OIL AND THE BONUS

II seems far cry from the oil in-
 vestigation to the bonus. but there is
 q connection between them which has 1 it's significance Briefly stated, and in
 calling for some adjusted compensa- i tion law for the former fighters are | see not only the oil investigation car ried to a finish, but also the other
 suggested scandals which are stirring | the country.
 And similarly some of the people
 most violently opposed to the bonus
 are the ones who have had the most
 intimate knowledge Of the question,
 able practices which have obtained in
 Washington for a long time. Thus
 statement does not imply that allfop-
 ponents of the bonus wink at such
 practices, nor that they are lukewarm
 in their desire to see matters cleared
 up and justice done in the affairs which are under investigation. But the
 statement, taken broadly. applies.
 Secretary of State Hughes speaking
 of the late President Harding. said he was "an aristicrat of the plain peo- pie" of the country. The plain people of the country are, in fact, the coun- try. If enough of them believe in a movement and demand it, that move ment will succeed. In the long run the opinion of the people is the wise opinion unless it be upon q matter in- volving technicalities which the aver age man is not in a position to under stand.
 The scandals in high places in | Washington have offended the plain | people. The attitude of the "big inter- 1 ests" in regard to the adjusted com l pensation has offended the people. | Those of the former service men who | are opposed to the bonus are, for the most part. not of the people or else they are influenced hy others than of the popular will.
 With all due respect to the men in Y who direct and those who handle affairs there, it is to be doubt d if the investigation would have in- 'olved so many men in high places, if t had been left to them to decide. There would have been an application ,f tho whitewash brush in many in- stances, and the guilty or inefficient would have dropped quietly out of hings without being obliged to suffer great deal. But Washington knew nd knows today that tho vast army f the people" Of the country would ot be satisfied with this arrangement. again the realization by the powers 1, hat be" of the strength Of public | pinion has impelled them to go on. hey must go on just as long as that reat army of inc plain people de- : iand ii. At the first sign of a lessen lg of public demand, tentative pro- . osals to drop the subject" will bc lade. But there will be no lessening ' f public demand. As Washington has : this fact, it would be well s ,r Washington to realize that the reat mass of the plain people---those Ii, ho make Up public opinion---is in h tvor 8f keeping our word to the for ri Ter service men.

AND GEORGE DID TT

It is amusing to attempt to visual
 ize the meeting of republican leaders
 Saturday when Judge Alling was con. | vinced that the salvation of the party
 in the city of New Britain depended upon his decision to run for the office of mayor. Gathered in earnest thought were the brains of the organization. Among the earnest thinkers was one George Quigley, hitherto n recalcitrant
 member of the q. o. F. Also, in con- ference assembled, was Judge George
 klett, Senator Hall and, presumably.
 Judge Alling. Just why MT. Quigley
 was haled into council it is easy to
 understand. Without him the party
 could not present a united front, with him it could. Just why Mir. Qnigley
 suddenly transformed himself into one
 who seconds" instead of one who
 would lead time alone will tell-wc cannot imagine now. But the lion and the lamb were side by side Saturday
 for the first time in many moons.
 Before noon the powers that be had decided that the public reaction to the candidacy of Mir. Holmes was not sufficiently enthusiastic to forecast his running strongly at the polls on election day. This must have been obvious to those who run the machine despite the fact that considerable pressure must have been brought to bear upon Mir. Holmes in the first place to get him 10 announce his It is our opinion that he did not care to run, but yielded to | pressure.
 Someone must be obtained to re- place Mir. Holmes, thought the ma chine. Who? Hence the deep thought | on the part of tho thinkers.
 Let's see now--they probably | not Judge filling. He's | popular, the Judge is, has lot Of | friends. let's ask him. Hold on a min- \ utc-how does George Quigley stand | on this. First thing we do let's ask George c. twe are going to call him George c. after this because there is going to be another George in it in | minute. We will call him George kD Here follows q conyersation be- .wcen George K. and~George c. that we cannot even imagine. We shall de- 1ote a lapse Of time in the usual man. 1nr
 Then the following conversation, or like it took place:

@'TRANsFORAIER BURNS OUT

Due to the damp weather and other
causes the transformer on the Edisen
Electric Company's line in Quarry
vile got on fire Monday morning and
set fire to the pole. Tho engine was
taken to the scene and while 1t put
out the fire on the pole it was not
effective ON the transformer. for the
strong electric current kept feeding
thru the wires that had the insulation
burned off, furnishing a display OF
fireworks.
There was no way to shut off the
current there so the fire continued
until 1t had burned out the trans
former, thus cutting off the light and
power to the borough Industries.
About eleven o'cook workmen had
repairs made and service was again
rendered. .-Q -Quarryville Sun.

NO SHORTER BALLOT

Belief that the Short Ballot Com
mission will not recommend any i'm
portant change in the Maryland cleo
>tion system iS expressed. There
seems to be general feeling that the
Commission will not see fit to recon-
mend changes of elective 0fffces to
appointive, and that such proposals,
If made, would be turned down by
the Legislature.
+ A theory expressed was that cleo
tions to fill some of the less impor-
tant offices stir up local interest and
bring out votes ON more important
men and measures 1t has been said
that some Of the Clerks of the city
and county courts are more widely
known than the Judges, through
activity of the former in politics.
Chief Judge James P. Gorter, of
Baltimore, has been elected chairman
of the Commission. to succeed the
late Judge N. Charles Burke.
