OUR DISABLED SOLDIERS

No matter what differences there may
be as to the expediency Of bonus legis-
lation, there are no two opinions as TO
the care OF the soldiers who were dis
abled in any way in the war. Figures
submitted TO President-elect Harding
by Colonel F. ". Galbraith, commander
OF the American Legion. show that
there are still about 10000 disabled SOL
diers in hospitals and at least 5000
more who. after being discharged. be-
came disabled as result OF their war
service.
The Wilson administration has failed
to care adequately for these disabled
warriors, even those who are In tho
hospitals. Colonel Galbraith alleges 4
breakdown of the entire system Of car
ing for these men. and the facts which
he cites prove that he has not exag-
gerated. Thousands OF the disabled
soldiers have not yet received the COM
pensation to which they were entitled
and which the nation intended them to
have. Many have for this reason been
forced to leave hospitals too soon, in
order to make a living for their fam!-
lies Three different departments deal
with the subject Of caring for tho dis
abled soldiers, and this has led TO de-
plorable and distressing delays and
confusion. This whole subject should
and without doubt win be one of the
first to be considered by the new adj
ministration.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT AND
IYNCHINGS

That capital punishment tends TO
cause lynchings Is the interesting the
DRY advanced by DR.. c. T. Riley OF Ne"
Rasamoras. DR.. Riley presents his
Sse very ably. but The 1ntelltgencer
cannot agree with his conclusions on
the contrary. this paper Is inclined 10
believe that il Is the failure 10 enforce
the existing laws on capital punish
mea; that creates the state OF MIND
Which leads 10 lynchinss.
The doctor says: 1t has been shown
that executing the murderer does not
deter others from committing murder,
but on the other hand it increases muir
dsr' and all other crimes"
To this we must take exception. In
stead OF showing that the death PEN
atty does not deter others from COM
hitting murder the facts, both in our
own states and in the world at large.
prove conclusively that II does. Italy.
which has no death penalty for murder,
has an extremely high murder rate.
England. which has a death penalty and
enforces Il strictly. has a very low
murder rate. The United States. which
has the death penalty IN most OF the
states. but does not enforce It rigidly.
has a murder rate much higher than
Ghat Of England. but lower than that
bf Italy.
Thus Il Is seen that the murder rate
Is low or high exactly as the death PEN
ally Is or Is not inflicted. Where it is
Known thar conviction OF the crime OF
murder will almost certainly be fol-
lowed by the death penalty. there are
Tow murders committed. Where there
Is no fear OF the death penalty there IS
Q very large number Of murders. Where
there Is probability that the slayer
will get or with something less than
the death penalty. but where the possi-
b!lity OF execution exists. the number
is between the highest and the lowest.
Four years ago the state Of Oregon
abolished capital punishment. Ever
since, there has been a steady and
marked increase in the murder rate. and
that state has just restored the dea'h
penalty as measure of self-protectiJn
AS TO the execution OF innocent men,
3uries in this country are so reluctant
TO impose the death penalty and de-
mand such conclusive evidence that Il
ru~T be said that I'm recent years no In
n,Scent man has been legally put -

men guilty Of premeditated murder have
escaped the gallows. On the senti-
Mental side there may be room for ar

TYRANTS SEEK TO RISE UPON A RUINED WORLD
If the Ruin Which Has Come to Russia Were to Extend
Over the World All That Humanity Has Gained

By FRANK o. LOWDEN,
Governor Of Illinois.

I "frs. their condition Is infinitely worse
now.
Lcuinc and Trotzky have shown that
| il is possible to destroy the E"urgcOis!e,
| but in the process they have we'll nigh
destroyed the rrolctarist as well. Rus
| STA teaches the lesson that no man and
no class is safe unless all men and all
! classes, have equal protection or the
! law.
Our most dangerous enemy IS not
some foreign land. He Is now within
| our gates. He bears different names.
| Sometimes il IS the Industrial Work
| crs of the World. sometimes the Soviet.
sonnet ines the "On" great union" and
| sometimes Socialism. For years we
| looked upon the Socialist party as
visionary but not destructive.
Rut in the swiftly moving events OF
! the last few years that party has
! thrown off all disguise True. many of
its members have proven themselves
genuine patriots and Americans. but
, they have been in hopeless minority.
I Tho Socialist party sought in every way
il could TO obstruct the government in
the prosecution of the war.
No enemies have arisen. within our
midst who haven't hal the Sympa thy
and support of that party. They pro
, f"SS to love peace, but they only rnarcn
with ease under the red nag or Rcv0-
luton. All Of these seek by force and
lawicssncss the overthrow of the GOV
ernmCnt which Washington founded
/ and Lincoln saved.
Their propaganda IS going on bT
night and day. We must meet it with
propa SanIa OF our own. We must
r"cur again and again 10 the funda-
mental truths upon watch our govern
m"nt was founded. Above all We must
order our social and economic life
as to give the lie to the charge that
our citizenship is composed OF classes
whose interests are antagonistlc TO one
another.
America is just beginning 20 accom-
pliSh her destiny. Under the influence
Of her example thrones everywhere
have fallen. and men dare nope for
: liberty and light. Against the most
powerful and ornaments OF history
, men have indicated their right to rule
! themselves.
II America and American ideals
should now fail. hope would depart
from tho world. for If America fails.

RIPPING RHYMES
A TRUE STORY
By WALT MASON.

There was 4 man who owned some
fats, out in western town. ht
dwellings, for aristoCrats, all painted
white and brown; and renters took
their kids and cats TO them and SET
tied down. In time the greedy rent
hogs rose. on Get-riCh courses bent;
the hearts Of many landlords frozc.
they rrasped at every cent: and pco-
pie soaked their furbciows. to rny
the monthly rent. And landlords got
an evil name throughout that plum
dcred grad: they played a proiitccr-
ing game that made the victims mad;
said victims said it was n shame. as
they dug up the seal. While other
landlords raised the prize. the hero
of this tale said old time prices
would suffice. old contracts should
prevail: he would not ask nm extra
slice Of hard pre- sscd tenants kalc.
These tenants. being safc and SAN.

came did not complain, or fear the
landlords tread; but they gave ham

they sprung their tribute. hiEn and
fine, to one OF sterling worth: and
he was moved To shedding brine that
trickled TO the earth. He gets more
pleasure from this Eift than do the
pirates gay. the profltccrs who strive
to lift the prices every day. from all
the coin their evil thrift has won and
