Young Stribling is gone. Better that,
perhaps, than to go through life handi-

tests in which he failed to click"

ness, over-anXiety, or a dozen other
things, but it was not cowardice. Cow
ards never get into the ring at all.
Stribling showed his grit and his abil-
ity to take it on the chin Immediately

ROOSEVELT AND LEGION

President Roosevelt's talk to the
American Legion convention at Chicago
yesterday appears to have clarified the
air considerably.
This does not mean that the disagree
ment between veterans and the govern
ment is over, but the points on which
they differ appear to have been definite
ly defined
Perhaps that should be changed to 1.-The
point" for Commander Johnson of the
Legion is quoted as saying he accepts
the program as outlined by the Presi-
dent except on one phase.
The President declared that a veteran
requiring capitalization, is not entitled
to it at government expense, if his in
jury or illness is not result of his war
service. He is to be considered no diff
ferent than any other citizen the Presi-
dent stated. Commander Johnson is
quoted as holding that the veteran, be-
cause of his war service, should receive
such disqualification as is necessary, at
government expense, regardless of the
origin of his illness or injury.
President Roosevelt conceded that if
the veterans state or community is un-
able to take care of him, then it becomes
the duty of the government to do so.
There are many in the Legion, includ-
ing some at yesterdays convention, who
agree with the President. There are
many others who will hold to the view
point of their commander Neither side
should be condemned or criticized for
holding to their beliefs, for they are hon.
est beliefs. The difference in viewpoints
can be adjusted - of that the American
people may be sure.
The patriotism, sincerity, and loyalty
of the Legion is unquestionable. The
same holds true of the President They
differ in opinion, but the attitude of the
President in addressing the veterans yes
terday, and the attitude of the veterans
in listening to him, showed mutual re-
spect and admiration that is firm foun-
dation for adjustment of their differ
ences.
President Roosevelt strongly asserted
that service in time of war always ex-
cepting the veteran who was wounded or
incapacitated) does not entitle a man to
any special consideration. Particularly
did he stress this as applied to the nom
combatant. He is fundamentally right
on that, and the sooner all eX-Servicemen
accept that viewpoint the sooner will
they be able to get that which they
should desire most of all-adequate care
and compensation for the disabled vet
eran.
1t is appalling to think of the number
of 'grandmothers" who met death today
in New York City.
The Legion may not agree, but like all
sincere persons it can understand
straight-from-the-sh talk, and it
got it yesterday.

Another one evidently wants no

"It is to be hoped that the good
judgment of our worthy board of
commissioners will not allow the
vets to stampede them into a spec
ial election on the beer question.
Beer is too costly a proposition in
normal times, but when every possible
cent obtainable is needed for bread,
it seems foolish to bring in beer
which always makes paupers and
drunkards out Of consumers.
"Worse than the economic depres-
sion will be the moral depression
brought about because of placing
king alcohol on the throne in our
midst"
