When they make money, they spend It at home or with home The report th.t Present H.rdi»5 [o||u Amerl(!aM nMd never thlnt had reversed his opinion on a lederal bonus for ex-uoldlers, and was pro pared-to act more leninently and gen- rously toward the proposal of Con- ress to spend four billion dollars ithout any manner of raising it. has Iven the bonus a new life. His i * of 1 jrab on the ury was regarded in is his most important service to the country, against the importunity of tain class, coupled with the cow e of Congress In voting for the t in the face of the demand and then : Turkey yet? re still in moth r and it happens to be for it. To have reversed his lion would have been a step that Id prove incomprehensible, unless •e were certain good and sound sons therefor. he sole reason advanced was that in the recent elections six additional states had spoken In favor of a state bonus for the soldiers and that it in dicated the overwhelming sentiment of the people for such a measure on the part of the national government. Mr. Harding probably knows that a state bonus and a federal bonus are different things entirely, but they' would probably be a double bonus and a double tax on the people. Every state where a bonus measure has been passed, and there are twenty-, three of them to date, is taxed to pay for that bonus. The people must dig they will get anything out of the Japs In the way of trade, if there Is any Jap handy to take it. This spirit has created a feeling of > mistrust along with a Jealous fear that the increased number of Japs will come too large and thereby threaten certain forms of American industry. There are certain Japs who are plot ting against this country, in all sorts and kinds of ways, but this is not the general Japanese sentiment or activity. They want opportunity to use our re sources and make money and we won’t admit them. They are coming to the point in years ahead of us when they will make themselves felt economical ly all over the world as a distinct men ace to our commerce, except in lineB of our monopolies, due to their cheap labor and advantages in production at a much lower cost than is possible here. This will give Japan a great opportunity if labor troubles do i enter into the national life to the tent of raising costs. In that ev« we may not feel the competition SMITH FOR PRESIDENT Ilergdoll is still at large, but he down and deliver the shekels for that 'eels smaller than < i Red Cross e old price. i can all approach the same prob and do 1t by different angles. they ought to. gift to the men, who served. If the national government adds four billions to its budget for that purpose those same people will have to shoulder their share of their burden also. The state has a perfect right to spend Its money for that purpose and to tax Itself to do it. There is no in dication. however, that It would have been done had not the people been in favor of it and so voted in a special election or referendum. There is nj prospect for such with the federal government, except in a very indirect and insufficient manner. The government should outline, as far as practicable, a plan of action that would meet all possible demands for i we are to have bonus elections every Democratic decade, pension appropriations grow- elected in i Ing into billions forty or fifty years couple with fou the Civil War. it is time we learned 'Just what to expect and to make plans accordingly.

It Is argued that Smith could safely carry 'New York for democracy, and that he is due na tional recognition for the determined stand, which he took before the Demo cratlc state convention, which put Wil lie Heart out of the running. These may be good reasons but we are not disposed to nominate a man for his ability to carry New York or his antagonism to Willie Hearst, con soling and delightful as both may be to Democrats, Governor-elect Smith is ' •i real man. perhaps, and he is also a real fighter, but he Is a long way from j the White House. New York rarely ♦ver furnishes a president because of its state political complexion. Gov- J ernor Smith is afflicted with less of . the Tammany taiut than some others, but he may not carry the weight of. his Influence in the state sufficiently to claim prestige two years hence. You never can tell what will happen ! but It doesn't seem quite probable that 6mlth will get the nomination, even though he appears to be the outstand- 1 ing fighter of a mid-term election and , fully capable of taking care of hit Interests anywhere. j Tonight THE BIG NIGHT -AT— WHOLE PORK HAM, lb.

It has its future and the color line in racial dlstlngulshments for purposes of citizenship can be changed. Japan will doubtless work toward that end. Why this effort? Is generally asked. Not for the reason of social demands, or a feeling of outraged decency on being denied equal rights with other nations. Not at all, although there is naturally some of this In the Japanese feelini ( haraeter may be what a man is i i» dark and that's usually why i iany try to hide it behind good rep advertising something that has ready been.
