Had Mr. Harry Black carefully re-read The Trib- ‘ume's editorial of March 1, of which he complains he could have saved himself much éffort in framing his reply thereto. The Tribune launched no “vitriolic at- tack against Hanford MacNider” or anybody else con- ecrned with the American Legion, or the bonus. What ‘The Tribune did do and still does is to condemn the action of Hanford MacNider in demanding of the president of the United tates that legislation be pass- ed for the benefit of any certain interest involving a ¢ommitment to an expenditure of five billions of dol- Yars at a time when the treasury of the United States cannot stand such financial strain and in the face of ‘Tepeated warnings of the secretary of such fact. And at a time too when the ordinary taxpayer of the coun- try is groaning under a burden of taxation he can searcely sustain and is having difficulty in making both ends meet. The Tribune always has and still approves the prop- er adequate and even liberal adjudication with the men who served in any branch or in any capacity in| the war, for having been taken from their business or) employment at the people’s call to defend the flag. It 4s simply a question of proper time and proper amount. ‘The quoting of the telegram from Mr. MacNider to the president is sufficient evidence to justify The ‘Tribune’s position in the matter snd we are perfect~ Yy willing to be judged upon that basia If Mr. Mac- Nider’s telegram did not carry a threat and a com- mand then the English language has lost its force and meaning. The interpretation which we placed upon the words, we have subsequently discovered, has been the meaning attributed to them, universally, except ‘by those at interest. The question of membership of the legion or the number of former service men for whom Mr. Mac- Nider essumes to speak, is wholly immaterial. The justice of the claim while highly important and not even referred to by Mr. MacNider is not denied by any American citizen worthy of the name; but tho at- tempt, veiled or otherwise, intimated, suggested or openly stated, to threaten, coerce or intimidate a president or a congress to do anything for anybody or any interest, whatever its power or however right- eous its claim is an un-Americcy ovroceeding and wholly contrary to Democratic institutions and danger- ous to the liberties of the people. The right of petition, the right to discuss are ele- reental rights under the constitution, but the right to demand does not exist. Sentiment, for or aguinst a matter Tike adjusted eompensation to soldiers but lately returned from the most colossal war the world hgs ever known, is not Gifficult to arouse; and is not entitled upon either side to preponderant weight. Divest it of selfishness, sen- timentality and all other influencing motives and base the claim upon justice and faith in the American peo- ple and there can be no controversy and no need to align chambers of commerce or other organizations in its behalf. The views of newspapers, individuals, business in- terests and labor organizations upon the question of soldier compensation, its amount and time and method of ‘payment are all entitled to the same consideration and respect as the views of Mr. Black, Mr. MacNider and their fellow members of the legion. ‘They all par-' ticipate in the payment. As to the attitude of other publications opposing compensation as a principle, of which Mr. Black speaks, having the remotest weight with The Trib- une’s expression of opinion, the suggestion ts ridicu- lous. The Tribune is for compensation. ‘The publi- cations referred to are opposed. We have nothing to do with the opinions of these publications, much less, sympathy with their sentiments. As for propaganda for and against adjustment, both sides have employed it. If it is objectionable for one it is equally so for the other. This feature as well as many other features of what has now developed into & campaign are the usual and ordinary methods of the present day. It is no original discovery of ours, that all minds do fot go along the same channel. We believe Mr. Black, 4s well as many others, have had the same fact brought home to them quite often. We did not like Mr. Mac- Nider’s approach to the president. We thought it a boner and said so. In fact have not been convinced to the contrary. This in no sense constituted an assault upon Mr, MacNider’s personal character. We have had occasion in the past to commend him highly. In fhe present instance we cannot.
