Bonus Army as symptom of deeper social ills
The article argues the bonus march signals a broader breakdown in the social system, with World War I veterans standing at the edge of despair while hundreds of thousands remain disengaged. It contrasts this with Denver’s fiscal restraint, noting $400,000 annual savings and tax relief from cutbacks and efficiency. The piece laments enduring waste and stresses prudent public spending as essential to future prosperity.

Washingtons Lost Peace Time Barroom Era Recalled
An aging reminiscence recalls how after a postwar march the capital’s social scene on Pennsylvan ia Avenue faded into a mellow pre machine age Washington. Veterans describe Old Madison and Shoemakers taverns, dignified barkeeps, and congressmen who drank, argued, and later shook hands as gentlemen.
