HARDING HELD BONUS A PER,
VERSION OF PUBLIC FUNDS.

Too many people have absorbed the
idea that the late President Harding
based his veto of the soldiers bonus
bill solely ON the condition of the
treasury at the time 1t is true that
the struggle of the republican admin
istration TO overcome the deficit in the
national accounts was the most pres
sing reason why that particular
measure should net be enacted into law.
But the argument based on financial
inability to meet the obligations of
the proposed bonus law did not touch
the fundamentals of the questions. II
did not go to the principle of distribut-
ing the taxpayers money as a gift TO
the x-soldiers. Mr. Harding did, how
ever dedicate a part of his veto mes
sage to the general policy of SOL
diers bonus. He said:
"a peace bestowal on the eX-
service men. as though the SUI
preme Offering could be paid for
with cash. is a perversion of pub
lie funds. a reversal of the policy
which exalted service in the past.
and suggests that further defense
is to be inspired by compensation
rather than consciousness of duty
to flag and country"
That objection to soldiers bonus

iition of the treasury or how light

PLAIN TALK, NOT POLITICS.

Burlington IN. j. Enterprise.
An intelligent Republican threatens
to vote the Democratic ticket next
year because of the high cost of
sugar, which he ascribes to the tariff
If he wishes to change his vote to the
Democratic side it is his right and
duty, we may do likewise, though for
quite a different reason. Three years
ago when sugar was on the free list
a combine got control of the market
and ran the price up to three times
what it is now and did ii just as it is
done now. One reason the conspirat-
ors were able to do the trick so easily
was that putting sugar on the free
list threatened the beet sugar industry
in the Northern states and all that
was necessary to rob the public was
to get control of the cane sugar. Per-
haps if this gentleman and some
ladies would get from under the in
fluence of free trade politicians and
study the matter themselves they
would realize that sugar should pay
it's share of tariff taxes as a matter

CANYON TRAIN SERVICE DE-
PENDS ON PATRONAGE.

Wallace business men have Ions
advocated a train service between this
city and Burke by which employees OF
the mines who live in Wallace would
be conveyed to and from their work
at the beginning and end of the shift,
believing that such a service would
induce many married men employed
in the mines to make their homes in
Wallace, where conditions are more
desirable for families. In recent
years the mining companies at Burke
have come to realize the value of such
a service to them in attracting mar
ried men to the mines 1t is not un-
common for married men to decline
employment at Burke for the sole
reason that tine living conditions in
the canyon are such that they viii
not bring their families there. These
conditions refer to the narrow can
yon. in which houses are strung
along the railroad and automobile
road with no space for yard or play
ground; the heavy snow, danger from
snowslides. and altogether the physi-
cal impossibnity of making home

Christmas Bells
BY Henry w. LongfeIIow.


] heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play.
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
OF peace on earth, goodwill to men!
And thought how, as the day had
come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
OF peace on earth, goodwill to- mem
Till ringing. swinging on its way
The world revolved from night to day
A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime
OF peace on earth, goodwill to menl
Then from each black, accused mouth
The cannon Numbered in the South
And with the sound
The carols drowned
or peace on earth, goodwill to men.
II was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth stones of a continent
And made forlOrn
The households born
or peace on earth, goodwill to mem
And in despair l bowed my head;
There is no peace on earth" I said;
For hate is strong
And moeks the song
Os peace on earth good will to mem"
Then pealed the bells more loud and
deep;
God is not dead; nor doth he sleep!
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail
With peace on earth. goodwill to
mem"

Of the year But the pople Of Wal
lace and the canyon who desire this
service and will profit by it should
understand exactly the conditions
under which the railroad companies
have undertaken it, and what they
must do to secure permanent bene-
fetal results
To begin with, il should be remem-
bered that the railroads have been
forced out of passenger business in
the canyon by jimeys. and it is not
the prospect of business now that
the prospect of business now that
has caused the railroads to agree
to establish service Rather it is
the inibility of the jitneys to
maintain service during the winter
that has caused the railroads to meet
the emergency upon the urgent re-
quest of the business men of Wallace
people of the canyon and the mining
companies. with the specific under
standing that it is a temporary SER
vice.
Now with that understood. it
should be very clear to all who are
interested in having this train service
maintained permanently that it is up
to them to not only patronize the trains
but to urge others to do so. Many
of the employees OF the mines now
living in Wallace who have been going
to and from their work in jitneys or
in their own cars will ride on the
trains during the winter months.
Outside of these most of the patrons
of the trains will be single men who |
are unable to obtain rooms in Burke, I
and before the trains start in on this |
new schedule the business men of |
Wallace should investigate the room
ing facilities here and see that ac-
are available. If these
men find accommodations in Wallace
good and rates reasonable they will
want to stay here permanently watch
will be to the advantage of this city
But the big advantage. the one that
will contribute most to the permanent
.toNvth and nrosDerit, of Wallace is
10 get men with families to make
heir homes here, and this cannot be
lone through a temporary train SER
vice during the winter months. Be
ore a married man employed in the
mines at Burke can afford to bring
lis family to Wallace. he must know
hat permanent railroad transporta-
ion to and from the mines is assured.
nd the only way this can be assured
$ to develop sufficient business to
make the trains profitable or at least
Reduced down to the
inal and vital point, while the long de-
ired train service is assured during .
he winter months it's continuance be- 7
ond that period depends wholly upon I
he patronage in sight In other
lords. it is up to those whose inter
SITS are served by the trains to boost
Or business for them.

Two Rich Gold Veins.

you will see by the heading of this
sheet that we have a company
formed, the organization having been
completed just about a month ago.
Now, Tom, we have a wonderful gold
mine here, but I will have to wait till
later to give you a full description.
We have incorporated for 100000.
with an equal number of shares of the
par value of ST. We have eleven
claims and there are four distinct
parallel lodges about 200 feet apart.
One ledge has been worked down to
the 400 level through tunnel No. 4.
Another tunnel, No. 5, which taps this
ledge and also another, both of which
show good values in gold. In fact,
the lowest assay obtained from the
second vein was SO, while other as
says returned as high as $500 and
$4,000. The other ledge, which 1 have
mentioned as having been worked
down to the 400 is equally as rich.
am sending you assays from
samples I took myself and which were
assayed by A. H. Patterson in our
own assay Office at the mine, and so !
know that they are correct.
