(Inured his hair.
At Kelly pool, beyond a doubt, lio certainly
was there,
Hn knew tho latest dancing slops; nt bridge
hn wns a shark. "
Ho wasn't very much by day, hut a wonder
after dnrk.
It mattered very little what tho function or
. affair.
Iff Willi? Wise It could be said he certainly
was there.
Ha was there with all the lino of talk that
fillH tho Idle hours,
At posing In the limelight's glare he had un
usual powers.
He wore the latest things In clothcu nnd foil
for funny hats,
Ho had a watch upon bis wrist and dressed
tils feet in spats,
Ho vnj perfection all thu time; ho wore silk
underweiir.
In dress and milliner, I (diould say, ho ccr-
tiilnly was there.
You could depend on Willie Wlso he'd tell
you so himself.
In n witt em social no one here would leave
htm on the shelf.
Ho knew convention's rules and laws from
A to and then
11a had some little olever tricks unknown to
many men.
At tea or dinner, opera, show or church
bazaar or fair,
He'd shlno among thn shiniest, for he wan
eurely there!
Hut when It came to honest toll and duties
bard to face,
It seemed to us that Willie Wise was sadly
out of place.
He didn't like Ihe office grind and hnd no
uso for.work.
And wouhlb't carry any load which somehow
ho could shirk.
He blundered everything ho tried, and didn't
eem to care,
I'or when It came to making Koodhn simply

.Mr. HaBiii) KiplaliiN.
Kdllor World: It Is with no little reluctance
that I request the privilege of trespassing upon
your Bcnoroslly or tho purpose of noticing, to
so li I o extent, thn letter relative to bonuses for
soldiers, appearing In your Issuo for February
23rd and signed A. Davidson, 'Mr. Davidson
further subncrlliPH himself "Member of Dollglnsi
County l'imt." As thero Is no such legion pqst
In Oklahoma, I tnke It that Mr. Davidson Is n
visitor In tho slate. However, I nni nop Inclined
lo object to his criticism o that ground, al
tUnUBh, of course, I.would naturally attach mnro
Importance to It had It emanated from u mem
ber of the Oklahoma branch of the legion,
Mr.' Davidson's letter seems to be double bar
relled. Tho soldiers who did not get overseas
are thn victims of one- barrel, while the entlro
clA'Hluu population Is the object of tho attack of
thn other.
So far tin thero Is concerned the men who
did not servo overscoH, I deslro to call Mr.
Davidson's attention to thn fact Unit ho Is en
tirely mlslakcu when ho assumes that tho bonus
plan, approved by the. national cxecutlvo com
mittee, contemplates n graduated scalo. It pro
pones to give a. JC0 bond for overy month of
service nnd thero Is absolutely nothing In the
nutllno of thu plan submitted to iirdlcato that
the man who spent two years with thn First di
vision will obtain a cent more than the nmu
who served two years on this side. So tho in
sinuation that my objection wns really to a
"graduated bonus" necessarily loses Its point
So far as Mr. DavhUon's onslaught on tho
civilian pollination is cuncerneo, I cannot escape
the conviction that the great bulk of thn civilian
population is composeil or thp father and moth
ers and wives and lirotlicm and sisteru of those
who w,i're lu (.ervlcn, and I doubt very much
whether they ileservo sir. Davidson s diatribe.
Mr. Davidson appears to think that wo In
Oklahoma tire selfish and are unmindful of our
"poorer buddies" In tho east. If is hardly ncces
sary to call Mr. D.ivldson'M attention tu the fact
that tho opposition to the action of tho national
executive committee comes from all sections of
the country mid Is not restricted to Oklahoma.
So far as the cast Is concerned, it might he

Issued ringing protests,
Mr. Uavhls'on. refers to my "denunciation of'
Mr. D'Ollcr," tho national commander of the
legion. My letter was directed solely ugulnst
the action of u minority of tho national execu
tive committed and did not contain n syllahlo
that could, by tho most elastic stretch of tho
Imagination, bo termed denunciation. So far ax
Mr. D'Ollcr Is concerned, the writer has for
hint the deepest respect and esteem.
Mr. Davidson asserts that the returned over

writer of this letter haH visited ninny posts of
thn legion lu this slain and does not hesitate to
say that such a statement is Incorrect o far as
Oklahoma is concerned, From actual experi
ence with conditions In Oklahoma. 1 have
formed the conclusion that returned overseas
men form the hulk of the membership of tho
legion lu this statu and furnish Its iiiont active
workers.
I c.uitiot refrain from observing that tho en
tire tono of Mr. Davidson's letter Is, In my
opinion, most regrettable and the sentiments
hp cherishes nro not those held hy tho great
majority of the legion nicmbors in this stale
and nro not such us will help to make tho
American legion a great factor for tho promo
tion of the Boncral wolfnVo of our country but,
on the contrary, they will necessarily force tho
I.eBion to degenerate Into nn organization whose
primary purpose Is tho ohtnlnlng front tho gov
ernment of material benefits for Its members.
Tim writer of this letter U not opposed to all
beuefical legislation for ex-service men. Ho
believes that tho leBlon must adopt, as practi
cally Its chief obligation, the obtaining of tho
moit llberul compensation possible for wounded
and disabled mnn and for tho whows and or
phans of thosiS who died in the service. Jin also
believes that tho government should promptly
extend land nld to tho veterans of this war and
should, by liberal loans, on the easiest possible
plan of payment, assist them In obtaining homes,
Such plans work for permanent relief and also
are of great benefit to tho country, for undoubt
edly tho homo owner Is tho backbone of tho
nation. Hut tiny plan of a cash bonus Is neces
sarily Inadequato and temporary so far as relief
Is concerned: and Is, 'moreover, certain further
