Patriotism and the Bonus

To tbs Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir The discussion of the Bonus Bill
brings into play the word patriotism
more than any other subject Of current
interest. And because Of the wild ap.
plication of this word. 1t pleases me to
muster forth arguments, possibly much
used, but nevertheless logical.
First. a Mr.. Maloney, in q letter to
your forum. follows a graphic sketch
Of personal service experienced by
sweeping condemnation Of all anti bonus
men, or tin horn saviors'-to use
his expression. Now. the fact Of the
matter is, any one who opposes the
Bonus Bill has not necessarily forgotten
a national moral obligation. For illus
trati0n let US consider the arguments
Of our anti bonus Congressman. Surely
their opinions are backed by weightier
considerations than the thought Of the
load that might fall on their individual
shoulders from tho passage Of the bill.
And there can be nothing but interest
Of country In their avowed opposition,
especially since such opposition means
the possible loss of constituent fol-.
lowing. Their action admits Of no base
accusation Of unpatriotism. whereas let
us examine the circumstances Of pros.
pective soldiers when the war began.
Now, Sir Reader, IL you be of those
who enlisted in wartime, but before
the prospective passage Of CONSUMPTION,
the words that follow are compliment
tary. But, alas! The conditions that
made conscription necessary point to the
smallness Of your number.
Dare any one say that the enlistment
In the face of conscription was an act
of absolute disinterestednes and lofty
patriotism? Furthermore. does a calm
acceptance Of conscription bespeak love
Of country, when there was no alter
native but imprisonment?
There Is no accusation in these state.
ments. Such conditions have Away,
existed because they form an inherent
part Of human nature. But 1t Is In.
teresting to note the application Of the
word patriotism" G. D. F.

Third, I am personally acquainted

Fourth. Probably the best way to pay
