OF the government to secure Mt least
u temporary homo for the Middletown
postoflice, the postofiice building hav-
Ing recently been destroyed by fire,
leaving that Office without an ade-
quate place In which TO transact the
postal business OF tho community.
Senator Ball advised that the citi-
zens select n suitable building, and
then ask the government to Lease II
for a term of years or until tho con-
struction OF a building can be pro-
vited for by Congress. at would be
folly" said Senator Ball, Ito await tho
action of Congress In making pro-
visions for erecting building, for
everybody knows this cannot be done
Immediately. and the wisest thing, In
my Judgment. Is for the people of the
community to agree among them.

building. and then ask tho govern.

say ten years--and by that time It ma,
be possible TO have Congress provid,
for n suitable and permanent build

Ing now. and It IL important that nj
adequate one be provided. In m,
Judgment the only way to meet tn
needs Of the occasion. which are ur

The Soldiers Bonus.

/ The Duluth Herald gives this com.
nonsense view Of the pending legisla.
ton pertaining to soldiers bonus.
What has made most people stagge1
at the idea of a soldiers bonus bill is
the virtual certainty that though the
proposed measure offers several al
ternatives to the cash payment, eight
or nine out of ten will take the cash.
The move Of American legion Off
Gals, therefore, to have it arranged 50
That cash payments will be made "onlv
to those whose immediate needs an
pear more urgent than their future
possibilities" will go long way to-
ward reconciling many of the prospect
that bonus bill is certain to pass.
Young people of the age of the ex-
service men are very much alike in
some respects whether they have been
clad IN y. d. or not. If they have
tree choice between cash payment
and the other very sensible alterna-
tlVes by far the majority will take
the cash. Too many will spend it
forthwith, after which they will be no
better off than they were before. If
the choice is entirely free those who
need the cash desperately and there
fore ought to have it will be in precise
~ the same position as those who need
very much more something that will
help them through their future.
To arrange to have each case passed
on by somebody with sympathy and
understanding, so that the cash paw
ment Will be limited to the cases where
cash payment is wise, will be to take
good deal of the mischief out of the
pending bonus bill.
Probably it is going to pass ANYWAY
Congress seems pledged to it, though
it has not found out where the money
is coming from and likes to change
the subject when that question is
asked. So long as it is going through
1t will be for the best interests of the
government and of the beneficiaries
OF the bill if its provisions are safe
guarded in the manner proposed by le-
gion officials. -: -. n.
