Clemmons, D D of Lincola Chicago Tribune-Omaha Be Leaned Wire. Washington, May 29. The pro posed soldiers' bonus is comprehen sively condemned in the platform adopted by the Virginia democratic convention, approval of which docu ment was voiced by President Wil son in a letter' to senator Glass of Virginia today. ' J. hank you for sending me the copy of the platform recently adopt ed by the democrats of Virginia," the president wrote. "Aside from the purely personal references, which of course I deeply appreciate, let me say to you, my dear senator, that the sentiments expressed in this notable document are in full accord with my own views. "Surely" this platform recites a record of achievement in which all Americans have a just cause for pride and congratulation." The plank on the soldiers' bonus follows: "The federal government shpuld treat with the utmost generosity every soldier of the world war, whether his disability due to wounds received in action or to health impaired in service; and for the dependents, of the brave men who died in line of duty the govern ment's tenderest concern and rich est bounty should be their requital. But we deplore stimulated efforts to fasten further oppressive burdens upon the taxpayers of the, country by enormous bond issues or con sumption and retroactive tax levies to give an indiscriminate bonus to enlisted men, thousands of whom themselves repel the idea of having their unselfish service appraised in terms of pecuniary reward. The fine aptriotism exhibited, the heroic conduct displayed by American sol diers at home and abroad, consti tute a sacred heritage of posterity, the worth of which can never be recompensed from the treasury and the renown ot which should never be diminished by dross." j Ctizens Hold Man Caught Putting Plank On Tracks Two men were accosted by Jack and Edward Sprague, 4338 Franklin street, as they were placing a 4x4 plank across the street car track at Thirty-second and Cuming streets Friday night.

"I couldn't see from the evidence that O'Hara's employers were to blame for the explosion." Attorney Will Appeal "I shall certainly appeal the case to the supreme court immediately," declared John O. Yeiser, attorney for O'Hara. i Young O'Hara, a tall, good look ing, intelligent lad, was led slowly away by his parents. "I don't understand the law,", said Mr. O'Hara. "My boy will never see again.

Williams, a spe cial attorney for the railroad admin istration, was here from St. Louis. Vitnesses were brought by the railroad from El Paso, Tex., Bos ton, New York and other points to testify regarding the nature of the mine grenade, the explosion of which caused the youth's blindness. O'Hara was employed at a "gantry," or large crane, in the Council Bluffs yards. He was straightening out a piece of old wire for use in steadying a load of telegraph poles which the crane was to move from an out-of-order car to a good one, when the bulb on the end of the wire exploded.

Do you realize that ten years have been spent in perfecting this tire? And that $1,000 a day is spent just to guard against defects? Every tire signed Cords and fabrics are all tested in the most exacting: ways. Not a tread is made until a sample of the stock is vulcanized and tested in the laboratory. , Fifty experts inspect the finished tire. Each must sign every tire he passes, and the man who makes it signs it If a tire comes back, both these men' are penalized. Thousands of , users are maHrlg Wmparf sons. They put another tire on the opposit wheel and .watch the mileage. And aU this talk about Miller Tires comes through those comparisons. It is this uniformity this constant su premacy that has placed Miller Tires where they are. I They don't come back Stage line Tests Seme of the greatest tire tests exe eon ducted on California stage lines. Some are on 12-passenger bases weighing 8,600 pounds loaded. On line after line Miller Tires are winning against a score of rwal makes. .On the Eldorado stage line 22 makes were compared. Over 1,000 tires a year are worn out at the factory in watching Miller mileage. . ' ' Eight geared-up machines each run two tires ,650 miles per day. Heavy cars, urtder-tired, are run ' night and day on the road. Scores of taxis and jitneys are employed ' in these ceaseless tests. Five rival makes are constantly compared with Millers. Day after J day the Miller makers prove that their tires excel. They knw the mileage they are giving, they know that they are uniform. Million-mile tests Many large users are comparing Millers in million-mile tests, and over. Often a score of makes are run against the Miller. On stage lines, taxia and trucks Millers are winning enormous contracts by out-serving every rival. Tread Patented Cantor tread MmA with taction cap, far firm bM m wet wpbalt.

In Akron where Mil lers are made the Miller Tire outsells at retail all other makes combined. On a retail business of $500,000 yearly, only 15 tires came back last year. Over 99 Miller Tires in 100 ex ceed the expectations. ; Think what that means to you. The records which Miller Tires make are dependable. What they do for you once they will do for you constantly. In a lifetime's use the probability is you would never get a laulty tire. Watch your mileage Don't take other men's figures on mileage. Conditions differ. Learn what Miller gives you on your car. Compare a Miller with the tire you now use. Let the records show which is best. Such a test will probably be a revela tion to you. Perhaps you do not knows the service tires should give today. Don't guess on tires. The Miller fae tory is spending fortunes to wig extra mileage for you. Find out what it is. ,,yheny0tt a new car insist oa Miller Tires.
