Beware. beware. when you cross
this stream,
OF a Ash with a sword-like nose.
And keep one eye turned UP 10

For a hawk with hook like toes"
."Who are your" asked the nttie
rabbit. "And, how do you know tna'
we are in danger?"
"I am the little Yellow Bird VINO
has followed you in. all of your
JOURNEYS" answered the voice.
"But I have never seen you" said
the little bunny boy.
The little bird fluttered down from
a thick tree and lighted on the head
Of the donkey. "Now you see me,
she said with a twitter. my name
is Golden Wing and the Queen OF
the Fairies commanded me, On. so
long ago, to follow and see that no
harm befell you" -
"Ha, hal" laughed the. little rab-
bit happily, "now that l see you. l
know your name" And now. little
reader, to whom / have promised to
tell the name of this little yellow
Bird 80 many times, you. TOO, know
that Golden Wing is the name OF
this little Yellow Bird.
Dear me-" sighed the bunny boy.

he must cross the river, who is
trying to harm me?
"The hobgoblins," answered the lit
tie Yellow Bird.
But they are. far off in the forest"
answered Little Jack Rabbit. "Only
few hours ago, the little Black
Man sent them away"
"That Is true" answered the yell
low Bird, but beware when you
cross the river. Here comes boat"
Sure enough, a pretty blue boat
drawn by six swans was approach

"Remember to be on your guard"
repeated the Yellow Bird, as she
flew away, and in the next story you

Favoritism in the Veterans Bureau
Boston Transcript

avoTItlSm IN tn0 VetoVduU Owl SoS
Boston Transcript
Shame and indignation must be
the portion of every citizen who has
been reading the reports of the in
quiry of a Senate sub committee in
to the maladministration of the
Veterans Bureau before the present
Director, General Hines, began there
the cleanup process which is still in
progress. The evidence in due time
will doubtless be turned over to the
Department of Justice. Prosecution
of the guilty is a duty of the Ad-
ministration that it dare not dodge
Meantime, there has come to light
the proof that senators and members
of Congress are the beneficiaries of a
favoritism by that Bureau which is
little short of scandalous. There Is
special section to which their cor
respondence is referred. The refer
ence insureS preferential treatment
A disabled veteran may be in dire
need of near death, but his own or
the appeal of his family. his friends,
his neighbors, the commander of his
Legion post, the chairman of the
board that drafted him-these ap-
peals must go through regular chan
nels. A disabled veteran, however,
WHO Is not III QlTe neeU OF any
where near death, but develops the
ambition to have his compensation
increased and has the "pull'' to in
terest a senator or member of Con-
gress in his case. can be certain that
his application will be promptly re-
ferred to the congressional section
of the Bureau and will there be
given preferential treatment, at least
in point of time
This is pork barrel politics" of
the most despicable sort. 1t can be
ended tomorrow and it ought to he
ended. No congressional legislation
is necessary. General Hines can
end 1t on his own initiative. If he
lacks the courage to abolish the
congressional section and the system
of favoritism there maintained an
Executive order from the White
House will. We hope, provide him
with the initiative and the sand to
abolish this section without delay
Senators and congressman have no
legal or moral right to prostitute the
Veterans Bureau to. their own poll
teal purposes. 1t was created to re-
lieve and rehabilitate the disabled
veterans, not to reflect senators and
members of Congress.

Thousands of sufferers have freed

AS soon as Little Jack Rabbit. was
out of the forest. the Hobgoblins
consulted together as how best to
capture him before he crossed the
River Dee into Fairy Land.

swoop down upon him." suggested
another.
COR great water snakes" added a
third.
All this time, the little rabbit was
riding away on his donkey, not
knowing that these dreadful hob
COLLINS were plotting to do him
harm.
BY and by, after a while, he came
to the River Dee, where the little
donkey stopped and gave a loud
bray.
why are you braying?" asked
the bunny boy.
Because l wish to let the Fairy
Queen know that we are waiting for
boat to ferry us across" answered
the donkey.
Just then, all of a sudden, a lit

A JOB THAT'S WAITING

A few liquor laden vessels are re-
ported lying off New York and doing
a thriving trade with the smugglers
in anticipation Of the Thanksgiving
Day and Christmas demands.
They are giving Uncle Sans
miniens of the law the merry cha
ha!"
How do we enjoy the predicament?
Are we disposed to join in the ha-
ha? Or are we disposed to take a
hand that the smugglers shall laugh
out of the other corners of their
respective mouths?
Here are some of the things we
must do if we would put crimp in
this defiance of law and authority;
we must agree with foreign countries
to enable us to seize those rum car
goes where we may come across
them within a reasonable limit; we
must have boats fast enough to COM
pete with the craft of the smugglers.
Now all this will cost some effort
and some money. The treasury
wants authority to spend ten mil
lions right away. If that be need
ed-and we see no occasion to
doubt-the sooner the request may be
complied with the better for our self
respect, if for no other reason.
Right now, we are in rather
ridiculous situation, not such as
commends itself either to our vanity
or to our self respect
When we put our hands to the
prohibition pillow we knew, or
should have known If possessed of
ordinary common sense, that we
were letting ourselves in for strug-
gle. for the spending of much money
and effort and for many disappoint-
ments and disbursements.
Are we going to turn back? Are
we to let few rum smugglers defy
our authority, aided and allotted by
the lawless here at home? Especially
are we to do this after the evidence
afforded even in the first year of
prohibition, with altogether in
adequate resources for coping with
Bookkeeping. demonstrated con-
clusively that prohibition was prov
ing an excellent thing for the coun-
try?
Those who thought we were to
have the good of all this simply by
pressing a button and letting George
do 1t better come out of the trance
of self-hypnotism. George isn't
that kind; the job won't get done
that way at all. Those who wish to
see the law enforced have simply
got to complain to the authorities
whether we think 1t will amount to
anything or not. whether we are
called meddlers, cranks, or what not
And then complain some more-and
get the friends of law and order to
life up their complaints and keep
everlastingly at 1t. Besides we have
got to see that the needed funds are
provided. C.

ExTRlCATING THE GENUS

4 40-pound Canadian lynx, or
what is more commonly known as q
bobcat, was brought back to Lewis

Der of PennSylvania.-Stat Gossip

A Canadian lynx may be known
commonly as n bobcat in some parts
of the State. but one is no more like
the other than a saw horse Is like a
wash bench. One feature in com
mon is the possession of four legs.
And speaking of bobcats the Boston
Globe prints the picture of one killed
in West Royalston, Mass. This one
weighed but ten pounds. and would
lie regarded as a mere bobkitten here
in Maine. where adult specimens, If
we may believe the Portland papers,
sometimes attain a weight of nearly
one hundred pounds. - Biddeford

FIND OUT WHAT, THEN DO 1T

A news column, yesterday morning,
contained an account of q man being
brought before a judge in Marlboro,
Mass, accused Of driving an auto
mobile while under the influence of
liquor. 1t appeared he was driving
wavering course on the wrong side
OF the street and finally crashed in
to trolley car. The Judge fined him
$40 on one count and SIS on another
and then appears to have turned the
fellow loose.
How would the judge like to be
blindfolded and set down in the mid
die of highway travelled by such
drunken drivers? OF course he
wouldn't like it. Yet an unthinking
child in such a street would hardly
be in a worse ,predicament. Did the
judge think of this?
The other day a caller wished us to
advocate that the drunken driver
should be deprived Of his license for
the rest of his life. This method he
would have include any driver not in
possession of his faculties. AS for
the fellow who had no faculties by
reason Of what nature had not done
for him, the licensing board should
look out for him. Later he revised
his opinion and would have the Ii
cense taken away and not to be re-
newed except at the discretion Of
some court.
Another called on the telephone
yesterday and expressed the opinion
that the drunken driver should not
only be deprived Of his license but
also Of his car; that he should be
sent to the state prison for year
and never again be permitted to
drive a motor on the public highway.
Asked to write a communica ton to
this effect the caller declined.
One naturally hesitates openly to
advise drastic regulations. Seeming
ly judges dislike to impose such SEN
fences and lawmakers hesitate to
sponsor such legislation. 1t is but
natural for this reluctance to be ex-
perienced, it Is common to most Of
U.S. Some of US think to accomplish
reform by concealing our identity
and while hiding behind hood and
mask make the refoms we conclude
are needed, even If we have to go
about dark nights doing so. Those
who yield to that impulse forget the
logic Of events, forget whittier that
procedure will inevitably lead.
But to get back to drunken, doped,
witless or reckless drivers, they never
will mix with safety on our highways
and the authorities better recognize
this fact before an enraged public
gets to hanging them by the road
side. A definite plan should be
agreed upon and then agitation
should continue until this plan Is put
into effect and then continued to keep
it in effect
No person about whose sanity or
sobriety there is serious question
should have license to drive and no
one who has been proved unfit should
be permitted to continue SO long as
he remains unfit, and the burden of
