NOW, WHAT OF THE SOLDIER?

After three months’ legislative fiasco what have the much-vaunted Republican friends of the soldiers done in recognition of the men who served with the colors? It was one thing to anathematize the Democratic administration because the country’s needs demanded that some of the soldiers wait for their, discharges. But it is something ■else, about which little is being beard, that the soldier should wait upon the partisan expediency of a Republican congress for recognition and legislation to which he is entitled. Mr. Mann told the house thq, other day it ought to have a vacation and that there was nothing but “chicken feed” on the calendar at this time. What of the Mondell bill incorporating Secretary Lane’s plan for reclaiming land for soldiers? What of the legislation to broaden and assist the

work of the soldiers’ Insurance company, the war risk bureau? What of the Sweet bill for Insured soldiers? The soldiers who (couldn’t be demobilized speedily enough are now waiting on the Republicans, who want to let committee hearing turn into Rip Van Winkles while the Republican house takes a vacation to bolster up its non-regulation, non-func-tioning house machine. There are 13 Republicans and 8 Democrats —none of them overlapping—on the public lands and the interstate and foreign commerce committees, respectively, making a total of 42 members of the house who, at least, can not get away at this time and do justice to the soldiers, because one of these committees has under consideration the land reclamation plan and the other the soldiers’ insurance legislation. Must they delay their reports until a Republican house has a vacation? Representative Sweet, Republican of lowa, has offered a bill giving the soldier two years of insurance free. Other bills have been offered that would establish homebuying credits for the soldiers. Floor Leader Mondell has offered the land reclamation bill—all these are in committee —and some of them do not stand a chance of passing a Republican congress. This, together with the amendments to the soldiers’ insurance act, still under consideration, constitute the entire Republican score for the soldiers. The Democrats, who mismanaged the war, neglected the soldiers in battle, held them overlong in service, and did every other heinous trick partisan Rpubllcans can think of, at least shqw a more generous record. The Democrats enacted the insurance act; they gave the man coming out of service at least a S6O bonus at a time when the present depreciated value of money was not forseen; they have granted the insured soldier an 18 months’ grace on lapsed insurance policies; they gave him the vocational training act and -the disabilities compensation act; they prepared him

to win a flve-years’ war in a year and a half, and some few other things. And still the Republican friends of t{ie soldier want a vacation without doing anything for him. *

“CHICKEN FEED”

Republican inability or unwillingness to arise to a great emergency was never more brazenly confessed than in a recent debate in congress when Representative Mann of Illinois characterized the legislation now on the congressional calendar as “chicken feed.” Mr. Mann was Republican house ■ floor leader in the last congress, and is his party’s real leader on the floor now. He dominates the so-called steering committee, which allows nothing to get to the floor without the Illinois statesman’s O. K. Mr. Mondell is leader ini name only. The day following President Wilson’s address to the joint session of congress, when he requested the immediate enactment of legislation to strengthen his hands in his fight to bring down the prices of foodstuffs and rescue the people from the clutch of the profiteer, Mr. Mann made his striking and brazen characterization. Mr. Mann was probably “peeved” at the defeat of his plan for a recess, and so far as he is individually concerned, he declines to have his vacation plans spoiled by any public business, no matter how serious it may be. He very frankly said so. He bluntly served notice that he wasn’t going to “stay on the job.” It will require the services of a sergeant-at-arms to keep him in Washington during the hot weather, he told the house. “Chicken feed” is on the calendar, said Mr. Mann, and “chicken feed” can be disposed of at any time, in his opinion. Among the matters the Illinois representative regards as “chicken feed,” it is but natural to assume, for they are the problems that are pressing for attention, is legislation to bring food prices down to a fair level and stop the ravages of the profiteers upon the purses of the people; legislation to deal with the railroad problem, the soldier land bill and the many other constructive measures President Wilson has recommended. The American people will hardly agree with Mr. Mann’s logic that these, are “chicken feed.” But probably Mr. Mann would be a better Judge of packing house products.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS

The difficulty of deciding whether to investigate profiteers who contribute to the G. O. P.’s campaign funds or return home without reducing the high cost of living probably explains why the Republican leaders in the house of representatives have adopted the plan of frequent recesses as a compromise between legislating and adjourning.

There is nothing but “chicken feed on the calendar” of the house of representatives, said Mr. Mann. Well, it will prove useful when some of these Republican congressional chickens eoane home to roost.

Senator Lodge ought not Indulge the delusion that the senate galleries are big enough to accommodate all the friends of * league of nations, though they might afford room for all' his warm admirers. To have preached for long years the advantage of high prices and then to be compelled to attack the excessive cost of living—that indeed must be painful to Messrs. Penrose and Fordney. —* The executive departments of the government are active in the quest and suppression of profiteers. Only the legislative branch is inert — but that’s in Republican hands. It the people had to wait on a Republican congress to reduce the high cost of living starvation would meantime have solved the problem for most of them. If the high cost of living could be overcome by a filibuster, Republican senators doubtless would make a better showing than they are now making. Dollars wasted by the Republican congress In dalliance and delay can be replaced by the taxpayers. But how can more time be raised by taxation? Has It been observed that Senator Lodge is willing to befriend any people who tfhow indifference or hostility to the league of nations? The Republican majority In congress Is trying to demonstrate by its tardiness In legislation that time at least has not advanced in price.

When the bills for the various Republican “investigations’’ come in there will be complaint also about the high cost of legislation. It Is becoming plainer every day that certain Republican senators would rather be wrong than with the president. What are the Republicans going to do for the soldier? Vote him next year, of course —If he’ll permit them.

1 YEARS IN BED IROLEING CHAIR Mrs. Wilson Gave Up Hope—Gains 25 Pounds on Tanlac and Is Now a Well Woman. “For two years I spent all my time either in the hospital, in bed, or in a rolling chair, and during that time I was given up to die, and I don’t guess I wogld be here now if it hadn’t been tor Tanlac,” said Mrs. E. O. Wilson. Mrs. Wilson is well known in Atlanta, her husband having been emiployed by The Constitution for a number of years. “I was a gieat sufferer from chronic Indigestion,” continued Mrs. Wilson, “and don’t guess anybody ever had to go through with what I did. I was very weak and nervous, and at times had those dreadful smothering sensations to the point of . fainting. I had dreadful headaches, severe pains in my back and over my kidneys and my joints ached all the time. For two years I had to live entirely on boiled milk, toast and soft boiled eggs, and even that didn’t digest well, and would sour on my stomach, I didn’t know what It was to get a good night’s sleep. I took one kind of medicine after another until our house was almost filled with empty bottles, but instead of improving I was getting worse all the time. Finally they took me to the hospital for treatment, and I lay there for five long months, biit even that didn’t make me well. It was taking nearly every cent of my husband’s wages to pay my doctor and drug bills —our drug bill alone amounted to sl4 or sls a unonth, and one doctor bill

amounted to SIOB. “It looked like everything had failed to help me, and I had about given up all hope when one day my husband brought a bottle of Tinlac hoiue with him and asked me to take it. He said he had been reading and hearing a lot of good things about it, and didn’t see any reason why it shouldn’t help me. I was confined to my rolling chair when I began taking it. * Do I look like an Invalid now? I ceitalnly don’t feel like one, and I have actually gained twenty-five (25) pounds on eleven bottles of Tanlac, and feel as well as I ever did in my life. I can eat anything J want —such things as meat, turnips, hard-boiled eggs don’t hurt me a particle, and I sleep as good as I did when I was a girl in my teens. I can get about as well as anybody and just the other day I walked down town, and I am running around the neighborhood calling on my friends nearly all the time now. I haven’t a pain about me. I believe I an); the happiest woman in Atlanta, and I think I have a right to be. I think my recovery is almost a miracle, and everybody in our neighborhood thinks the same.” Tanlac is sold in Rensselaer by Larsh & Hopkins, and in Remington by Frank L. Peck. —Advt.
