.bURSUM BILL IS /.
NOT S|MOTHERED
/ SAYS NJ 'KENz|E
Acting Chairman Of Military
Affairs Committee Denies
Delaying II.
ny Universal Service.

Congressman John c. Mckenzie. OF
Illinois iasued n strong denial today
OF charges made by the Disabled
American Veterans of the World
War that he has smothered the Bur.
sum bill. a relief measure, In commit
tee. Mr.. Mckenzie is acting chair
man Of the House Committee on
Military Affairs.
The Bursum bill provides for the
retirement OF permanently disabled
emergency officers who fought In
the world war. and on removal Of
determinations now existing. II
passed the Senate six months ago,
and has been In the House commit.
tee since. z.
Mckenzie Makes Denial.
ANY statement purporting to rep.
resent me as having smothered the
Bursum bill is false" said Mr.. Nc.
kenzie. Twice I have called the
Military Affairs Committee together
for the purpose Of acting on pending
legislation. but there has not been q
quorum present since Congress re-
convened after the recess. The An.
thony bill, for instance, was passed
under a suspension OF the rules and
by agreement with the Speaker and
the Republican floor leader. There
10 no reason why the advocates OF
the Bursum bill should not call their
bill up In the same way.
II have told the sponsors of this
measure very frankly that ! am op-
posed to IL In its present form, bur
this In no manner prejudices me
against giving II a hearing on it's
merits. II the Committee on Mill
tary Affairs meets and decides to re-
port the bill out, I could not, II de-
sired. hold II back. The organization
In question is not giving me a square
deal. I have always been above
board with the veterans, and no leg
islation In which they are interested
has been delayed in committee by
me at any time"
The charges that Mr.. Mckenzie
was holding up the Bursum bill were
made by Capt. c. Hamilton Cook,
national commander of the Disabled
American Veterans Of the World
War.
Captain Cooks Charges.
"At matters now stand all dis
abled officers OF the regular army,
navy and marines and the naval and
marine reserve have been eligible for
retirement, while the only one OF the
six classes of officers who are denied
the privileges are the permanently
disabled emergency officers Of the
army. who. after all. bore the brunt
Of the battle" said Captain Cook.
81 have gone TO the bottom of this
matter and ] think the people Of the
country In general and Illinois In
particular should know that while
six war lieutenants have died since
the hearings on the Bursum bill, tho
relief they we're promised during the
war is blocked by Mr.. Mckenzie. 4
! poll Of the House shows that the bill
will pass that body II II ever reaches
II, and, Of course, all national organi
cations OF veterans are in favor oI
the measure"

A DIFFICULT TASK

There are still lot of things an edi-
tor can't understand, and one of them
is why some people will call him on q
legal holiday or out Of bed at night to
give him an earful of scandal, or to
tell him report they heard about
somebody's shortcomings and insist
that he publish it in bold black and
white, while the informant would not
for the world sign their own name to
such an article. They want the edi-
tor to be the goat at all times. And
these same hypocrites whenever
relative dies expect the editor to write
an obituary, oh, SO sweet and nice
probably going on the theory that it
will serve as an entrance credential
to be presented to St. Peter when the
decedent has raped at the pearly
gates. We have sometimes thought
that the editor who can run a good
paper, make both ends meet, and get
along smoothly with all mankind and
womankind, is fit for any job, no mat
ter how big it is. And we don't think
we'll ever have occasion to change our
opinion.

American generosity? The following
extract from letter written by one
of our Near East Relief workers in
Erivan, Armenia last December gives
some idea of conditions there last
year:
"a month ago we were taking care
of 5000 orphans in our thirteen or
phanages and eight hospitals. Hun
dreds of children, diseased, starving
uncared for, were roaming around the
streets like little animals; in fact
they were savages. To our horror
we came upon one group one day who
were tearing to pieces dead horse
and with ghoulish cries were devour-
ing it like vultures. Frequently we
found tiny children dead on the street,
dead from sheer starvation and ex-
haustion.
1--WE had to save these children. So
night after night our devoted work
ers prowled through the bazaars, and
searched through the parks until elev-
en- or midnight, picking up what would
look like bundles of rags wrapped in
bits of old rugs, but which would
prove to be tired youngsters, cold,
hungry, nealry gone.
"Over 1000 children have been pick
ed off the streets in the past month,
given baths and medical care, and are
now getting to be normal children, on
the road to health and happiness"
Is it possible to imagine greater hu--
man suffering than the misery OF
these homeless, friendless, starving
little children? Yet, if possible, con-
ditions will be worse in the Near East
this winter, owing to the recent mas
sacres. Thousands of orphaned child
ren are stretching tiny hands toward
America begging that we save them
from death this winter. What share
will you have in the great and noble
task that America has undertaken
that of being Big Brother to the
homeless children in the Near East!
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1922-11-02
THEY'LL LEARN LATER ON

Nothing disgusts sensible person
more than to hear some young upstart
deploring the fact that he or she is q
resident of a town the size of Jules
burg and longing for broader fields
where everybody don't know every
bOdy's business" We've heard the re-
mark more than once, and each time it
mas grated on our ears. Because we
know about life in the congested cit
les OF this country, and we know how
much more enjoyable is life in the
smaller towns and in the rural sec
tions.
Very shortly after reaching the big
city, where everybody doesn't know
everybody's business, there comes to
the town-bred boy or girl the long
ing for smile of recognition, a nod
OF the head or CHEEKY hello" from
someone who really has an interest in
them. Possibly a little spell of sick
ness is encountered. Then they note
the absence of kindly neighbors and
the touch of parental hands that are
better than medicine. Very often,
too. finances get low. There is no
need in seeking credit. Strangers al
was remain strangers in the big city,
and credit is only for those who can
show bank account. Charge it to
father doesn't mean anything to the
big city merchant, whose acquaint.
ance doesn't take in more than one
father, and that one his own.
We live to learn and that's the only
consolation we have when we hear a
boy or girl yearning for the life of a
big city. They'll learn later on, and
generally through experience, that
when it comes to actual happiness the
farm home or the small town stands
first, and always will.

TWO KINDS OF PROSPERITY

Democratic orators claim that a
high degree of prosperity prevailed
during the last two years of the Will
son administration. They point to the
fact that at that time the people were
spending money freely, also that the
farmers and other producers got high
prices for their stuff
1t is about as sensible as to main
tain that man is prosperous because
while under the influence Of intoxi-
eating liquor he is scattering his cash
throughout the community. Such a
period of waste and folly has to be
paid for. The country began to pay
for it in the spring of 1920, a year be-
fore the Democrats went out Of power.
Overall parades were organized in
many cities to protest against the
dangerous tendencies of the time. Six
months before the Democrats went
out, factories were shutting down all
over the country. When President
Harding took office the country was
at the low point of depression.
The Democratic policies of initiation
and extravaganza gave lot Of money
to favored classes of people, and they
spent money like drunken sailors. The
folly Of this extravaganza raised pric-
es up to point where about half of
the people could not buy their usual
supplies.
The great agricultural districts
were unable to purchase goods made
on the high production costs of the
Wilson administration. Other ele-
ments of the people also found that
though their incomes had scarcely in
creased, yet prices had doubled The
factories all at once found that a lot
of people could not play the game on
that extortionate level, and their or
ders fell off. Prostration and disast-
cr resulted. If such condition is
prosperity, the American people want
no more of it.
Prosperity has returned, but of an
infinitely healthier character. 1t is
built on solid bank credits, on suffi-
cient reserves, on a new policy of
thrift among the people, upon reduc-
ton of expenditures and taxation of
the government.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1922-11-02
OVER DEVELOPED INDUSTRIES

1t has often been said during the
past year or two, that many of the
industries are so over developed that
the total capacity of the existing
equipment, is beyond the needs of the
country.
A condition like this could be
expected to follow any great war.
During the recent world conflict,
American producers found tre-
mendous demand for their products
at high prices. The result was to
encourage the erection of many
factories and additions, and develop
ment of coal and other mines. The
increased facilities ran a few years
on profitable contracts, when big
slump came, leaving many industries
apparently developed beyond the
consuming capacity of the country.
An industry thus operated carries
too high overhead charges, and
its workers, if employed only part
time, need higher pay to carry them
over the idle periods. What is need
ed is some kind of redistribution, so
that the surplus labor can go into
occupations where it will be kept at
work
Many people have helped relieve this
situation by quitting the factory
towns and returning to the country
districts where they came from. At
present there does not seem to be
much unemployment so that in one
way or another the situation is be-
ing relieved. Some industries report
that they are not operating to full
capacity, but the country is growing
fast and business men are hustling,
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1922-11-02
THE GREAT WESTERN SUGAR COMPANY

So the surplus of facilities may not
last many years.
There are still many people living
in cities, and subject to Interruptions
Of employment, who would do better
to get out into the nearby country and
live off the soil. They need not buy
large farms. Many families, by study
ing scientific poultry raising and gar
dening are living off few acres fav-
orably located, and they find that their
stuff will sell, no matter what fluctu-
ations occur in the factories.
