The Bonus Bill.
(Hartford Courani) .

“The Courant" has expressed its
views concerning the bonus bill ve-
toed by the president. “'6 go along
with him in feeling that tho expen-
ditures proposed by it will not bone-
ilt to any considerable extent the
veterans it is supposed to aid. “'13
were convinced that Congress should
have stood by the president and sus-
tained his veto.

Ile courageously did what he con-l
sideer the right thing and public
sentiment was with him. Congress
preferred to play politics and re-
passed the bill which now becomes
a. law. But as was said at s. time of a
much more serious crisis. God reigns
lives. The
Country will not be ruined because
of the mmey that will be paid to
the ex-soldiers during the next 20
years.

That Senators Brandegee and Mc-
Lean acted contrary to the wishes of
a great majority of their constituen-
sy in voting to repass the bill over
the President's veto is too obvious
to need argument. The fact re.
mains that there can not. however.
he brought against them the charge
that they voted as they did because
of any selfish consideration for their
own political fortunes. Neither of
the Connecticut senators is up for
rec-election this fall. Senator Bran-
dccee's term does not expire until
1929, and that of Senator McLean
until 192;.

Reason Enough
(Chicago News)

A. burglar was charged with hav—
ing broken into a house and as-
saulted one of the occupants. The
man who had been injured was in
the witness box.

“You say you had called to see
Miss Billings and that you were in
the sitting room with her at the time
the burglary was committed?" asked
counsel for the defense.

“Yes sir." 'rcplied the witness.

“Then how." continued the attor-
ney. "did’t happen that. when- the
prisoner dashed into the room and
assaulted you, you leaped through
one of the windows and rushed
home. making no attempt to defend
the’ young lady or summon help?"

"I thought it was her father!"
was the all~suming reply.

The Influence of Our Feelings On
Our Judgnlcnts

Our judgments concerning the
worth of things big or little. deplnd
on the feelings the things ‘arousc in
us.
Where we judge a thing to be
precious in consequence of the idea
to frame of it, this is only because
the idea. is itself associated already
with a feeling. ,

If we were radically feeling-less.
and if ideas were the only things our
mind could entertain. we should lose
all our likes and dislikes at a stroke
and be unable to point to any one
situation or experience in lite more
valuable or significant than any
other.

This was the conclusion of \Yitllam
James. American pnilosopher. set
down in an essay "On a Certain
Blindness in Human Beings." con-
cerning "the blindness with which
we all are afflicted in regard to the
feeling of creatures and people dif-
ferent from ourselves."

“\\’e are practical human beings,
each of us with limitgd .t‘unctions
and duties to pcrforin. Each is
bound to.feel intensely the import-
ance of his own duties and the size
nlficance of the situations that call
these forth. But this feeling is in
each of us a vital secret. for sym—
pathy with which We vainly look
to others. The others are too much
absorbed in their man vital secrets
to take an interest in ours.

"Hence the stupidity and injustice
in our oplnlons. so far as they deal
with the significance of alian lives.

 

Hence the falsity of our judgments.
so for as they presume to declds in
an absolute way the value of other
persons’ conditions or’ ideals.

your conduct is absolutely excluded

“A. P. of L. OPPOSISS BOTH

SAYS GOMPERS.

The non-revolutionary character
of the policy of the American Fed-

nation of the executive to do every-
thing in its powcr to combat the
llsrupting influences of independ-
ent. dual. seceding. and national or-
ganiaations organized to weaken in-
ternational unions, was emphasized
by Samuel Gompers. veteran presi—
dent of the federation. in two state-
ments issued recently in Canada.
while attemdlng meetings there.

As its name implies the American
Federation of Labor embraces in its
struggles. its_hopes and aspirations.
the workers of all America. regard-
less of race, color. creed. sex or no.-
tionality. It is a movement of the
workers by the workers and for the
betterment of all mankind.

Destruction Not Needed

"Unlike European labor move-'

present social structure must be first
destroyed in order that an improved

DINNER STORIES:

A New York theatrical company
paid 9. visit to Sing Sing and gave
a performance. One member of the
company was just a little embar-
rassed by his visit. Ile struck up
an acquaintance with a prisoner of
literary tastes and there was a long
discussion about books. \Vhen he
left he promised to send the inmate
a. novel in which he It‘d expressed
great interest.

"You_ know. he‘s sent that book
back to me." the Actor told a friend
several days later. "He wants my
autograph."

"\Vhat's the harm in that?" tho
friend asked.

"Well. you see." he responded.
"he's serving his third term in Sing

When the roll was called in the
Senate yesterday on the motion to
pass the Bonus bill over President
Coolidge's veto, the first vote cast
against the-President came from
Fran B. Brandegec of Connecticut.

Nineteen Republicans and seven
Democrats voted to sustain the
President. Among the nineteen Re-
publicans. both Senators from Con-
necticut were conspicuous by their
absence. . ,

Yet both then senators had heard
tram their state during the last'
week in terms that could not e

JOSEPH CAILLAUX—

The recent coup of the radical
socialls't in France heralds the polit~
ical comeback of M. Joseph Call-
xlaux. former premier and war out-
least. in the opinion of many students
of French politics. Caillaux has
been one of the leaders of the radi-
cal party. even during the years of
his exile.

He is recognized as the 'brains
and driving power behind the liber-
al clement. He is a. sworn foe of
Poincare and his militaristic faction.

Calllaux‘s political career began

in 1898 when he was first elected to
the chamber of deputies from Ms.-
mera. his home district. The follow-
ing year he was named minister of
finance under Waldeek Rousseau.
He held the post for three years
and later. from 1906 to 1909. held
the same post under Georges Clem-
snceau.
In 1911 he became prime minister
only to be overthrown. he charges.
by the thou President Poincare be-
he favored s. rspproschement
with Germany. He charges be
avoided sat. with Germany in the
Agsrdir crisis and blames that for
his subsequent downfall. In 1913
he became finance minister for the
fourth time.

Then came the Cernette affair.
His Wife shot Gaston Calmette, edit-
or of Figaro. who was attacking
Ceillaux in his paper. At her trial
she said she did it to save her honor.
Her prosecutors said she did it to
prevent Cameiic making public:
Psi-aft charges against Calliaux.

Cslllsux refused to V“whoop-it~up"
for a vigorous profiution of the
hr in 1914. He was accused of be-
ing friendly with the enemy. Even-
tually he was banished. He charges
his arrest and banishmerfi were set-
uated by political reasons.
