Senator BOrah on the Bonus

From the New York Herald.
senator Borah's speech on the
soldier bonus was typical of the
ldaho statesman. He is never an
opportunlst, never a slave TO party
expediency. never n deme egogue. He
long has had the reputation OF being
tho finest orator in congress. But
what is far moro important Is that
no Is the boldest and aavest man
in congress.
Mr.. Borah took hold Of the bonus
question--the great legislative mis-
take which congress has seemed on
the brink OF maklng--with bare,
rough hands. lie tore hole in its
false front and showed it's real face.
When Senator Jones OF New Mexico
tried TO get Borah to accept the
phrase adjusted compensation" in
stead of OF "bonus" or "gratuity."
Borah wrenched the mask of words
from the sham. Adjusted TO what +?
To the standard OF a stable boys or
charwoman's wages? No, IL would
be an insult * offerd as compensa-
tion; It must. II anything, be "A gift.
And II a gift, how can the country
afford TO give Il? How can gov
ernment already burdened with a
debt OF "a billions afford to go deep
er in the hole?
Senator Borah struck his most
telling blow when he brought up the
matter OF the disa bled soldiers and
sailors. IL is now costing tho United
States half a billion dollars year
to care for these men. As MIR. Borah
said, nobody will complain OF this
expenditure so long as the appro-
priations are based on the necessities
anG requirements OF the disabled vet
erans. There will be no complaint IL
1t becomes necessary. as MIR. Borah
predicts, TO spend n billion and a
half a year on these men ten years
from now.
But the care OF the disabled SOL
diers and Sailors is now costing the
United States as much as tho total
expenses Of the government 90 years
ago. This care of men who were
incapacitatod in their countrys serv-
ice cannot be lessened. Even IL the
total cost is rs billions in the next
40 or so years II must be paid. There
is n great moral obligation OF n ma

There has been no previous news
OF friction between Greece and Bull
garia. The chief seat OF unrest in
the Balkans has been Albania, where
the Albanians and Serbians were en-
gagged in guerilla warfare. At the
height of this fighting, late In 1921,
II was reported that Greek troops
would be sent into southern Albania,
but 90 far as known, this military
movement was never executed.
Greece is already at war with the
Turkish nationalists and the status

proper authorities TO prosecute stock
swindlers and to take proper action
even where there is only suspicion
of intent to defraud. This is about
as far as such legislation can go.
There is no licensing or inspection
provision to whitewash the security
vender and give the investor false
sense of security, but there is ample
leeway within which the District At
torney can act on any complaint or
on his own initiative.
Perhaps the only effective way to
deal with bucket shop men and other
classes of stock swindlers is to edu-
cate the great and constantly re-
newed body Of tenderfoot investors.
The inexperienced cannot of course
be transformed into investment ex-
perts in day; neither can the ordi-
nary risks of trading In bonds and
shares be eliminated. But 1t may be
possible to teach some of the many
persons who have money TO put out
to investigate both the broker and
the security before they invest.

Orchardists Are Busy.

Orchardists have been pruning
and spraying their trees under ex-
ceptional conditions during February
and there should be a fine yield OF
fruit II Jack Frost does not pay one
Of his belated visits.
Pruning fruit trees calls for the
exercise OF good Judgment. The man
who takes too much wood from a
tree in single year infiicts shock
from which the tree RECEIVERS slowly.
Apple trees will stand severer prun-
ing than peach, plum or cherry trees.
The expert uses saw and shears spar.
ingly on the smaller fruits.
The chief object in pruning apple
trees is to establish and maintain an
open head. This enables the sun to
reach every part OF the tree and
exert its beneflcent influence on the
development and ripening OF the
fruit. Many astonishing results have
been achieved through the pruning
and care OF long neglected apple
orchards.
The manner In which Nature re-
spends to mans efforts renders the
work of the orchardist one of the most
fascinating OF outdoor vocations.

Last Of the Bowmen.

The ancient sport Of archery has
Just received q sad blow In it's last
stronghold. For years the Royal
Toxophilite Society, the oldest ez-
listing archery society in the world,
formed in 1881 through the union Of
several ancient organizations of bow
men, has enjoyed the exclusive right
to the Archers Hall and a shooting
ground in Regents Park, London.
A short time ago. however, the Com
mission OF Works, with an iconoclasm
which respects neither the glorious
traditions OF archery nor the men,
ory OF ROBIN Hoop, JOHN o. GAuNr
and the men OF the green forest,
told the archers to get out because
their range was wanted for other
purposes.
Archery as a sport never had the
hold in America that II had in Great
Britain. But very remarkable
thing is that survival of the an

The Remedy for Bucketing.

Commendable efforts are being
made by the authorities TO deal with
sellers Of fraudulent stock, bunco
steerers and bucket shop promoters,
who have tiourished as never before
on the rise and fall of the after war
boom. The simple recommendation
recently set forth by District Attor.
ney BANToN for remedial legislation,
proper enforcement of the existing
laws and the education CT the public
against bucket shop thieves are evil
dence Of his desire not only to clean
up existing frauds but to prevent sim
liar operations in the future.
The sordid facts set forth in the
series Of articles in THE NEW YORK
HERALD concerning the unbridled
license enjoyed in the last few years
by nationwide stock swin6lers leave
no room to dispute the need for de-
cisive and effective action against
this evil. How this can be done and
done with dispatch is not an easy
question to answer. Protecting in
vestors and spectators against their
own folly Is a social as well as
financial problem which goes back
even further than the story Of Shy
lock and the pound Of flesh or the
Biblical lesson of the wasted talents.
The problem was live one in the
days when EsAU sold his birthright.
Investors are In effect money lend
ers. Unless they possess sagacity and
caution informed by experience they
can come through without loss only
by accepting the advice of others
whom they know beyond doubt to
possess these qualifications. Luck
and the law Of averages as counsel
ors, unaided by vision and good judg-
ment, invariably bring disaster.
The limitations are greater than
the possibilities for benefit in the
matter OF legislation to help the In
vestor or money lender. II is not
theory but hard experience that the
so-called blue sky laws when they
are equipped with teeth cannot be
enforced, and are useless when not
equipped with teeth. States with the
strongest blue sky laws found that
swindlers who sold bogus stock and
ran fake brokerage Offices had no
difficulty in evading the statutes and
their profits were all the larger be-
cause investors believed themselves
legally safeguarded against fraud.
Suggestions that stock exchanges
be compelled to incorporate and sub
NIT to rigid inspection by Govern
ment officials miss the point. Most
Of the stock swindlers are not mem
bers Of any exchange. Those who
are members would have no trouble
covering up their illegitimate trans
actions through the medium Of ficti-
tious accounts which would throw
even the most expert examiner off
the trail.

The Housing Bill of Rights.

It is easy enough to call the Fed
eral court decree covering evil build
ing trade practices new bill Of
rights for the home builder. IL is
easy enough to say that the agree
ment of the unions in the industry
TO stop restricting production, to sop
debating where materials must he
bought and to abandon the practice
of similar abuses will end the house
builders troubles. But these agree
ments, ii must be remembered, are
made by culpable employers and en-
ployees who are seeking thereby to
tighten legal penalties already i'm
posed upon them for their wrong
doing or to forestall punishment
threatening to fall upon them. And
IL is a proverb that when the devil
is sick the devil a saint would be.
What Is going to induce men Of
plant consciences to walk straight, IL
anything can, is to make them un-
derstand that If they do not walk
straight the heavy hand of the law
will come down upon them with a
wallop. What is going to convince
straight walking employers and en-
ployees that they can continue their
honest ways without being waylaid
by crooked capital on the one side
and crooked labor on the other side
is to make 1t clear to them that the
wrongdoer will be restrained from
resuming his vicious work against
them, not merely by his agreement
but by wholesome fear Of what the
law will do to him II he does resume
his wrongdoing.
There is nothing finer than faith
in mankind as a whole. But such
faith is blind IL it does not see that
in every considerable group OF men
there are some who make promises
chiefly to break them. Such faith
is stupid II it does not realize that
the crook must always be guarded
against, whatever his promises OF
good conduct and whatever the laws
that forbid his kind to do injustice
and injury to his fellow man.
1t will be time enough to hail the
housing "bill of rights" as the rem
edy of all the troubles Of the home
owner and the tenant, of the honest
contractor and the honest worker,
when 1t has been proved that the
wrongdoer can be and Is kept sup
pressed. Meanwhile neither the pub
lie nor the law should relax its
vigilance.

Miss Robertson's Courage.

The only woman member of Con-
gress, Miss ALICE NJ. ROBERTSON Of
Oklahoma, has exhibited stanch
moral courage in her attitude toward
the bonus raid. Long before the ma
tionwide revolt against the bonus
had attained its present momentum
Miss ROBERTSON, in public state.
ment, put herself on record as fatty
opposed to it and announced her In
tention of voting against 1t.
Representative ROBERTSON did not
wait to find out whether her course
would be popular in her district. She
analyzed the bonus proposal, her in
telligence and her conscience rejected
it, and she told her constituents ex-
actly what she thought OF it.
From the moment OF our entrance
into the war Miss ROBERTSON s
stanch American patriotism and her
womaEly sympathies for the men
who were to expose their lives for
their country we're aroused. In all
Oklahoma the man in the uniform Of
the United States had no warmer
friend than the present Representa-
tive from the Second district of that
State. She had no thought of being
member of Congress then. She was
running large restaurant which
took all her time, and one Of the first
war orders she issued In her estab-
lishment was that every service man
was to have his meals served there
free Of cost.
Since the war and since her elec-
tion to Congress her interest in the
service men has not for an instant
abated. One of her first acts on
reaching Washington was to appoint
q service man as her secretary. Miss
RoBERTsoN's acquaintance with SER
vice men has been such as to give her
a good knowledge of their disposi-
tions, and she is not deceived by the
noise few are making in the effort
to convince Congress all of them
want the bonus.
Like the majority OF other Ameri-
cans, Miss RoBERTsoN's respect for the
American soldier was shocked at the
implication that he wanted a cash tip
for answering his country's call to
defend it from foreign enemy. No
vote of hers, she resolved, should
ever expose him to so humiliating
a suggestion. She has been care
full at all times not TO confuse the
statement of her position on the
bonus question with any qualifica-
ton. She was opposed to the bonus,
she would not vote for It, and she
said so. When others might seek
smoke screens she stood right out in
the open and spoke her mind.
