ECONOMY'S HIND FOOT!
COnfound it!

it is, it will just have to go.
Confound it! Hang-take it!
Doggon it! I got it said, any
how.
In the above remarks I have
tried to family suggest how I
feel about the unspeakably un-
grateful conduct of the adlninis-
ti'aJlon in its treatment of. the
soldier boys.
AS an excuse for vetoing the
bonus bill, President Hardtin1es
brings up the plea of economy"
The government already has SO
many obligations, and the world
is in such a bad fix, that we can't
afford to pay the boys anything.
Economy, the dickens! When
they were called on to go and
suffer and perhaps give their
lives in a foreign war, it would
have been economy" to them if
they could have stayed at home.
But there wasn't any economy
considered then, except the
pinch-gutted economy which al
lowed them only one dollar a
day for bearing all the risks and
sufferings of war, while the durn
profiteers and grafters sat
safely in their offices and raked
/ in their millions.
| There wasn't any Economy"
considered when the government
was paying forty and fifty times
the real worth of things and CIV
ing it all to the grafters.
| No ECONOMY about building
a fleet of $50 wooden ships that
never were used, at a cost of
many millions, and then selling
them for less than one cent ON
the dollar.
| When the war ended, billions
of dollars worth Of supplies and
food-stuffs remained on hand,
land these things were dumped
Into the hands of the rich specu-
llators at a fraction of a cent on
the dollar. If the government
|wanted to give things away, it
might just as we'll have given
them to the people who needed
Them No economy" about
that.
| No sir, there has not been one
drotted bit of economy practic-
led in this whole bloody business
except what has been practiced
lon the soldier boys themselves.

TOGI WATSON Is BEAD


The only and original Tom
Watson, OF Georgia, is dead.
Don't laugh, please.
There is nothing funny about
that.
1t is a fact, and not a joke.
Tom is dead.
He has turned in his last
"copy,' written his last book,
made his last speech in the Sen
ate, and shaken his auburn-gray
locks for the last time.
His life has been a stormy
and a strenuous one, swinging
back and forth between defeat
and victory.
He has been intensely loved
and intensely hated.
He was q man of supurlatives
any way you took him.
He was a great scholar, a
great lawyer, agreat orator, q
great author and absolutely
without fear.
I didn't always agree with
him, but I admired his genius
and his courage.
He was just the type Of man
that the world has always cru
CITED and then deifed.
The people who want to
stand in with the reactionaries
and the plutes have always tried
to poke fun at Tom Watson.
They have tried to make him
out a little insignificant spit-fre
who didn't matter much nohow.
But the daily paper that
brought me the first news of his
death recorded a nightly sud-
den change Of attitude toward
him. He was no longer that
old Tom Watson-he was the
"great Senator Watson, of Geor-
gia." The flags about the Capt.
tol are to be half-masted for
thirty days in his honor. Inlag-
inc anything being done at
Washington to honor him while
he lived They would rather
have spit in his face, and in
fact he was openly insulted on
the floor Of the Senate two days
before he died. At Washington
and elsewhere over the country
his enemies did everything in
their power to make his life
miserable. But he was great
enough to sur1nount it all, and
he died in the harness at the
zenith Of his glory.
Now the papers that have
bitterly abused him for years
will be full of sloppy and sick
ening editorials in his praise.
What miserable hypocrites we
are !
But for Tom the fight is fin
|ished.
| He enjoyed reading the Fool
Killer, but he will not read il
any more.
| Goodbye, Tom.
| See you later.

IF. as now seems likely, the crisis in
4 the Near East passes without war
fare between Turkey and Great Brit.
ain the credit may be given largely to
two men and to the good Judgment OF
their governments in giving them q
free hand. Those two are General
Harrington, commander of the British

them they are succeeding 10 bringing

countries. This latter, of course, was
scarcely needed for France, but Eng:
land had to recede from the position
assumed for her by Premier Lloyd
George and is now enabled to do SO
fairly gracefully. .5@$
Since Ismet Pasha, representing the
Turkish Nationalists, was quite cons
ciliatory, an agreement was speedily
reached at .Mudania giving eastern
Thrace to the Turks and placing Con-
stantinople under dual control Of the
allies and the, Natfonalists. The siat-
ter are to establish civil authorities
in the capital, but agree that the al
lies shall remain there and control the
port until definite peace arrangements
are made. Eventually the Turks are
to have full military and naval con.

the Nationalists agree to get out Of
the neutral zone and the British re-
tire from Chanak to Gallipoli. Greece
is given ten days to evacuate Thrace

DISPATCHES from Moscow indi

brought within sight rapprOchement
between France and Russia, which
have been such bitter enemies since
the advent of the soviet regime. AS
was stated above, they find their Near
East policies practically identical, and
now the French are being given as
surance that the Russians will recog-
nize their pre-war debts to France.
The new feeling of friendliness Is be-

sion now in Moscow, and also by NJ.
