In today's other news, President Coolidge vetoed the Bonus Bill, stating that "Patriotism, which is bought and paid for is not patriotism." Ty Cobb's recent presence in the city seems to have deterred unrest.   


"Congress overrode his veto a few days later." Wikipedia has an article about the Bonus Act:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_Adjusted_Compensation_Act

Good spot, Ali!

(My dad well-remembered the Bonus Expeditionary Force...)
