EDlroR JOURNAL While many are enlist.
ing for the defence of their country, many
plans have been suggested for providing for
the ''loved ones they leave behind;' and
while they rest in tho assurance that our
patriotism will not permit dependent famil-
les to suffer, yet it has been left for indi-
vidual subscription to provide for SO delicate
and important a demand ; and after the ex-
element subsidies, many who feel delicacy
in asking private aid will be left to struggle
with perjury and want, while husband and
father perhaps have laid down their lives to
secure to US the blessings of free govern.
ment. But even suppose they will all be
provided for, (Which is hardly supposable
case, ) still the objection arises that it must
be done by very small portion of the prop
erty holders of the State, which is notjustice.
