Contronted as it was by the state- ments set forth by President Harding in support of what had already been urged by Secretary Mellon of the treasury de- partment the senate took the sane and sensible course in recommitting the bo- . nus bill to the committee. There are good reasons for believing that the presi- dent would have vetoed the bill had it been passed and presented to him. It would have been the only consistent ac- tion in view of what he has had to say to the genate concerning it. His purpose therefore was to stop the legisiatign. He Adn't believe that the country was in any shape to adopt such a measure at this time and In frankly telling the sen- ste so he gave good and sufficient rea- ons . For taking this course in telling the senate what ought to e done concerning pending legislation the president has een oriticized. It has been pointed out is his duty to disclose conditions to congress and recommend legislation, but not appose it. That it is not a nolicy generally followed will have to be ad- mitted but circumstances are more than out of the ordinary and action in; keeping therewith was to be' expected. ‘What the president did was to direct the attention of the genate to what was being undertaken. to the condition of the ecountry at the present time and the de- trimental _effects which would be bound to follow the adobtion of such a bill. It as important that the president Jook out for the weMare of the 1 through recommendations against as well as for legisiation when the con- sequennes were bound to be as serious as this matter promised. There were good reasons for believing five years because of the lack of knowl- edge concerning their care. ' Public health nurses are doing a magnificent work in overcoming these conditions. That still greater service can be rendered is evident and whatever is urged in that direction must be regarded as a highly valuable service to humanity. The need of extending instruction in the case of the babies is evident on ev- ery hand. Plenty are the instances where it would seem that the lMttle tots |were left to care for themselves almost from the day they were born. Certainly the number turned loose is large. There are instances where such may seem to have had a hardening influence but such must be regarded as being along the line of the survival of the fittest, Father than the taking of the precautions that will rednce the heavy death rate. Many are the conditions that surround the high mortality among children. There is nee@ of mot only emphasizing parental responsibility but of furnishing instrue tions in a great many instances for the proper discharge of that duty, and cer- tainly life is too valuable to permit the waste without doing all possible to stop that death rate which can be easily re- garded as needless. ST e I REASON FOR INDIGNATION, How little responsibility some people attach to carrying out a contract, when there is an opportunity to cover up the work, is well illustrated by the disclo- sures which have been brought to light in New York city regarding tH§f arrange- ments which were made with the under- takers by the United States public health service for the burial of former sol- diers.

Kalamazoo followed the appeais for a change by making a com- plete one instead of undertaking to rem- »dy defectS which existed under the old form, and it is interesting to note that sme of the reasons for the turn about face on the commission-manager plan is the claim that it has doubled the tax |- rate. That is of course just the opposite to what is elaimed for that plan and thers are those who maintain thaf it is 3ot the plan that is responsible for the high rate, but it seems to be established that Kalamazoo is going back and in woing back it will probably do what it might have done in the first place, namely. remedy the defeets that existed at that time. The taste which the Mi- *higan city got of the new plan appears » have been bitter. —_— HAWEKER'S END, Tt ix an old saying, and no more at- tractive becanse it is old, that those born to be hanged Will never be drowned. There are many times when the point of 1t seems to be especially emphasized. One of the latest cases is that of Harry G.

We have recently had in our city a very spectacular parade (and no parade is worth looking at that is not spectacu- lar). The excellent parade that marched through-the streets of Greeneville on the! Fourth was met frequently with Such re- marks as these. “O, isn't that striking!” “Aren’t those little girls too sweet for anything?” “Isn’t that costume a peach?” And thus on for about a mile, or until the procession had passed.

You could soon tell by the streaks on his face whether that young negro was an honest son of Africa or the product of burnt cork.
