Washington, June al have never
yet made a threat that the govern
ment would send a single man to pris-
on or that a single dollar would be
recovered from individuals, firms and
corporations charged with being gull
" of profiteering during the war:
This was the declaration made TO-
day TO the Gazette correspondent by
Attorney General Daugherty when he
was questioned concerning the inves-
tigation into war frauds now under
way by the Department of Justice.
1--WE cannot make such threats and
conduct our business in an orderly
fashion" the Attorney General con-
tinued. I'VE promise the public to
do everything in our power in order
that Justice may prevail and as oppo-
sition and interference to our inves--
tigation may not prevent. In the end
the interferences with our work will
be found out to be inspired for other
reasons than those most frequently
given to the public. Such charges
were to be expected and we are not
surprised nor discouraged in the least
bv these attempts from the outside.

Although the soldier bonus bill, in
volving before it is all paid an eXpen-
diturc of $5,000,000,000 by the Fed
eral Treasury, now has place on the
calendar of the Senate, it is already
apparent that the measure has a rocky
road ahead before it can ever be en-
acted into law.
In the first place the Senate has
other far more pressing business be-
fore il The patch-piece Republican
tariff must be passed by the Senate
after the Democrats have had an op-
portunity to show to the people OF the
country Just what an iniquitous meas
ure it really is and how the big inter
eSts are protected against the workers,
the laborers and the ordinary citizens
of small means. According to Senator
Simmons, of North Carolina, ranking
Democratic member of the Finance
Committee. the debate on the tariff so
far as his side of the senate is con-
cerned will probably be prolonged un-
Ill August 16. Therefore, it would
seem that there is little prospect OF
any action on the soldier bonus within
the next three months and it may be
that the measure will be permitted to
90 over until the next session OF
Congress.
