We are particularly sick of it. when it'emanates from the Republican presi, Xvhich gave such unqualified assurances to the boyl in the campaign of 1920. Occationally the soldiers themselves make the blunder' of bating their claim on the ground that big wages were paid to the men wbo stayed at Home, There is where they play into the hands of their enemies. Big Wages were paid during the War and President Wilson is noi re' sponsible for die big wages the tteel trust paid.

Big1 wages were, paid the workers here who labored in ship yards, munition factories, in connection with transportation facilities, and Vtho were engaged in any of the work that could only be done here, and without which die boys across the' sea would have found themselves naked before' the enemy. The wages were big, but so Were the prices they paid for the necessities, of life, And as in Evantville when the loan tlrives were on it was, not from the richi but from these men and women in the factories that the money came that fert the good work going. The men who paid big wages made, not big. but enormous, exorbitant profitsand put a(pin in this ihcy were the men who commercialized patriotism. We are weary of heating the workingmen of the facton'et and' shops held tip As the "profiteers" of the war, because they had a margin after paying the exorbitant prices they had to face, while the men who mad millions by advantage of their country's necessities are care Tully protected from the imputation.

And if the soldiers are wise they will say less of the wages paid the worker and more of the fact tljat millionaires doubled their millions and many hundreds of millionaires were made because of the war, and while the boys, now with commercializing patriotism, were fighting in the field. And if justice were done1, the soldiers' bonus would come in large measure from the profiteersof war days whose patriotism, such a it is, it never questioned by the sniveling hypocrites who are constantly lamenting the sinister commercialism of ths soldiers. Only the other day the wife of a distinguished former prime minister of England, after having spent Some weeks in this country, gently chided ut on the ground that we have done less for the soldiers than any of the other nations. That was not true, of course, in the days of battle and durihgthevad ministration of Wilson. No soldiers en the battlefields of Europe were so well fed or so well cared for by their government.

But it is true, nowj Wo are nauseated with the reminder that the sick and the dying soldiers are eafect for now by the federal government. Were anything less possible to say mis country Would not be worth the powder it would take) 16 blow it to Hades. But has not been kept. The promises have been broken Arid oday, where the press pf America has one wort of admiration or respect for the soldiers, it has a hundred of denunciation, sniveling criticism and abuse. And the inspiration o( it all comes from the men who were the war profiteers and made their millions by Capitalizing the necessities of their country in days of battle.

It is the old story of the Civil wr gold for the bond holders because honor demanded gold and depreciated money for the soldiers because honor never demands that the men who risk their lives to serve their flag shall be given the best of the land. ThAt is one of the reasons that the masses of mankind propose to put an end to the old international policies that breed war.

Ilut for the Incorporation Into the budget bill of an unconstitutional provision necessitating a veto, this reform would have been mado under tho Wilson.

There were times when It emed that President Harding would stand by hla director In this work. But whan the administration budget was prepared It waa found In foes ot pevefiue. In other words it, provides a deflolt.

Now, If had no capacity for laughter In virtu of the primitive thwta.tawtoney wo hould, on contetn piallng theee dlaharmonle of notion, share In aom degree the distress, the embarrassment, the disappointment or tho hunnllatlon.
