LABOR DAY.
fii OVERWHELMING majority of
ithe people of this United States
are supported by Labor. The census
0920 shows that there are approx-
imaiely seventy-five millions of Amer
leans who are directly dependent up-
saLabor for their daily bread while
& minority live on the product of
Labor and apparently at leant di-
rect and control Labor.
(This is not propaganda. It is not
antlcapltallst preachment The mul
tiplied millions of men who work with
their hands who keep the wheels of
commerce and industry turning who
produce the nation's raw materials
constitute .the largest division of the
nation's citizenship and the most im
portant. Despite our progress in the
affairs of the world despite America's
outstanding position in the commerce
andf sol itlcs and finance of all the
nations of the globe this is a nation
ot workers and producers; and its
commanding position can be main-
tained only by perpetuation of the
present ratio of workers in the citi-
zenshlp. ''On this Labor Day the American
worker finds himself in a position of
greater security than at any time In
all the history" ot the country Hte
rights have been given full recogni-
tionr and are now guaranteed not only
by the Constitution and supplemen-
tary legislation but by the sentiment
of the people themselves. The con-
ditions under which he works are
more favorable than are those of the
workers of any other nation under the
sun. By reason of his strength In
numbers and his co-operation with his
fellows through protective organiza-
tions he is able to secure for him-
self anything that Is right and equit-
able. The nationwide celebration bi(
Labor Day Is a tribute not only to his
strength but to his Importance in the
every-day life of the republic; not a
tribute to Labor as a class ior there
can be no classes in a free Democra-
cy but to Labor as it typifies the
American people themselves by rea-
son of the commanding majority con-
trolled by Labor in the citizenship of
the. country.
Vlnces us that the Legionnaires of this
state are losing their interest in the
JoHg.protracted tight for a government
paid bonus. The Bulletin has repeat-
sdly declared the opinion that a min-
ority and not a majority of theLeg
THE SOLDIER BONUS.
IN THE RECENT state convention of
the. American Legion of Texas it
wis generally understood that the
questions of the "adjusted compensa-
tion" or soldier bonus and the Ku
Klux Klan were to be taboo. Nobody
apparently was anxious to hear either
question discussed although the Leg-
Jon had already gone on record as fav-
oring the bonus and was. pledged to
support the efforts of the national
Lgion. organization to force through
Congress an adjusted compensation
measure. The Klan Issue was much
evident in thT convention politics but
waf'kept out of the convention dls-
CBHiopS.
''It remained for Senator Morris
MB;Prd to thrust the bonus question
the Bra8 of tbe convention
m ft was KWy surprising to him
te Bote tlM lBkewam reception It re-
iohnatres and other ex-service men of
the country were supporting the bonus
proposals and that if the national
leaders of the Legion were to lose
their enthusiasm for it the so-called
"adjusted compensation" agitation
would die overnight. There are scores
of ex-service men in every locality
who have so ardently opposed the
bonus that they have declined to join
the Legion because of its avowed
championship of the "adjusted com
pensation" measures. At this time the
membership of the Legion in Texas
Is only 138 or about 6 .per cent of
the ex-service men of the state who
are' eligible for membership. With
out question a large number of those
who have refrained from becoming
members of the organization have
been actuated by a determination not
to give support to the bonu3 move
ment.
-AJ-this tlmeLegion. leaders are con
fidently predicting that the next Con
gress will enact bonus legislation
wJUia. provision for financing it with
the payments made by the British gov-
ernment on its war debt. Mr. Shop-
pard supported this prediction in his
speech at Galveston last week. If the
prediction Is well founded the pay
ments tofoe made under the "adjusted
Ofripcasatlon" measure would be
spread out over a period ot twenty
years or more and while they would
absorb the entire British war debt
they would be of slight benefit to any
ex-service man sharing lu the pay
ments. Whatever may be the out
come of this matter however it seems
to The Bulletin that those ex-service
men who are rerusmg to join tne
Legion on account of the bonus agita-
tion are denying themselves a prlv
ilege. and are deliberately neglecting
the call of duty because they have
power to make the Legion whatever
they would like for it to be if they
would. become members and sharc in
Its work. The American Legion is
destined to become one of the great-
est of all American organizations and
Its entlre future will be shaped tio
large extent by those who control it
during the first few years of Jts ex-
istence Bonus or no bonus there-
fore : every ex-service man should
affiliate with the Legion and help to
mak It a truly representative organ
ization exprsslng the majority sentl-
ment'Qf the veterans ot the world war
and able to command the support of
a majority of the veterans.

A splendid illustration of the need
for parking regulations designed to
keep the streets open for moving traf

noon. Every street In the downtown
section was Imed with parked auto
mobiles most of which had been
standing still the larger part of the
entire day while the narrow lanes
ept open for moving traffic were lit
erally Jammed with cars and all traf
fic was slow and difficult We must
get mis idea wen .grounded in our
minds good people that the streets
must be kept open for vehicles that
are going somewhere and that vehl
cles standing still must be kept out
of the way of moving traffic. Parking
automobiles flat against the curb will
provide wider space for moving cars
and will speed up traffic on the busy
streets.
