Haven't They Something Coming?

Quinn COC.- j JOuI-~D
This writer recently read an editorial decrying the fact
that congress recently passed a bill that will allow in
creases to veterans of the war with Spain, the Philippine
rebellion and the Boxer outbreak, stating that we are
again to have another expensive outlay Of money for
pensions that will exceed even that Of the Civil war"
That is just too bad, isn't it? Well say 1t is. It is
too bad In the first place that the writer could not have
been with us when we had the Job Of chasing the Span
iards out of the Philippines. and the one that followed
the cleaning up the unholy mess that was created by our
dearly beloved Aguinaldo, and lesser Filipino generals.
If that writer had been with US one day in the jungles
and had stumbled on the spread-eagled form of one OF
his comrades ,over a white ant hill and had viewed the
whitening bones that had been stripped clean by those
vermin; or If he had seen a man fall into the deadfan
filled with poisoned bamboo spears so arranged that a
man could not escape being impaled thereon; or if he had
seen a comrade die from the whiplaSh bite of a poisonous
viper; or had he been present when white heads were
found in the village of the headhunters where they were
being preserved and shrunken by smoke; or had he been
a victim of the dread Asiatic cholera that leaves q man
Of he survives, which is unusuaD a cripple for life; or
if he had fought off an ambuscade Of fanatical natives
who welded the dreaded bolo and kriss; or if he had
undergone from fourteen months to two years of active
insular service in any shape or form, 1t might be that
the editorial would never have been written.
Now, then, brother, don't you think these men who
have undergone these things, and are perhaps today I'M
able to live life without daily pain because of the service
rendered their country and a down-troddea race of people,
are entitled to assisted sustenance at the hands Ct the
rest OF us?
Shame on you! And you call yourself an Americana

A Socialist on Agriculture
ISt. Paul Dispatch

ISt. Paul D1Spatch) 81
Norman Thomas, Socialist and candidate for congress
from Brooklyn. takes exception to a recent editorial in
the Pioneer Press suggesting that his party has been
additionally indifferent to agriculture while aspiring to
the championship Of the interests of all producers. His
letter, which appears on this page, makes the point that
as a Socialist he regards the interests of the farmers
and of city labor, for which he chiefly speaks, as iden-
tical.
The failure of Socialism to pay much attention to the
farm problem he does not deny, but lays the blame on
capitalism, or the prevailing system of private property
ownership. Certain reasons" says Mr.. Thomas, have
worked to make the rural problem "a peculiarly battling
one on which to submit an immediate program
The certain reasons to which MI. Thomas refers are
not made very plain: The farmer is himself a land
lord. He is, usually in a small way, a capitalist. AL
though tenantry has been slowly increasing in America,
some 60 per cent of the countrys more than six million
farms are still operated by their owners. The new census
may disclose some reduction in this proportion, but the
fact still remains that the battling problem to which the
Socialists confess to have no immediate answer remains
one predominantly Of the individual landowning pro-
prietor.
With such prejudices it is natural that a Socialist
should find the farm problem too battling for an i'm
mediate program. The farmer only asks a fair align
ment between the pricoof the things he sells and that
Of the things he buys. including labor. What he gets
in reply is adamantine opposition to better prices, plus
some Socialist theories calculated to meet the increas-
ing tenantry of agriculture, not by sparing the insti-
tuition of the individual .land-owning farmer, on which
Americas social and political democracy has historically
rested, but by making all farmers tenants Of the govern
ment.

Courtesy of the Road

A writer in the current issue Of The Nation calls at
tention to q by-product of the automobile industry
which ordinarily goes unmentioned- the utter r~uination
of tempers and manners which the automobile seems to
have brought to millions of good citizens. It is a point
worth considering.
There seems to be something inherent in the mere act
of driving an automobile that makes a man feel that he
is exempt from all, or nearly all, of the common require
ments Of courtesy and human decency. 1t applies to
nearly all Of us. and in the last few years it has pro-
duced a set Of road manners which would seem to justify
the complaint that we are a nation OF barbarians.
Yet We are not. ordinarily. nearly as bad as We seem to

The Bankers View

Few things are quite as interesting just now as an
answer to the question of when good times" will return
to the United States.
Every man who works for a living, together with those
whose prosperity depends on the purchasing power OF the
wage Garner or of the farmer, is interested in the answer.
There can be no definite and sure answer. of course.
Good times. like bad times, do not come overnight. FL
nancial headaches, like other headaches, do not dis
appear in an instant.
But the views Of various classes of persons are inter-
esting and because of the direct relationship between
finance, commerce and industry, the judgment of bank
ers is worth considering.
DR.. julius Klein, assistant secretary of the department
of commerce, thought so and sent out a questlonnaire
to get their views. Two out of three who answered put
the beginning of good times" at october /. The other
third were more cautious. Their estimate was January
/. The bankers who answered were not talking Tor pup
lication or making a studied effort to stimulate pubic
confidence. They were reporting to a branch Of the
government and 1t is to be presumed they were giving
their honest opinions.
There are q number of factors which indicate that the
mass opinion of the bankers may be pretty near correct.
One is the stock market. It led the way down and II
its leadership means anything, business conditions are
about to take a turn for the better. The bears haven't
been having much luck recently and dispatches from
Wall Street note q general feeling that things will be
better after Labor Day.
Another, and perhaps a better, index is the history
of financial depressions in this country. STATISTICS snow
that the United States has had II more or less drastic
recessions during the last 40 years, or approximately one
every presidential administration.
The average time required for business leadership to
gather itself together and start things forward again has
been about 10 months. Department Of commerce figures.
rs disclosed by Dr.. Klein, place the minimum at eight
months after q minor slump in 1927 and the maximum at
Is months after the depression Of 1912.
In good times or bad there are always a large number
Of problems to be worked out and in their solution the
financiers Of the country play q major part. It is a
hopeful sign when the bankers view business prospects
from m optimistic angle.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Lemon Rinse

Question: Mrs. j. asks: IFS It
harmful to use a lemon rinse on a
child's hair? His hair is very light
brown and I would like to keer it So
Answer: Wash the child's hair
with distilled water and then use just
a few drops Of lemon Juice IL the
rinsing water. This counteracts any
alkaline deposits on the hair and
tends to keep 1t its natural color.
Urticaria
Question: Mrs. j. G. B. asks:
What is the cause of an itch that
comes in a red blotch on my eyelids
and on the front of my neck? HAYS
had this frequently within the last
three months. Worse in the morn
ings, as my eyelids are then terribly
swollen. I consulted a doctor. but he
did not tell me the cause, so I am at
a loss to know what to do. A urinal-
ysis showed normal, with the excep-
ton of the specific gravity being low.
What does this mean?"
Answer: You are probably suffer-
ing from a form of urticaria and are
not eliminating enough poisons from
your body. The urinalySis shows this.
Leave starches and sugars out Of your
diet and increase intestinal elimira-
ton through taking one or two enc
mas daily. T
Throbbing in Head
Question: A. M. L. writes: when
walking hurriedly to catch the next
car I have a violent throbbing in the
back Of my head. Does this mean
that some sweet day a blood vessel
will rupture, and out I go?
Answer: You may be suffering
from high blood pressure. and this
can only be ascertained through an
examination by a physician. The
ache in the back of your head may
be cause by prolapsed organs which
are still farther crowded into the pei
Wis when you are running.

fairly well-disposed people. We have a fair amount Of
courtesy, we are not over-forward, we are quite willing
to give the other fellow a break and to refrain from
pushing ourselves to the front too ~batantly.
Put one of us behind the wheel of an automobile how
ever, and what happens? DR.. Jekyll vanishes and Mr..
Hyde comes tearing to the front, grinding his teeth,
clenching his fists and muttering swear words. The
mildest of men is transformed into a ruthless autocrat,
that all other motorists on the highway give
way before him.
Really, it is actually amazing the way our dispositions
change for the worse. We will put on an extra burst of
speed to keep the other fellow from crossing ahead of us.
With an hour in which to make a 15-minute drive we will
jockey for 1O-second advantages as If the fate of the ma
hung on our speed. If some luckless soul stalls his
runs out of gas or encounters a mechanical defect
at least bestow our sympathy on him? Not much-we
yell at him, and toot our horns, and mutter in our boards
as if he were the most fiendish criminal Of the ages.
To list all the ways in which we show our boorjshness
on the highways would take all day. You can doubtless
up your own list-and if you do it carefully and
the chances are you'll be surprised at your
lack of manners. All of us display a surlness and
selfisnness as drivers that we would never dream of
in any other field.
This is more than just a matter for melancholy regret.
Our automobiles are killing more than 10000 people a
year, and a great many of these 10000 would still be alive
it were not for this national habit of selfishness on
the highway. In any safety campaign the restoration
of simple, old-fashioned courtesy must be the first big
step. Until we regain our manners our, death toll will
continue to be a national scandal.
