THE ST. Louis Globe Democrat makes the
discovery that the nation has outgrown
New lork-meaning that New York as Il
port Is no longer equal To the demands of
American commerce. The ST. Louis paper
Indicates that ii has been aware OF the de-
hcicncy for some time. certainly since the
crowded days OF the war: and II NAV be
remarked that realization OF New York's
inability 10 come up 10 the nations needs
became general throughout the country
during that emergency
Since the war. chiefly because OF the
worldwide depression in trade, the acute
ness OF tn" need has not been pressed upon
the attention of the American people so
strongly But it exists just surely as
il did when the war first showed how com
plctely New York had been "outgrown'
With the revival OF foreign commerce.
American business and the public general
y are being reminded OF the wise distribu-
ton of shipping that was forced upon us
by the war. Agitation for frecr use of other
Atlantic ports is spreading. especially
through tho Middle West. long one of the
chief sufferers from the congestion al New

This means that the country soon will

To the Editor Of The Times Dispatch.
Slr.-It seems TO bc an awful nara
matter for this great government OF
ours TO settle the soldier bonus b!ll'
is IL because she isn't able TO help
her protectors, or is IL because she
has or wants TO forget them Does
this government want TO help her cN-
soldiers? II She does, why doesn't
she do 1t. and II she doesn't. why
not say So Why argue the question
as Joke?
Who was II that stopped the Hun
at ChatcnuThicrry? Who was 1t
that gave up his home. his loved ones.
his job. his all, TO protect this United
States OF America from the dcstruct-
.ul enemy? The 100 per cent Amer
ican.
Who was il that stayed In America
while the 100 per cent American was
on the front protecting him. and IN"
country that was too good for him"
The Stacker.
Who was it that made minis Of
money in this country during the
war? The swindler and profiiccr.
And now who is it, that has plenty.
living on the cream Of the country.
having nothing to fear or dread?
The stacker. swindlcr and profitcer"
And. now. Who is II that has moth
ing. no job. no money, no home. few
friends? The 100 per cent American
Is this country trying TO keep her
world war veterans 100 per cent
Americans? No! If the world war
veteran doesn't deserve tho very best
this country has. he doesn't deserve
anything. II tho Senators cannot
agree 20 pass soldier bonus bill.
I think It opportunc time for them
10 give up their Jobs and give some
one chance that is progressive
enough to pass n hill that will give
the 100 per cent American his we'll
earned reward.
II President Harding and Congress
want To see this country help her
cS-s"ldisrs. am sure they could pass
a hill inside OF twenty-four hours
that would put every vet back on
his feet and make him feel that he
lives in real country.
The question is, what ia this coun
try going to do towards helping her
world war veterans?

The uond to Williamsburg.

TO the Editor OF The Times Dispatch:
Sir-I note the appeal OF Major
Richard T. Berne to the American
Association Of Engineers TO give
their assistance in the construction
OF modern highways and his critl-
cism of allowing political influence
to divert main highway from
straight limo connecting tvo import
ant points.
The Gar of Russia. II is said,

Meeting st. Petersburg and MOSCOW

a location for the railway to connect

the most round about way between
the two points that could possibly
be selected. In due time. after some
six or eight miles Of new highway
had heen constructed In Charles CITY
Country, the car came along and
stretched the thread between Rich
mond and Williamsburg and demand
cd that the central route he
adopted because ii is tho shortest

struction. Also. this route Will serve

the artcsian water flows freely for
week end excursions and the mos

The politicians and Gear seem To
have overlooked or discarded the old
Williamsburg Road which our fore
fathers laid out up the Peninsula 10

stays on top of the divide between
the James and York and Chicka-

One Cause Of Law Violation.

Sir read with interest all that,
appears on tho EDITORIAL page Of Your
paper in reference 20 the prevalence
Of law violation. The utter dISia-
gard II legal cuactments is dtstr'sS-
ing, and | am glad TO see that YOU
have begun TO see something or the
seriousness OF present conditions.
am well aware that the present state
OF lawlcSsncss has been placed 10

readily ACRE. that Prohibition has mad
soincthinp Ia do with II. Bu' pro-
hibi;ion is in no sense tho cause
OF tn. spirit ot iawlcssn-ss now
prevailing. II is sometimes the oc-
casion. but never the cause. For
this Ne mus, look further back than
any legal enactment. Indeed. tho
cause Is not single. but multiple.
There are several contributors
sources from which the !awless
spirit is fed and ono of the most
potent Of these is the almost entire
lack OF authority in the home. The
child grows up without the faint
est idea %! obedience and with no
conception whatever OF the authority
OF tho parent. goes out into schoo!

ception Of authority In anything Is
il surprising that there is such wide
spread violation Of law?
