war, veteran. Why should a man who never saw service get. a pen- sion? Because they need the money. Do they Let us take few figures and see if these patriots" are as noble as they claim, not for getting that anything they get must be at the expense of others worse off than they are. This does not apply to the disabled--nothing is too good for them. But let us see what Donald A. Hobard, National Commander of the American Vet erans' Association, has to say about 1t. He quotes in an ad in Printers Ink, by American Legion Month ly, which says the Legionnaire has double the income of the average, that 94 per cent of Legionnaires are insured to an. amount of $12,- 050, and S4 per cent own auto- mobiles. .7F
 And note this: if it does not cause you to marvel at the .rapacity of the so-calied veterans, you are beyond reasoning: Payment of s2, 1000, ,000, ,0O0 to 3 per cent of the population without regard to need or disability, is absolutely unjustifi- able at a time when 22,000,000 are depending on some kind of public relief" If present conditions con- tinue, getting worse all the time, we can figure on 40,000,000 on some kind of relief. A third of the population! Ten times as many as would benefit from the so-called veterans bonus. So the cost would be at least $20,000;O00,000 a year on the same basis. Where it is coni- ing from ]? Who cares? Not the peo- pie who do not think, because they have nothing to think with. Town send plans, farm relief, destroying food to buy 1t abroad, and s2,- 0O0, 100000 for "veterans' most of whom never fired a shot. As a class these men are better fixed than the average, but being patrl- ots (prcsent-day deflnition) they want to capitalize their efficient lobby.

Washington, May 1.-Two or three senators are still shaking a bit as a result of Huey Longs new evidence regarding Jim Far ley's alleged favoritism on the the new New York post office building. Reason was that the Kingfish kept in his desk some highly damaging reports of evil dence on his own colleagues. His documents showed that one sen ator had intervened at the Treasury after the building con- tract was practically let; also, that another senator received a payment of $4,00O for insurance in connection with the building. Incidentally, the senator involved did not live in the state where the post office was being built. On the day following Huey Longs diatribe against Farley, Senator Barkley of Kentucky rose to request the president for order. Long was holding forth again. Barkley said: Tt is so seldom that we hear the sena- tor from Louisiana that do not wish the noise to, prevent me from missing anything" Coal Strike
 Administration leaders private- ly are much worried over the threatening situation in the bi- luminous coal industry. The truce patched up several months ago between the operators and the United Mine Workers ex- pires on June IS, but the two groups still are as far apart as when they began negotiating. The miners are seeking an increase in pay, which the owners say they cannot afford. Cause of uneasiness in government quar- ters is stocky John l.. Lewis, head of the miners, who is say ing openly that his men are ready to take to the picket lines to enforce their demands. Lewis is not given to idle threats :.

Unemployed Cannon Fodder

A dispatch from Berlin on April 20 reported that Germany had 500,00O. men already in uniform. It added this signifi- cant statement: Hast week receivers of the dole were told that charity no longer could be given to unemployed men under 25. They were told that other provisions were being made for them. Presumably this will mean military training" It con- firms g. suspicion that the re-armament of Germany is partly plan for unemploy- ment relief. The same procedure may account to some extent for the large num- Der of men now under arms in other European countries.
 It is hard to believe, though, that Hitler is drafting his idle young men primarily as relief measure. He may be taking advantage of their plight to create an army for military conquest. If he is really doing that, or if his neighbors become convinced that he is, war will come soon, because the alarmed Allies will want to "get the jump on Germany this time. That would probably be a greater catas- trophe for Germany than the last war. It can be prevented only by Hitler, through word and deed, convincing his neighbors that he really wants peace.

We were glad to note that Waterbury legislators were among those going on record as opposed to the bill that makes prospective married couples procure cer- tificates of good health before obtaining their licenses to marry from the Town Clerk While this may be necessary in some cases, it certainly is not in every one and we doubt very much the need of mak ing it compulsory, let alone the good taste involved in such matter. The effect will be to frighten couples away from this state to adjacent ones where they may obtain licenses to wed without showing the obligatory health approval. We should have liked to have seen the Legis- lature go bit deeper into this question than it actually did. The figures showing that such a law would reduce the need for such institutions as homes for feeble minded needs more than mere say-so of legislator.

EASY TO WRITE THINGS, BUT NOT so EASYTO PROVE
 THEM

Plainville, Conn. May 24, 1885.
 Editor of The Democrat:
 To an ordinary individual, such
 as myself, there is something puzzling in the fact that persons will write stuff that is so easily dis proved. MT Stoehr in The New | York Times says my heart was | bleeding because we did not de-
 clare war on Germany, but I as-
 sume his heart did not bleed for
 the 1,200 innocent people murder ed on the Lusitania. He refers to
 an alleged statement that when
 i've helped the Allies win the war;" indicating that we went into this for their sake, not our own. MT Wilson was more than a little pro- | German before this, and, after, it interferred with the peace negotia- tions so that Germany practically
 escaped any penalty for the blood shed and misery caused by her senseless greed. To suppose Mir Wilson let us get into this trouble
 to help anyone is absurd. He knew
 what would happen to us if Ger
 many came out on top.
 Then he goes off at a tangent to talk about borrowing millions by Dawes bank, and adds: If you would concern yourself with these things honestly believe the bud get would be balanced" Possibly should be grateful for the com pliment, but there is little chance
 of the budget being balanced while the present orgy of spending con- tinues. fNN Then he says I lambast the vet erans. Since when has q fellow
 who spent q few weeks or months
 in training camp been a veteran l? Standard dictionary defines . sole dlcr as ''looHcly an aged soldier. . Certainly there is no authority for
 calling q soldier who has sccn loss than two years service, even in

 MOrgan-Muniti0ns
 Munitions probing Senators Nye of North Dakota and Clark of Missouri hope to build up public support by a speaking campaign for their three-point neutrality legislation. First ap- pearance will be in New York next Monday at Carnegie hall. .. Though the committees in- vestigators are hot on the trail of story about J. P. Morgan and his tie-up with British war propaganda, the munitions com mittee will not open hearings on the subject until fall. The already crowded democratic side of the senate floor has been made more crowded by the ad- dition of Senator Chavez, demo- < crat of New Mexico, named stin- place of the late Seantor Cut ting, republican. The cham Der has presented Iop-sided ap-' pearance this session, with 69 desks on one. side and only 27 on the other. Now the score will be 70 to 26. No desk has been moved as yet,l but Chavez has been put at the desk of Rush Holt, youthful West Vir- ginia senator who is not prop erly entitled to his seat until his thirtieth birthday next month.

Selected Poem
SITTING ROOM IN A BoWERY HOTEL.
 (NOctrune.)

(Elias Lieberman in The New York Tmes.) Pain Is rat that gnaws away the heart;
 It nibbles nerves and leaves vacuum, Until the breast no longer feels dart,
 Until the near longer hears a drum. And the forms that slump in wooden chairs Are proof against the stirring things they read By feeble light; if taken unawares,
 They look like shapes whose souls have gone
 to seed.
 Each rustling paper is an anodyne
 Against the hours whose curse 1t is to drag. These men in retreat. broken line;
 Their shell-torn citadels display no flag. Grotesques stumbling over graves to keep rendezvous with nothngncss and sleep.

It was encouraging to note that Senator Francis T. Maloney of Meriden, as we'll as Representatives Koppleman, Citron, and Shanley remained true to the veterans in their hour of need this week. They voted to override the presidential veto, just as they had given evidence by their vote on payment of the adjusted service certifi- cates that they were not insincere in their support of veterans legislation. The Hartford Courant intimates that such action by democrats who last fall were calling for their election that they might go to Washington to support Roosevelt IS assertion. The majority of people in this state won't think so.

Taxes seem to be the prevailing topic of the day. There isn't a man or woman in this country today who doesn't know more about his or her government than those of the preceding generation. Current events are very much in the public eye and woe betide the official today who thinks that he can hoodwink the public. It no longer is gulible. It reads; it hears; it draws conclusions.
