It is to be hoped that now congTess has finally rejected the: peace treaty, it will proceed to carry out some of the construction; legislation necessary for the nation's .welfare, which has been' before it the past year. j Of all the subjects upon which action was requested by Presi-j dent Wilson, only one question has been settled the return of the railroads. All the other great issues are still pending. Most disgraceful of all is the failure of congress to do any thing for the ex-service men. The treatment accorded those who sacrificed everything for the nation's welfare in the hour of need is contemptible. Only upon insistance of the president was care of the wounded provided for the balance of the pro-! gram congress marks time. j Former soldiers, sailors and marines are victims, along withi peace, of partisan politics. To pass relief legislation might react j favorably to the democratic administration, and to refuse any action might injure the administration hence the four million ex-service men can wait for glittering platform promises of the next election." - It was early in December, 1918, that the president requested congress to enact legislation caring for the war veterans. He renewed his request in May, 1919, and again in December, last. But nothing has been done. Tired of waiting, the veterans are now demanding relief, either in the form of bonus or such other method as deemed ad visable but congress has so far turned a deaf ear, declaring that bonds or money,-to the extent required, would demoralize the government's finance. At the same time they have no scruples in letting the profiteers demoralize individual finance.

"It's the hot-mater bottle! I find that it's, full of holes: and I can't think how they came there." Aunt Polly put on another pair of spectacles. "Let me see it!" she said. "Aha! she exclaimed, as she looked at the hot-water bottle closely, "I thought so!" she said. What is it?" Mrs. Rabbit Inquired. "I hope it's nothing catching. For just think what a fix we'd be in if all the children should have that same trouble!" Aunt Polly told her not to worry. "You'd better get a new bottle,"' she said, "for this one can't be cured. But I'll show you what to do to pre vent the new hot-water bottle from getting full of holes like this one. Get me a piece of string!" said Aunt Polly. Now, for some reason or other. Jimmy Rabbit began to feel very un comfortable. He was no longer in bed. And when he heard Aunt Pol ly ask for a piece of string he started to sneak out of the room. But Aunt Polly saw him. "Come back here!" she said. "I want you!" And she made Jimmy sit at her feet and wait until his mother returned. "Here!" Jars. Rabbit said when she came back at last. - "1 this string what you need? It's a very strong piece." "Just the thing!" Aunt Polly told her. And she took hold of Jimmy Rabbit He began to howl. And he squirmed. And he would have kicked, if he had dared. Aunt Polly Woodehuck did a strange thing then. She hung the hot-water bottle, from Jimmy's neck. There!" she said. "Just let him wear that for a few days! I don't think you'll have any more trouble with holes in hot-water bottles." "Have you known cases like this Cn 22, 1921 before?" Mrs. rkm. . . V" "A few!" said AtlT thlelsbyfar the T'y' "Al them.

THE UNTAXABLE MELON. Stock dividends represent capital and not income and hence are exempt from income taxation, according to a recent decision of the federal supreme court, which decided the mooted point by a vote of five to four. Under this decision, the government must refund tens of millions and lose a large amount of prospective income. The decision opens the way for big corporations to evade double taxation, by "cutting a melon" that is by distributing sur plus in the form of stock dividends instead of cash, which would be taxable. It puzzles a layman to understand why the recipient 18t? was should not have to report such a gift dividend as taxable income. Of course, if the stock presented earns dividends, they are subject to taxation, though repetition of the process of increasing the stock would enable the evasion of taxation indefinitely. How the plan works is shown by the American Car & Foundry Com pany, which is ready to divide its surplus of $31,321,521 into stock dividends equal to $104 a share. Another instance is that "of Morris & Company, packers, holding $52,823,864 surplus or $1,7(50 per share. The Standard Oil, Republic Iron & Steel, National Biscuit and numerous other industries are in similar position. Hence the boom occasioned in securities by the decision. New York papers generally approve the decision, holding that it removes "hampering burdens and restrictions from capital" freeing it to engage in the development of industry ; that "to tax investments, in addition to taxing earnings, is the surest way to discourage enterprise, block expansion and curtail prosperity." Let us hope, as a result of the decision, capital will really be more available for industry and an era of expansion follow. Rippling Rhymes - BY WALT MASON A WINDY DAY. The wind was blowing hard today, it nearly blew my rags waves, "and we will give you rest!' Slowly I took a few steps forward and then stopped.- Again came the mournful sound of the wind, and it seemed as though the clouds dropped lower, when far out I saw the whit ened cap of an incoming wave. Sud denly I made up my mind that when that wave came near enough to the shore to make It possible I should nccept the Invitation of the sea and go to its embrace! Thrill of Anticipation I watched its incoming with an aweu thrill of anticipation. Nearer and nearer it came! Would it mean it sleep eternal? In a cealing imperialistic aims. moment I should know. I drew near er and nearer to ttie.rall, a part of which had been broken earlier in the day by wind and storm. - . . Carefully I calculated the seconds it would take for my wave to recah me, and then Just as I decided that it was time and had placed my hands upon the broken rail through which i meant to leap to that blessed bourne I felt a strong grip on my shoulder! and a voice, in which was blended pain and exasperation, said sternly: "Katharine!
