Government Annuitants
Appeal for Succor'
To the Editor of The star:

To the Editor of The Star:
The former employees of the Govern
ment who have been retired from it's
service appeal to Congress to pass the
liberalized retirement bill at this ses-
sion.
When a person has reached the re-
tirement age, his expectation of life is
short. He can expect to live only a
few years more. Morituri vos salu-
tamus-We who are about to die,
salute you! Do not leave us in dis
tress for the little time remaining
to us.
The retired employees are dying off
annually by the hundreds. Every day
sees one or more of them buried.
Their end has been hastened, in the
case of those still efficient, by the
lack of employment, and, in the case
of nearly all. by worry caused by in
sufficiency of the annuity.
Unless the retired Government en-
ployes were exceptionally fortunate.
now, in their old age, they must hunt
for new and strange employment, or
be dependent upon the bounty of rela-
tives or of public charity. They can
not get food. clothing, and shelter for
$40 a week, which is about the ave
rage annuity. VIII Congress leave

Great rockets of steam sphrted high

No human or artificial agency
could possibly equal this giant mani

In this latest eruption the native
ancient faith in Pele, the goddess OF

law of a United States Senator this
year. Mrs. Johnson's father. former
Representative Ed" f.. Roberts of
Nevada. Is an aspirant for the Re
publican seat now held by Senator
Tasker L. Oddie. Mr.. Roberts, who
is now mayor of Reno. was in Con.
gress when Barney" wooed and won
the Representative handsome daugh-
ter Hazel. The Oddie-Roberts duel will
be fought out at the Nevada senatorial
prima ries in September. The winner
probably will have to contest the No
vember election with Raymond T.
Baker. who is in the forefront for the
Democratic nomination. The Adonis-
like former director of the mint is an
immensely popular figure among Dem
ocra tic national leaders and they are
ready to go to bat for him in Nevada.
Senator Oddie's friends contend that
his primary fences are in good shape.
although they admit that Roberts
wide-open wet platform is not without
appeal in these days of prohibition
unrest.
All this week there will be forest
music in the air. for the United States
Forest Service has arranged for more
than 100 Forest Week" radio talks.
Stations in Canada will join in the
broadcasting. too, for the Dominion
and the United States this year are
observing forest weeks simultaneously
and closely cooperating. There's
vastly more, interest in forest pres
ervation than is generally realized.
The Forest Service has recently dis
tributed over a million pieces of
literature on request. which is three
times the amount asked for and cir
culated a year ago. w. B. Greeley,
Uncle Sans chief forester, claims
this is graphic evidence of the uni
versally growing interest in the Ma
tions timber problems. Paramount
emphasis in Forest week is placed on
the need for growing tree crops on
all land best suited for that purpose,
on the prevention and control of
forest fires, and on the duty of each
State and region to solve it's own
forestry difficulties.
One of the Coolidge economy pro-
gram innovations insisted upon by
the director of the budget is the TAX
ing of discounts on all Government
purchases. The chief of finance of
the War Department recently re-
ported that since the system was in
stituted the Army has saved $1,722.-
061 on it's purchases. In pre.budget
days nobody bothered about discounts.
Nowadays, under Gen. Lords save
the-pennies regime, all departments
are taking them wherever available.

Wet Views by Labor
Spokesman Protested.

To the Editor of The star:
Recently several officers of the
American Federation of Labor
notably Mr.. William Roberts, said
to be representing President Will
liam Green, appeared before the
Senate investigation committee on
the prohibition law. Mr.. Roberts as
chief spokesman stated that the
wage earners belonging to the
American fedora ton were opposed
to the Volstead act" | am mem
ber in good standing of this organ
iZation. | question the right or an-
thority of Mr.. Roberts or any other
officers of the organiza tion TO ap-
pear before this committee and
speak for me or many thousands of
other law-abidinS. 1aw-respecting
members, who believe in prohibition
and say we are in favor of beer
and light wines. These thirsty
laborers can speak for themselves
and themselves only. They have no
right to speak for my political. re-
ligious or moral beliefs. These are
for each member of the organization
to express as they themselves wish,
in accordance with their personal
ideas. | certainly have not author
lied Mr.. Roberts to do so. and object
most Strenuously to his assuming
that right.
Following these dry and parched
advocates of plenty of booze comes
to the stand Father kasaczun from
Sugar Notch, Pa. This worthy man
told a sorry tale of conditions due,
he declared, to prohibition in his
community. Every home has a
still" he stated: the wives tend
them while their husbands work"
The Volstead act is responsible for
all this and much more. Give us
light wines and beer" he continued.
"and these stills will disappear and
drunkenness and such excesses will
cease"
Later. in answer to a question as
to enforcement, he told the Senators
that "bootleggers f1ourished every
where in Sugar Notch: liquor was
easily secured. and. worst of ALL
more than 20 go, count 'emD
saloons We're doing business every
day in his town, not one of which
had ever been closed since prohibit
tion came along" Now the question
naturally comes up as to these 90
thirst emporiums. If they have teen
operating openly as he states. why
such activities at the homes of his
parishioners? Can't they take care
of the demand? Is it fair to make
prohibition responsible for the con-
dition he mentions. when by his own
story neither prohibition nor the
Volstead act seems to have ever
been put into effect in the town with
the saccharine moniker. BY the way
it is reported by the census of 1920
as having total population of 2,s12
persons. Certainly it's we'll equipped

With His Colors Flying.

I'pS and downs. victory ana ueiedt'
in the world of politics are old stories
to sehardered Washington and ITS
men in public life, many of whom
have PLAYED the game" for years.
1t is the custom to speed the parting
politician and to welcome the new.
Eut the recent defeat of Senator VIII
liam r. Mckinley at the Republican
senatorial primaries In Illinois has
brought to his colleagues in the Sen
ate and to a host of friends in the
National Capital real sense of per-
sonal regret. For a score of years,
first in the House and during the last
six wears in the Senate, he has gone
his industrious, kindly way. a sub
stantial American. standing for what
is best in the public life of the coun-
try. He has had the confidence of
his people in Illinois and the conf
dence of the men of his party.
Senator Mckinley has been guided
always by a strong sense of party
loyalty. In the United States, where
the system of party government has
prevailed practically since the incep-
ton of the Federal Government. that
is no small virtue. Team work under
such system is essential or else a
party must fall. A party without
principles cannot live-not long. at
all events Senator Mckinley has
been devoted to the principles Of the
Republican party during all his adult
life. He has adhered to the best in
his party.
In a measure his loyalty to his
party and to his beliefs led to his
! recent defeat at the polls. Senator
! Mckinley stood by the Republican
party platform of 1924 and by Presi-
| dent Coolidge, and also by his own
ideals, which have looked to Justice
and peace in the world, when he cast
his vote for American adherence to
the World Court with the safeguard
ing reservations adopted by the Sen
ate He was no stranger to the
knowledge that the hotbed of anti
League of Nations sentiment. and
with it opposition to the World Court
because it was set up through the
instrumentality Of the league. has been
the Middle West, his own country.
But that did not deter him. if it did
others. He played the game accord
ing to the rules and his own convic-
tions. His vote for the World Court
was made the chief issue in the cam
paign against him. His defeat was
intimately connected with it.
Senator Mckinley has given much
attention to international affairs. He
has been a member of the United
States delegation to the Interparlia
mentary Union, organized to aid in
bringing about better relations among
the nations. In fact. he was the head
of that delegation at the conference
of the union held here in Washing
ton last Fall. His inclination has
been toward the establishment Of a
Permanent Court of International JUS
tice, with the United States playing
its part therein. He has believed in
the World Court, and his support Of
it was consistent with that belief.
If he has gone down in the battle of
politics, it was with his colors flying.
