The Minister and
the "Vamp"

NOV the minister was young and
~ enthusiastic and eager. He loved
his work, he loved the parish. He loved
the people. They were a bit too talk
alive at times. They did enjoy telling
him just how he should preach and
act and think and do. But 1T was all
so well meaning that it failed to annoy
bin. Sometimes when he might have
been annoyed he became amused in
stead. 1t was so much the better way.
The minister was extremely attrac-
tive. Every woman in the parish knew
that. Every man admired the minis
ter. too His WAS a most engaging
personality.
But things became a trife awkward
when it appeared as though the min
lister could not talk to any one of the
opposite sex for more than ten minutes
without arousing observations.
And how weary he did get of being
told he mustn't take the last piece of
cake in a dish. 1t was so tiresome a
bit Of so-called witticism.
He realized that 1t might be difficult
for a minister to be permitted to
choose a wife for himself. He some
how had a new admiration for minis
tiers who appeared to have done their
own matrimonial choosing.
He feared that one might ever take
almost anyone to dodge the constant
comments and chatter on matrimony
which an unmarried man seemed to
encounter.
And then the minister fell in Lowell
Oh, madly and rapturously in love.
And with a girl from out-of-town whom
people said was not the type for a
minister's wife, at all. at all. And the
minister had said he hadn't looked for
a type, he had picked out the one he
cared for.
He even heard people whispering
the word "vamp." "A vamp who had

Discussing the Soldier Bonus

Many patriotic Americans and many good Repub-
cans feel that it is great mistake to commit the party
TO the proposition of general cash bonus to be paid to
the soldiers of the World Such payment it is
said, will seriously disturb the national finances,
tail additional burden upon business that will have
most harmful consequences, will establish in the pub
lie mind wrong idea of the value of the soldiers
vices the nation and of the duties Of citizenship gen.
orally.
The main argument in favor of the cash bonus ap-
parenty is that the soldiers want it. and that the SOL
diers of the World ought to have from grateful
ration what the soldiers want 1t is true that the
soldiers entitled to the gratitude of the nation 1t
is true that money payment is adequate to compen-
safe them for their service 1t is true that the nation
ought to make to these young far possible
for what taken of their lives result of their
service
1t is not true that any soldier gave to the nation
more than he owed to the nation as loyal American
1t is not true that the value of the soldiers service
he measured in cash 1t is not true that the scale OF
paid in American machine shops ship yards and
other peaceful industries is the proper measure of what
the soldier worth to the nation And it is not true
that the payment of cash bonus to every soldier will
be in every benefit to that soldier.
The nation is thinking these matters and its
decision has not been reached. 1t is subject upon
which much may be said and nothing is to be gained by
denouncing the motives despsing the Of those
either side of the controversy.
Undoubtedly the subject will be thoroly discussed
in congress- and in the majority of both those who
support the bonus proposal and those who oppose it will
be sincere in patriotism and in appreciation of what the
soldiers Of the World did for the nation and for
humanity and civilization.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Feb. H.
Specialized newspaper reporting Of
events in Washington has supplanted
the former custom OF merely recording
the activity on the floors of tho house
and senate. At times during tho past
Is years ninc-tcnths Of the newspaper
space devoted to the National Capital
was given TO tho speeches on Capitol
Hill Nowadays, however. the center of
news writing is the president and his
cabinet.
Theodore Roosevelt did moro TO bring
about this change than did anybody
else. When he became president. the
change from peace loving chief
executive to one who loved nothing
moro than a fight turned the attention
OF the writer's from tho Hin" to the
White House. whero thcro was always
news aplcnty. Not alone was II 4 re-
lief for them to get away from the
dull accounts OF what went on In the
house and senate, but the substitu-
ton OF fiery words for these made
better reading and more enjoyable
work.
Where many papers and all the news
services onco carried every day a
summary OF tho sessions OF tho house
and senate that was from one TO four
columns In length, they now have spc-
cial stories on only the principal oc-
currcnces there. a. ]. Halford was the
last OF old-timc reporters at the
capitol. He made copious notes of de-
bates and individual speeches in tho
house and his stories in the New York
Sun portrayed the vocal efforts OF tho
national Legislators. With his death
passed tho system once so general.
There arc seats on the senate and
house floors for representatives OF tho
news services. but these are occupied
h.- ~ mai ssrsI~
when the president addresses congress
or something of tremendous import
ancc is being debated and voted upon
Tho pages use them thruout the re-
mainder OF tho sessions.
Mr.. Roosevelt senscd the usefulness
OF the press and he always had a story
for their Monday papers. because on
Mondays-the dullest news and adver-
tisinE day-there always was plenty Of
space In them for whatever he had to
say. Rooscvclts cabinet caught the
spirit OF their chief, making reams OF
copy for tho newspapers. This con-
dition naturally turned the eyes of tho
country from the legislative to the
executive end of Pennsylvania avenue
and almost threw into the background
the congressional sido OF Washington,
TAFT POOR NEWS SOURCE
With the incoming OF Mr. Taft. the
press had more of a holiday than for
tho seven years previous, so far as cx-
citing news from the White House was
concerned The reporters went back TO
Capitol Hill, but they sought individual
stories. The Bsllinger- -Pinchot contro-
Nersy took their attention for some
months, but even that did not measure
up to tho former hectic DAYS when
every morning brought forth a new
nominee for Ananias club membership.
1t was tho announced intention of
Woodrow Wilson TO hold two confer
ences with the newspaper men each
week. This took them back to the
White House again. Later. however.
