Two Bonus Bills
Ordered Drafted


Senate finance committee republicans.
at a conference yesterday, directed
that two separate soldiers bonus bills
embodying the plans proposed by
Chairman McCumber and Senator
Smoot of Utah be drafted for con-
sideration by the majority. probably
on Monday.
The McCumber plan embraces the
House bill provision for adjusted
service certificates. but with the loan
provisions broadened, while the Smoot
plan contemplated a paid-up twenty
year endowment life insurance policy
without any borrowing provisions.
Under the McCumber proposal q
veteran who had defaulted in his
payments on loan made to him on
his certificate would be permitted at
any time during the life Of the cer-
tificate to repay the principal OF the
loan plus interest at the rate Of 4K
per cent per annum and have his
rights in the certificate restored.
While the committee majority has
reached no Anal decision on any of
the features Of the bonus bill, 1t
seems to be practically certain that
the land settlement option will be
stricken from the House measure.

official, but altogether authoritative. It is not
permissible to quote the President, nor even
to refer to hi1a directly, but the writer's know
that he is steering them straight" and they
make statements with confidence, and ii
they report accurately there will be no come

not use this method to sound out" public

and only the facts.
The President has kept up the conferences
uninterruptedly during his incumbency while
in Washington, and the newspaper writer's
hope it has become liaison instrument be-

In this connection. it is noted by the writer's
who attended the arms limitation and far
eastern conference that the conference

1t is in full force at Genoa, where 700 writer's
from all over the world are assembled.
Lloyd George found occasion only last week
to send forth to all lands his dramatic warn

of the menace of the alliance between Russia
and Germany, through the simple. straight
forward way of addressing an assemblage of
correspondents. He was able to ssay informal

an official statement without offense.
The foreigners who came to the Washington
arms conference quickly realized the pos

newspaper writer's, an innovation to them. and
seized upon all opportunities with avidity.

BY N. o. MESSENGER.

A THE White House it is said that
~. President Harding finds frequent oc-
~ casion for q chuckle and sometimes for
frown over the grandiQse pronounce
ments Of some Of his visitors, and of others
who gave It out that they were visitors. but
who never had audience with the chief execu-
tive at all. At times he is embarrassed by
these outputs of wiseacre tenor, when their
authors color their statements to suit their
own ends. without strict adherence to facts
1t amuses him to read a dispatch that Leading
Citizen Umps Of Ballyhoo will have confer
ence with the President. but 1t rubs him the
wrong way when Mr.. Umps. who had no ap-
pointment for conference. later gives out
alleged outline of the Presidents attitude
on some question. Especially. too. when Mr.
Umps had not darkened the door of the White
House with his presence.
There are several ways of getting the cor
rect slant on the Presidents views and at
>-titude Congress obtains it in the messages
of the President to that body. and sometimes
through letters over his signature to indi-
vidual senator's representatives. The lat
ter method is an informal way of communi-
eating the Presidents opinion upon legislative
matters without investing it with the sugges-
tions Of dictation or propaganda.
Quite frequently member of one Of the
houses. perplexed by conflicting reports of
what the President thinks about pending leg
islation. will write him a letter, and upon re-
ceiving q reply makes it public for the gen.
eral edifcation. All Presidents have utilized
this method of calculating executive opinion
1t will be remembered by old-timers that
President Cleveland wrote letter to a demo-
cratic member Of the House in which he said
some uncompimentary things about his own
party's legislation.

How is the President getting along with
Congress?
Well, the present writer would venture the
suggestion that he is getting along famously,
and largely by reason of his policy of render
ing unto Caesar the things which are Caesars.
1t is not believed the President is pleased with
the efforts of some Of his friends who would
picture him cracking the whip over Con-
gress or posing as a dictatorial leader Of his
party. AS he realizes, he has the constitu-
tional right to make recommendations and
suggestions to Congress. as well as to veto its
action in his judgment, subject to reversal
by two-thirds vote.
He has been adhering closely to his consti-
tutional rights and it is predicted that he will
continue to do So. At the same time. he is
ever intent upon maintaining his rights

Historic Town Of Appomattox
Almost Reverted to Wilderness

Stirred by the Grant centenary. the
thoughts Of many men went back last
week to Appomattox. The village has
nearly disappeared. Three OF four
houses have survived fire, storm and
neglect, but even these are warped
and sagging, and the promise is that
they, too, will soon fall and that pines
will cover their site.
The hamlet at the time Of the sur
render; April .. 1866. was the seat of
Appomattox county. After four years
Of war 1t was then a seedy cluster Of
houses. There was group Of dwell
ing houses, hiring stable, a hotel or
tavern, a blacksmith shop and a store
or two that leaned around the court
house square. The court building
burned down about thirty years ago,
and the desolated court square was
long incumbered with ashes, charred
plaster, shattered brick and bits of
glass distorted by fire. Up through
that debris big trees grew. and they
keep the company of the older trees
which shaded the court square and
which survived the burning of the
courthouse.
Where Lee Surrendered.
You can walk through the garden
of the house in which the surrender
took place. It was the home of Will
mer Mclean. It was broad-fronted
brick house, with a covered porch in
front, and the entrance was in the
middle, with a hallway through the
center. It was in the parlor on the
right Of the entrance that Gen. Lee,
accompanied by his military secre-
tary, Col. Charles Marshall, met Gen.
Grant and his star and signed the
articles of surrender.
There were two places called Appo-
mattox In 1866. One was Appomattox
Court House and the other Appomat-
tox Station. stopping place for trains
on the railroad between Petersburg
and Lynchburg. It was at Appomat-
