The Adjusted Compensation meas ure for the veterans of the World \Var has become a law. It is not the original bill which started its way through legislative channels five years ago. Neither i3 it the bill which President Harding vetoed, but it is a new bill, more properly an insurance bill, giving 20 year paid-up endow ment policies to all the veterans, based upon their age, length of service, and whether or not they were over-seas. It is a compromise meas ure—as most such measures are—it may not meet the full desires of all tlhe service men, but will, without doubt, be accepted by the great ma jority as a final settlement of this problem. It becomes a law without the President’s approval. The vote in the Senate and the House—both for and against over-riding the veto did not follow party lines nor sections. The first feeling of resentment in some quarters to the wording of the veto message quickly gave way to a feeling that the President waff entitled to full respect for his views, sincerely and lully given. The President raised iwo main objections to the bill—first that there was no obligation to pay it on the part of the government and that the company was not able to pay. Upon both questions the Congress held against him. One element in the mat ter l as been overlooked in most dis cussions of this legislation, and that is the fact that Congress was pledged to the passage of this Act. I believe this legislation is right—unpledged I would have supported it. The legist lature of Nebraska and many other states memorialized Congress to pass this law. Members and Senators pledged their support to it before election. An affirmative declaration in its favor was in the political plat forms. President Harding endorsed it in a speech at Cincinnati, Ohio. For months many eastern papers have attacked Congress and this legis lation, demanding tax legislation and laying down the statement that there can be no tax reduction and a “bonus.” They have resorted to argument and abuse. Now that it is a law it is amusing to note how quickly these same papers conclude that taxes can be reduced, and adjusted compensa tion had. The tax bill has been agreed to in conterence. accept. iui me or the largest incomes the Senate rates are pi'actically those adopted by the House months ago. The confer ence report will be accepted and every indication is that it will meet execu tive approval. Eastern publications now openly urge the President to ap prove the bill'—which only a few weeks ago they vigorously condemned the House for passing. This week the House is considering the McNary-Haugen Bill—legislation designed to secure a better price level for agricultural products and to put agriculture in the central states again on a paying basis. It is to be done by setting up corporate machinery to buy the exportable surplus of staple crops. The act is operative only on crops of which there is an exportable surplus, ’’’he price to be paid in the United States is to he determined by corn raving the pre-war price of the agri •ultural product with hs prewar ex change value for other goods, based on some iOO staple commodities, and hen by determining the present value f the commodities farm produce ir-ps are brought up to the same Mo price and thereby their pre ■ nurchasing price restored. The • rket and the list charged back by a eduction in the original ratio price H( dv»Ti<n in the original ration price v/hich is paid to the pudehaser The economic justice of the measure is certain. America has a fixed policy for tariff protection to our industries. Under it they have prospered. By the Immigration Act we have, protected labor from a cheap foreign labor market. By this act it is proposed to olaco the American farmer with what he has to sell, upon a protected mar ket. Mr. Sinclair, joint author of the Sinclair-Norris Bill., is supporting this measure. It will come to a vote early next week with its passage in the House uncertain. ROBERT G. SIMMONS. OUT OF THE GLOOM. Many a Gloomy Countenance in O’Neill Now Lightens With Happiness. A bad back makes you gloomy. Can’t be happy with continual back ache. The aches and pains of a bad back. Are frequently due to wead kid neys. Doan’s Pills are recommended for weak kidneys. So O’Neill citizens testify. Ask your neighbor! Mrs. A. H. Jacobs, O’Neill, says: “I was troubled with my back and kidneys for a number of years before 1 learned of Doan’s Pills. At that time I was so bad I could hardly get around and felt miserable and weak all over. Generally when I lay down at night I felt worse. My back and hips pained me and I couldn’t rest properly. When I heard of Doan’s Pills I tried them and it only took a couple of boxes from Stout’s Drug Store to give me fine relief. In the past few years I have used Doan’s oc casionally when I felt my kidneys vc-ed attention and they never fail to do their work.” 60c. at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

I To Save a I | Soul Was t 3: Sandy’s Idea :? X By JOHN PALMER X V V <©, 1924, Western Newspaper Union.) might you be?” andy McGregor stood in the doorway of his shack, looking keenly | down at the trembling boy within. ! Tall, grizzled, the epitome of strength i was Sandy, the occupant of the lonely shack in the desert, twenty miles from ! Sunrise. For two years he had been dogged ly washing gold from the stream, al ! ways in hope of the great strike Which he had never made. Every one in Sunrise respected the gaunt, God-fearing old Scotchman, whose word was his bond. Sandy looked at the boy. "Ye be { Alex Smith?" “Yes, I’m Alex Smith," faltered the other. “You know about me. i shot ' and killed John Templeton. lie (heat ed me out of my wages and dis j charged me from his livery stable.'' “Aye, I know about that crime,” an swered Sandy. “I didn’t mean to shoot him. I’d | been trying out a gun and I—I lost I my head. I pulled It and fired. Lie fell dead. I’ve been hiding for a week. Won’t you protect me till the posse thinks I’ve got away?” “I’ll protect ye,” answered Sandy. He let the boy bunk In his cabin, and took him into the hills with | him the next day, where he would he j safe from visitors. He made him up a , bunk in the little shack lie had erect | ed in the gully. No one would come that way. Days passed. Alex worked with a will for his employer. At the end of a week he went to him. “I guess the posse’s given up the \ job,” he said. “I’d better be biking." j “Whaur d’you think of going?” asked Sandy. i “Over the hills. I can strike the , railroad in four days, hop a freight i and—” I “And live nil your days with the I charge of murder hanging over ye, a ! hunted fugitive?” asked Sandy. “Man, 1 go down on your knees and ask Him 1 to give ye the strength to go back; | and take your medicine!” "Back to Sunrise?” whimpered Alex. “You—you’re not going to give | me up?” “I'm not going to give ye up, hut I i want ye to give versel’ up, Alex. A I man reaps whaur he sows. ’Tis the | law. Give yersel’ up and trust to His | mercies.” “I daren’t,” whimpered the boy. “They’ll hang me.” “On yer knees!” said Sandy, j He kneeled beside him. “O Lord,” I lie prayed, “as thou hast given ; strength to the desert and the ever lastin’ hills, give strength now to this thy servant that he may do what is right and surrender himself to the sheriff.” Then ensued a dogged' battle be tween the old man and the boy. For two days they fought it out together. “If you go, you’ll have yer life and freedom,” said Sandy. “But ye’ll live yer life knowing you’ve committed the sin of murder. Ye’ll never know that peace of the soul that comes from well doin’. Give yerself up and trust* in Him.” In the middle of the third night Alex slipped quietly from his bunk, gathered his few things together, and rrept out of the hut. He glanced fearfully at big Sandy as lie passed Ids bed. He did not see that the big Scot was observing him through his half-closed lids. When he was gone, Sandy went flown on his knees and prayed that strength might be given to the lad. He prayed til! morning—for Alex, for himself, and for the world. When he returned from work that light Alex was In the hut, “I—I’ve come back," faltered the lad. “I—I thought I could get away with it, but It was as if a voice wsi3 whispering In my ear, telling me to return. I’m ready to start for Sun rise in the morning.” "Glory be 1” said big Sandy. He clapped bis hand on Alex’s shoulder. “There’ll be no need for ,’ou to start for Sunrise, son,” he said. He drew a folded newspaper from his pocket and handed it to him. Alex read with terror and amazement the story of his crime. The bullet had glanced off one of Templeton's ribs, inflicting only a trivial wound. After a perfunctory search the posse had returned. “You->—knew ?” gasped Alex. “Why did you—?” „ “To save your soul, laddie 1” un swered big Sandy. “Laddie, down on per knees!” New Universal Language An ' mployee of tlw?

The country consists mostly of canyons and sandstone cliffs and is of fantastic beauty. An area there as large as some of the smaller Eastern states still remains quite unknown to white men. —Youth’s Companion. Mark Twain’s Gown On the occasion at Oxford when Mark Twain, the humorist, was given in honorary degree, lie remarked to the maharajah of P.ikanlr, another re cipient : “I like the degree well enough, hut Tin crazy about the clothes.” (He wore the usual Oxford gown with Its brilliant hood.) “I Vlsh I could wear 'em all day and all night. Think of the gloomy garb I have to walk the streets in at home, when my soul cries out for gold braid, yellow and scarlet sash.es, jewels and turbans!
