VETERAN HAS FOUR
HONORABLE DISCHARGES

Monte Warner, of Laramie, Wy
oming, has World War record
that must irk Grover Bergdoll, the
celebrated draft dodger. he has four
perfectly good honorable discharges
from the United States Army pack
ed away in his trunk and "Monte
Warner" is the name on all of them.
1t came about this way:
Mr.. Warner enlisted for the first
officers training camp in April, 1917,
and not having qualified at that
time for an aviation commission
he was discharged, honorable dis
charge No. 1. He Immediately re-
enlisted as an aviation cadet at
the same field and while awaiting
his commission he was assigned
to instruction duty. In the perfor-
nance of that service his plane
suffered an accident in which his
mechanic was killed and he SER
iously injured. As a result, he was
discharged on March Ia, 1918
honorable discharge No. 2. After
some difficulty and much unwind
ing of red-tape he secured medical
waver and was permitted to re-
enlist at Washington the following
May; having made the trip to Wash
ington while still dependent on
crutches. He was ordered to Chan
ute Field, Rantaul, ILL.,, where on
his third start he. qualified for his
wings in short order and was dis
charged in order to be commits
oned,-hnorable discharge No. 8.
He was again assigned to instruc-
tion duty, and although he applied
for work in another department to
expedite the order that would send
him to France, the Armstice inter-
fered. His fourth and final honor
able discharge followed.

COMPULSORY AUTOMOBILE
LIABILITY INSURANCE.

This subject will undoubtedly
receive considerable attention at the
hands of future lawmaking bodies.
1t is a subject deserving of SER
ious consideration but it will be
seized upon by advocates of state
socialism as a vehicle for inau-
gurating their schemes of public
ownership of industry.
There may be sound reasons for
the state requiring automobile own
ers to carry liability insurance to
protect the public in case of acci-
dents, but there is no sound ar.
gument for demanding that the
state go into the liability insurance
business in order to furnish such
protection.
compulsory automobile liability
insurance operated without state
fund interference but entirely
through the agency of recognized
insurance companies is termed an
unqualified success as operated in
Switzerland.
The fact that in number of
states an insurance fund is main
tanned in connection with work.
mems compensation insurance. is
no excuse for extending the sys-
tenn which is in itself contrary to
American ideals of government.
Let the state pass its laws pro-
tecting workmen or the public and
provide what damage they shall be
entitled to in case of injury. Then
let the state see that these laws
are complied with through the chan.
nels of private business.
1t has all the regulators and no.
nee power at its command. If IL
is not capable of enforcing its laws
and regulations, it is not capable
OF operating business or industry
If it is capable of enforcing lis
laws and regulations, it is not nee
essary for the state to operate bus
mess or industry.
Let legislators and lawmakers bs-
ware of new schemes to put the
state into business.-Iudustrial News.

VETERANS TO WORK

OOI PEACE PLAN
Active steps towards world peace
will bulk larger in the program of
The American Legion for 1925 than
ever heretofore.
The national commander has ap-
pointed an American Legion World
Peace committee to consider all
factors in the present world stu
alton and study plans or organi-
cations now working for peace. The
committee is to report to the 1925
convention "the most practical plan
whereby the influence and power
of the Legion may be most effect
lively utilized for securing perman-
ent world peace.
One of the important features
will be to urge the passage of the
universal service act for conscrip-
tion of men, money and materials
in case of war. The Legion urges
that this plan will, by taking the
profit out of war, do much to lessen
the possibility of international con-
fiict.

HE GETS THE BROWN DERBY

A man rushed into a store. but
ted into sale being made by the
clerk to another customer, and de-
manded that he be waited on. 1t
was 10 o'clock on Christmas Eve.
The tired clerk promised to wait
on him as soon as he finished with
the other customers. So the man
stod restlessly fuming and NUT
tering under his breath until he
was waited on. All he bought was
a pocket-iSandkerchief, and demand
ed that it be put up in Christmas
box.
Then he rushed away and into a
novelty store and fumed and fret
ted some more until he was waited
on. He bought five cent Christ
mas card, kept the clerk wait
ing while he wrote his name on it.
then handed it with the handker-
chief to the clerk and demanded
that it be done up for him.
When he had been accommodated
he hurriedly wrote an address on
the package, dashed around to the
Postoffice and fumed and frothed
at the mouth some more because
he had to stand in line. He grumbled
while the clerk was weighing and
stamping the package, and paid the
postage as reluctantly as if it
had been a million dollars.
And on the morning after Christ
mas, when he didn't, get present
from the man. to whom he sent
the handkerchief, he was as mad
as a wet hen. After all the trouble
took for that boob, he ought to
have sent me card at least!"
