Ancient Philosophy.

M ANOEL HEKRlCk, Representative from
lvl Oklahoma. whose vigorous observations
on love, life and aviation frequently have reached
the public eye through this and other newspapers,
has ceased to be original. His philosophy in
defeat is precisely that of 90 per cent of all
rejected statesmen. Not even Mr.. Herricks charm
ing grammatical and rhetorical style, at once so
forcerul and yet so naive, can conceal the fact
that tis mind in the same channels as do
the minds of his colleagues.
Out of the Oklahoma prairies two years ago
came Herrick to Washington-a crusader seeking
the holy grail. He much evil in the world
much tyranny and much suffering He saw lovely
damsels in the power of vile enchanters and set
his spear atilt to rescue them. He rode out into
the open field of the tournament grounds and
challenged the crowd. In the contests that fol-
Lowell the white knight of the cotton blossom and
tat capon took some painful falls But he fought
boldly on with broken staff and bleeding pride
And on the sdelines all the beautiful ladies of
the court at Washington appauded him with
filters.
Then he went back to Oklahoma He ex-
pected to be received as conquering hero by
the knaves yokelry, Wallets. pages and stable bows
of his native kingdom. He even purchased an
airplane in order that his return might be in ap-
propriate style
He found to his intense surprise and disap-
rough falls in the tournament at Washington the
vassals were ploughing, planting and reaping back
IN Oklahoma in blissfu ignorance of the vaior OF
their champion They didn't even have the county
brass band out to meet him. And they rewarded
him by electing another man in his place.
Sir Manuel is sadder and wiser knight TODAY
Here's the way he tells about it: Most of the vot.
ers are dumb driven voting Cattle During that
campaign of II days l met men who thought
Dick t. Morgan still congressman and that j
was trying to take his job ava from him and still
others who thought that Charles Swindell was the
man who served out the unexpred term of Nor
gan OF two months and 20 days and that | was
trying to take his job ava from him and still
others who thought that both me and Swnde was
congressman and still others who did not know
there was congressman and did not care"
20 the voters dumb driven cattle Where
have we heard this before? There is strangely
famiii9i ring to the words
Not even Mr.. Herrick's forceful use of the
Presidents American unalloyed can conceal the
fact that he is woeful plagiarist from the pub
ished works of defeated candidates ever since
Cain lost out in the elections outside the Garden
OF Eden; or it may be that the same circumstances
breed the same thoughts in all men,

In view OF the present unsettled
conditions owing to disturbances
caused by actions Of so-called labor
organizations. the following is sug-
gested as a remedy tor preventative
of so-called strikes" or the more
genteel term voluntary suspension Of
work.
Have the Congress Of the United
States enact legislation to effect
that "a Every labor organization
except shop organizations consist
ing only of employees within an in
dustry and in nowise affiSated with
or in any manner subject to the
orders. rules or regulations of an
outside organization, shall be in
corporated under Federal control.
with proviso that the membership
OF such incorporated organisation
shall be held collectively and indi-
vidually liable for the acts of It's
membership, either collectively or
individually, resulting in damages
to employers or the general public
(2) Amend the criminal code, SO
Is to provide that any person who
voluntarily on his or her own initia-
tive or upon the orders Of the Of
ficials of a labor organization. shall
in any manner intimidate any per-
son who desires to work, shall be
adjudged guilty of a crime and
upon conviction thereof shall, FOR
the first offense be subject to a fine
of $1,000 and Imprisonment for one
year. and five years Imprisonment
for each subsequent offense.
(3) And provide further. that any
person who. while engaged in a So
called strike or suspension of
work" shall be found assembling,
congregating or lettering in the
vicinity Of. or trespassing upon the
property of former employer.
shall be adjudged guilty of a mis-
demeanor and upon conviction shall
be subject to a fine of $500 and three
months Imprisonment for each Of

In Which Sentiment for Dead
Soldiers Is Contrasted With
Sediment for Living.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
In a few days the matter of the
soldiers adjusted, compensation
will come up again before the Sem
ate. 1t will receive the concen-
trated opposition of thirty or less
Senators, who will clamor that the
passage of the measure will violate
the principle of economy; that the
government has not the funds on
hand to support 1t. and that 1t will
necessitate additional taxation on
heavily burdened citizens.
To these thirty conscientious OBJ
jectors I would like to say that I
admire their good motives, but that
II they are So perturbed about the
peoples money why do they not
legislate for a reduction in their
own pay. or in some cases where
they can well afford 1t, why can't
they work for 81 year and help
us out?
There's lady Representative
who says those who advocate the
bonus are putting a premium on
their patriotism. And yet sweet
Alice delivered a sobbing speech
asking for the appropriation out of
army funds for the pavement of
a road leading to an obscure ceme-
terry to which persons hiked every
year to strew flowers on the graves
of several departed soldiers. It's
the old story of sentiment for the
dead and sediment for the living.

Wants Senate to Pass Bonus
Over Presidents Head,
If He VetOeS II.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Much has been said about the
soldiers bonus but very little has
been done. except by the House,
which has twice passed the bill and
referred it TO the Senate. why the
Senate has held the bill up has not
been revealed to the public except
to a few who oppose the bill and
encourage their friends in the Sem
rsN to Vote against the bill for
reasons that 1t may mean a finan-'
cial burden on them; but when
those fellows that are looking for
ward to the passabe of such a bill
was being ordered to Europe the
parties who now oppose the bill
were willing to make all kinds OF
sacrifices to keep their sons from
having to go to the front and take
the chance that some poor boys had
to take and were glad to get the
chance to fight for the Stars and
Stripes.
As the bill read when last brought
up on the fioor of the Senate. it
provides a very good compensation
and with a few minor changes,
should be passed Immediately.
Some Senators have stated that
should the bill be passed the Presi-
dent will veto it-let him veto, and
then use the last resort and pass it
over his head, as was done when
President Wilson vetoed the bill re-
ducing the personnel of the army
in March. 1921. That will be proof
that their intentions have been
good and that they were determ-
ined to prove that 1t was not due
to the Senate that the bill was not
passed early in March Of this year.
Some of the boys have died. some
been killed. but there still remains
thousands who are now in need of
the money and could use II 10 a
great advantage at this particular
time to provide necessities of life.

GSI ETTER BOXES on every dwelling house
l. in the District no mail" says Assist
ant Postmaster General Bartlett The edct sounds
a trife Prussian at first and is not likely to find
much popular favor. But the Assistant Post
master General is we'll within his rights
The Postoffice Department is doing its best to
speed up the mails. The postal service of the
United States is very large and very complicated
bit OF machinery. The wheels must be oiled in
order to run smoothly. 1t is proper enough to
ask the public, who get all the benefits to supply
little of the oil.
The first essential is to have efficient deliv-
cry. 1t is the duty of the Postoffice Department
to furnish this to the public but it is also the duty
of the public to cooperate
Placing mail boxes in front of houses is a
small thing to ask But consider the hundreds of
hours saved every year in the time of overworked
carriers Consider the time wasted at each house
where there is no place to put the mail All this
makes the wheels turn roughly 1t is well enough
to be trifle Prussian if the fault can be done
away with.

Is Socialism Christianity? ?
Some Socialists Seem to
Think So.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Mr.. Shaffer's article was a splen-
did elucidation of Communism Of
the Bible. 1t shows the economic
and religious stand taken by Jesus
and His Jewish followers. As he
said: There are very few min
listers of the Gospel today who are
willing to go that far" likewise a
Communists are not willing to go
that far.
But as I read in ancient history,
there were at the time of Jesus se-
cret organizations of labor which
belonged to the various crafts. They
were banded together for mutual
protection, aid and economic, as
well as religious purposes; as the
Scriptures say. Jesus was a car
penter.
The Jewish law-givers gave these
three important fundamental prin-
ciples, namely: Thou shalt not
sell the land forever" Thou shalt
not take a mortgage on the mill
stone:" Thou shalt not exact
usury."
AZ Jesus SUI utpiiscu Sho ndooi
and priests of His knowledge of
the law, 1t follows that these were
the subjects that He explained to
them.
AS I understand 1t, the Commun-
lists were those put IN charge to
set the example for the great band
of union followers: SO likewise we
find the Communists of Russia,
those that are the strongest of pAn-
ciple and can be relied upon to
stand against all opposition. IL In
any way failing to comply with the
Communist law. they are weeded
out from the order. These Com
munists set the example for the
