SEQUEL to the Battle of the Bonus.

President Hoover's trip TO Detroit
last year to address the American Le-
gion is generally credited with having
supplied the force that prevented the
Legion at that time from indorsing the
immediate. cash payment Of the bonus
This year the administration will be
represented at the Portland convention
OF the Legion by Secretary of War Hur-
ley. His mission may be to help stem
the rising tide of sentiment, reflected
in the action Of many State conventions,
in favor Of the bonus payment resolu-
ton. If it will do any good, the Secre-
tary will fight.
But a more delicate situation, though
of less Importance, promises to be Gre
ated by resolutions almost certainly to
be placed before the Legion criticizing
the manner of evicting the bonus
marchers from Washington. Secretary
Pat Is a first-class fighting man and
one of the administrations best. He
feels strongly on the bonus eviction
land supplied with additional ammuni-
ton with which to blast the admins
tration's critics. Portland happens to
be the home of Walter w. Waters, late
commander in chief of the disintegrated
B. E. F.. Mr.. Waters is not strong on
forensics, and, unhappily, his oratory
on the day of the riot was not particu-
larly moving But he represents the
other side, and should he and Secretary
Hurley both be invited to present their
versions and views the Legion would
stage show as colorful as its parade.
Cool heads in the Legion do not relish
the prospect of fighting the battle Of
the bonus all over again. The Legion
might find itself in the unhappy posi-
ton Of condoning a threat to law and
order out Of sympathy for the unfor-
tunate plight of those who brought
about that threat. For the Legion that
position, Of course, would be untenabie.

classes as we'll as for the laboring
masses Of the country. In any case it
is well to be mindful of the value of ex-
perience. It is clear that graduating
from a university does not necessarily
guarantee prosperity.
The philosopher Spinoza was the best
educated man Of his generation in all
Europe. and he was proud to earn his
daily bread polishing lenses. John
Bunyan provided for his family, while
he himself lay state prisoner in jail,
by making countless hundreds of shoe
laces. Charles Lamb was clerk at
India House. John Milton served as
Latin secretary to Cromwell. The
painter Millet designed covers for sheet
music. George Bernard Shaw wrote
advertising copy for firm of druggists.
The youth Of America today must be
willing to make the same compromises
with circumstance. Success will not
come to the educated classes simply be-
cause they are educated. The grand
scrimmage to get into college should be
restrained. 1t creates, rather than
solves, difficulty.

Rim Tin Tin. The dog drew such large
audiences that he was credited with
saving the film company. He was as
well known as any OF the human stars
OF the cinema, and he accomplished
more than many Of them" As to his
characteristics, the Boston Evening
Transcript declares: Rim Tin Tin was
a wonderful dog, of marvellous adapt
ability, docility and cleverness. His
feats were justly celebrated, and he
taught many thousands of humans the
moral excellence, so to speak, of mans
great friend and servitor, the dog. He
was an inspiration to humanity. He
deserved to live in ease and honor. He
claimed no other share of the fortune
he earned than his masters love and
confidence, and these he no doubt en-
ioyed." Remarking, IA years old-and

Death of Rim Tin Tin Called
Passing of a Real Character

The death Of many a well known man
or woman has attracted less attention
from the world at large than has the
passing OF Rim Tin Tin, famous dog of
the movies, who lived to the good old
age: for a dog, Of IA years and then
walked off the stage forever. Both old
and Young will miss him.
The news Of Rim Tin Tins death

than one youngster who has sat SPELL
bound watching the wonder dogs mi
raculous feats of bravery in countlers
melodramas, says the Boise Idaho
Statesman. as 1t declares that "intsn-
gible though it may have been, the in
fiuence which this dog actor exerted
upon the character Of children who
idolized him is not to be treated
lightly"
The story of how Rim Tin Tin came
to America is as romantic as the life he
lived here. 1t Is told by the Cleveland
News; He was one of litter Of five
1oundllngs abandoned in France by the
retreating German Army. Lee Duncan,
an A. z. F. lieutenant, took him for
mascot. He pulled him out OF the mire
Of the battlefield and up to the heights
OF stardom in Hollywood. 1t was
dogs life in France, but in America
Rim Tin Tin travelled in Pullman cars,
ate carefully cooked foods and shared
his masters house" And this paper
declares that Rim Tin Tin deserved the
kind OF life that Duncan opened for
him in movieland. For he was a good
actor and he portrayed an ANIMALS no
bility. He battled the human vulture
that tried to steal a baby; he saved a
beautiful girl from drowning: he fought
off the wolves that wanted to eat
handsome adventurer in the Far North.
Always Rim Tin Tin took the role of
mans best friend"

Referring to the dogs length OF serv-
Ice before the camera, the Providence
Journal notes that he appeared upon
the screen long before the advent OF
sound pictures and soon became rated
as star. His popularity has remained
strong while many human actors have
been forgotten. He has even appeared
this journal recalls, as 1t states that "it
is estimated that his total earnings
have reached s300.000" Holding that
Studio officials will find 1t difacult to
choose a successor to him, although his
son is to be trained to take his place"
the Journal remarks: Whether the
younger dog will prove successful in
attracting people to the theater remains
to be seen. Too often the children of
prominent parents fail to emerge from
obscurity, and the son of Rim Ta Tin
may prove to be no exception"
One OF the important contributions
Of the dog to the movie world Is re-
called by the Jersey City Journal when
it says: "One of the greatest produc-
ing companies in the world was in a

Education, Opportunity, Success.

When depressions occur, 1t is the edu-
Gated professional classes which espe-
cially feel the pinch. T. Swami Hard
ing, in Current History" has called at
tention to the fact that literally thou
sands of men and women with university
training have been out of work. He
describes the plight of the young people
emerging from college in 1882:
In one engineering school alone, of
eighty graduates, only four have found
employment. The rest continue studying
at the school. Students are faced with
the dilemma Of accepting employment
in lines for which they are unprepared
or Of going from college to the bread
line. Trained workers do
not receive high salaries merely be-
cause they are educated and trained;
IN profit economy, salaries come TO
them only because there is a scarcity
of educated and trained workers. 1t is
necessary to relate supply and demand
in this sphere of human activities, If
salaries in the learned professions are
TO be raised. For the future Of science
it is also more important that the sup
ply OF workers be limited strictly TO
those who can be placed at adequate
salaries than 1t is to train or partially
train legions OF incompetents TO go forth
and depress the market.
The brutal truth appears TO be that
the American people have prepared
too many ambitious young men and
women for the loftier positions in the
professions and the more important
crafts. Every city, 1t is said, has hun
dreds Of lawyers without clients, physi-
clans without patients, teachers without
schools, musicians and painters with

Write It on the Ballot. y

A report has reached the Democratic
campaign headquarters in New YORK
to the effect that there are now In
circulation in at least three or 1our
Middle Western States cards reading
as follows: Write it on the ballot IN
November-Alfred E. Smith for Presi-
dent of the United States, the great
American leader" This has naturally
given some concern to the manage
ment of the Roosevelt campaign, even
though the plan to vote for an un-
nominated person is absolutely futile
so far as the possibility Of electing him
to the presidency is concerned. 1t sig
nifies that somebody, somewhere, Is
out for Roosevelt's scalp, in the name
of the former standard bearer OF the
Democracy, and the question which now
agitates the managers Of his campaign
is whether this is merely a case OF
''Tooley street tailors" or is symptom
of a widespread disposition to knife the
regular ticket in November.
Just now one of the chief concerns
of the Democratic management Is the
attitude of Mr. Smith, whose sole con-
tribution to the cause is the statement
that he will support the party" Speaker
Garner the other day tried to draw him
out to the point of promising to say
something for the candidates, but with
out immediate success. Some OF the
former Governors friends now say tnat
