THE VETERANS BUREAU

There has been so much criticism of the conduct of the veterans buraeu that there is approval of the inquiries into the charges and of the purpose to suggest reforms that will do away with whatever evils may exist in it's administration. There have been frequent complaints from veterans, who have first claim on the nations sympathy and attention, that they have been neglected and have not received the full benefit of relief measures provided by the government Confusion has been created in the pubic mind by charges and counter charges. Pro tests have been followed by official denials and it has been impossible for the people to form any conclusion as to the real facts in the situation. The investigation now under way in Washington is expected to clear up a matter of national concern, because the American people rightly feel that there should be no basis for complaint in the treatment of our war veterans. It is inti- mated in Washington dispatches that there will be a complete reorganization of the bureau, shifts in personnel and pernaps changes in methods df operation.
 The legal division of the bureau appears to be the target for most of the dnfavorable criticism. This department is intrusted with the important duty of passing on con tracts for hospital sites and other financial

A Timely Editorial
indictment of Memel
{ Washington I'ost)


 It is cabled from Memel that the capture of that city by the Lithu- anian volunteers" was induced by the promise of movie man that the picture would be immortalized in a picture showing the world their exploit.
 The poet has it that:
 'Tis pleasant, sure, to. see one's
 name i'll print;
 A books book, although there's
 nothing int"
 The Mcmel incident IS an inter- esting variation on this theme. Evidently the Lithuanian invaders of Meanel held 1t r:easant to con template seeing thelr races on the photo print, for films film, al- though there's nothing int. The Menel affair, with the above ex. planation attached, emphasizes the insatiate desire for~publicity that apparently dwells sn the human breast the world over. Some may stand against it, but the vast ma jority of humans yield to it. To be photograp phed in heroic scenes depicting the capt.~e of Menlel, for the world to see and admire-the inducement was apparently too strong for the Lithuanians to resist.

By THOMAS R. MARSHALL. Former Vice President of the United
 CfafaS

One of the beauties of a democ- raey is that it can indulge in fads without any danger to its institu- tions-social, economic or political fads. When we tire of thing we drop it and turn to something new.
 One winter we jazz until every body walks as though the Volstead act had never been enacted. The next winter we devote ourselves to whist, and move along erect as a ramrod and with counienances that outdo preachers or poker play CTS.
 Economically we shout the shib-, boleth of competition for a time. We are quite sure that England was the most prosperous when she was a nation of small shopkeep- CTS. We seem thoroughly convinc- ed that the more competition there is and the larger the number of per sons engaged in business and the smaller the transaction, the greater the safety and prosperity of the people. Then we begin to talk about overhead expenses, and the saving and the greater efficiency to accrue from combination ot capital. We bow the knee to big business and worship it as lord of economies, only to discover that nothwithstand- ing benefits to the consumer, in- justice has been done to the small manufacturer So, we enact anti in the name of the individual man, who must have his cnaslce in Amer ica, regardless of what effect his opportunity may nave upon the common veal.
 We become convinced that the labor union is menace to the right of the individual to labor when and where and how he pleases. Then we conclude that the wrongs and injuries of labor can be overcome only ay united effort, so we exempt labor organizations from the operation of the anti trust laws. Of course, It was not intended to exempt them from pun ishment for creating a monopoly or committing any other crime, nor was it contemplated to grant the unions authority to Keep from work any man who did not care to join them. But the unions and the pub lie came to believe that some such special privilege haa been granted, so recently sprang up the fad of putting the unions out of business, even though they attempted nothing more than collective bargaining and improvement Of working condl- tions.
 Conservation has not escaped the faddist. The wild lands Of the west are to be kept for unborn generations, even though the prices of foodsrlffs are mounting. The mosquito deserts of Arizona are to

THE .FADDISTs IN AMERICA

certain? We are placing the na- tions of the old world in doubt as to whether we intend to conserve our money and our intellectual hon esty still further. We are keeping the word of promise to the ear and breaking it to t-e hope. Every con tribution of money that goes from this country to stricken Europe leads it to believe that in some way the American people. propose to sta bllize European aIfairs.
 l never had any doubt that Presi- dent Wilson did the pest that could be done for our country. 1 still think we should have approved h1s conduct, removed the sense of fear from France and enabled her to dis band her army. But a new man IS at the helm of our international re- lations and l am trusting him. President Harding has for his sec retary of state a lover of peace and very great lawyer. 1 neither criti- else nor laud what is being done. Now, as always, l am trusting our iforeign affairs in the hands of the | President until his negotiations have
 been concluded. But l hope we l shall not continue to conserve our i intellectual honesty. It should be used. Nothing is so certain te add to trouble as uncertainty.
 Does any one believe that the American people voluntarily will l forgive our governmental loans to any European nations? Does any | fhs1,ly for nnf thnf hA
 people of this country would con-. sent to using our arnE and navy for enforcing peace in Europe and compelling the disbandment of it's vast stahdisg armies? The in- 1 tellectual honesty of America says neither of these things is possible.
 May we not hope that the old world will soon be mades to understand
 this? May we not further hope that the financial experts of Amer
 ica and of Great Britain will find some solution to the depreciated
 currency of the old world and solve
 the separations problem, thereby re-
 storing fairly normal conditions?
 The greatest soldier that a peo-
 pie has is the almighty dollar, and
 if he be either weak or drunken, l the public policy of that people
 will be vain and futile. There must
 be restoration of the monetary
 system of Europe before there can
 be any hope of peace. Quite prop-i
 ably our government should not
 officially undertake it, but it is to
 be hoped that the acumen of Amer
 ican bankers will find solution
 in the interests of their own coun- 1 try as well as of the rest of the
 world. There will come time when even bankrupt Europe will
 say to us: "We are tired of hear
 ing you talk about it. If you are
 not going to do anything. keep still" Copyright 1923. by Thomas R. Marshall

87------------~ss--- EGO AND PERSPECTIVE

Change, if not one of the laws of nature, is a constant result of its laws. Everything here below changes ceaselessly. And If mountains seem not to change, it is because of one's perspective. But mountains do change as surely as do lesser things. Any failure to perceive this and other changes merely shows the perspective to bea at fault. For change to affect those sublirfeiy stoid monuments of the earth it takes few million years at east. That is, for the aver age of mountains it takes that long. Mount Pelee blew off it's top. Mount Everest has lost few hundred feet of it's summit in our time, and recent scientific surveys in the south Pacific reveal immense mounds fin those immeasurable depths which were not there shortly before. Some islands in that region were lately awarded to one of the warning nations, but when ships went out appropriately to label them, they had dis appeared. All unknown to us, earthquakes had made cataclysmic changes in the floor of the Pacific. With casual gesture, as it were, nature had waved aside the awards, making men seem little ridiculous.
 It is perhaps due to our own intense pre- occupation with the business of filling the gap between the cradle and the grave in a way acceptable to our ego that makes us liable to error also in estimating changes in human affairs of any kind. It is certain that we are constantly in error Tn not allowing for the changes within ourselves. Changes in others we see readily enough but we are pretty apt to feel that we, amid all their mutations, have remained steadfast And being certain that this is so as to our position, we comment freely >on the gen eral decadence of the times, the genera

be converted into forest reserves. Oil and mineral lands are to be preserved for oncoming genera tions. Water powers are not to be used lest somebody should make dollar out of them. Conservation seems to be a prison wherein to confine the adventurous spirit of the conquering pioneer.
 We have political conserya- tion which l deem Of infinite harm to the American people. It is a sort of conservation of our intel- lectural honesty. We let our heart throbs go on in international af- fairs, but;we will not permit our intellectual honesty to be used in Athe solution of those affairs. We know clearly enough there is but one of two courses for us to purs sue, yet we seem unwilling to pur- sue either. It ought to be apparent that we are to engage in the poli- tics of the world or that we are to return to that pleasing condition of life wherein we can say, Let the world go hang" We cannot be in
 world affairs and out of world af- fairs at the same time.
 Personally, have always felt that it was the duty of America to join the League of Nations and remain
 a member of it until the countries of the old world shall have recovered from the shell-shock of war and re- turned to normal conditions. I do
 not seek to throw monkey wrench into the machinery of international affairs, but as an onlooker, I can
 not help wondering why, if we are not going to have anything to do with European politics, based as it is largely upon finance, we are con stantly advising the peoples of the
 old world as to what they ought l to do.
 We are pouring out our money
 to aid and relieve stricken peo- l pie who on Christmas day, if news reports are correct, burned God in
 effigy. We are endeavoring to as sist financially ana 10 give. advice touching the treatment that should be accorded by the Turk lto the Armenian. We are constantly talk
 ing about the brotherhood of man
 kind. Our intellectual honesty teaches us that the apostle made a
 pertinent inquiry when he asked 1:
 And what concord hath Christ with
 Belial, or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?" If it
 meant the brotherhood of man in the sense that God made all men, yes. But if brotherhood of man means that royalist and democrat,
 militarist and arbitrationist, heather
 and Christian all look and think
 and act fraternally, no. Why don't we admit that it is not, so much the
 hooking up with Europe that we
 fear as it is the dread of brotherly relations with some Europeans who do not have the views we en-

slump in manners and in morals, the uni versal changes-in others. We hug our selves into the belief that we alone have escaped; that even though mountains may change and all that sort of thing, we have not changed. It is as Though each of us has sort of theory of relativity of his own each of us from his observation tower somewhere near the fixed stars sees only the changes relating to other people. Our observations are relative only to them. The truth is our perspective is too much governed by our egos.

SIMPLE JUSTICE DEMANDS IT

One outstanding disclosure from the airing of the attempted excess valuation of the Alabama Power Company by the old commission is the fact that although the law creating the AIaoama Public Service Commission ,grantssthe utilities the right of appeal from a decision of the commission, the people, whom the law is primarily designed to protect, are denied the same equal right l
 The senate of Alabama the past week passed bill amending the act and it is now before the judiciary committee of the house for report. The eyes of the people of Ala bama will be focused upon the Judiciary committee the next Few days, for what is sought in the senate bill is but to give the people the same right, the same measure of justice, the same equality of treatment as is accorded the utilities. The measure of concern of the legislators for the public in- terest will be ascertained when the people of the state see what action is taken by them upon this question of simple equity and justice in the public behalf.

Over, and over, and over again and yet have failed so often that we have gotten tired.
 Will no success ever come to us?
 And why, my friend, do you not look deeper, and find out that, sooner or later, your efforts will find response, if you only keep heaving away.
 The time fof your celebration will come, and you will have your day.
 So, keep up your spirits, and dig down deeper, and fight, fight, fight, till you've won what you were after.
