Mendicancy.

In an ancient guidebook, published
nearly century ago for the instruction
of alien visitors to Paris, there appears
the warning: do not give to beggars.
The practice is dangerous" The author,
1t may be presumed, had ample reason
for both the advice and the sentiment
which prompted it. He must have
learned from experience the peril of in
discriminate charity. Perhaps one single
bitter incident had taught him the
necessary lesson; more likely q long
series of Establishments was required.
Naturally, Of course, individuals in
distress appeal to a universal instinct
to offer help. The poor are not alto
gether undeserving. All the more reason,
then, why the unfortunate should resent
professional importantly. Yet circum-
stance has trick of identifying the In
terest of useless idlers and the honest
unemployed. Thus it happens that it Is
practically impossible to Judge the effi-
cheney Of such vast experiment in Fed
eral philanthropy as the Works Progress
Administration. President Roosevelt
himself probably is skeptical about It.
He once declared that I'VE must quit
this business Of relief" and It is fair to
suppose that his utterance was mott
waited by sincere conviction.
But 1t is difhcult to terminate policy
which vast numbers of noisy and mill
tant beneficiaries desire continued. The
Caesars discovered that the capacity Of
the Roman mob for the. enjoyment OF

Oelirium!

With election on the way;
Well travel on together
When the band begins to play.
And If it rains or freezes
Well never weep nor sigh
When every prospect pleases,
With a rainbow In the sky.

To the pawnshop silent-lee,
But now it has been taken
Once again on Uncle's knee!
The ring is filled completely
With bonnets tall or nat,
And Susanna sings as sweetly
As the Bird on Nellie's hat.
Emotions bid us trample
On the rules that held us tense
And is strongest in example
When 1t isn't making sense.
Oh, Susanna! You're witty and you're

You and the grand piano

Shadow of Coming Events !?

Some of the American Legion officials
at Cleveland are represented as asserting
in private conversation that the resolu-
ton on Government protection" Of
widows and orphans Of the veterans,
adopted in the closing hours of the con-
vention, is not to be interpreted as pre-
pairing the way for a general pension
bill in the next few years. But they
said newspapers would probably interpret
1t that way.
Let 1t be hoped that the veterans
officials are correct and the misinterpret-
Ing newspapers are wrong. The history
of the bonus, the history of legislation
on Government aid for the veterans of
the World War, the history Of pension
legislation in other wars and recent de-
velopments among some of the veterans
all point to the probability of a drive
for general pension legislation in the
next few years. 1t is within the power
Of the American Legion members and
their officials to cut short such a drive
before it gets under way. But whether
that power will ever be applied Is an
other question, human nature and po-
litical nature being what they are.
As for the resolution adopted by the
Legion, it contains the recommendation:
THAT in no event shall the widows and
orphans of World War veterans be with
out Government protection"
That might be taken to mean any
number of things, but it's Interpretation
In relation to pensions is logical when
1t is considered that the resolution
adopted was the final selection from
some fourteen separate proposals relat-
Ing to compensation for widows and
orphans of veterans. 1t is also to be
read in connection with the definition
of widow" adopted as another resolu-
ton: 1.-THE term widow of World War
veteran shall mean a person who mar
ried the veteran prior to July 3, 1881, or
one who married the veteran subsequent
to that date and has lived with the
veteran continuously for a period Of
three years next preceding the veterans
DEATH"
If Civil War precedent were followed,
general pension legislation for World
War veterans could be expected to ma
terialize a little after 1910. But Senator
Harrison, arguing in 1885 before the
Senate Finance Committee for the COM
promise bonus bill, upheld his proposal
for q statement of anti-pension policy in
the legislation on the ground that 'it
would have wholesome effect upon the
country and upon the ex-service men,
because there are millions of them who
do not believe in general pension legisla-
ton, and in the hearings before COM
mittee after committee expressions of
that idea have been given to the COM
mittees by representatives of the ex-
service mems organizations"
The time for these millions of veterans
to speak against general pension legisla-
ton Is, apparently, on the way.

proposed. Aid of Delegate Dimond
was sought and the Delegate has
put the matter directly to Secre-
tary Ickes. In letter to the Sec
rotary, copy of which was furnished
Mr. Stewart, Delegate Dimond ex-
pressed the attitude of many AL

would tend to eventually close up
all the better mineral sections. He
urged against enlarging the Sec
tion in the event it was not opened.
In presenting the matter to the
Delegate, Commissioner Ste art
pointed out, among other things,
that the area actually has mineral
resources. One prospector in few
short months with a two-ton mill
found vein where he knocked out
$3.50 in raw gold in the district and
there is every indication that SINH

make Government employment an
