The bill for the bogus bonus is still
in doubt. At present it is struggling
with the much-amendcd tariff bill to
see which shall gain the right of way
in the Senate. There is little chance
that the soldiers will be lucky enough
t" have the bonus provisions so
changed that they will not have TO pay
interest to the bankers. The fnan-
cial interests will see to it that they
either receive a sales tax as the price
of their consented the bonus will only
be obtainable after paying tribute to
the banks.

had always been provided for this
purpose, but some officials who prob
ably desired to win the approval Of
the royal eye for prosperous mo-
mCnt, conceived tho idea that the
successor Of Jackson and Lincoln
should ride in palatial state such as
was affected by the Roman emperor
of those luxurious times preceding
the fatal day when the barbarians
stabbed their horses in the Forum. A
fortyfvc thousand dollar launch is
the result; it is used about five
minutes per week. 1t is built of
solid mahogany from the forests Of
Santo Domingo, dcckcd with the sill
yer of Mexico and cushioned with the
silks of the Orient. 1t would require
the fcrvid imagination of Poe or a
Rider Haggard to visualize some of
Harding's predecessors using the
hardwrung taxes of the farmer and
the laborer for this ostcntation of
luxury while preaching economy in
every breath. Who can imagine old
Andrew jackson, who slept in his
tent with his spurs on in the muddy
Chalmettc bottoms waiting for the
British to land, allowing his under
strappers to buy such bauble for
him out the peoples money? And
how would Lincoln look, who could
split more rails from sun to sun than
any other man in his county, looking
back in the down-filled cushions of
this wonderful boat? The party of
Lincoln has fallen into strange con
troll in these later days.

NEWS PARAGRAPHS
FROM WASHINGTON

(By Special News Correspondent
Washington, d. G.. April 17.-An-
other special election in the strongest
Republican territory, in northern New
York State, has given the party
cause for serious misgivings. In 1920
the district gave a Republican ma
jority Of almost 10000 but in the
election held the other day the Re-
publican candidate was thankful for
onc-tenth that much. On the same
day New Britain, Conn.,, went Demo-
cratic for the first time in long
stretch Of years
The claim of the Washington Post,
whose editor left the party of his
fathers for the social entrcc at the
White House, taht Liberty bonds have
returned to the vicinity Of par be-
cause Of the wonderful government
al economies Of the administration, is
considered very good joke in Wash
ngton. The Post neglected to give
the figures on the economies" which
wo, u show that up to date the Con-
gressional appropriations are running
a ncck-and-ncck race with those of
last year, but enjoying small lead
1t is also worthy Of comment that
Liberty bonds arc not alone in the adj
vance; every bond listed on the New
York Stock Exchange is higher than
last year, as we'll as almost every
single stocE. Last September this
writer directed attention to the situa-
ton and stated that Wall Street was
preparing to celebrate the election Of
Harding with a big bond market, and
asked the reader to cut out the quo
tations on the New York Stock Ex-
change and compare with those six
months and year later. The six
months period has elapsed and the
average gain on a list Of fifty repres-
cntativc rail and industrial stocks ia
more than $50 per share. The hoard
cd surplus Of capital in the cities has
brought the eastern money rate down
to the vicinity Of d per cent, and in
( that condition the Liberty bond is
naturally in demand by the holders
of large amounts Of idle money.

It was intended to impress the negro Ameri- can with the idea that the majority party now in congress was his friend his real protector and that the opposition was the enemy of the race This was accomplished when the minority leaders openIv launched a flibuster against the measure and it's ends being attained the majority was not reluctant to let the matter slide into oblivion where if will remain until 1t is thought necessary again impress the negro with another display of the majoritys regard the enort deceived the race it did no one else The country may be thankful that the measure has been dumped into the legislative boneyard of Con greSs.
