breathed sigh OF relief when Mr..
Mccormick arrived alone.
Miss Louis Philbrick. Mr.. McCor-
mick's secretary, said last night that
Miss Methilde hopes that Miss
Mu~iel won't come home with their
father--she says Muriel will just
raise old Ned"
Dispatches from New York quot
Ing Miss Murlel as characteriing her
sisters matrimonial ambitions as
ridiculous" indicate the fear was
perhaps well founded.
The attitude OF Rockefeller to-
ward an alliance between his grand
daughter and the 4syear-old riding
master II not known.
According to reports here, osner.
although he conducts riding

has an Independent income of sl0.-

MANY OF the people" Mr. Howard
added, have suggested the re-enact-
ment OF the excess profits taxes. We
won't object.to it."
But the business men have been
promised relief from the excess
profits taxes, 20 there Is no comfort
In that suggestion to the distressed
congressman.
THE industries OF the country are
not opposing the most generous and
liberal care for all those who were
disabled" said President Edgerton,
in "A statement issued today. cor the
dependents Of those who were killed
or suffered casualties in the world
war. We do. however. seriously op-
pose all propositions for cash ap-
propriations from the federal treas
ury to pay bonuses, or so-called 'ad-
justed compensation as being Sc
verely unwise and an economic alb
surdity especially preposterous.
A Congressional boomerang.
"That the millions of young men
who rallied to their country's call In
time OF It's threatened peril can have
their votes at the November election,
1922, bought by paltry dole of
$500 or 5000. payable $50 a quarter.
beginning sometime in 1928. is such
an insult to their intelligence, and
outrage upon their sense OF decency,
that in my opinion 1t will defeat for
reelection every member OF con-
gress, house or senate, who supports
this inlquitous measure.
These soldiers know that all sums
would be quickly dlssipated; that
$40 month, or so cents n day
would not be enough TO prove of sub
stantial pecuniary benefit, and they
must realize that billions so expend-
ed will have to be repaid by them
and the members of their families in
increased taxes and increased cost
of living, These funds must be at
first taken from the business inter-
ests OF the country. Business recov-
cry and opportunities for employ
ment will thereby be materially de-
layed."
Mr.. Edgerton also made the point
that all but three OF the states had
voted appropriations for soldier
bonuses, and those states are the
ones that pay the bulk OF the federal
taxes, so the award OF n federal
bonus would penalize them for their
generosity.
Despite Mr.. Edgerton's prophecy
| OF political disaster to the congress-
men who vote for the bonus, there
seems no prospect of its defeat. The
circumstance that the newspaper or
gans of the veterans are displaying
prominently the names of the sena-
| tors who have announced themselves
as being opposed TO the bonus indi-
Gates that the example of the anti
| Saloon league in its campaign Tor
the dry amendment has not been lost
on those who are conducting the
| fight for the bill. Such tactics
worked then and there is every pros
pect that they will work now. A
possible difficulty in getting the
merchants and manufacturers TO
supply campaign fund for a presi-
dental election two years hence
does not weigh heavily against the
danger OF estranging lot OF votes
with an election approaching.
