What we need here in Jackson county at the present time as we never needed them before, are some straight honest-to-God men. Don’t get stampeded, folks. Just use your calm deliberative judge ment. keep your powder dry and wait until you can see the whites of their eyes.

Isn’t it apparent that the fact the bonus pay would all have gone directly to the service man • in small amounts in definite sums which would have to be ac counted for—that Washington knew in advance none of the buddies were going to hand back certain desirable concessions in return? Do you suppose the great corporations receiving mil lions of dollars from officials forgot who granted them the fa- I vors? Don’t be silly. And. if you still doubt that a millionaire presidential cabinet and Head Man can have the outlook of the ordinary person— like you and I—why did the president drive hungry ex-soldiers out of Washington with drawn bayonets, gas and fire? They had been only peacefully lobbying in their own interests, but President Hoover, a Britisher by choice and an American born man by accident, saw menace, defeat and trouble ahead in the congregation of his constituents. And why did the president wait until congress had convened to pull his trick of the mon archs? We’ve never yet heard an answer to these questions, save for unsuccessful attempts to cast suspicion and dishonor onto the ranks of the very boys who “made the world safe for democracy.” Just what do you think of the president of a great nation who refers to his countrymen who come to the aid of their na tion and offered their lives as “criminals, hoodlums and anar chists.” Is that the proper attitude for the nation’s hired man to take toward the people who gave him his job?
