OUR POLICY:
To support such measures aa are unquestionably lor the good ol
Mason Comity as au entire community, rather than such propositions
as are in favor of the individual interest, or of one section as against
another.. And likewise to earnestly and consistently oppose all things
Mt are not for the good of the county as a whole.
THE VETO
It was an ungracious task the President was confronted with by
the passage of the Bonus bill, but the condition of the country left
hi mlittle choice. It is misleading to speak of the bonus as something
,owed to the veterans of the world war, because the obligations of the
contract had been, or are being, met. In the wider sense of what the
country owes to the men who served it in the war the debt can nevt
be discharged.
A country at war needs so many soldiers that it is impossible to
compensate them on the basis of civilian earnings. It can do little
more than provide for their necessities in the service and subsequent
ly so far as their ability to earn their living is impaired. This is not
discharging the nation's debt to the soldiers, but it is as much of it
as any country can discharge.
Upon our entering the war the pay of soldiers was doubled and
a vast scheme of war risk insurance was established, involving some
payment by the men, but a large part of the payment was by the
country. This project was undertaken with the expectation that it
would take the place of the pension system, which has been subject
to a ereat deal of abuse since the civil war. But the President en
tertains no doubt, and we presume no one does, that as the survivors
of the world war become old pensions will be voted to them, regard.
Wa of the navments on account of war risk insurance. For many
vears after the civil war the men who fought in it were pensioned
onlv for disabilities incurred in the service. Later this was extended
to disabilities not incurred in serv ice or during the period of enlist
ment, and finallv Mr. Roosevelt's dictum that old age is a disability
was applied to all veterans over 65.
The President notes that in the current fiscal year we are payin
more than half a billion dollars on hospitalization and care of sick
and wounded, on compensation and vocational training for the dis
abled, and for insurance. Next year these items will fall little short
of a half a billion. About 100,000 veterans are having vocational
traininff: nearlv 20.000 have completed this training, and many of
these are earning more than they did before they entered the service
There has been paid to disabled men and their dependent relatives
$480,000,000, and 175,000 disables veterans are now receiving com
pensation along with medical or hospital care where needed. Those
who have received nothing are the young, healthy men who came out
of the war uninjured and who have hardly yet reached their max
imum earning capacity.
. Besides the loans made to our Allies and the considerable part
of our war expenses defrayed from taxation, the country incurred a
debt of 15 billions and it will take a long time to discharge this. We
nra ntill navinE' interest and nensions on account of the civil war. The
country could not pay the bonus without levying additional taxation
and the business of the nation now is suffering from heavy taxes.
Congress was indisposed to levy a sales tax, which seemed to the
President the onlv way of meeting the charge. A bond issue of three
billions or more would have had a very serious effect upon the bus
iness of the country. That the nation is no position to pay the bonus
was admitted by the supporters of a bill which would have paid the
greater part of the bonus in three-year notes, which the recipients
would have discounted, but at the expiration of the three years the
country would have to levy a new tax to redeem the notesi an ar
rangement which was open to, very serious objection.
But the injured veterans have received substantial evidences of
the country's gratitude beyond anything previous in this or any
other country, and as all the survivors incur the further disability
og old age they will undoubtedly be pensioned, and the scale of pen
sions has been rising steadily for 50 years. The generous care of the
disabled and the old is really about all the country can do. Phila
delphia. Record.

Messiah through the ages of captivity,
persecution and humiliation which to
them must have seemed long and
dreary and dark. No sign appeared. No
prophet appeared. Isaiah, Ezeklel.
Amos, Hosea, had preached to deaf
ears and unrolled visions before those
who were as If blind; then four hun
dred years passed with no prophet In
Israel; no longer was open warning
or sign from God. They might look
back Into their history with rejoicing
when thinking of how God had load

He had graciously fed them but to

would not die until their eyes had

morning they might awake to see His
banner planted on the hills around
about Jerusalem. At any hour they
believed they might hear the trumpet
o fthe Redeemer sound to call the
faithful to unsheath their swords.

A PRESIDENT OF COURAGE AND CONVICTIONS.
In his action yesterday with regard to the bonus legislation Pres
ident Harding revealed himself to the American people as a man of
courage and as a Chief Executive who puts sacred duty ahead of per
sonal, political consideration.
In returning the bonus measure to Congress without his approval
end in opposition to the tremendous pressure of his own party, Pres
ident Harding had consideration for the common sense of the situa
tion, with the Government staggering as it is under its enormous
burden of debt.
The President's objections to the measure as set forth in his
message arc so sound, and so clear, and bo convincing that they will
have the indorsement of all thinking America. There is no escape
for the unbiased and unprejudiced mind from complete concurrence
in the logic, the truth and the force of the President's unanswerable
argument.
For courage, for deep sense of duty, for splendid guardianship
of the sacred trust he assumed as President of the United States,
there has been nothing finer in any act of any Chief Executive since
ihe founding of the Government.
Whatever the cost to Mr. Harding's political future doesn't mut
ter, since it is a bigger thing and a better thing for the President of
the United States to be right, to he honest with the job lie holds, to
be honest with the people who gave him his great trust than to be
returned for u second term to that great trust.
But the truth is that the man who disregards selfish considera.
tions for conscientious public service strengthens himself with tho
people. Jt is the coward who cringes to political clamor, not the
strong man, and Mr. Harding now stands out before the American
people, and the world, as a mun who has the strength and the force
oi character to make good in a supreme test between selfishness and
duty. New York Herald.

98 Out of Every 100 Women
Benefited
An Absolutely Reliable Statement
Important to Every Woman
Remarkable Results Shown by a Nation
Wide Canvass of Women Purchasers of
Lydia E. Pmkham's Vegetable Compound.
50,000 Women Answer
For some time a circular lias been
enclosed with each bottle of our
medicine bearing this question:
"Have you received benefit from
taking Lydia E. Pin'cham's Veg
etable Compound?"
Replies, to date, have been re
ceived from over 50,000 women
answering that question.
98 per cent of which say YES.
That means that 33 out of every
100 women who take the medi
cine for the ailments for which
itisrecomrsendedare benefited
by it
This is a most remarkable record
of efficiency. We doubt if any
other medicine in the world
equals it.
Think of it on'y two women
out of 100 received no benefit
98 successes out of a possible 100.
Did you ever hear of anything
like it? We must admit that
we, ourselves, are astonished.
Of course we know that our med
icine does benefit thelarge major
ity of women who take it. But
that only two out of 100 received
no benefit is most astonishing.
It only goes to prove, however,
that a medicine specialized for
certain definite ailments not a
cure all one that is made by the
most scientific process; not from
drugs, but from a combination
of nature's roots and herbs, can
and dees do more good than
hastily prepared prescriptions.
You see, we have been making,
improvingand refiningthis med
icine for over 50 years until it is
so perfect and $o well adapted to
women's needs that it actually
has the virtue to benefit 98 out of
every 100 women who take it.
It's reliability and recognized
efficiency has gained for it a sale
in almost every country in the
world leading all others.
Such evidence should induce every woman suffering from
any ailment peculiar to her ecu to try Lydia E. Pinkhanr
Vegetable Compound and see if she can't be one of the 98

RESISTAXT LEAF STUU'
REDrCE BOOT ROT DAMAGE.
Lexington, Ky., Root rot of tobac
co which causes Kentucky growers
heavy losses each year, can be checked
by the use of diseaee-reslstant strains
of lear, according to results obtained
during the summer Just past by 46
Payette county farmers who cooper
ated with County Agent W. R, Gabbert
and the extension division of the Col
lege of Agriculture in growing resist
ant strains of burley by the side of
common varieties on their farms. Re
sults obtained by the Fayette county
farmers are In line with those being
obtained by more than 250 other farm
ers scattered over the burley and dark
tobacco sections of the state who also
conducted similar demonstrations.
More than 80 per cent, o fthe 46 Fay
ette county demonstrators have shown
their confidence in the resistant varie
ties by saving seed from them for next
year's plantings.
In many of the Fayette demonstra
tions, the resistant varieties not only
made more rapid growth than the
common varieties but also were mora
uniform. In each of the demonstra'
tions, the resistant and common varie
ties were grown side by aide on the
same flold and given the same treat
ment
In 20 out of the 46 cases, plants
from the resistant strains averaged
from four to 12 inches taler than
those from common varieties while
the common variety made the fastest
growth in two cases. There was no
noticeable difference in the rate of
growth in 24 of the demonstrations.
Plants from the resistant varieties
showed more uniformity, than those
from the common varieties In 18 of tbo
demonstrations whllo the variety com
monly grown showed most uniformity
In two cases. Twenty-six of the dem
onstrattona failed to reveal any dif
ference In the uniformity of the two
types. However, It was found that
where no difference could be noted In
the rate of growth and uniformity of
the two types that the demonstrations
were conducted on either new blue
grass sod or ground that had been In
grass, clover or timothy for several
years. In each of these cases observa

waa in line with the fact that root rot
Is most apt to be present in soils
where tobacco has been grown for two
