LEGION BLAMED FOR
VETERANS WOES

BY II. Z. ThixtOD.
Being one of the boys who fol-
lowed the barrage, I was more than
delighted to read that Norman
Glenn, like so many others, would
prefer a special distinction separat-
ing the combat veteran from the
rest Of the crowd.
Those personal sentiments por-
tray a man of unquestionable char
acter imbued with the spirit of
fairness and immeasurable unSelf"
iSh qualities.
While 1 agree in principle with
Mr.. Glenn, 1 believe that he is not
in full possession Of facts concerning
veteran legislation. An eXamina-
ton of veteran administration files
will clearly show the injustices and
discriminating features existing in
our present laws.
In the list of denied claims you
may find records Of combat vet
Grams wounded in battle rated as
below compensate degree, and
others suffering from disabilities of
a tubercular nature and, according
to the findings of the rating board,
not service connected. Contrary to
those injustices you will find numer-
Gus cases of home service veterans
receiving subsidies in excess of $50
a month.
If any and all who may be in
terested may desire further evil
dence, I will gladly produce vet
eran who suffered a bullet wound
through the neck and now existing
on public charity. I also will pro-
duce for your approval another vet
eran of combat suffering from pull
monary tuberculosis and depend
ing on his wife for a livelihood
Neither veteran receives government
aid and both are survivors of bay
onet encounters.
Those deplorable conditions have
not resulted from the efforts of OPP
posing forces, but were the direct
result of strategy resorted to by the
tenacious American Legion through
its efforts to consolidate it's political
front, sacrificing common sense and
fairness-and motivated by the de-
sire for individual and private gains
Unfortunate it is for the nation
and combat veteran that the I'M
selfish qualities which characterize
Norman Glenn have not been shared
more abundantly by the individuals
who compose the rank and file OF
the American Legion.

CRITICISM DIRECTED AT
DEMOTION METHODS

BY Ex-Cop.
i Is interesting to notice that re-
sponsible city officials are still ap-
proving the recommendations Of the
police and fire chiefs that certain
police and firemen be denoted at
their own requests.
OF course this may be perfectly
true in the two cases brought up at
the board meeting Tuesday, but l
happen to know that in the past
some Of these requests have been
made to cover up some scandal or
even a personal grudge and keep the
real reason for the demotion secret
except to few men in the DEPART
ment.
1t seems to me that the Safety
Board is particularly stupid to pass
these recommendations without any
Investigation Of the matter other
than to ask a few questions Of the
chief. If cop or a fireman is to
be punished, the news should be
made public so that the people may
know the sort Of officers they really
have.

PREDICTS RETURN
OF PROHIBITION
By H. :. Bonsib.

BY H. :. Bonsib.
l see the politicians are at it
again. They are trying to patch
UP the "unpatchable," and are try
ing to do the "undoable."
The leopard has not changed his
spots. Nothing is settled until it
is settled right; and as TO settling
the liquor traffic, it never has been
regulated nor controlled.
Allow me to reiterate again and
again-what can't be mended must
be ended.
The liquor traffic is not control
able. If it is right it ought to be
free, and if it is wrong it should
never be licensed.
If the Prohibition party were IN
power it would be dealt with as
crime and not as business, and we
would have a party in power which
is in sympathy with the prohibition
law, which we have never had.
Christ said, Every tree that my
Heavenly Father hath not planted
shall be rooted up" I would not
want to insult the Almighty by say
ing that He has planted the Booze
Tree.
I know Of nothing that de-
scribes our present predicament bet
ter than these verses from Isaiah SO:
Your iniquities have separated
between you and your God, and your
sins have hid His face from you,
that He will not hear.
For your hands are defiled with
blood, and your fingers with mi
guilty; your lips have spoken lies,
your tongue hath muttered per-
verseness.
Therefore is judgment far from
us, neither doth justice overtake US;
we wait for light but behold OBJ

DENOUNCES JURY FOR
VAUDEVILLE ACT
BY Harriet Drake.

By Harriet Drake.
Is it possible that eight men and
four women can be so utterly low
and degraded as to take pleasure
in the fact that they have SEN
fenced a man to death? SO great
pleasure and pride in that fact
that they contemplate vaudeville
tour. putting themselves on ex-
hibition for other lOw-minded per-
sons to pay money TO merely gaze
upon them.
Possibly it was with this end in
view that the CHASTITY verdict was
agreed upon. Who knows?
Had they found Hauptmann not
guilty, or recommended mercy, GER
tainly they would have received no
offer for a stage appearance.
And does the world at large be-
lieve the verdict a just one, evidence
Of first degree murder being purely
circumstantial?

work and toll made himself what he
is today.
To me a person who talks about
taking the money away from cap
italists is nothing but a loafer and
wants something for nothing. He
should be in Russia or Germany
and not in the U. S. A. Many times
have been without a cent in my
pocket and starving but I never
blamed the capitalist or the admin
istration then in power; l placed it
where it belonged-on myself. II
others would try this perhaps they
would remedy their faults and have
a little more cheerful outlook on
life.
The present Administration has
been in power a little more than two
years and people in their false be-
liefs are beginning to blame the
present conditions and crisis on it.
Give it a chance. You can not
change the entire economic condi-
ton of a country like ours in two
years or even four. You might in
Bolivia or Switzerland or some other
equally small country, but not here.
1t was the previous Administra-
ton that put the country in the de-
preston and it went in overnight.
1t will take a long time to get out.
Instead of people giving destructive
criticism Why not make it corstruc-
tive and speed up recovery instead
of retarding it? The present Ad-
ministration has helped conditions;
give it a chance and let it bring the
country entirely out of chaos. Read
The Times business section and you
can get a good idea Of the trend
toward better times and prosperity.
Factories are charging present
quarters and hiring additional help.

Hurrah for Mr.. Blume! BY all
means let us have rugged individ-
ualism. If Mr.. Blume has car
and wants to go to Chicago, let
him build his own road. But
with rugged individualism Mr..
Elume probably wouldn't have a
car because he would have to
make it himself.
You say Mr.. Blume'S house is
on fire? Well, let him put it out
himself. This is an individualiSt's
country. Every man for himself
and let the devil keep us if he can.
Why is everybody digging wells
and building outhouses? Haven't
you heard? We are enjoying a
gay return to the rugged individ-
ualiSm of our forefatherS. No more
police, firemen, judges, sidewalks,
sewers, garbage collectors, streets
no more anything. All, what a
life! No more anythingl
Mr.. Blume says:
1T takes suffering to make
great men. You would take away
the incentive to better them
selves"
My! My! Mr.. Blume should
preach his profound philosophy
upon the highways and byways.
There are millions who would be
cheered to know of their splendid
opportunities to become great men.
He further states:
The dreams of idealiSts are
seldom practical"
Now, I wonder where he read
that? Hasn't Mr.. Blume heard of
Edison, Fulton, Curie, Marconi
and thousands Of other idealists?
Nothing is practical until it is
practiced with success. Nothing
is practiced with success until it is
tried. Hasn't Mr.. Blume the rug

DEMANDS ACTION ON

What is the matter with the Board
of Safety that it continues It's pol
icy of inactiOn concerning the re-
cent arrest Of a train conductor by
policemen who had already violat-
ed a city ordinance by driving
through a railroad warning signal?
What is the matter with Chief
Mike Morrissey that he continues to

Are the board members and the
chief doing nothing because they
fear that any public rebuke or pun

The Senate plunged into an.
other stormy battle today as it
began consideration Of the highly
controversial new banking legis-
lation.
Enactment of the bill as
drafted by the Senate Banking
Committee after months Of fight
ing would change the Federal Re.
serve Board structure, eliminating
the Secretary of the Treasury and
the Comptroller of the Currency
as ex.officio members. It would
place open market policies In the
hands of an open market commit
tee composed of the seven Federal
Reserve Board members as pro-
posed by the bill. and five heads
Of Federal Reserve banks.
Moreover, the bill would give
banks new underwriting powers
for security issues, a provision op'
posed by President Roosevelt.
A number of Democrats, and
many Republicans were cunning
for the big banking bill as it came
UP for action. Senator Fletcher,
3D. of Florida, and chairman Of
the Senate Banking Committee,
has offered four importa
amendments. There were dozens
of other amendments in the
