ON SECOND THOUGHT
BY JAY e. HOUSE
IFrom Philadelphia Public Ledger.)


Some Letters.
Sir-Your generosity is amazing.
and no doubt your offer of a reward
for the most scathing denunciation of
Mr.. Macnider's demand that pussy
footing policies be supplanted with
some definite action will cause a
stampede among our representatives
at the national, capital to get their
names first on your list.
Methinks that after they have quail
flied, they will need more nursing chan
the publicity OF your column ana in
all of those of your capitalistic con-
temporaries can supply to wean them
back to the favor of public opinion
which they are endeavoring to main
tain by their present asinine antics.
J. G.. SEMPLE.
Sir-It may interest you to know
that there is at least one ex-service
man who is no longer represented by
Macnider. have sent my resignation
to the legion, and my only regret is
that my sphere of influence is so re-
stricted. 1 would like to be an editor
or silver-tongued spellbinder long
enough to get the bonus question off
my chest. There must be thousands
who feel as I do, but We have no Of
fetal spokesman at Washington.
MALCOLM K. WRIGHT.
Sir-Thank you for your inspiring
letter this morning. Beneath the hu-
NOR of your writing there is a won
derful spirit of true patriotism and
common sense, which if more people
will awaken within themselves will
dispel the ridiculous and sordid notion
of our government giving ex-service
men who are sound in mind and body
a bonus at this time or in the future.
Keep up your fine work; we all need
your sanity.
ABLE-BODIED Ex-SERVICE MAN.
If you had a country to save, need
ed two more men to do the work and
the job, which two would you select
Formerly they asked US if we were
any relation to Colonel House. Now
expect to play golf with President
Harding.
That were an excursion into the
realm of conjecture which we do not
care personally to direct. All we have
to say is If we don't play golf with
him there is nothing in advertising.
Meanwhile. we trust the admins
tration will not alter its tacitly an
nounced plan not to interfere in the
impending coal strike. Sooner or later
coal strike is inevitable. Now is the
time to have it.
II understand American girls will
marry anybody" Mrs. Asquith is
quoted as saying. They have and do.
Some of them have gone so far as to
marry titled Englishmen.
Not that we care or that we have
anything against titled Englishmen.
But Mrs. .ASQuith can't pull anything
over here and get away with it.
OF fact. we have always contended
that the daughter of American money
is entitled to marry whomsoever she
pleases and can get. The theory that
the practice is ~eprehensible never
impressed US.

JUST FOLKS
~ EDGAR a. GUEsT.

SUCCESS.
This I would claim for my success-not
fame nor gold,
Nor the throng's changing cheers from
day to day,
Not always ease and fortunes glad dis
play
Tho all Of these are pleasant joys TO hold:
But L would like to have my story told
By smiling friends with whom I've
shared the way,
Who, thinking of me, nod their heads
and say:
His heart was warm when other hearts
were cold.
None turned to him for aid found it not,
His eyes were never blind to mans dis
tress,
Youth and old age he lived. nor once for
got
The anguish and the ache of loneliness:
His name free from stain shame
full blot
And in his friendship men found happi-
ness"

One big life insurance company an
nounces that it paid in death claims
during 1921, to beneficiaries under its
policies, more than s4s.OOO.OOO About
20 per cent Of this amount was paid
on account of twelve important causes
OF death which it says are admittedly
in the preventable or postponable
class These huge totals indicate the
extent of the interest OF life insur-
ance companies in modern public
health measures directed at the con-
troll or the prevention of disease.
Nearly ss,50o.0OO was disbursed on
account OF tuberculosis. More money
was paid out for this disease than for
any other single cause in the list
This amount. however. was slightly
less than the claim payments for the
same disease during 1920. Heart dis
ease showed an increase of nearly
100000 in claim disbursements for
1921 over those for 1920. The total
amount paid out for organic diseases
Of the heart on all classes OF the
company's business in 1921 was SIS
$4,000. The Improvement in the
heart disease death rate IN 1891 over
1920 was slight. Measures for the
prevention OF heart disease, says the
company'si bulletin, will. in time. les
sen the ton of this group of diseases.
