1t Is desired to correct an erroneous impress
loa that prevails to some extent, that pension
~ gtatuity-il sort of charity bestowed by
the GovernInent--and that the poor only are
entitled. Pension is neither a gratuity nor 81
charity, but Is a just though inadequate com
pensatlon TO the soldier for the impairment of
MS physical and mental ability to perform
manual labor, and is, in fact, part of his con
Tract with the Government, implied, if not ex
pressed in SO many words.
Some persons entertaining the impression
aliuded to, refrain from applying through q

the charity Of the Government; Others do not
apply by reason of possessing competency
