SOLdierBO
in Danger

-NEMIES of the bonus assert
that the President will veto
- the bonus bill the Senate pro-
poses to pass.
They further claim the Senate
cannot muster the necessary two
thirds vote to pass the legislation
over the Presidents veto-in other
words, there is to be no bonus this
session.
Nevertheless, so some of the
shrewd Republican politicians
figure, the Senators and Congress
men can go into the November
elections stating that they passed
a bonus bill, the President did not
sign it, but no doubt they will be
able to get together next session.
No. The time for the President
and Congress to get together is
now. The President should tell
Congress just the kind Of bill he
will sign.
Last February he wrote Con-
gresham Fordney that he did not
want a bonus bill financed by a
bond issue, but he did want its rev.
enues provided by taxation-by
general sales tax.
Yet a month later the House
passed a bonus bill financed by a
bond issue. Each soldier is to re-
ceive a twenty-year Government
bond on which he can borrow
money at the bank.
There was no rebuke from the
President. Republican leaders on
the floor of the House said he
would sign their bill. The Senate
proposes to pass one almost iden-
teal.
Now is the time for the Presi-
dent to assert the same leadership
as when he stopped the House
from reducing our navy personnel
10 $1,000 men and when he forced
the House to agree to pass ship
subsidy legislation this session.
Every constructive element in
press and nation would line up be-
hind the Presidents demand for
SOUND bonus legislation NOW.

Something to Think About
BY Fabio Dean

WELL. well, what dye know
w about that?
Can 1t be possible that Ignace
like so many other patriots
In so many other lands-wants
to devote his life to his country
only on condition that his coun.
try gives him a glorious jobT
Or Is he convinced now that
Poland no longer needs his
help or his sacrifice?
At any rate, the world will
welcome his change of mind.
After all, there 10 only one
Paderewski. Pianists who can
raise q moral to the skies"
only grow one on a bush, where.
as any cop will round up q
dozen prime ministers for you
on one days notice.
And don't worry, 1gnace,
about changing your mind
Many q greater man has said
he wouldn't and then did. Con.
sistency may once have been

lending much on II these days.
And saying she would ne'er

L sailed for Europe. but Is
coming back In the winter to
play the piano. He is booked
for a concert tour in this
country and in Canada.
When freedom shrieked and
Poland struggled to get back
her ancient territory from Ger.
many and Austria-with a big
COB of old German and Austrian
territory thrown in for good
measure-Paderewski threw
himself heart and soul into the
fight. Poland won and he be-
came prime minister.
Never again will I touch

France and Italy. Poland got
along so nicely that she dropped

Lodges Gauntlet

NENATOR LODGE is nothing if
not orthodox as Republican
- and pious as high protection
ist. And yet even he joined with
others of his party in protest
against the proposed glove sched-
ule in the tariff bill.
If his protest fails let the women
themselves pick up the gauntlet.
They can institute a buyers strike
and for a time refuse to wear
gloves, or wear their old gloves.
This is sure to be an effective argu-
ment-even with Gloversville.
EYES example indicates that wo-
men can go without gloves-or any
other item of apparel or use that
robber tariff makes prohibitive.
The Washington times., 1922-07-29
The True France

NUPERFICIALLY, nearly every
thing that comes to us from
~ France indicates an irreconcil-
able attitude toward Germany, a
distrust, hatred that is far from
encouraging to those who desire
the peace Of the world.
But there are also indications
more favorable, showing reason
ableness and sympathy with what
is good in Germany.
Along the more encouraging line
we find the words of Marc Sang
nier, spoken in the French Chamber
of Deputies. In an argument with
Poincare he said:
When we were fighting there
was more love in our hearts than
hate; there was love of liberty
and justice, and love is stronger
than hate. u I hold it indis.
pensable to discriminate between
the two Germanys, and
to those who really want peace
we must reach out our hands and
not pronounce a single word
which might make them believe
that we regard them all with the
same universal reprobation. u r. Il
The more I realize that there
are militarist and imperialist
forces in Germany seeking to
raise their heads victoriously, the
more indignant I become at the
Interruptions from the Right Of
this Chamber, which make people
abroad believe that we do not
reach out our hands to the pacific
Germany.
There speaks the real spirit of
France, great and magnanimous in
the past, generous, civilized, and,
at bottom, still possessed of the
same qualities.

For Public Service
HARLES GARLAND, of North

~ HAhLES OAKLAND, OF North
Carver, Mass, has been
~ known to journalistic fame
as an amatory experimenter. Be-
fore that he had leaped into public
notice with his refusal to accept a
million-dollar legacy left by his
father. He had not earned it and
was not, in his opinion, entitled to
the money simply because of his
prenatal cleverness in managing to
be born of wealthy parents.
And now he has created an
American Fund for Public Service,
which is to use the greater part of
Garland s heritage "to promote ex-
perimental agencies for public well
fare"
Consistent with the views of the
donor, this fund is to be employed
alphabetically in furthering new
agencies for social betterment.
Hitherto the large foundations have
been established for the support
and furtherance of orthodox eco
nomic, political and religious ef-
fort.
The Garland fund may provide
one Of many needed safety valves,
allowing for the letting off of an
accumulation of pressure in the So
cial boiler.

The March
of fEUents

n IRKENHEAD, Lord High
r. Chancellor says England
will pay every dollar she
owes. "We never fail to meet a
bond to which we have set our
hand" says he. That's the way
to talk; also it's. the way to keep
your credit good.
Divorces are frequent in Paris
and some one has invented little
ring for the divorced, showing
broken Cupid arrow" For Amer
lean use that device would have to
be more complicated, perhaps show
ing a houseboat in Florida and the
dove of money sitting on a new
love nest.
A bucket shop broker in New
York is sent to prison for three
to six years. His crime was pre-
tending to buy stocks and not buy
ing them, bucketing orders" This
is the first time it has happened
and is a good beginning. How
crowded would the prisons be if
they held every distinguished gen.
tleman in the State of New York
that has recently violated the laws
against usuryi
Europe feels that Americans are
not sufficiently liberal, yet they
have lent a thousand millions of
dollars to Europe in the last six
teen months on top of all the other
thousands of millions lent.
1t is understood and agreed"
that the money will not be used in
Europe for war or instruments of
war. Suppose a man has just
enough to buy food, not enough to
buy bulldog. You say, II will
lend you money on condition you
don't buy a bulldog with my
money" You lend him what he
needs for food, he uses YOUR
money for food, HIS money for a
bulldog.
The important question is not
what will Europe do with the mil
lions lent, but will those that lend
ever get the money backf Nations
that used to borrow for two and
one-haf and three per cent are
paying as much as eight per cent
and a bankers commission for
loans. Look out for that kind of
borrowing.

IT'S ALL WRONG

WHAT a wretched world is this:
w Floods and famine and despair;
Little right, but much amiss,
Trouble breeding everywhere;
Tainted food and poisoned wells,
Fickle friends and haunting fear
When your tummy-tum rebels
And your liver's out of gear.
EFFORTS useless, hope is vain;
II An the great things have been done;
Sin and sorrow, sickness, pain,
Many cares and little fun;
Rogues a-plenty, honest men
Listed for misfortune's frown;
Everywhere injustice-when
Indigestion has you down.
MAYNARD children, faithless wives,
w Vice and vanity and greed;
Foolish faith and wasted lives,
All the gardens gone to seed;
Evils in an endless brood,
Envy, jealousy and hate
When you've filled yourself with food
That you can't assimilate.
NOTHING'S lovely; ugliness
~ Looms wherever you may look;
Others keep you from success,
Beating you by hook or crook;
All the world is off the track,
Brown spots float before your eyes
When you eat too much and lack
Necessary exercise.
