WELCOME. BRIToNs.

In these days of international jeal-
ousy suspicion and dfstrust, when the
sore spots of the last war are still fes-
by side against a common enemy, are
looking askance one at another, tits
refreshing to welcome to the United
States the official delegation of a
great nation which comes for the sole
purpose of bringing message of
friendship and better understanding.
The Sulgrave Institution has for its
object the promoting of better rela-
lions between the people of the United
States and the people of Great Brit
ain. The members of the association
believe. this will be accomplished thru
a closer understanding of each others
natures, problems. thoughts and am
billions.
The members of the British Branch
of the Sulgrave Institution who are
Topeka's guests today have chosen a
means of building up the understand
ing and the brotherhood of the two
nations which is stronger than treat
les, stronger than trade and economic
alliances.
Topeka, which must stand to them
as the representative of the Middle
Western Empire of the United States,
welcomes the British who come with
their mission of friendship and broth
erhood, in the name of that empire,
with sincere welcome, fraught with
earnest hopes of the continuation of
the friendship with the Mother Coun-
try. and of its 'blossoming into
deeper brotherhood which will place
the two nations in the van of. the drift
toward a universal brotherhood of
all men.

JUST FOLKS
COURAGE. ~
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

COURAGE. ~
Now Courage was sung by the poets of old,
When heroes were sturdy and valiant and
bold
And held it high Mpnor to die on the field
To fight single handed and never to yield !;
But round us and round us, wherever We
Shines courage as brave as the ancients
4 could know,
Yet nobody sings it or decks it with praise,
1t passes unnoticed as part of our days.
I'll tell you a story A maid that know
Who danced and was glad in the lost long
The pride of the village, had lovers a score,
For she was a girl that the world could
She was gentle and true and was lovely to
And her voice just as sweet as the birds
Aud her eyes just as clear as the skies when
they're blue
But the dream Of her yeans life has never
come true.
Now she iyed with her mother-her father
was dead
And the mother, an invalid, kept to her
And Love came beseeching her heart and
With ali that love offers for her to COM
The home She had dreamed of, the carriage
to ride,
The children she hungered to have at her
But setadfast she answered him, year after
81 never will marry while mother is here
You will find them together-the pother
still here,
The daughter still standing to comfort
and cheer;
No longer young lovers are found at her
For beauty must vanish and youth cannot
The joys that life promised-she turned
from them all
To be near her whenever her mother should
call;
Year after year at that bedside she's sat,
And poets, say it takes courage for that

THE BONUS.

It took a determined and con-
scientious stand for President Harding
to veto the bonus bill.
with nation of World War veter-
ans firmly in appeal for the bonus and
with the politicians clamoring for it,
the President faced a serious political
future when he closed the door
against a move that>would add un-
known millions to the national debt.
His veto will bring about consider
able discomfort, to be sure. It will be
termed as a direct slap at the heroes
of the World war. 1t will be quoted
as a.matter of ingratitude.
j This wave OF dissatisfaction will
wear off-as it should. President
Harding did not veto the bonus bill in
order to deprive the veterans of ma
ton wide recognition. He vetoed the
bill for the general and perpetual good
of the nation and OF its 10, 900, 900
citizens.
The Presidents explanation should
reach the hearts and reasoning of
every American. \
TO restore the country TO a pre-war
basis. Government expenditures have
been trimmed ruthlessly under the
Harding administration. States, coun-
ties and municipalities have followed
suit. Wages are being held to a point
where lower living costs will stabilize
conditions. The bonus would have Off
set a large part of this program. The
country would have been plunged
again into a mammoth debt.
The World War veterans should not
consider the veto a disregard of their
services They should not consider
anti-bonuS sentiment as a lack of the
nations gratitude. The very fact
that we are able today to live in COM
fort and contentnent is due to the re-
suits accomplished by our soldiers
overseas. And If the country is to
prosper and advance in normal chan
nels without Oppressive taxation, there
must be cooperation.
1t does seem shameful that the mil
lions made during the war cannot be
Apportioned to the men who risked all
but it must be remembered that there
were billions spent during the same
war-billions that came from the
pockets OF the entire population
is an economical issue. President
Harding had the nations welfare at
heart. q.

Daily Talk
ON BEING INSPIRED.

I came upon a quotation the other
day by one named Herder in which
this writer says: Without inspiration
the best powers of the mind lie dor
mant There is finder in US that needs
to be quickened with sparks"
. This earth is filled with beauty and
mystery and possibilities so that in
spiration may be born thru us all.
Life, at its best. is filled with. a
strain of monotony and we must have
sources from which we, may draw our
inspirations-that we may rise and
not fall, that we may grow and not
shrink.
No matter how far short these brief
little Talks may fall of their purpose
to uplift and inspire, still the fact re-
mains that for inspiration and that
alone does a Talk appear here each
day.
And I who write. get my inspira-
ton out of my desire and attempt to
inspire you who read.
A friend is for the purpose of in
spiration.
Character, high purpose. clean
thinking. a deep desire to make this
world a better place in which to live.
these are the results of inspiration.
And there is none of us who does
not need to be inspired-quite often.
Most inspiration, however. comes
about thru giving Inspiration to
OtneTS- VI. else, from Wnefe Coulu we
draw all that we have?
1t isn't SO much what we actually
accomplish as what we honestly, earn
estly and hopefully attempt that estab-
fishes our standing and the worth OF
our character. Not merely Did you
wia-but did you try?" That, 1 am
sure, will be the question of the Judge
of all Judges when the last days work
is done $3.50.

to be quickened with sparks"
