The securing of 145'signatures
in the House to a petition favor?
ing the bringing up of the Sol
dier's^ Bonus Bill for consideration,
shows that sleeping (logs cannot
be relied upon to remain in a
somnolent state forever. ^
The payment of the bonus was
urged seriously some months ago.
The President put his foot down,
numerous other feet were put
(lawn, important matters of a dif
ferent sort claimed legislative at
tention and the honus payment
went to rest. It was awakened.
There are several points to be
considered iD connection with it.
First, there is the advisability of
handing out at this time, the vast
amount of cash that the settle
ment will call for. Perhaps that
will attract least attention, in view
«f the large-scale relief measur
is that have gone forward with-|
out opposition. If everyone else !
can have access to public- funds,
why not the soldiers? That is the
duestion that some of the bonus
advocates are asking. The second
feature that gives the legislators
ground for thought is what will
the veterans do if their demands
are turned down at this time,
and what can they be counted up
on to do if their demands are
met. When all is said and done,
no one can blame a Congressman
for doing all he can to save his
own political hide.
Finally there is to be consider
ed the point that of Congress pass
es the 'bonus measure. Congress will
bo taking its first stand; against
the Fxecutive. The plan to pay the
bonus is laden with all sorts of
difficulties. involving statecraft,
public policy, politics, duty and
expediency. How to find a way out
of the maze is a matter that is

Another change in the Cabinet
seems likely. Mr. Swanson, it ap
pears. may relinquish his porfolio
on account of poor health.' Couple
together the facts that the Secre
tary is past his three-score-and-ten
years" that bis health is not good,
and that these are strenuous tim
es, and ore arrives easily at the
conclusion that a new Secretary
may be in office, probably sooner,
than later. The maxim: "Old men
for counsel, young men for action”
will not, It is to be feared, In
duce .Mr. Swanson io ret#lij his
place,, Th* nature and the degrep
of counsel required of a cabinet
officer at this time makes the
maxim of no weight. It is not
lank of ability or willingness that
will deprive the country of the
efforts of Mr. Swanson, if he goes
it will he on account of those
infirmities from which no one is
exempt, r
A few years ago, Gen. Von Hin
dei'herg was the military man of
the hour, a glorious hour from
the German standpoint, hut an
anxious hour from the viewpoint
of the allied nations. A little lfU
er and he was elevated to the
hichest place in the civil life of
the Fatherland. His sun has set.
On Sunday, Feb. 25. the masses
placed the supreme power in the
hands of Mr. Hitler. It is true
that President von Hindenberg
still retains his office in name,
but the position must be well-nigh
intolerable to one who was a Held
marshal under the old Prussian
order. We sometimes smile at
the inconspicuous place occupied
by the Vice President of the Unit
ed Slates. He stands in front of a
bright and shining background,
compared with poor old father
Paul, the theoretical leader of the
German state, but practically no
more than a figure-head.
