Ay, E are determined to get to the very bottom of : this matter,” Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, man of the special senate committee to investigate Veterans’ bureau, declared last autumn. After several p of public hearings, revelations of an astounding acter, involving highly placed republicans and mds of the administration, came to light. | Rather abruptly, the hearings were brought to a close. The explanation was made that sufficient irregularities had already been found to be used as a basis for a report to the senate. | Now, many weeks later, Gen. John F. O’Ryan, the com- i e’s counsel, prepares a report on the findings. Pub- “Hication of this report aroused the ire of Senator Reed fo such a point that he denounced it before the senate asked his fellow senators to withhold their judgment til they received a report which had been “edited” by Is that getting to the very bottom of the matter? Why “edit” O’Ryan’s report? Let’s have the truth, matter how bitter it may be. “Forty dep.t'es get round trips to Texas to gather Mayfield ballots for senate recount. If the senate committee keeps on spending money that to find out how much Mayfield spent getting elected, another senate ittee may have to investigate the expenses of the investigation.

ELIZABETH QUIGL 1616 Sixth Ave. ASHINGTON, Jan, 16.-— Alarmed because the house apropriations committee went Budget Director Lord one better in alleing the appropriations for reclamation projects, Western representatives and senators are lining up to flight to save recia- mation, Thetr activity probably will not break out Into open houtility to tho adminiatration's antl. reclamation ideas until after the reclamation fact-finding eommit- too appointed by Becretary Work has made ita report. In the interior department ap- propriations bill, which t# the first big measure to reach the BY C. A. RANDAU floor of the house, it is provided that expenditures on all recla- fiscal mation projects for th year ending June $0, 19 veduced to $9,946,000, a» com- pared with an expenditure of $12,500,000 for the year ending June 90, 1924, A month ago Budget Director Lord recommended that the ex- penditure be reduced to $10,981, 000, Despite tho volume of eritl- clam that arose from all over the West against the budget direct or’s low estimates, the appropria- tion committes, at the dictation of Hecretary Work, proceeded to cut the figures even more dras tleally. . itl eesetsoairtahcl ae 1 boy came home from high school and had a talk with dad, He was impressed mightily by what ho wi pleased to call “the student body,” and he sald some things that indicated he was loftily thinking, in a boyish way, of class distinctions, and societien, of comparisons in birth and stand- ing and religion of hiy fellow #tu- dents, This or that student, you Understand, was not his equal or the equal of certain other of his fellows, and, therefore, must be frowned upon or ontracized en- tirely, Dad opened his eyes, #0 the Kansas City Star says, and then he “handed the kid some- thing” he hopes the latter will re- member. “Bon,” sald dad, impressively, but kindly, “don't get the idea you are better than nomebody else be- cause of the way you were born. If you were born tn such a way as to have any advantage in this world, that's your luck; you had nothing to do with it. You might HELPFUL BIRTH! From a Dad to His Son have been born of any other race, in any other country. You might have been worse off or better off than you are, but you would have had not one thing to do with it. “Remember, too, that religion in pretty much what you are born to, Children are likely to belleve in the religion of thelr parents, just as thelr parents before them, and so on, 80, don't you think the religion of your family Is the only religion, or look down on the faith of others. “Remember always, son, it ts not how you were born, but how you live that counts, It is not what race you belong to, but how you honor your race and human- Uy. Only this, my son: If your birth gives you any advantage, that much more is expected of you. Your only claim to superior. ity is what you do, for what you do tells what you are.” May this boy and all other boys remember for their own good and the good of all society, LICKINGS BY DR. M. W.

Tho loophole that authorizes Becre- tary Work to spend less than he takes in is the fallure of the law to provide that the money be returned to reclamation projects at once, It may be used at any time in the future. The basin for the “watchful waiting” attitude that is being taken by many Western con. gressmen {s the fact that Becre- tary Work’s special advisory commission, formerly known as the facttinding commission, ia now engaged in an examination of the entive reclamation project, These congressmen believe that they will be in a stronger post- tion to demand more money if they walt for the commission to make its report than if they pro ceed at once, Frieda’s Follies WHO DOESN'T take an interest IN THEIR next-door neighbor's at- faire?
