pursuit., exempted from the strife
for existence, and when not in the
war zone, subjected to loose discipline

them incurred the danger of moral
bewilderment.
The rise in crime shows that this
danger has become an actuality. 1t

it America had been ready to give all
of them bread and wages as soon as
they stepped from the army into
civilian life. That was not possible
because of criminal shortsightedness
and because of the way we handled
all questions relating to the war, and
the result is that the wearers of the
uniform who were once arrayed
against Huns and barbarisns are today
waging war against justice and law in
America.
And when we witness confusion as

Another vindication of Wilson.

President Harding's refusal to obey
the direction to the executive in the
existing shipping law to terminate
existing commercial treaties, just as
President Wilson had refused to obey
such direction, has met with generous
commendation on the part of Demo-
Gratis, not one of whom has INDUCED
in any vituperation or abuse OF him,
nor threatened his impeachment as
was done in the case when President
Wilson refused to carry out those
provisions OF the act.
In a speech complimenting Presi-
dent Harding for following President
Wilson's course in this matter, Repre-
sentative Ewin Davis (Dem., Tenn. y
said:
81 want again to call attention to
the fact that President Wilson has
been completely vindicated upon this
proposition by the Republican Presi-
dent, and, as before stated, after a
Republican member of this House
went so far as to declare that he was
going to move the impeachment of
President Wilson for the very thing
that President Harding has since very
properly done.
"However, this is only one of many
vindications of President Wilson that
have already occurred, and Of many,
many more that will occur in the
future. The fact of the business is
that, regardless of their pre- election
charges, criticisms and promises,
whenever the present administration
honestly gets the true facts that
prompted the preceding administra-
tion, this administration nearly al
ways pursues the same course, and
whenever it undertakes to pursue q
different course it invariably meets
itself coming back'." (Applause.l

Soldiers Bonus Falls Short of Paying Men,

Information obtained at the Office
of the Adjutant Genaral Tuesday in
dicated that the State Soldier Bonus
Fund of 5000, 900 will lack from
$3,50o,00O to $7,OOo,o0O of paying SIC
for each months service by Mis-
sourians in the army.
This fact became known when Gem
eral W. A.. Raupp visited Washington
recently and obtained a correct list Of
all Missouri service men and the
average length of time served by
them. Records in Washington, Gen
eral Raupp said, show that Missonri
service men total 166,363, of which
14S, 1897 in the navy, and $3.50 in the
marines.
General Raupp says the average
period of service for the men in the
army was Ia months, and that the
average period in the navy was II OF
is months. Estimating that 25 per
cent of the service men will not ap-
Iply or will be ineligible because OF
residence. Taking that as a basis for
figuring the amount necessary the
fund will fall $2,50O, 900 short Of pay
ing the $40 for each months service
To this, however, may be added 5000,
900 necessary for administering the
bonds.
General Raupp declined to COM
ment on the possible shortage Of the
fund, although he admitted that 9
shortage is certain. He said Tuesday
that he expects to confer with Gov.
ernor Hyde on his return TO the city
regarding the situation.
Unless some solution is found to re,
lieve the situation at an early date il
is expected that the Bonns Commits.

Suit To Clear Title.
Poplar Bluff Republican,

L NTOpldE bluu7 7hepuDIlCdu.I
I There was very interesting case
heard in the circuit court here early
| in the week, the case coming here on
change of venue from Reynolds coun-
ty; it was a suit to clear title to q
tract of land, 800 acres in Reynolds
county. AS brought out m the evi-
dence, the land was entered in 1855
by one John Connor whose residence
was then in St. Louis; Connor latel
died and heirs of the deceased, resid-
ing in Boston, for many years paid
the taxes; in later years the books oi
record were destroyed by fire and
following this turn in matters people
claiming to be the rightful heirs OF
the deceased John Connor were found
in Illinois and from these quit claim
deed was obtained, the price paid for
which it is said, was $25-and hence
forth the title has been clouded.
The Boston claimants were repre-
sented in the suit by R. I. January
and son, the latter prosecuting attor-
ney of Reynolds county, while Arthur
Brewster represented those claiming
title through the Illinois heirs of John
Connor. A verdict was rendered in
favor of the Boston claimants.
1t is said that this case has twice
been to the State Supreme Court or
appeal.

"The Capitalist System"
(St. Louis Post-Dispatch.)

(St. Louis Post-Dispatch.l
Acknowledging the sincerity of the
Presidents desire to end war, Mr..
Debs musingly reflects that Mr.. Hard
ing sis a representive of the capital
ist system and it is the capitalist sys-
tenn that makes war"
1t would not be difficult for Mr..
Debs or for any of his parlous disciples
to prove any crime they might allege
against their bette noir, the "capitalist
system" But admitting the'postulate
that it is "the capitalist system" that
makes war, Mr.. Debs will hardly con
tend that the ''capitalist system" in
vented war. Historically the s'capital-
ist system" is young, almost infantile.
Before it appeared life was just one
war alter another.
1t is not so long ago that the pro-
fession of arms wed with that of the
church as the occupation of gentle-
man. The tradesman was then but
degree above the villein. The pen
was quite as contemplate as the hoe
or the counter. Might ruled by blood.
The progress of humanity, from the
viewpoint OF popular rights, dignity
and well being commenced with the
factory system, from which sprang
what the Debs school calls the 'scap-
italist system" Labor saving ma
chinery disorganized the old regime
and compelled the reorganization Of
society along new economic, industrial
and political lines. That the "capital-
ist system" has been ruthless in many
respects and is indictable on many
counts. nobody will undertake to
deny, but when its liabilities are all
assembled there indubitably remains
to it's credit q steady march forward
toward equality.
Mr.. Debs would destroy the "cap-
italist system" What he would SET
up in it's place we do not know. He
proposes, in glittering rhetoric, to
abolishpov erty, unhappiness, distress
and to usher in an order of universal
plenty, security and joy. He looks
upon Russia with sympathetic eyes
and sees in that monstrous travesty 9
beatific vision. This man who speaks
Of American democracy only In terms
Of derision, contempt and burning
hatred praises communism that has
brought to starvation score Of mil.
lions whose only hope for life lies 10
the resources and philanthropy Of the
