MR.. EDITOR ofttimes hear it remarked that there is
something wrong in Government in regard to paying
soldiers their pensions. The question is, who is
blame? Is it the President it Congress- is it the Com
missioner of Pensons If the latter he to blame; if he
does not abide by the laws of the Government he should
be removed from the office he holds and the
who gave him the power to hold the office has the power
to remove him. Who shall take his place? Why,
honorable and If he has but one leg,
eye, the other being lost in the service with good head
and good heart and sympathy with poor soldiers he
the for the place Boys, go for good men, AS for
the who at the head of the pension office, he
close he will keep poor, blind soldier from getting
dollar If he help it. Mr.. Hayes think you
good President, but the soldiers want who
was soldier in the Pension Office.
Respectfully, w. W. HARTMAN.
