Illuminating.
Her letter follows:

President of the Senate, Michigan
State Legislature, Lansing, Mich.
Dear Mr.. President: Enclosed here
with you will please find Postofice or
der in the amount of $500. This money,
Mr.. President, is the Soldiers Bonus
money given me by the State Of Michi-
gan.
Last summer l wandered thru the
senate chamber. 1t was empty. sat
in one of the seats and wondered what
it must be like to be lawmaker.
am returning this bonus money be-
cause l believe we have all been mis-
taken,-the State of Michigan in pass
ing Soldiers Bonus in the first place,
and we, who are entitled to receive
it, in taking it. We have capitalized
war. We have established wrong
precedent for the coming generations.
There must be found some way to
honorably settle differences between
nations, and the rulers Of nations,
other then plunging whole civiliza-
ton into warfare, which if it comes
again. will exterminate the greater
share Of mankind. Are wrongs righted
by violently thrusting a million or
more men from one plane of exist
ence to another?
General Sherman was right when he
made his famous statement concern
ing war. AND, it does not end when
the Armistice is signed.
In the long, long days that have
gone since that morning when watch

brown prairies of Texas to join his

what war really means has borne it.

been too awful if it had come all at
once. 1t would have crushed me. If
had this vision two years ago, I
would never have applied for the
bonus. Now 1 see; and because
must "carry on" l return the money
to my State; and trust that it will
divert it into channels where it will

to rather destroy the organization
than give up his power, even to the
extent of protecting common crooks
in office. 1t is rumored that the Bush
ness Agent Harry Ebright and the
Financial Secretary Conrad both had
a considerable shortage of the locals
funds and therefore the militants
would have to be prevented from TAX
ing office. 1t is said that both of these
fellows made good the shortage, one
thru immediate payment, the other
paying off with monthly notes.
These two loyal members" have,
however, resigned from their posi-
lions whether under pressure or
otherwise, and International Organizer
Griffith has been elected Business
Agent. He is having hard time con-
vincing the membership that the I. A.
of M. is a democratic organization
where every member has right to
express himself. This same Mr.. Eb-
right has been given his reward by
his masters in an appointment as city
mechanic by the Ku Klux city adj
Iministration.
1t is significant that this same in
dividual is President of the Central
Labor Union of Toledo which recently
carried on a campaign to raise funds
thru voluntary assessment in order to
build up it's treasury and then spent
the money to buy 1000 dollar hup-
mobile for the business agent.
The militants were the driving force
in that campaign as their plan was to
propose to use the money for organ
ization purposes. However, they are
now out of there and the c. L. U. has
taken up its usual interest in baseball
and stag parties, etc, and as result
nothing is being accomplished, Toledo
becoming an open shop town and po
litically falling into the hands of the

cape his wide-open mouth as he flies

doesn't fall short.
He is quite independent OF man;
he works for him. but he takes no
