OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
The Soldiers Bonus.

Both senator's from Missouri, and
ten of the sixteen Congressman from
that state have expressed approval
for the proposed soldiers bonus, al
though several of them, in letters
written to j. X. Noonan, state al
jutant for the American Legion, have
indicated their vote on this measure
will depend, to large extent, upon
the means provided for raising tire
necessary funds.
This question of funds is the chief
remaining difficulty to the passage
of an adjusted compensation bill for
ex-service men. Every suggestion
made for raising this money through
special taxes has been followed by a
storm of protests from the class or
interests which would be called upon
to pay it. The sales tax, suggested
by President Harding, does not find
favor with the West, and manufac-
turers' tax is violently opposed IN tie
East.
Senator Spencer, in the letter he
has written, says he favors the borus.
particularly SO since both England
and France have paid bonuses to their
soldiers, and he is convinced that con-
gress will find the necessary revenue.
Senator Reed has declared himself for
bonus, although he has declined to
commit himself for a bill not yet
drafted. At the same time he insists
the proposed adjusted compensation
should not be made political foot
ball.
Congressman who have indicated
their support are: Reps. Millspaugh,
Lawrence, Atkeson, Roach, Newton,
Hawes, Dyer, Rhodes, Hays and Nc
Pherson.

Explanation to Our Patrons.

q
During the last two years the ac-
counts for the display advertising and
the subscriptions have been kept sep
arate. In the display advertising the
bills, in the majority Of cases, have
been sent fairly regular. every month,
but the other two sets of accounts
have been somewhat neglected. The
Union is therefore placed in the rather
embarrassing position of being, in
many cases, compelled to send bills Of
long standing to individuals who al
ways settle their accounts promptly.
Of course any person can tell when
his subscription expires by the address
label on his paper, but many people
never even look at that date.
Realizing that the present situation
is embarrassing to our readers as well
as ourselves, an effort will be made
hereafter to keep the subscription ac-
counts up to date. A prompt settle
ment will greatly facilitate matters
for all concerned.

Greetings From Our Absent Friends.
A stranger would be greatly sur
prised to learn how many former
Princetonians who now reside in dis
tant states wish to keep in touch with
this village. Princeton, like every
other place, has her faults but she has
also shining virtues and one of the
chief Of these is the warm friendly
feeling that has always existed among
the majority of residents in this vii
lage. Princeton loves her own and
that love evidently is returned.
The Union is taking the liberty to
print excerpts from a few letters re-
ceived during the lost couple of weeks:
Greensburg, Penn.
We have taken the Princeton Union
since 1915 and have received it every
week. We feel as though we cannot
be without it because it is the home
paper and gives us all the home news
which we so greatly enjoy reading.
We both are enjoying the best of
health although it has been from 92
to "a in the shade during the past
week.
We are enjoying big crop of fruit
this year. Mrs. Fred Crabtree.

and later with General Wolfe against
Canada. In both these campaigns he wins
distinction which reinstates him with his
former friends.
But he has had enough of London.
His mother is growing old and he will
go to her.
He arrives just as the colonies are on
the brink of revolution.
Madam Esmond is still stout royalist;
but Harry, child of the younger genera
ton, is Virginian, an American. He
joins General Washington, the friend of
his youth, and serves under him through
the war for independence.
In the meantime George Esmond War
rington, dressed in coat of scarlet, is
serving the king in the command of Gen.
eral Clinton.
The two factions clash, but the War
ringtons contrive to meet and exchange
greetings. Their politics may differ but
their hearts are unchanged one toward the
other.
Eventually George weds Theo Lambert
and settles down in the old world, an Eng
lish gentleman; but Gen. Harry Warning
ton ends his days in Virginia.
"On the library wall of one of the most
famous writers of America there hang
two crossed swords which his relatives
wore in the great war of independence.
The one sword was gallantly drawn in
the service of the king, the other was the
weapon of brave and honored republi-
can soldier" says Thackeray. "The COL
onel in scarlet and the general in blue
and buff hang side by side in the wains-
cotted parlor of the Warringtons in Eng
land, their love never having materially
diminished, however angrily the contest
divided them. -. These efhgies have al
ways gone by the name of The Virginians'
by which name their memoirs are chris
tened."-Condensation by Sara Ware Bas-
