Even in Nicaragua, Abraham
Lincoln's assertion that pub
lie sentiment is everything" ap-
pears to apply.
A Managua dispatch declares
that public sentiment there and
elsewhere throughout Mica
ragua approves the action Of
those officers and men of the
Guardia Macdonald who dis
posed Of SANDING and five OF
his fellow outlaws by turning
them over to firing squad
which executed them summar-
lily.
In the files of the Depart
men of State and of the Navy
Department are the bitter rec"
ords OF the cowardice and the
cruelty with which SANDING and
his outlaw band Waged guer-
rilla warfare against loyal Mic
araguans and the brave Amer
leans sent to assist them.
Revolving Details
And some of these records
reveal the revolving details OF
the mutilation of the bodies Of
both Nicaraguan and American
dead, whom SANDING and his
outlaws killed from ambush.
Had President Coolidge re-
manned in the White House
another year, SANDING and his
less than 300 outlaws would
have been rounded up by Mica
raguan and American armed
forces and made to pay the
penalty for their crime.
Mr.. Coolidge never concealed
his contempt for Americans in
Congress-and some OF them
are still there-who actually en-
couraged SANDING in his atroci-
GUS crimes against the people
of his own country and against
the armed forces Of the United
States by broadcasting to the
world indefensible attacks upon
our own Defenders with the
Colors and expatiated publicly
upon the alleged exploits OF
General" SANDING.
General Moncado, afterwards
president of Nicaragua, in whose
army SANDING served for
time, professed the utmost con-
tempt for the bandit, who broke
his word of honor to turn in
his arms when the revolution
ended.
Shortly before his Inaugural
ton as president, and after a
visit to the United States, Gen
eral Moncado, in an interview
never before published, said:
During my stay in New
York, 1 found out who was aid
ing SANDING, encouraging his
work, and procuring for him
arms and sympathy. The steady
communication with the bandit
chief was by way of Honduras.

THIS FAULT CONSISTS OF THE FACT THAT
NO ATTEMPT IS MADE IN GATHERING THE
COST OF LIVING FIGURES TO OBTAIN FIGURES
FOR THE PERIOD FOR WHICH SALARIES ARE
FIXED.
The Government salaries now being paid under the
cost of living theory fixed without regard to the
cost of living of the present time THEY ARE FIXED
ON FIGURES FOR SIX MONTHS AGO.
Even those figures had been accurate and fair for
the period for which they gathered they would
obviously not necessarily be applicable to the present
THERE IS NO WAY THAT COST OF LIVING
INDEX CAN BE MADE APPLICABLE TO THE
COST OF LIVING FOR THE PERIOD FOR WHICH
SALARIES ARE FIXED.
Everyone knows that prices right now are tremen.
dously higher than they were six months ago. YET,
THE "COST OF LIVING SALARIES" NOW IN Eff
Feet ARE BASED UPON THOSE PRICES OF SIX
MONTHS AGO.
IT IS TIME FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO WITH
DRAW FROM THIS UNJUST AND IMPRAC.
TICABLE METHOD OF FIXING ITS SALARIES.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1934-02-26

Probably the most important result which would fol-
low the final enactment of the McCarran amendment to
The Independent offices appropriation bill would be the
ELIMINATION OF THE COST OF LIVING THE
DRY FROM THE FIXING OF GOVERNMENT
SALARIES.
This theory, written into the act to maintain the
credit of the United States" perncous in it's ncep
tion and is disastrous in practice.
IT HAS DONE AS MUCH HARM AS THE
ACTUAL LOSS OF MONEY TO employees
THROUGH THE PAY CUT.
The cost of living theory as embodied in the law
keeps the working in perpetual doubt as to his
income It makes it impossible for him to judge what
are prudent expenditures and what not It makes
It impossible for him to maintain balanced domestic
budget for he does not know at any time what his
income will be in any future time.
NEITHER THE GOVERNMENT NOR ANY PR
VATE AGENCY IS NOW OR EVER HAS BEEN
CAPABLE OF DETERMINING WHAT IS THE
COST OF LIVING AT THE PRESENT TIME OR
WHAT THE COST OF LIVING HAS BEEN AT ANY
GIVEN TIME IN THE PAST.

The Human Side of the News
Army Ideals Are Born at West Point
By EdWin C.. Hill

The bugles ring out on the
West Point plateau. Twelve
hundred and fifty picked lads
Of the nation swing into march
ing line, file on file, company
BY company. Shutdown comes,
the sunset gun lets go, the Old
Flag drops down through the
trees and the Cadet Corps
swings into its magnificent
parade, honoring the Stars and
Stripes.
But it is not Of the thrill and
drama Of that sweeping march
that I'm thinking tonight, as
I read Of the grand work the
United States Army has done
in making the Presidents Cit
liens Conservation Camps a
marvellous success. With SYM
pathy and understanding the
commissioned officers
and wise old noncoms-has
taken hold Of the Presidents
great purpose and has guided
hundreds Of thousands of raw
lads from city and country into
better health, better ideals, .
better grip on life.
Rigid Discipline
Perhaps we forget, sometimes,
that the United States Army is
. great peacetime force for
good, as well as the basis of
our protection in war. And the
ideals which sway the Army are
born up on that high, green
plateau above the Hudson,
where they have been turning
out officers and gentlemen in
tho finest sense of the word
for more than a century and a
quarter.
No one not entirely familiar
with West Point life and the
spirit Of the Military Academy
can quite understand the spirit
Of democracy which pervades
the whole institution. Disci-
pline, yes-the hardest, most
rigid kind of discipline. But
democracy and a free people
need discipline above all things.
There is no Swank at West
Point. The cadets deSpise show
off, hate pretense.
Not long ago a Queen visited
the United States with her
young daughter, a very attrac-
tive girl, now married to Euro
pean royalty. The Queen took a
fancy to one of the cadets as a
dancing companion for the prin-
cess and invited the lad to New
York city for luncheon. But
that was against practice and
regulations, and the superin-
tendent refused permission.
The Queen asked if she might
60 to West Point with her
daughter and have luncheon
with the cadet at the reServa-
ton hotel. There was nothing
against that, so the royal visit
orS appeared and the luncheon
was had.
The next day the Raging Of
the favored youth began. Whole
classes, seeing him approach,
produced Turkish bath towels
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1934-02-26

and spread them at his feet
the royal carpet, of course.
And then whole classes bowed
low, in exaggerated humility.
But they let up after a while.
West Point detests favoritism,
as it detests slackneSs, idleness,
useless noise, bad manners, ex"
travagance and SelfiShnesS. And
they are death on Swell-heads.
One boy came to West Point
with a great reputation as an
athlete. He brought along a
hometown paper with his pic
ture and a long story about his
proWeSs, and what hit he
was sure to be on the West
Point football field. Well, the
upper classmen cut the picture
out of the paper. pasted it in
the crown of the young mans
cap, made him learn the piece
by heart, and whenever they
came across the chastened
youth they made him stand
and stare at his own picture
while he recited the whole
blurb from the hometown
paper. The cure was complete.
It is in the beautiful chapel
at West Point that one dis
covers the secret of the place.
Within the great stone house
of worship, shaped like a cross
and bearing over it's doorway a
great sword carved in stone
King Arthur'S Excalibur-you
may read, by the soft and
beautiful light falling through
the stained glass windows, the
prayer of the Cadet Corps, the
prayer by which 1900 young
American lads live their daily
life and form their character
and prepare to face the world.
A Whole Religion
It begins, of course, with an
invocation to God, and then:
Strengthen and increase our
admiration for honest dealing
and clean thinking, and suffer
not our hatred of hypocrisy and
pretense ever to diminish.
Encourage us in our endeavor
to live above the common level
of life.
. MAKE us to choose the
harder right, instead of the
easier wrong, and never to be
content with a half-truth,
when the whole can be won.
"Endow us with courage that
is born of loyalty to all that is
noble and worthy, that scorns
to compromise with vice and in
justice, and knows no fear
when truth and right are in
jeopardy"
There's more of it, no
need to repeat it all. For there's
a whole religion in the few lines,
and there's lot of it those
young men take out into life.
1t is not the buildings of stone,
or its stored relics, that make
West Point. It's the spirit
which dominates 1.-THE spirit
of democracy, square dealing,
honor and patriotism m, and
along with these, willingness to
work and to endure.

SEPTEMBER WINDUP

Chicago Sept. 28.-(P)-With dis
position shown to 60 slow pending
windup Of September contracts wheat
values Friday averaged lower.
Uncertainty as to the contents of
President Roosevelt's speech Sunday

About Z cent a bushel setback was
soon witnessed both In wheat and in
corn. No particular desire to sell
either wheat or corn was in evidence,
and the markets largely gave way
o: their own weight with many trad
ers still hoping for some buying in
centtve from President Roosevelt's
Sunday talk, but seemingly uniln-
pressed regarding overnight Develop
ments at Washington. Fresh down.
turns Of wheat quotations at Buenos
Aires. and pronounced weakness In
the rye market here. served as an
additional drag on all grain values.
