Keen Bonus Issue Clear.

In1udicious advocates of a soldier
bonus who have been making appeals
to sympathy for disabled veterans a
part Of their propaganda have been
called to account by patients at Walter
Reed Hospital. The war patients
committee" at the hospital has unani-
mously adopted resolution protest
ing against the use of pictures Of a
crippled or legless soldier or disabled
veteran for pro-bonus propaganda by
any periodical, magazine or news
paper
1t is well that this matter should be
brought to public attention, for it ought
TO be understood that disabled vet
Grams as such are not dependent for
care and compensation ON the bonus
legislation now pending in Congress.
They are provided for by laws already
on the statute books. 1t has been as
serted, in fact, by opponents of the
bonus in Congress and elsewhere that
the disabled men stand to lose by
enactment of the bonus. on the ground
that money will be paid to able-bodied
men which might be used for further
assistance to those who are disabled.
In appeals for public support for the
bonus idea the issue should not be
clouded by dragging in the sick and
crippled soldiers. The bonus is intend
ed to benefit men who suffered no
bodily infirrnities as result of their war
service, and who cannot claim pecuni-
airy assistance urder existing law.

Impeaching the People.

The new movement, advertised from
Chicago. for installing men and wom-
en- of the working class in the nations
legislative halls" is pitched in the ex-
treme key that both of the old parties
are corrupt, that both have been de-
bauched by the same agencies and
that from neither is good to be eX-
pected any more. The remedy sug-
gested is to scrap both and put some
thing honest, well intentiUned and eff
fective in their places.
But what is the reliance? To whom
is the appeal addressed? The two old
parties divide the electorate between
organizations, but they are Of small
proportions-so small they do not
count in the equation.
We are asked, then, to believe that
the electorate through its leaders has
been tempered with to the extent that
either it no longer knows. or no longer
cares, about its real interests; that it
is not good judge OF men for leader
ship, or else prefers leaders who can
do business" with corrupt and cor
rupting outside influences.
IL this is true, what hope is there
of reform under our present institu-
tons, which rest upon the intelligence
and character of the people? If they
have failed so signally once they may
fail as signally again. Why not try
Nfa
But these critics are not proposing,
nor will they propose, any change.
They are still advocating government
of the people. by the people, for the
people," while declaring that such a
government, after functioning for over
a century, has come to represent only
the selfish greed of corrupt few.

The Dignity of Salt.

The feking government of China
borrows money and gives salt as Sc
curity. The Russians are reported to
be considering the issuance of a cur
rency that has a stock of platinum
as its guarantee. Chile. II II wlshed;
could back its bills with nitrate and
be soundly financed. Other govern
ments, however. think they are safe If
they have enough bars of gold in
their vaults TO make people confident
that their paper money is good.
But the Chinese are fully as wise
as any other people. They know the
great value of salt and they give I
place above money Within the last
has borrowed more than $4,000, 900
with its salt surplus as security. Salt
is good security because human be-
ings will always want salt. 1t keeps
yhe world alive. 1t has been neces-
sary from the beginning. Govern
ments that wanted to touch the free
dom of the people touched their salt.
At least seven centuries ago in France
this common salt was made a govern
ment monopoly, and every family in
the kingdom was compelled to buy a
certain amount weekly
Salt is life. Men recognize this
when they say of another that he is
the salt of the earth" They do an
injustice to salt, however. when they
say that one is not worth ones salt.
To be worth ones salt is to be worth
very much. Wit has been called the
salt of conversation between human
beings. And poet has written of
death that it is the universal salt OF
men. Salt has a dignity not always
un0erstood.-San Francisco Call and

Roe he was admitted to practice.
There was no examination, or II the
county judge did examine the appli-
cant it was an examination that did
not do much examining. The recon-
mendation Of Judge Roe put him
across. The judge was known to be an
honest man, and it was accepted that
the man he recommended was honest.
The theory of the whole proceeding
was that If the young applicant did
not have sense enough and did not
know law enough to make a~living. he
would retire from the profession and
return to Cropping timber or hauling
logs or raising corn. The system was
far different from the modern plan OF
out lawyers. but the results
were not bad. Many Of the ''un-
schooIed' lawyers became great law
yers and great men. The outstanding
feature of the old system was that not
so much emphasis was laid on knowl-
edge of the law as on character In the
practice of it. A mans reputation for
truth, sincerity, SlIdiSHllOi wal uiiSSo
and all the elements Of honesty gave
him prestige with judge. jury and pub
lie opinion which mere knowledge OF
the law and all it's ways could not give
him. Though not "schooled" In the
modern sense, this old-time lawyer was
apt to know we'll the principles. his
tory and philosophy Of the law. He
was apt to know something Of the
statutes of his state, but that was
matter that could be looked up as &C.
casion required.
That thing which one calls char
acter" counts for as much at the bar
today. 1t is the tremendous increase
in the amount of law to be studied
the hundreds of volumes of principles,
decisions and opinions with which
modern lawyers must be familiar,
which calls for the additional later-day
qualification of lengthy and care.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
The Gentle Savage.

The Gentle Savage.
Why is the simple savage so good
hearted,
With no desire to harm his fellow
man,
Although he lacks the knowledge
that's impaired
BY study on civilized plan?
There is very simple explanation.
When for his dinner he sets out to
look,
A palm tree offers complete COLA
ton.
He doesn't have to quarrel with the
cook.
He doesn't dwell in hungry apprehen-
sion
Because Of Sundays out and Thurs
days off.
He has no fear Of violent contention
When at the food he feels disposed
to scott.
I envy him his primitive condition.
Although he never tries to read a
book,
The savage has a lovely disposition.
He doesn't have to quarrel with the
cook.
