Disabled American Veterans Of the
World War


Editor kennebec Journal
This we'll equipped machine known
as the Veterans Bureau cannot func-
ton unless the man himself has
been inspired with desire 10
again come back desire to again
stand shoulder 10 shoulder with his
fellow citizen and feel that he is every
hit as capable and useful TO his cit,
and country as he was before the war.
The inspiring of this confidence in the
disabled soldiers is one Of the out
standing purposes of the disabled
American veterans Of the World War.
through It's summer camp program,
It's club houses and high grade dances
at which the disabled man makes the
proper contract, the disabled veterans
first strengthen his morale and then
inspire him with the desire to (come
back. The disabled American man in
his struggle to overcome his war
handlcans finds himself weakened bv
having to climb through tarbcd wire
cntanelemcnts, fences, etc, that arc
sometimes placed in his path BY tho
commanding or sub-officers of the Vet
Ni"i7 bureau III tIc form OIL unfair or
misinterprcted orders. These obstacles
are not placed in the disabled mans
path purposely or maliciously, but
simply caused by lack of experience
or lack of ability to interpret clearly
orders from General Headquarters.
Whatever the reason, lack of time n
order IS misinterpreted each time an
unfair order is issued tho resu1fipr
i-effect on the morale of the disabled
man is decidedly bad True, these Oh
/; stacles are overcome for the disabled
man by the concerted drive of his own
organization, The Disabled Ameri
can Veterans of the World War" For
each time an order or misjnternrets
| ton of an order that worked an unjust
hardship on the disabled man was H.
sued, it has always been revoked hv
Col Forbes when brought TO his a.
tentlon by the Disabled American Vet
Grams Of the World War.
Despite these additional handicaps
the disabled man Ss coming back 10
is taking his place in the community
and becoming a factor in all of Tho
community activities. IT is the shirt
Of America, ever onward. never faItor-
ing. never giving up. and TIE Disabled
american veterans are in the highest
type Of American Manhood.

FIGHTING IN CHINA

Three Of the leading political minds
Of China each wishes TO control the
whole Of it. One OF these, General
Wu-Pei-fu commands the populous
central provinces having a popula-
ton of 100000; another is General
Chang Tso-Lin, controlling three
barren provinces on the north with
population Of around 10000 but with
considerable money which he has
gotten from the government at Pc
king on the pretcxt of suppressing
banditry in the north but which has
gone to the filling of his war chest.
In the southern part of China DR..
Sun Yat-sen is the leader. He is
said to be in possession Of adequate
funds from some source, but while he
represents the culture of southern
China he has not been regarded
dominant political factor in China as
a whole, although he has talked of
taking the field against the North.
Now he has decided to join forces
with Chang on the north with a view
70 nippinG WI between them. If
they succeed these two figures would
control provided they do not fall out
with one another.
Meanwhile the fighting in the vi
entity of Feking is threatening the
safety Of foreigners situation cal
culated to give serious concern to the
foreigners and should be of concern
with China, especially at this time
when it should be on good behavior
because of what was done at the
Washington Conference. Evidently it
is, as both WI and Chang have
agreed to exclude Picking and Tient-
sin from the field of military opera
tons, though agreements not infre-
quently fail in the stress of war. Our
ships of the Asiatic fleet are taking
renforcements for the marine guard
Of the American legation at Picking,
4 precaution that is timely.

Canada proposes to levy an income
tax of eight per cent on all aliens

Those proposing it declared that the
United States is taxing the Canadi-

appears to be no good reason why

JUSTICE WITHOUT TEARs--FOR

shot down in cold blood by degener-
atss Who have no regard for the lives
~ others. II IS not an opportune time
20 announce TO the world that our SUI
perior court justices may impose
sentences and then Immediately sus-
pend them. The overwhelming ma
tority ~ our citizens are law abiding
ard Law loving. Their protection de-
mands a more wholesome respect for
stern justice promptly administered,
and not too much diluted by wasted
sympathy"
These are the reasons why Cow
srnor COX OF Massachusetts, as he
tells the legislature, refuses to sign

which 70 dilute justice with senti-
mentality or heed political pulls for

there should be prompt trials and
swift penalties, when the lure OF pull
and procrastination should not in
vi'e the criminal with the prospect Of
getting put over and liberty on bail.
But sight should not be lost Of the
neod. II We would make the law re-
spcctsd, OF impressing the criminal as
veil as others that he IL being Justly

And while so much is being said In
behalf Of criminals they are terror

burglar In Boston has robbed IA

A call to Canadians living in the
New England states to return
home and help in the building up OF
their country in the period Of after
war reconstruction was made Mon
day by Hance J. Logan, member of
the Canadian Parliament for Cum
berIand county, Nova Scotia, ad
dressing a Canadian night meeting in
Symphony hail, Boston, under the
auspices Of Local Canadian organi-
cations. The speaker said he had
been told that there were more Nova
Scotians and their descendants in
New England than the total popula-
ton at home, and while he knew
that many OF these people were oc
cupying high positions in the land
o. their adoption, he doubted if they
were any better off Or any happier
than if they had remained at home.

Brothers, on Green street. Largely
through the efforts Of c. A. Powers,
who saw that the opportunity Of get
ting this property for $4,000 was a
fine one, this happy contamination
has been brought about. The build

$4,000, in addition to the lot. A

STATE MAY JOIN IN SHERIFF
SUITS

The Commonwealth either will
join in the suit of Paul E. Shipp
against former Sheriffs J. w. Rodes
and Thomas G. Bradley, of Fayette
county, to recover fees, alleged to
have been received by them in ex-
cess of $4,000, the constitutional
limit, or institute separate proceed
ings, Attorney General Charles 1.
Dawson said.
The statement resulted from the
Court of Appeals decision, holding
that the constitutional limitation on
the salaries of public officers is self
operative and capable of enforce
ment
No statute, limiting the number
of deputies a county officer may en-
ploy or requiring him to account for
excessive fees, has been enacted, ex-
cepting with reference to Jefferson
county. The Louisville officers set
tie with the State Auditor for all
their fees and are allowed their COM
pensation, expenses and deputy hire
by him. The decision, therefore,
does not alter the Jefferson county
situation. The law fixes the number
of deputies they may have.
Sheriffs in at least twenty coun-
ties are supposed to receive higher
compensation for their services than
the Sheriff of Jefferson.
On the basis of their 1921 assess
ments Sheriffs received the following
commissions for collecting the 1921
State taxes: Bourbon, $780,; Boyle,
$4,000; Campbell, $1,000; Chris
tian, $4,000; Clark, $4,000; Davies,
$4,000; Fayette, $4,000; Franklin,
$4,000; Garrard, $4,000; Graves,
$4,1OO; Harlan, $4,000; Harrison,
$4,000; Henderson, $4,000; Kenton,
$1,000; Logan, $4,000; Madison,
$4,000; Mason, $4,1OO; McCracken,
$4,000; Mercer, $4,000; Nelson,
$4,000; Pike, $4,000; Scott, $4,000;
Shelby, $4,000; Union, $4,000; War
rem, $4,1OO, and Woodford $4,000. |
No public officer in Kentucky, mu- !
nicipal, county or State, excepting
the Governor, may receive compen- :
Sation in excess of $4,000 year. i
Sheriffs receive numerous fees for
court service and commissions for ,
collecting State and county taxes. !
The tax assessment has been doubl- ]
ed since 1917. State taxes have in |
creased $2,50O,000 and county taxes
$S,5OO,OOO. Consequently Sheriffs' |.
of 10 per cent on the
first $4,000 of both State and county
taxes and per cent on the remain
der have increased enormously.

THE RADIO IN THE COUNTRY

One of the big elements in rural
advance in Kentucky has been the
telephone. 1t has banished loneli-
ness from the country home. Now
comes the development of the radio
telephone which seems likely to fill
almost as big place. The time will
come when most country homes will
be equipped with receiving sets, that
will give them the news of the day
and splendid variety of entertain
ment.
Then people will no longer COM
plain that they are shut off from the
big world. The best music and lee
lures, the latest market reports and
the doings of the public bodies, will
be made known to the quiet groups
around the fireside. 1t will reconcile
many to country life who are now
FESTIVE in quiet villages.
