No Bonus Gag in the Senate.

There will be no gag rule in the
Senate of the United States while the
bonus bill is under consideration.
The advocates of the horizontal
bonus will have opportunity TO tell
in the Senate why they want to pile
$4,000, 100000 more of debt on the
already burdened American people.
The opponents Of the horizontal
bonus will have opportunity in the
Senate to expose the menace Of the
scheme.
The American people will have OPP
portunity to hear the defense put
forward by legislators who, when
national economy is patriotic duty,
are willing to put a price tag on
patriotism itself for the sake of a
few votes in primaries or at the
general election.
This is a fine thing. 1t means that
no Senator will be able to say with
truth that he was not informed as to
the exact meaning Of the proposed
horizontal bonus to the United States
and to it's people. There are United
States Senators of both great politi-
cal parties who scorn to traffic for
votes with the public's money, men
like BoRAH among the Republicans
and WILLIAMS among the Democrats,
who will tell the truth about the
bonus.
This concession of full public de-
bate in the Senate has been wrung
from bonus statesmen by aroused
public opinion-the aroused public
opinion which has demonstrated in
the primaries how utterly ignorant
of the American soldier those politi-
clans were who thought he could be
bought with horizontal bonus.
That aroused public opinion,
American opinion, has changed the
atmosphere in which bonus states
men live. They have begun to feel
the anger OF outraged constituencies,
the wrath of betrayed people.

Billy Patterson.
A Campfire Tale Transfers Hin
From New York to Oxford.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: John
Philip Sousa's reference to the old mys-
terry of who struck Billy Patterson re-
calls the only explanation I ever heard
of the cause for that much repeated
query.
In June OF 1894, while camping in the
Yosemite Valley with Herbert Hoover
and other college associates. we got UP
a great campfire gathering, to which
were summoned only the college folk then
among the hundreds of campers in that
wonderful valley. Our campfire was in
natural amphitheater under the Royal
Arches, up near Mirror Lake and close
beside the icy Merced River. The reg
lstry that night showed men and women
present from thirty-seven different col
leges of America and Europe.
James Brett Stokes, Princeton 81, n
related the story responsible for the
question who struck Billy Patterson"
In years gone by there was an annual
feud night conflict between the univer-
sity students at oxford and the river
boatmen. Billy Patterson was the rec
ognized leader among the boa tmen and
a bruiser to be dreaded. To capture
him became the special object Of the
English collegians.
This was effected. Billy was hurried
away one rush night to an awesome
chamber There all the assembled were
in black gowns and cowls and were
masked. A mock tribunal was insti-
tuted. Billy was tried, found guilty,
sentenced He was to be guillotined
The beheading block was revealed, the
headsman stood beside 1t with huge
battle-ax.
Billy bound hand and foot, was placed
kneeling before the curved depression
and his throat fitted down into 1t and
the blindfold placed over his eyes The
command was given. The blow fell upon
Bnly's powerful neck. 1t was only a
cord that had been wet in cold water.
Billy remained inert. Moments passed.
Billy had tainted? No, Billy was dead.
The whole thing had been very real to
HIM. His heart had stopped for all
time. The affrighted students removed
their disguses. spirited the body out to
the rivers edge and left It.

New York Weather.

The English vocabulary may be
deficient in terms which will express
adequately the misery caused by
summer hot spell In this city; never
theless comparisons show that New
York might be worse off.
A few days ago when the ther-
mometer registered 81 degrees in
New York city it was lis degrees in
Phoenix, Arizona. But early in the
preceding morning, at Farther Point,
a station on the st. Lawrence River,
II was 3S degrees, only six degrees
above freezing. Such extremes are
not common but now and then they
occur. On January 1, 1913, during
cur coldest winter Of record. when
the temperature was below zero in
this city, several spectators at a foot
ball game in Pasadena, California,
were overcome by the heat.
The average range of daily tenn
perature in New York city is less
than 90 degrees, two or three degrees
lower as rule than in a nearby
suburb. In this respect 1t is doubtful
IL any other city in the northeastern
quarter OF the United States sur
passes 1t. Now and then, however,
o spring cold wave follows a warm
spell. March 2S, 1921, was oppres-
sively warm, with a midday tempera-
ture of rs degrees. In brief eight
cen hours cold wave from the
northwest had brought it to 26 de-
grees, range of So degrees. Thanks
to Mr.. SCARF forecasts reached every
Part OF the district in ample time to
prevent loss.
On the whole New York city Is
favored in the matter of climate. The
average temperature of midsummer
is IA degrees and of midwinter 80
degrees. The highest temperature sell
dom exceeds 80 degrees on more than
half dozen days in the year; zero
temperature does not usually last
more than a few hours at time. In
contrast. midsummer temperature at
Greenland, California. has reached
1874 degrees. and cold wave at Pop
lar River, Montana, has brought the
Thermometer to 81 degrees below zero.
In New York city zero temperature
has prevailed about as many times
during the last five years as in the
ninety-five years preceding.
The midday hours in New York
city are not so warm nor arc the
nights SO cold as in a nearby suburb.
Summer hot spells and winter cold
waves prevail in practically every

the surface

shown that spirit OF idealism, 1t is upon

Russia's 1922 Grain Harvest.

The United States Department :.
Agriculture has received reports from
Russia which show that the condi-
tion Of farm crops on July / was
above the average. The estimates
in hand indicate that with a fair
harvest the food situation of the
population will be better than it was
in 1920 or 1921. 1t is not expected
there will be surplus of grain for
export, but there will be enough to
feed the peasants and the dwellers in
cities and to provide seed for plant
ing a considerably larger area for

1923 than was under cultivation two
years ago.
Reduced to figures, Russia will
have from 100000 to 100000 long
tens more of bread grains than II
had in 1921. when the country had
19,922,000 long tons of such grains
after deduction had been made fol
seed and live stock feed The 1921
harvest was 4,352,000 long tons un-
der the minimum requirements for
food for the population. Even il
this years harvest reaches only the
lowest estimate, or 100000 long
tons more than the crop of last year
Russia should be able to feed its
people.
No statistics as to acreage sown
for this years crop are available
In the famine districts the cultivated
land was about so per cent. of that
under the plow before the war. This
percentage is accepted as holding
good for Russia generally.
Russia has been for years one OF
the great grain exporting countries
Its elimination as source of sup
ply for countries which must import
food grain obviously makes them de-
pendent on the other growers of SUR
rlus grain. The problems of trans
portation and Of payment are diff
cult but not insoluble. An interest
Ing factor in the situation is the use
of substitutes for the grains to which
they are accustomed, which assumed
considerable proportions in war days
and has not yet ceased entirely.

The fireweed flames, the bee balm burns
The primrose opes its amber urns;
The torches of the goldenrod
Glow amid dropping ferns.
The criekets chirr; cicadas shrill
A lone voice quavers from the hill:
From the wild morning glory cup
A late bee drinks it's fill.
There is a sweet oblivion
In the red dying of the sun:
Then Evening on its altar lights
It's tapers one by one.

Michael Collins.

No leader could be more typical of
his cause than MICHAEL COLLINS
was. In youth, strength, enthusiasm
and optimism he shone as the very
soul Of the new Ireland he helped to
bring into being, strove to support
and gave his life for.
Since ROBERT EMMET's time there
has been no more attractive charac-
ter in Irish history than this young
soldier. COLLINS lacked the cold in
tellectual machinery Of PARNELL and
GRIFFITH. He was a good speaker,
but not an O'Connell. His strength
lay in his boundless courage, human
ity and patriotism.
For eight years COLLINS had given
himself to Ireland. He fought for
her when there was price of thou
risked his life in the dramatic but
i'll fated Easter rising Of 1916. 1t
was he, rather than any other men,
ber of the Irish delegation to the
Downing Street conference, who
flung a bridge across the apparently
impossible chasm that lay between
the Irish and the British.
For this young man, whose life
had been spent in the humdrum of
bank and post Office clerkships before
he entered the Irish army, had the
good fortune to be instinctively a
diplomat as well as a soldier. His
tact, Joined with that of WINSTON
SPENCER CHURCHILL, brought peace
between the islands when their as
sociates had given up the puzzle as
one beyond their solution.
The real test of COLLINS came after
the treaty. Then the world saw the
enthusiasm which burned so fiercely
in the campaign for freedom turn its
flame to the welding of a new Ire
land. 1t saw the remarkable spec
tacle of CoLfINs, man of romance and
action, working with GRIFFITH, the
intellectual idealist, as If they were
one man. GRIFFITH was the brain,
COLLINS the arm. Together, since the
signing of the treaty on December 6,
they acted unselfishly for the peace
and prosperity of their country.
When GRIFFITH died the thinking
people of Ireland looked to COLLINS
to shoulder the double burden. VAL
liable as GRIFFITH was intellectually
to the Free State, COLLINS was more
necessary in the process of securing
internal order. He represented more
than Any other Irishman the awak-
ening nation. He radiated energy,
hope faith and ambition. He tried
to turn Ireland's eyes from the dark
past toward the rising sun Of her
new dignity and power.
In the sorrow on both sides of the
Atlantic over the passing of this
young leader the dominant thought
is regret that he should have fallen
when peace seemed so near. But IL
bis death should arouse the Irish
people to a sense OF what COLLINS
won for them and what they have
lost in him, should quell the fever
that still RACES in the island, then the
gallant captain will have added in
death to the great good he wrought
in life. II he knew that his death
would help his people MICHAEL CoL-
rIHs would have welcomed IT. That
is the kind of man he was.

Rain In sum mer.

From the Christian Science Monitor.
Through the quiet elm tops
Ger the nodding daisy heads,
Comes the Lady Rain, now,
Delicately stepping
Stepping by on silver shoes,
Beading every grass blade,
Charming all she looks upon,
Blessing all she touches.
Not the shyest fern frond
Hidden under alder trees
Deepest In the woods heart
But shall be remembered
Not a slender columbine
s5waying on the rocky crest
But shall be. because OF her,
Lovelier tomorrow.
Gladdening the water brooks
On the lonely hillsides.
Deepening the thrush's note
To wilder magic,
Making all the world sing
Comes our lovely Lady Rain,
Moving by on silver shoes,
Delicatcly stepping.
