May 24, 1924..
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.

A bad back makes you gloomy.

The aches and pains of a bad back.
Are frequently due to wead kid

Doan’s Pills are recommended for

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.”

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

mown as “Euphony." Knowing 30

For every meaning or thought there Is

rake the word‘ole’for‘eye,’'zu' mean

meaning ‘woman.’ Combine them thus,

An expedition of the National Geo

whether it was once generally inhab

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.

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! If there's a
dearth of maharajahs at any time in
India, just cable me, sir, and I’ll take
the next train.”
