Probably the queerest literary hobby was a certain London doc tors predilection for reading an old file of the London Times. He said it made him better contented with things at present to see how things were muddled up twenty years ago. He found politicians just as quarrel some and the comments just as cau5tic and yet he concluded; Here we are, much as usual!"

Its real danger lies not in its In tention- for youth can be trusted, but lies in its inexperience. By di- rectness in dealing with It's own problems, already youth has shown its elders some things. It is also coming to see taat fundamental truths lie behind some of the old sanctions.
 The Church may we'll pray for distracted parents and oyer-confi dent children; for teachers in our elemental schools and colleges. upon whose shoulders rest heavy respon- abilities, and for the Church School worker who needs to remember that religion is not only taught, but also caught.
 Scripture reference:
 Tim. 2: 1-16-"Study to show myself approved of God"

Prayer for the Deepening of the
 Consciousness of God

A mechanistic philosophy today does not hesitate to read God out Of His own universe. A prevalent secularism threatens to crush the 4ove Of Christ in the hearts of men.
 Under these conditions an mad equate vision of God can prove but disastrous. Prayer will become for nal and the commandments of God be transgressed without rebuke.
 But the Christian church is not without powerful resources. God E still in his world. He seeks to reveal Himself through the lives oi His children. There is no more potent rebuke for sin than a holy ..fe. Let us lay hold on God.

Prayer for the Youth of the World

Upon untried shoulders, the youth of today is carrying heavy burdens. Many of the former sanctions and restrictions of good society have been removed. Youth finds itself with new liberties and not many an- cient royalties. Leaving the well grooved paths of other generations, youth is cutting crosslots for itself.

Prayer For The Protection
 Of The Home

me basis of the nation and of -.- Cnurch is the family. It's dis ..-.esration would spell disaster to -.ate and the Kingdom of God.
 Une of the enemies of the home IS the growing disregard for the sa- oreuness of marriage vows. The stocking spectacle of some states of our own nation and of foreign -ounlries in commercializing di- sorce must fiji us with dismay.
 10 the home is also committed -Ae responsibility of training of childhood and youth, so that the culture of religion in the home is most vital in the development of character and the salvation of souls.
 Let us pray most fervently that the sanctity of marriage be pre- served and that religion may so pervade the homes of our land that childhood may truly grow up in the nurture and the admonition of the Lord"

man did the "bossing," and now
the working man wants what is
coming to him from the govern
ment, as he earned every dollar
of it protecting the rich mans
interests.
The government could obtain
large per cent of this bonus
money by cutting salaries of Off
Gals and politicians and dispos-
ing of men drawing big salaries
off the government and not do
ing a thing to earn it. Working
men have been cut from % to Is
per cent, but I have not read
where any government official has
taken any cuts. They do not even
know the depression is on. Let
them collect their foreign debts
and they will have plenty Of
money on hand to meet their OBJ
legations, or abolish prohibition
and save the millions they are
spending annually to enforce it,
which can never be done.
The members listed on the tele-
gram from the American Legion
post in New York are men who
would starve to death on a salary
of SIS a month, but they are
against the bonus simply because
they do not need it and are afraid
it might cost them a dollar.
The soldiers risked their lives
and worked twenty-four hours a
day for a dollar a day, while the
men at home we're making $40 a
day and taking life easy, so why
not let the ex-service men have
their share of those wartime
profits now?

Just

which he empties his walls Of cal
jimmy and detraction upon the
heads Of the men who offered
their lives during 1917 and 1918
that this nation and free gov
eminent throughout the world
might live.
Now that the danger seems
for the moment passed, and the
mission of these men successful,
they are denounced for asking the
government to pay them the adj
justed compensation now, when it
would be a life saver to many of
them in this crucial hour of our
history. It should be remembered
that men who worked in the
shipyards and other industries did
not need any adjustment, as they
were paid up to $18 day, and,
as Will Rogers said, Mailed IN
ShipyardS in silk Shirts
The railroads, after close Of the
war, demanded and received their
adjusted compensation cash on
the barrel head. Some of the Eu-
ropean nations came to our treas
ury and got sufficient funds to
pay their soldiers adjusted COM
penSation shortly after they
ceased fighting, and recently the
House Of Morgan made a raid
on the finance corporation and
un1oaded some bad loans that the
Missouri Pacific railroad owed
them. Why don't Mr.. Powell use
the Morgan raid for his next
theme?
We understand why he won't.
We know that all the predatory
interests in this country are
against us, and we believe that
when the people understand it
"they will love us for the enc
mics we have made"I

folds of my toga-which shall I
shake out for you?" The Car
thaginans replied: WAR" and
were swept from the earth.
Despite all the efforts of the
predatory interests, our cause is
just and will become law. If
this congress does not take action
a new bunch of faces will be in
Washington at the next session
and will pass it quickly.

Lawyer
Hit for
Stand

JULIUS S1B41SOs
A Lawyer. In most cases that
readily should explain the con-
tents.
In my opinion, if this country
had just about Is per cent more
lawyers, it would be broke with
out the aid of anything else. It
is my opinion that all that is
making him peeved is that some
body else besides him and the
other members of his profession
have something coming from the
government.
The, body of men that admit
ted and passed law to the eff
feet that the government owed
the soldiers that bonus were most
ly lawyers, and I think they were
lot higher in the profession
than the one I am speaking of.
If he is trying to get on the
right side of the big money by
putting articles like this in the
paper, he would better quit, as
I don't think it will net him much
profit.
Most of the communities are
talking about racketeering. Well,
the sooner they get after the law
yers and their friends, the sooner
they will have no more rackets.
You will find behind any scheme
that amounts to anything a law

sentative Patman Of Texas, and
do not let the higher-upS in the
American Legion stop the bill that
will pay you the bonus. It is not
beer that we want. It is money

On April 8 read what the
American Legion officers and
wearers of the D. S. G. had to say
against the bonus. These men
have good jobs or have parents to
finance their means through life.
Do not let such men as these
stop you from getting what is
coming to you-your bonus. If
the President should die, Mrs.
Hoover would be after her $1,000
a year, and there would be no OBJ
jections II she would get the
money.
Furthermore, ths American Le-
gion never has thought how many
ex-service men are staying in the
soldiers homes throughout the
United States because they have
no financial means to keep them
outside the homes. These men
would leave the homes as soon as
they received their bonus.
It is true that some men will
blow their money In and have
nothing to show for it, but ninety
nine out Of 100 will put it to good
use. There are just as many

About All
This?

Nbl dl6AAb y " ~ ~
American Legion, is protesting
further raiding of the treasury by
the veterans.
We wonder why that post,
composed of men with such dis
tinguished war records, did not
protest a cancellation of war
debts to Europe, the moratoriums
to our former enemies which is
costing the treasury billions of
dollars. Why does not that crop
of $4,000 millionaires which the
ex-soldier made possible do some
of the squawking about the vet
cram relief?
We wonder how much of the
treasury deficit was caused by
those wooden and concrete ships,
Ford'S submarine chasers, rail-
road administration, Liberty
motors. etc. Who paid for Mr..
Hoover'S food administration to
the Belgians, relief to the near
and far east? How about those
annexations and indemnities?
Who paid for the war chest fund,
and those myriads of monuments?
About widows: The American
soldiers widow got, while he was
in the trenches, SIS a month. The
Australian soldier in war received
SAT a month and his dependent
at home received $50 a month.
Why try to stagger the ex-sol-
der and the taxpayer with a
S3,000,000, 900 deficit? They don't
know how much a billion dollars
is. Why not have our greatest of
all treasury heads, Andrew Mel
lon explain to them how much is
a billion dollars?
Talcott Powell should not be
squawking about a budget, giving
figures, etc. He sounds like one
of those curbstone patriots who
waved the flag while the boys
marched away to make the world
safe for democracy, or some one
at the head of a Y. M. G. A. or
charity drive.
If Talcott Powell knows so
much about ablebodied veterans
raiding the treasury, Syphilitic
soldiers and doughboys, why does
he lot bring the fact before legal
authorities and have the rogues
fined or imprisoned?
We think his object is to try
to stagger the veterans into can
ceiling their bonus, so that lot
of New York bankers can eat it
before 1945. Why not ask some
of the Millionaire dollar war
prodteerS to cancel their war
bonus certificates? What about
the millions refunded to corpora
tons that had overpaid their in
come tax, and Andrew Mellon,
who had overpaid his own and
refunded the money overpaid with
6 per cent interest for time of
overpayment, and refunded to
himself overpaymentS?
I wonder If Mr.. Powell has any
figures regarding these things
We wonder how much is spent
for relief banquets preceding
charity drives. etc? Does Mr..
Powell expect these disabled vet
Grams to go to a poorhouse or sell
apples on the street corners?
What became of the third Lib
erty loan which was for the boys?
Anyway, we know that figures
never lie, but liars can figure.
