their guests from other sections a
realization of the greatness n var
iety OF our country. its economic
unity. and its s.ngleness of purpose in
behalf of the national aspirations. it
Is most desirable thai tbs men Of the
Legion, who have served SO nobly to

world, shall embrace every opportun-

"The nation as a-result OF the Gars
upheaval, confronts trying times and
difficult problems, to whose settle
ment we nn5t demand all that single
ness Of effort and willingness OF sacri-
flee. that marked the common effort
in the war. No class Of u citizens
knows so well as these men of the
American Legion what such effort and
such sacrifice mean; none has proved
so ~splendidly it's readiness to respond
as the first call. Therefore, in deal

THE PRESIDENTS VETO OF BONUS BILL

(X/H1LE there will be sharp difference Of
w opinion over the action Of President Hard
ing in Vetong the Bonus Bill, yet even those who
will be most bitter in their denunciation will be
compelled to admit that the President has main
tanned American ideals and that his objections
to the bill as passed by congress, are based on
sound logic. When the President stated that no
American soldier went forth to battle in the
World War with view Of the compensation that
would be paid him, he but expressed fact that
will be substantiated by the four millions Of
American soldiers who were enlisted in the Amer
lean. army.
Every American soldier went forth to do battle
for his country with that true spirit OF patriotism
that has always been shown by the American sol.
der; he lived up to the ideals OF America, and
never once did he give single thought as to what
material gain would be his; his only thought was
win the victory and he willing to give his all
for that purpose Nobody appreciates the spirit of
patriotism Of the American soldier more than
President Harding and he but reflects the senti.
ment of the American people when he states that
the petty amount that would be given to each
soldier under the proposed Bonus Bill could in no
way compensate him for what they did for their
country.
The fact is, President Harding is a much trusr
friend of the soldier than the vast majority of
those members of congress who voted for the
Bonus Bill. He would help them in way to do
credit to both them and our nation or not at ALL
but the financial condition of the government at
this time makes 1t impossible to do that Many
of the members of congress who voted for
the bonus are at heart bitterly opposed to it in
principle and only supported the bill because they
felt 1t would gain votes. President Harding added
much to the already large degree of confidence
reposed in him by the American people when re-
CARELESS of political effect, he vetoed the Bonus
Bill for the welfare of the soldiers themselves and
of the country.

The Malone girl refused to leave

Just as soon as she left the prison

1t is said that the murderers OF
Belle Lemons fear that the Malone

she has not already given the po.

Of lax enforcement OF the laws to endeavor to

Here's TO you, Billy Johnston
With your wicked forehand drive,
You are all "of sand an ginger"
And you're wildly alive;
And here's TO you, Billy Johnston,
With your reddish.tinted hair,
You lean, 1.-THE bunch of Hgor,
With lot of pep to spare!
You are death and you are ruin at
the net,
You're a terror and a peril when
you serve;
There is hardly any shot you can.
You're re- a S6 bundle made of energy
and nerve;
You are made of dynamite and T.

And a wildcat hasn't anything on
And the least enthusiastic must
agree
You're a bully little sportsman,
through and through!
So here's TO you, Billy Johnston,
With your racket in your mitt,
You're the dean Of tennis science,
And the curly wolf for grit;
And here's TO you, Billy Johnston,
With your pulses all athrob,
You skinny little demon,
Who is always on the job!

The Republican party came into control OF the
national government in 1921, two and half years
after the termination Of the war. Prior to coming
into control of the administrative branch Of the
government the Republicans had secured control
of Congress, and through power over appropria-
lions, had forced the Democratic administration to
cut down the number Of persons on the civilian
payroll But after all the reductions that could
be forced from the Democratic regime, the Repub.
licans have eliminated almost $1,000 from the pub
lie service since March 4, 1921. Tell that to you-
Democratic neghbor when he tells you that the
Republicans have done nothing to fulfill campaign
pledges.

laws MUST BE ENFoRcFD

HIS newspaper has paid very little attention
to the effort of the Times to create a sensa-
non over the unfortunate shooting! last week Of
tie escaped convict from the state penitentary,
or reason. that 1t felt the people OF Fairmont
Would beSable to judge for themselves the merits
of4the case We did, however, take the position
that in our judgment the shooting was justified
under the circumstances and this Judgment has
confirmed by the action of the grand jury in
refusing to find true bill against the officers
charged with the shooting. The Times itself ad-
mtts that Judge Showalter made very fair and
statement of the law governing such cases and
there Is doubt that the judges charge was used
~ the grand jury as basis for It's action. This
settles the case far as the shooting itself Is
concerned.
There Is another phase to the question, how
sSer 1t very obvious that the object OF the Times
in trying to create sensation over the shooting
Was % cause the dismissal of Chief of Police
snider. Its reason for desiring the dismissal Of
the chief we do not know, unless 1t is that
The vigorous efforts Of the chief Of police
20 see that the laws were strictly enforced does
not meet with the Times approval. This view Is
supported by the vicious attack made on Frank
Amos, the Prosecuting Attorney of this county
IA an editorial printed in the Times yesterday
morning. The Times had already charged the
prcsecuting attorney with endeavoring to protect
the chief of police from prosecution on account of
the shooting and has from time to time taken ex-
eeptione to the strong measures used by the chief
OF police the prosecuting attorney and the sheriff
ia the enforcement of the laws.
IS a well known fact that the Times repre-
sents that element of the community that prefers
70 see a liberal construction placed on and lax
enforcement of the laws.
This iS the same element that kept the Democrat
party in power in thi scounty for so long that ia
