Maine Has
A8 Maine goes, go goes the nation." .
This political slogan is too deeply imbedded in Ameri
can tradition, to be explained away by any interpretations cal
culated to salve the G. 0. P. pachyderm's injured feelings.
It is undoubtedly true that Maine is not the infallible political
barometer it once was. Yet we believe the records will show,
that with but one exception, the country has always gone in
November, the way Maine went, two months before.
THIS year, with the political situation so uncertain and con-
fused, and with so many voters still on the fence, there is
no doubt that this democratis victory in the Pine tree state,
will not only greatly hearten the democrats, but will throw
thousands of votes in the Roosevelt column.
It is human nature to like to be on the winning side. With
no vital issues separating the two major parties, political fence
sitters will start dropping into the democratic camp, like ripe
pears from a wind-swept orchard, '
THERE is another discouraging feature about this Maine elec
tion, as far as the Republican party is concerned, Maine
has always been regarded as proverbally dry, the pioneer pro
hibition state in New England. The democratic candidate in
that state was wringing wet; his Republican opponent tried
hard to be amphibious.
The Maine result demonstrates that the normal dry vote
in that state has either disappeared, or that the desire for
change wag stronger than any
liquor question.
. The democratic donkey is going to bray long and loudly over
this victory in the pivot state, on the Atlantic seaboard. Well,
he is entitled to do so. The donkey has won the first round
overwhelmingly; all the elephant can do is, grin and bear it.

"PIIERE is one great thing about Al Smith. No matter how
ticklish, from a political standpoint, a question may be,
Al never leaves the people in doubt as to JUST WHERE JIE
STANDS.
In this week's Saturday Evening Post, Al Smith in the lead
ing article courageously and gallantly supports President IIooV'
er in his opposition to the immediate paying of the soldiers
bonus.
Of course not being a candidate for public office, it was far
easier for Al Smith to do this, than it was for the President of
the United States; but with such
in its favor, Al Smith certainly knew that in taking such a
stand, he jeopardized his political future.
DUT those considerations have never bothered the former
" Governor of New York, and we hope they never will. It is
indeed. true he would rather b

thousands of fair minded and patriotic people.
We wish everyone might read this Saturday Evening Post
article. It shows so clearly the "other side" of this perplexing
and serious problem.
Here is the author's conclusion:
Nobody can question the feeling of the people generally for
the veteran, but when tht burden becomes so great that It -oppresses
everybody, these forms of gratuities and compensation
that are not actually related to the disability or suffering of a
result of the World war should bs ttrloktn out, and undoubtedly
would not be found In tht federal statutes If It were not for the
organised lobby.
It Is also undoubtedly true that tht veteran has a spirit of
patriotism, and he mutt stand In the position of being entirely
unwilling to have Improper payments made for the benefit of
lesa than ,S per eent of the people of the United States when
that relief must fall directly or Indirectly upon 130.000,000
people through taxation.
I am satisfied -that I reflect the opinion of a great majority
of tht veterans that they were fighting for a great principle
' when they offered themselves tn defense of the flag of our
country, They were striking at those who would question the
sovereignty, tht dignity and tht majesty of the greatest republlo
in the world. They could not have had In their mlnda the fact
that they were later to become favored charges upon the govern
ment. As to the men who were disabled, again I aay, with emphasis:
To those who were killed, to their relatives and their dependents
and beneficiaries, the gratitude of the American people cannot
even be expressed In dollars. For them, I say. everything; but,
for those accidental beneficiaries of an organised lobby. It It
time to call a halt.
I earnestly hope that a time will never come when the people
of the United States will be lacking In expression of their
gratitude to the men who offered themselves to the country In
her time of trouble, but we must, of necessity, realize that tills
organised effort on the part of representatives of an organleed
group mutt esses when they go beyond the limits of Justice, fair
dealing and fair play to the rank and file of the American people
who must foot the bills.
We can't but believe, not only a vast majority o! th'e Amer
ican tax payers, but many world war veterans themselves, WILL
AGREE WITH THAT VIEW.
The point is not as so many mixinformod people believe,
whether or not the bonus should be allowed.
THE BONUS HAS BEEN ALLOWED!
The only question is whether it should be paid NOW, when
there is no surplus cash in the treasury and the government can
scarcely balance its budget; or whether it should be deferred
UNTIL the government can better afford it.
War debts have been deferred, personal debts have been
deferred. Is there anything unreasonable in the request, which
PrcrHent Hoover makes for the nation; and Al Smith makes
for himself,
That the debt to the veterans, also be deferred, until Unelo
Sam and the taxpayers of this country, get on their financial
feet again t

Far more important is the
German news that Von Papen,

Mr. Edge, our ambassador In Paris,
presenting to Prance an expensive

overrun, they "instinctively resolve to
throw their moral, and, If need be,
their material weight on the side of

This hslf way promise that If some

will rush in, as It did In the last war,
Is fortunately not official,
Mr. Edge IS mistaken. And, what Is

PORTLAND GREETS
LEGION MARCHERS;
(Continued item Page One)
PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 13. (AP)
The natton'a greatest annual peace
time military spectacle was Port
land's treat today.
The whole day was set aside for
the annual parade of the American
Legion, the high point, from a spec
tator's viewpoint, of the convention
being ,held here.
For the day controversial matters
of bonus payment, bonus expedi
tionary force and prohibition were
forgotten by the rank and tile of the
delegates. Only a few committees
labored to reduce the ftve hundred
or more resolutions submitted by
delegates and individuals to a num
ber which can be handled on the last
two days of the convention Wed
nesday and Thursday.
Anti-bonus leaders were waging an
admittedly hopeless fight against re
versal of the Legion's stand against
the bonus. An equally determined
group of Pennsylvania delegates were
seeking to force through a resolu
tion condemning President Hoover for
his ejection of the bonus army from
Washington by the use of troops.
cnrley Slakes Plaint
The Legionnaires closed the first
day of their convention yesterday
with the bitter plaint of Mayor Jas. !
M. Curley, Democrat, of Boston that
wartime heroes had been "shot down
like dogs In the capital of our na
tion," ringing In their ears.
Curley was a distinguished guest
of the convention aa was Secretary
of War Petrlck Turley. who adroitly
turned booing into applause aa he
carefully avoided controversial sub
ject into a brief address urging the
Legionnaires to "put patriotism
above politics."
Hurley was said by members of
the Oklahoma delegation to have ao
otpted the badge of a delegate from
that state and in doing so to have
promised to vote for Immediate bo
nus payment as an Instructed dele
gate. However, he remarked later he
probably would leave for Huron, S.
D.. before the matter comes to a
vote.
17ie war secretary was expected to
msrch In the ranks aa a buck pri
vate among the Legionnaires from
his home state during Vie parade.
He had been asked to review the pa
rade but preferred to march.
Critic Answered
Hurley clashed with Flcvd Gibbons,
war correspondent and author, dur
ing a dinner given by Henry L. Stev
en. Jr., national commander of the
Legion, last night.
Gibbons critlrlred the methods
used by the administration In eject
ing the B. E. P. from their billets In
Washington, D. C. He accused the
army of having started the fire and
aald Vie bonus seekers had been or.
derly when the troops wer called I
la.
as having remarked that he'd rather
have both his lege cut off then suf
fer with nerves ss she did. I'll bet
a barrel of olive against a bitter
feeling that such mush was not ut
tered by the doctor who diagnosed
the, patient's real trouble. It sounds
more like the toothing talk of one
of these dear doctors, very dear, who
permit patients who have the price
to muddle slong with the "bad
nerves" obsession.
Get It clear In your delicate mind.
dumbell: I believe the majority of
"neurasthenics" are deceived, but a
minority of them are working "bad
nerves" as a racket. In order to bring

Hurley said he had not Intended to
talk on the subject, but that he felt
he should reply to Gibbons' charges.
He Insisted the fires were started by
the bonus army Itself and said the
use of regular troops was necessitat
ed by disorders too serious for clvU
autnorlttea to cope with.
"I have never failed to take It on
tne chin w.nen I had anything com
ing." Hurley said. "If you have
anything to say to me, say it I
never thought the government wss
in danger. I have always believed
tne people or this nation have
peaceable way for settlement of
their disputes and that they will use
those peaceful methoda. But when
there are riots, peace must be re.
stored."
He reviewed the orders Issued by
we war aepartment under direct In
structlons from the president.
"Now, can you find any fault with
those orders?" he queried. "Are they
unjustly harsh? I ordered out the
armed foroes of the government to
protect the marchers as well a oth
ers.
"There were men among that group
in wasnington wno come In an or
deny way to atate their case, for
whom I would lay down my life to
protect. There were wonderfully fine
men among them. But there were
other men, too. All were not angels.

"Happy" Wints, delegate from
Southgate, Cel., la proving the "safety
valve" to keep the boys from getting
too serious at the national conven

to pipe up snd with his trie bird

remark of not over ten words.
At every convention there Is always
one man whose remarks from the
floor, while not always germaln to

missed but one convention.

even a greater pressure of the hand
from visiting Legionnaires.

CONCORD, N. H., Sept. 13. (AP)
TJ. S. Senator George H. Moses, com
menting on the Maine vote, aald:
"No thoughtful Republican can
overlook the Implications of the elec
tion in Maine, nor can they be ex
plained away by the customary form
of political alibi.
"There wer some local cross-cur',
rents In the Maine election which
were readily discernible to those of
us from the outside who were cam
paigning there. But this was not
sufficient.
'The fact Is that Republicans ar
confronted by opposition well organ
ized and enthusiastic. The answer
to this Is that we should orgsntn
end develop enthusiasm.
"This Is not the f Inst time Maine
has elected a Democratic governor
In a presidential year when a Re
publican was elected president.
Therefore, the policy for Republi
cans henceforth Is to remember 1880
and repeat the Job."
