BY ROBERT BARRY.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Followtng a
conference with President Harding on
the soldier bonus" bill, Senator Borah
of Idaho made a fervid attack on the
measure in the Senate late Monday. He
quoted the Presidents objections to the
legislation in July, 1921, and gave all
manner OF statistics to show that eco
nomic conditions which Mr.. Harding then
held to menace the financial stability OF
the Nation were the same at this time.
Financial restoration is no nearer than
when the President spoke, but the cleo
ton is nearer" Mr.. Borah said, and l
desire here and now to enter the proph-
ecy that this bonus bill win be passed
without any provision being made for its
payment But you cannot deceive the
taxpayer by removing the tax provisions
from the bill and carrying them in an
other measure. Some one must pay the
bill and you will find there are more
taxpayers than ex-servtce men in Amer
lea"
Mr.. Borah's forecast that the bonus"
advocates would attempt the political de-
ceit Of granting adjusted compensation"
estimated yariously TO cost from $1,000
000, 900 to IS, 000, 900, 600, without providing
means to enable the Treasury to make
the payment, was challenged in compe-
tent senate QuhEbeTb. II was SLhteu,
furthermore, that President Harding and
Secretary Mellon never would recede from
their antagonism to any such program.
There was less posltiveness, however,
among Republicans in the House, where
veteran legislators ran around in circles
and babbled like day dreaming school
boys over methods of obtaining billions
of dollars.
The President and Mr.. Mellon were in
conference on the bonus" bill last night.
There was every reason to believe the
great uproar, pro and con, over the legis-
lation, indicated by a great volume OF
letters and kilograms reaching the White
House and Capitol, had not moved the
President from his determination to play
fair with both the soldier and the tax
payer by insisting the bill should carry
means for paying the bill. There is no
attempt to interfere with the acts Of
Congress, but decision as to political pol
Icy rests Just as heavily on the executive
son the legislative in the existing stu
alton.

ates on the ways and Means Committee

counterpart of that of geology, working
with Purdue University. Its work large

After saying that everything possible
should be done for the disabled soldier,
Mr.. Borah cited that appropriations to
and including 1921, aggregated S1,175.6O5,-
426 for soldier relief, and with Senator
Warren, chairman of the Appropriations
Committee, estimated the total for 1922
would run to about $500. 100000. Basing
the estimate in part on the ratio of Civil
War pensions in 1875 1920, $50, 000) to
what they were in 1921, ($279. $50 ,000), Mr.
Borah said the ultimate cost of soldier
payments BY he Government would ap-
proach the stupendous and staggering
sum of SIS 100000.
When Sc; ttor Jones, Of New Mexico
challenged he President and Mr.. Borah
for referri to the bonus" as a "grat-
uity," the Idaho Senator said he pre-
ferred to hink payment of 50 a day,
equalling ,e pay Of q stable boy, was
a gratuity from a generous government
instead Of adequate compensation" for

ADVOCATED FOR

Special to The Times.
LAFAYETTE, Ind. Feb. 14.-Rlchard
Lieber of Indianapolis, director of con-
servation in Indiana, addressed the an
nual meeting last night of the Tippe-
canoe County Fish, Game and Bird Pro
tective Association. His subject was
Conservation in Indiana" and he out
lined in detail how the State department,
of which he is director, is engaged at
underwriting the future prosperity and
happiness Of generations to come through
co-ordinated efforts at pointing the way
toward iudicious use of natural re-
sources and the prevention Of unneces-
cary wastes.
Mr. Lieber pointed out that the foun-
dation of our national institutions rests
upon the country's wealth of natural re-
sources. Without these resources neither
political nor social development or ad-
vaDcement could have been made, he
said At least not in the proportions
we know them.
Organized movement toward conserva-
ton is scarcely fifteen years old, he said.
This followed a transitory period Of
profigate uses and waste 1t was as
late of 1919 that Indiana, through crea-
ton of department of conservation, be-
gan the work of putting its house in
terment Of mankind have been brought
about In short time, he declared.
HOosIER SOIL
UNEXCELLED.
The speaker pointed ont that in the
beginning our land was a veritable
treasure trove The soil was unexcelled
in richness anywhere in the world, the
mountains were dlled with minerals of
all sorts, our former gigantic forests,
streams, wealth in oil, made possible in
an unheard- Of short time, the growth of
this Hercules among nations, He
showed that the pioneer coming to this
land was destructive before he could be
constructive It could not have been
otherwise The pioneer fought ciyiliza-
tions battles, that civilization may en-
joy peace and prosperity. He cautioned
that some Of these destructive habits of
the settler took root in our being and
destruction continued where construction
was not needed.
Describing the work Of the six divt-
sions Of the conservation department, he
said in part:
1.-THE division Of geology is of daily
practical assistance to the oil and gas
industry the coal operator. to the cement
manufacturer, to the user Of molding
sands, glass sands, abrasives and TO our
important building stone industry. BY
an agreement almost ideal the geological
staff of Indiana University has charge

This is sad Christmas day for certain family in Cal

remembrance of this Christmas season. and it is all
count Of violation of the law.
Sundays Journal contained dispatch from Blounts-
town telling of the death of W. P Fields; that deputy
sheriff trying to take him home when he became enraged
and the sheriff had to kill him to prevent being killed himself
W. P. Fields not a bad man. He was lawyer and
the people had honored him by sending him to the legsa
ture. He not bosterous in his general conduct but
when he became intoxicated he turned into another
than his real self.
Any person who drinks liquor may thank Providence
that he is not the place of Fields No who drinks
genemanly manner but frequently it does happen it
might happen to anyone.
There is lesson in the Fields killing that the citizens
and officers of Florida might accept there had been
liquor available Fields would be alive today and his family
happy Had the citizens done their full duty had the
sheriff and his deputies dones their full duty very prob
able that liquor would have been available to Fields.

WHEN THE SINNER GOES
STRAIGHT,

Eight years ago a banker disap-
peared as an audit of his banks books
was being made. 1t was the story that
has been told again and again of a
mau in a trusted place surrendering
to tempta ton. BY the time the audi
tors finished their work there was
nothing left of the bank but a mem
Dry.
\ few months ago the banker was
found. He had buried himself in
another community and had gone
straight" He had worked up a new
place OF trust and was walking in
the path of righteousness. 1nvestiga- =
ton showed that those eight years
had been without stain. Yet the law,
having indicted him for his past mis-
deeds, must needs have recourse of
punishment. He was brought back to
the community he had fled in dis
grace and was sentenced to serve one
year and one day in a federal prison.
What is the theory that lies be-
hind prison incarceration? II society
DEGREES that the guilty must be con-
fined as a grim punishment for mis-
deeds. then sentencing this man to
Jail was the right thing to do. But
there are those who take the stand
that prison sentences are imposed so
as to protect society from the mar
auder. II such is the case, what good
was done in placing this man in a
prison cell? He had tasted the ag-
ony of conscious guilt. He had wiped
his slate clean and began anew. He
had built up reputation for honor
and integrity. Certainly it would
seem that society needed not to pro-
tect itself where he was concerned.
He had become one of its useful mem
bers.
Some day. perhaps. society will dis
cover a better vision than it now
holds for dealing with those who
go wrong but have the heart to try
to win back. There is all the differ
erce in the world between the one
time sinner and the confirmed crook.

One has only to recall other IA
nous hostelries in leading American
cities, now memories only, to realize
the changing conditions in a rapidly
growing republic. Fashions change,
and so do hotels. The patronage of
notables follows these Kaleidoscope
changes with unerring regularity.
In the medium~sized and smaller
American cities the same transforma-
tion has taken place. Utility has sup
planted sentiment. The old hotels that
were once the center of everything
important have passed, and a new
generation has almost forgotten them.
But in the large cities the ravd ges
of time have been more complete.
Each decade has its new hotels ami

THE FooTMAN'S SIDE OF 1T.
Coroners jurie shave in recent in
stances acquitted motorists of blame
for collisions that resulted in the
death OF pedestrians.
The automobile driver is not al
ways at fault. The pedestrian is
equally apt to be criminally careless.
Blindly, engrossed in thought or
conversation, the pedestrian may
step directly in front of motor.
There is a thud. A body falls. A
crowd gathers. The ambulance clangs
amid the scattering onlookers.
Death due to unavoidable accident"
coroner's jury returns, a little later.
True, the accident was unavoidable
from the viewpoint of the man IN the
machine. But it was avoidahle on
the part of the victim.
II we are to have automobiles, It is
necessary to recognize that even at
reasonable speed they cannot be
stopped in time TO save the pedestrian
who steps without warning immedi-
ately in front Of the motor. When it
comes to a contest between man and
an automobile the former is crtain to
lose.
Pedestrians ought to be as careful
as motorists are asked TO De. The
same pressure of law ought to he
brought to bear to compel self-pr0-
lection against collision and injury.
