LOSING TIME IN THE ARMY.

There IL n widespread objection to tho term
bonus. Those engineering tho legislation and
enforcing II upon the country explain with
painstaking detail that It Is not n bonus that Is
being asked but adjusted compon ponsation, for
time and opportunities lost while serving in tho
army OF the United States.
There is really no use at all In opposing fur
thcr this matter. The leaders OF both political
organizations are determined to meet the de-
Inands Of the various ex-soldier organizations.
We must all prepare to set aside additional taxes
for tho purpose OF raising the plural billions of
dollars necessary to satisfy n rather formidable
voting block. We win do this without precipi-
tating a rebellion, hoping that the precedent
may not prove TOO costly; that the tihe
will come when those responsible for the thing
will hesitate to refer to their part In twill
even hope that their children may never hear
OF II.
But we like 20 recall the old-fashioned con-
ception regarding service such now
considering q total loss. A former student
under Gen. Robert Il. Lee refers to the one
tms when he was severely rebuked by the
former chieftein OF the confederate army. He
recites the incident thus:
Just once II was my lot TO receive n
severe rebuke from General Lee when
was an undergraduate my health seemed to
become impaired and he had a copversa-
ton with me about It. expressing the opin-
Ton that Il was working 100 hard l replied
that I was impatient to make up the time
had lost in the army got no further.
Lee flushed and exclaimed in almost an
angry tone Mr.. Humphreys, however long
You live and whatever you accumulate,
you will find that the time you spent in tho
army was the most profitaby spent portion
OF your life. Never again speak of having
lost time in the army And never again
did"
America has produced no finer type of pa
triot than Lee, despite the fact that for four
years. under no dciuson no far as he was per.
sonally concerned, his hand was raised against
| his government. The period any man spends ir
the uniform OF his country constitutes the mos
| valuable period OF his life.

sterling integrity. In that respect that he aim
cerely desires 20 serve his country and make
tho world better for having lived in IL. he " n
typical Roosevelt.
II he orrs, Il will be due to defects OF judg-
ment and to his failure TO think far enough
ahead to perceive tho full logic OF what he says
and does The point we are attempting TO make
ia that franklin Roosevelt is mighty good
citizen and n splendid subordinate official, but,
80 far, has proven himself miserably poor
politician.
That the building trades are sadly in need OF
some such service ns they hope 10 receive at
the hands OF Roosevelt Is beyond question.
There is n wide spread suspicion, amounting to
absolute conviction. that the building industry
Ia rotten to the core. that its leaders have com
blnod to rob and dospoi and that unhoiy al
lance exists between matorialmen, architects,
contractors and labor leaders Tho dlHcoursos
made by investigations conducted in New York
and Chicago have been corroborated by per-
sonal experience in practically every COM
munity in the United statos.
There IL nothing which so retards a sharp
recovery in the building trades as this public
conviction that for TO engage in con-
structlon enterprise under present conditions
and practices is for that man TO expose him
self TO tremendous graft and loss.
II Mr.. Roosevelt can bring about such re-
forms in this important industry as will ado-
auately protect tho investing public drive the
corrupt factors out of the game, secure the
adoption OF uniformly fair practices and thus

tors and matorialmen, he will have performed

THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF PARTY
LEADERSHIP.

There IL something more In party orgnnlga-
ion and positions within tho organization OF
leadership. than mere opportunity to wear
lightly political honors or intrigue for personel
satisfaction or individual benefit. with such
position goes responsibilities of great weight;
such positions arc more the personal prop
erty of the individual than are public positions
= of trust created by tho state.
Particularly should q minority party organ
isation take It's duties seriously. Because II
stands as the possible sanctuary for the people
when the majority party has become intolerabe
and altogether recresnt TO its trust. Such n
condition prevails in this state now. It Is not
to tho democratic party that the people look 90
for relief. Their eyes are fixed the repub-
lican party because OF its position Of opposition
20 democratic ideas OF government; because of
tho friendly enmity that exists between the
democratic and the republican organization.
It Is altogether likely that tho voters of this
stnte. given th- decent opportunity will give
tho governing mandate TO the republican party
in November. Therefore It bchooves the party
organization In both county and state, TO bestr
itself in the matter OF candidates. Tho organ
ixation should SEQ that all places on the ticket
are filled before the time for filing ends; not
