Congressman George 8. Graham,
Republican, Of Pennsylvania, who il
chairman of the judiciary committee,

voice heard In this matter, and
through the efforts of Congressman
RosenbIoom the people of this state
hA1SJ hdFC iC5tOtcu " tASAu tAdI WA1lI1
Is rightfulIy theirs.
Congressman Rosenbloom has sub
mitted voluminous evidence to- the
committee showing the rights of West
Virginia, the rights Of the committee
to act and the propriety of having
the matter definitely settled by the
court Of claims of the United States.
The claim arises from the action Of
the counties now comprising West
Virginia in Withdrawing from the
State Of Virginia during the Civil
War.
AS he well said before the Commit
tee: Let 1t never be, said that loyal
ty to the Union, when Loyalty was
sorely needed, shall be subject to .

JUDGE FREES SOLDIER WHO
STOLE AND SCORES GOVT

Governmental penuriousness in
the treatment of disabled veterans of
the World War was roundly scored
by Judge James p Gorter in the
Criminal Court at Baltimore, Md,
on May ID, 1924, following the con-
viction for larceny of Charles f..
Bowling, wounded veteran living
at 2,S05 Hamilton Avenue, that city
Judge Gorling dismissed the case
against Bowling, and said:
1.-THE United States Government is
the real criminal in this case. Here
is man who served his country
willingly and fearlessly when his
country needed him. He was wound
ed and gassed in this service and is
now unable to work.
"He has a wife and child depend
ent upon him, and yet, for all that
he has done for his country, his
country will not, in his extremity,
give him enough money so that he
and his family can live. Thus he is
driven to dishonesty.
at would be far better to cease
this talk of bonus for able-bodied
soldiers and give disabled men an
allowance which would enable them
to live without stealing"

HOW ABOUT YOU?

When Abraham Lincoln was
Young man he ran for the legislature
of Illinois and was badly swamped.
He next entered business-failed-
and spent II years of his life pay
ing up the debts of worthless part
ner.
He was in love with beautiful
woman to whom he became en-
gaged-and then she died.
Entering politics again he ran for
Congress and was badly defeated. He
then tried for an appointment in the
United States Land Office, but fail
ed. After this he became a candidate
for the United States Senate and
was defeated.
In 1856 he became candidate for
the vice presidency, but lost the
race. In 1858 he was once more de-
feated, this time by Douglas.
In the face of all this, he event
ually became one of the country's
greatest men, if not The greatest.
How would you stand in face of
such setbacks? Think it over.--The
Manufacturer.
