They grew in beauty side by side
They filled one home with glee:
Their graves are severed far and
wide
By mount and stream and sea.
The same fond mother bent at night
Der each fair sleeping brow;
She had each folded flower in sight,
Where are these dreamers now?
One midst the flowers of the west,
By dark stream is laid,
The Indian knows his place of rest,
Far in the cedar shade.
The sea, the blue sea, hath one
He lies where pearls lie deep:
He was the loved of all. yet none
Ger his low bed may weep.

NEW YORK, May 23.--I saw what

max Of a street riot on Seventh
avenue in the SOS last evening. II

toe slugging, I've seen since Gin

I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Two hatless and we'll proper
toned young men arrived at a

Tenders. There were a few snarling
epithets exchanged, then a long
wordy wrangle and the two stepped
from their cars, removed their
coats and shadow boxed a bit.
Finally one put over a healthy
punch and closed in. They rained
blow after blow on each other until
each face was puffed and CORY.
Then they rested a moment and
without a word sprang into action.
An enormous crowd blocked the
street and police had difficulty
breaking through.
When they did the battle had
become so ferocious they had to
use their clubs. Soon the sirening
riot cars roared up. An entire block
was impossible. The belligerentS,
who had been rather spiffily dress

INSULTING THE PRESIDENT


Two articles in one day on the Presi-
dent may be OVERRIDING it, but an incident
recorded at the capital yesterday follow
ing Mr.. Roosevelt's appearance before
congress to veto the bonus bill, seems
worthy of comment.
Enroute to the White House after de-
hVering his message, the President of the
United States was "booed' by a group
on a street corner.
Of course nothing could be done or can
be done to hammer d little politeness and
respect into such persons and anyone
would be foolish to try it. But the in
cident emphasizes the terrific abuse and
disrespect which many Americans who
ought to know better accord to the man
who occupies the highest office in the
land
The United States of America has ney-
er had bad President, one of whom it
need be ashamed before the rest of the
world. 1t has had incompetent men in
that high office and it has had men who
made grave mistakes, but not one in the
entire list who was wilfully and wanton-
ly bad or whom his fellow-citizens could
not respect, even if they did not agree
with him.
Yet each President, from Washington
down, has been subjected to the VlleSt
kind of abuse from those he seeks to
serve. Il would rather be in my grave
than in the Presidency was the cry
wrung from the tortured soul Of the
Father of His Country, as those to whom
he had given life of service, abused him.
Madison, Jackson, Lincoln, Grant Will
son, Hoover and Mr.. Roosevelt, all have
been targets for downright abuse in
speech and print. Men who differ with
them in politics and in matters of state
seem incapable of keeping the difference
confined to permissible limits but must
expand it into personalities.
Mr. Roosevelt answered yesterdays
insult with smile and a wave Of the
hand, the only way in which a man bear
ing the dignity of such high office
could recognize it. But it must have hurt
him just the same.
We teach our children to show the deep
est respect for the flag of their country
which is right and proper. They should
also be impressed with the fact that the
man who holds the office of President of
the United States is entitled to the same
consideration and respect accorded the
flag If this is done, perhaps future gen.
erations may accord future Presidents
their due. AS it seems practically I'M
possible for the older generations to learn
the lesson we shall undoubtedly contln-
ue to have such exhibitions as yesterdays
disgraceful one, and Tom, Dick and Har
ry will continue to revile and abuse-the
President of the United States Of Amer
lea.

Block Tax On
Chair, Stores

SACRAMENTO, May % UP)- A
proposal to tax chain stores on a
sliding scale ranging from 81 for
the first store to $500 for the 10th
and each above 10 was blocked
again today after the senate reve-
nue. and taxation committee refused
to give the bill favorable recon-
mendation.
Committee members voted Z to 5
against sending the measure to the
floor with a do pass recommended
ton. and to on a motion to table
it. AS a result, the bill remained
gn file in committee.
The measure was expected to die
IN committee unless proponents
could muster enough strength to
beat it onto the floor for final con-
sideration. 1t was approved by the
assembly recently.

THE BONUS VETO

lhe vote of a few senators TODAY will
decide whether the Patman bill is to be-
come law or be rejected as advised yes
terday by the President of the United
States. o''''e'
Immediately following receipt of that
advice the house Of REPRESENTATIVES flo
uratively thumbed its nose at the chief
executive and passed the Patman bill ov-
er his veto. Now it is up to the senate.
which voted 55 to 33 two weeks ago in
favor OF the bill, four votes short of the
tWo-tnlrds necessary to override a veto.
Mr.. Roosevelt will not get it from
large number of his fellow-citizens. but
he is entitled to the fullest and deepest
respect for the sincerity and the courage
he displayed in yesterdays veto message.
and this is written with no change in
the belief that he acted improperly in
ignoring the fact that he was ADDRESSING
JOINT session Of congress, and not as
ne claimed, the house Of representatives
His declaration that the able-bodied
veteran has no more claim on the coun-
try than any other able-bodied citizen
will meet the approval of the very few
who concede that defense of ones coun-
try is an honor as we'll as duty. 1t will
meet with the condemnation of that class
of veteran who believes .'the country
owes me something and with even
worse than condemnation from the poll
ticians who are using the veterans and
the soldiers bonus for their own purpose
the privilege of remaining in office.
In flatly refusing to approve of print
ing press money" and to concede that
there is any right in special group
under this government. the President lost
himself considerable political support,
and must be credited with putting politi-
cal prestige in the background and meet
ing the issue solely on what he believes
to be the greatest good for all the peo-
pie of the nation. 1t is claimed that the
Presidents opposition to paper money
is not consistent with his acknowledged
'1inflationary" course on financial mat
tiers during the past two years, and there
is merit In the claim, as there is in the
assertion that money is dished out to eV-
cry other class and why not to the vet
eran. In this latter connection however
those making the assertion overlook the
fact that the government is not really
denying money to the veteran but wants
him to abide by his 1924 agreement with
the government for payment of the ad-
|justed compensation certificates IN l942.
We can find much to criticize IN the
Roosevelt administration, but we flatter
Yourselves that we have a deeper appre-
|ciation of the honesty, courage and sim
|cerity of the President personally, than
have larger number of those enrolled
lin the political party which he heads,
and if the reader doubts the statement,
let him watch the Hearst papers for
their comment on the bonus veto.
If the senate can administer a few
more paddlings to the "kingfish,' there
lis hope that eventually he may be elimi-
mated from congress.

ed out that if all the proposed wit
