Tin- action of the lower house of Congress in passing the soldier bonus bill i:i a just recognition of the ef- i t;..i I i . i...

While tlifi*i* may be miifh .l.'luy ami sounding <i!' |?litopinion before the lull is finally made law. there is little doubt that it will !?< passed eventually. If sueli action is not taken during this session of Congress, it will continue to conic up lor consideration until it shall pass. In the present form there are numerous objections that ought to be remedied, especially as to the method of payment and means employed for raising the money. The bonus, if it is to accomplish any definite good, should be paid in a lump sum and not doled out in pittances. Kven if every soldier should receive the maximum sum, $t?2f>, it would not be enough to create any widespread demoralization' of labor. The bonus principle is opposed in un organized manner in only two States, South Carolina and Arkansas. The American l.egion in these States, which claims to represent all the servicemen, has made protests to the national legion and to Congress that soldiers in these States are opposed to "working for" the bonus. If they are to make any elfective protest the only way to do it is to announce that they will refuse to accept any m >ney that may be provided. There is question among many that the legion in South Carolina really represents the sentiment of tin* great i...,i . ,.r 11... ?..i.i; 'I<1 : .. . ... .... m.imriii, I IH- I zation is n?>t sutliciently general to include by any means a plurality of ] | those men, ami since most of the I charters are held in the more populous I , centers it is reasonable to conclude ] i that opinion is restricted. Numerous \ conversations with former privates, whom the bonus is principally designed ! to aid. have shown almost unanimous | hope that compensation may be pro- 1 vided. The argument frequently heard that former soldiers should not accept a money settlement for a service of j patriotism and ideals is untenable. The service has been rendered- rendered well and at great sacrifice in ' many cases. While our soldiers were ! rendering this service the people at home prospered greatly and sent ! chocolate to the hoys. Now there i comes the cry from those who fear another inroad upon their profits: "In the name of patriotism and our good ' opinion, don't accept this money pay- i nient." tiood opinion is all very well but if it may lie so easily forfeited, it doesn't count for much any way. Tin' bonus would give many an "able-bodied young man" a start in business. And since this pittance would not add greatly to the tax bur den, why not allow the cx-suldii-r to slian- tin- prosperity tin* country enjoyed while In- kept the ciu'iiiy t'roin tIn- nation's throat? Cattle Show at \pres. Belgium. Ypros, Belgium, for several weeks ! the home of the Fort Mill hoys who fought with the :tOth division in the World war. has just held a successful cattle show, with the walls of the shell-ruined Cloth hall forming a hackground for the exhibit. Through the generosity of the British farmers, who have sent thousands of head of livestock to the devastated war area in Belgium, the show was made possible. Considerable pedigreed British cattle was m evidence at the show, as the peasants have stocked their homesteads with animals sent from (Jreat Britain. A \aliiablc Recipe. In these days of high-priced cotton goods the thrifty housewife doubtless will welcome a simple recipe for removing the lettering from Hour sucks: But a tablespoon of kerosene into two quarts of soapsuds and boil the new , Hour sacks in this mixture. They will come out pure white with all the colored lettering removed. Signs the Bill. Washington. June I.?Prwiilent Wilton today signed the agricultural appro]>riation bill, which contains provisions making permanent the present regulations regarding dealing in cotton futures.
