convert men and
women to his way of thinking on
public questions. AS the lighthouse
on the shore warns the ships from
the rocks the editor can warn them
public from frauds and takers. The
editor has the greatest opportunity
to protect society from evil by stand
ing for the law and creating public
sentiment for it.
The editor never tires Of boosting
his town and county, and II both do
not grow it is not his fault. He
helps the deserving young men with
words of commentator and re-
strains the old by words of warning.
His field Of usefulness is broader
than any one else in the community
and IL he does not get any returns
for his efforts for settlement he has
a sufficient reward in seeing things
get better. He rejoices in his op-
portunity for service to his fellow
man, his town and his country, and
goes on his way rejoicing. whether
or not he gets any returns for 1t
