Ex-service men, as whole, will not
be particularly interested in a poll
tician's review of the measure which
he is pleased to call the soldiers
"bonus" bill. 1t is merely political
gesture, giving, it is true, grand OPP

graceful poise in patriotis1n-a 90

vehicle for the politician, but, like
most machines of power and lustrous
polish, it is only for the service man
to sit by and admire. But the ex-
service man, especially the Legionaire,
would like to see real action in the
matter of disqualification for the dis
abled veteran. Politicians shout of
their great disqualification appropria-
tions, but sit idly by and let the whole
amount be wasted through political
graft. disqualification of United
States soldiers of the World War has
so far been a CHASTITY, cruel joke, an
unholy travesty on justice, and not
one politician-representative has as
yet had the temerity to step forth and
risk a vote by challenging this politi-

the lowliest beggars Politicians have
passed up the disqualification prob
lem with but scant attention. 1t is
not a vote-getter, either way. The
"bonus" matter, theoretically, inter-
ests millions, where disqualification
directly only affects hundreds, and
most of those so poor end hopeless
that they need not be reckoned with
in the great game of politics. Hos
pitalization for wounded veterans is
the real subject of concern for the ex-
service man and his friends today,
and those who understand will have
nothing but contempt for the thrillful
"bonus" ranting Of any politician who
has not stood up in his official capac

system and to advocate real, humane,
constructive disqualification for World
War veterans. The politician may

stated that he was not yet ready TO
make known the governments policy.

Il am satisfied" he said, that there
is all the law necessary TO do all that
is needed In such an event and new
legislation would not be needed nor
helpful"
He declared he has no desire to OBJ
struct any. legitimate policies of the
unions. but he would not let the
unions break up the open shop against
the wishes of the workers. The
people OF the country, he asserted. are
more interested in work than In either
the question OF unions or open shop.

Ihey want fuel TO keep them warm
and food when they are hungry, and
they can't have either without work"
Mr. Daugherty declared he hoped
there would be no strike but that in
any event he would not make known
the governments attitude until the
proper time. He stated he had no pre-
Judices against unions and would sup

Well-known Banker Celebrated
87th Anniversary Today by
Attending to Business.

Promptly Mt $50 this morning.
George =. Capelle rolled back the top
.of his desk at the Second street
branch Of the Wilmington Trust Co.
notwithstanding the fact that this is

ed the top OF his desk. a remembrance
from the personnel OF the bank. and
In addition TO that, handsomely

Mckee. wife OF the banks doorman.
was In evidence.
Mr.. Capelle bears his years lightly.
HIS movements being as spry as those
of many men half his age. He said
that he had had some little argument
at home over the proposition TO cele-
brate by party his 1922 birthday.
His feeling WAS that even II a man has
Iassed the three-score mark, he should
be allowed 20 pass the birthday an
niversary In peace and quietness, Just
Ike younger man. He admitted
however. that his opposition was
weakening. and intimated that he
would make no objection TO such a
celebration when the 1929 anniversary
comes around. However he observed
today by attending to business at the
bank. being chairman OF the board of
the Wilmington Trust co.
Looking out on Second street. he re-
rected that ever since 1851. when he
came as a boy TO this locality. he has
been IN some way identified with tha.
square; first, as a clerk in a hard
ware store. then as proprietor, and.
finally, as an official of the bank, his
present occupation. This makes Mr..
Capeile easily veteran In point OF
business identification with lower Mar
ket street. having spent 20 years there.
Mr.. Capelle showed his appreciation
of the birthday remembrance of the
banks staff.
He has seen Wilmington and its
financial interests grow from very
small proportions 20 what they are at
present. He has been connected. also.
with some OF the largest business deals
in the city.
