Mte Soldier Bonus.
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... A
ntn-iii * .inn r?avi ini-r^ inane tiv /\ni?*l l
ran young men in the war. 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

bill, which contains provisions
making permanent the present regulations
regarding dealing in cotton futures.
