THEY'RE HUMAN
William Anterior Du Puy-

Almost all Of us have something in our past Of
which we are ashamed. Way back yonder some
where there IL a mean trick chalked up against
us and once in a while when we are cockiest
we think Of 1t and duly humbled.
There il Harry B. Halves. for instance. who is
a Congressman In Congress from Missouri He
IL SO good blocking and has a wife to match that
they are often pointed out in Washington
throngs az the Handsome couple" But Mr.
Halves has his secret. which affects him as do
the ugly feet of the strutting peacock seeing
which its feathers invariably fall.
1t goes back to his youth down in Kentucky
and an occasion when all the men folks went
away on a hunting trip and he was left home
with his invalid mother and something happened
and the servants all bolted.
So Harry had to prepare food for himself
and his mother, whom he loved dearly, and he
had to wash the dishes. The latter to him
was the most despicable task, and great was
the surprise afterward when he was COM
mended upon the workmanly manner in which
he had performed II.
And the secret that stin rises like Banquo's
ghost to haunt him Is the fact that this dish
washing was done on the back steps by three
hound dogs that brought their own dishrags
with them!
Charles r. Crane of Chicago, formerly minis
ter to China, has just returned from an extended
journeying within Russia. He tells a story to
illustrate the habits of indrection that have
grown up in that part of the world.
Two individuals who employed devious methods
for trading in Russia met at a border town.
where are you going?" asked one.
ITO Cracow." was the reply.
Now for why" protested the first trader, do
you tell me you going to Cracow? You do
1t because you think what you say will lead
be to believe for sure that you are going some
where else. Since I know how you think I
conclude you are actually going to Cracow."
Various men have odd little habits that are
amusing In the watching. There Is Congress.

BOrnh and the Bonus

50O,000,O00. Unpaid interest due
US is 100000, 900.
Just what we need to meet the
first-year bonus payments.
But we haven't got it. England
kept it and paid her own soldiers
bonuses that were a minimum OF
$141 for privates and maximum
Of 81, 200 for officers.
So with France. She owes us
$4,000, 100000, including 1924, OOO,'
600 unpaid interest. If we had
that 1884, 100000 it would carry
US well through our second bonus
year.
We haven't got it. The French
soldiers have it-$233.58 apiece,
We shall care for our own, too,
Let Congress make no mistake.
The country is in earnest.
Senator Borah suffered one OF
those brilliant errors that some
times attack great minds when
he said:
There are more taxpayers in
the United States than ex-
service men.
The implication is that tax
payers next November will de-
feat Congressman who vote a
bonus for ex-service men.
Congressman know better. They
know that in every State where
a popular referendum has been
taken on a State bonus it has
carried by huge majorities.

MI President Harding's wish
A'A for ga little more party
spirit of Lincoln's time"
The political literature of two
generations ago is vibrant with
feeling because vital with great
issues. Party spirit naturally
sprang flaming from such a state
of the public mind.
We shall again get these vivid
reactions when we have equal in
tensity of political convictions and
correspondingly clamorous issues.
We cannot expect them when the
only differences between the
parties are the labels and when
the principal use made Of an issue
is to dodge or disguise it.
In the politics of 1920 there was
an issue which excited genuine
interest-the question Of keeping
our America independent and
free. 1t gave to Mr.. Harding the
largest plurality a Presidential
nominee ever received.
Such a plurality might have
been accepted as decisive, but
other counsel prevailed, and now
the issue is reappearing.
We credit the President with
sincerity when he says he believes
that the various treaties Of al
lance negotiated at his instance
and pending in the Senate involve
no sacrifice of our traditional free
dom.
But we cannot so construe the
facts, nor do we believe that the
people will 80 construe them.
If these treaties do not commit
us they are useless and deceptive,
and if they do they are dangerous.
That they bind us to a subordi-
nate place on the ocean is shown
by the undisguised glee with
which they are greeted by our
chief maritime rivals.
That they deprive US of power
to defend or enforce any policy
in the Pacific is obvious.
That they represent surrender
of prestige in the Far East in
favor of imperialist and mill
tarist Japan amounting to be-
trayal of the white race is no.
torious.
They foretell, not peace, but
chagrin and humiliation on our
part, growing with each new ag-
gression on the part Of the IN
scrupulous forces whom these as,
tonishing compacts exalt and en-
power.
As these truths gain attention
we may find that the party spirit
of Lincoln g time, which looks SO
good in retrospect because indie.
alive Of real public interest and
emotion, will quickly enough be
paralleled.

i0N MONDAY Senator Borah
~ delivered a brilliant speech

Senate.
A simple, unaffected, sincere
servant of the people. A man
Of deep lea,aing, strong convic-
tons, Independent, incorruptible.
Il One Of the greatest orators in
the Senate since Daniel Webster,
the Idaho Senator has another
Webster trait--when he makes a
mistake no makes colossal one.
He was wrong when on April
%, 1917, he voted with eight
other Senators against the Uni
versal Military Service Act. 1t
was the only means Of making
America efficient in the war.
He is wrong today in opposing
soldiers bonus legislation. 1t is
the just tribute of our gratitude
to those who fought the war.
He says the country owes no
more to the men who came home
just as we'll as they were when
they went away than to those who
stayed and attended to their bust.
ness at home.
AS if any soldier "came home
just as well as when he went
away"-even if he was uninjured,
he lost two of the best years of
his life.
He returns only to the job he
left. The stay-at-home has adj
vanced two years in position.
That is, if he is lucky, he re-
turns to the job he left.
Hundreds of thousands of ex-
service men will tell you they re-
turned to no jobs at all.
There are thousands of veterans
walking the streets of our great
cities.
No use arguing with the Sena-
tor from Idaho. Two cannot argue
without common ground to stand
on.
If there is no difference bet
tween a dug-out in France and a
locomotive cab in Altoona
If there is no difference between
spending a black, starless night on
a destroyer scanning the North
Sea for submarines and spending
it in the Singer building scanning
q trial balance sheet for a 2-cent
error in figures
If it was just as heroic to be
annoyed a month by the rumble
of the Sixth avenue 81" as to
live through a month of German
drum-fre, then Senator Borah is
right.
The bonus legislation springs
from a determination to return
to these men a small fraction of
what they lost.
Senator Borah is the opponent
of the bonus in the Senate; Miss
Robertson, of Oklahoma, in the
House.
Not many women will approve
her opposition; still fewer her
grounds.
If the veterans want the
Government to put the dollar
sign on their patriotism, we
can do it.
This she said at the Lincoln
birthday luncheon of the Won
ans Republican Club in New
York. Strange words at a Lin
coin birthday luncheon. Congress
did not hesitate to "put the dol
lar sign" on the corporations
when it appropriated several bill
lions to pay them profits on can
celled war contracts. They feel
in no way ashamed of the dollar
sign. They like that form Of "ad-
justed compensation" But ad-

recruited to the side of the con-

on the money which he won
when he broke the bank at

But the handsome star has in

wall and discovered the lady of
his heart. When he learns that
she is the Princess of the country,
he shifts over to the royalist
