The editor of the Utica Herald owes an
apology to the veterans he has slandercd'
and they ought to demand one. Our COLI
rades Of the Grand Army in Utica, and all
ex-soldiers residing in that city, should not
permit his wanton ISLANDERS to pass unnoticed,
but should call upon him to either prove HIS
OF his, they have a right to make this de
mand, Tor the good opinion ofthe community
in which they live is Of quite as much con-
sequence to them as to him, and nothing is
so well calculated to deprive them Of its
sweeping charges of fraud as the Herald has
brought against them. Indeed, to remain
silent under its malicious attacks would be
equivalent almost to an admission that the
imputations which it has cast upon their
honor are well founded. Let them,
therefore, speak out individually and
through the Posts of the Grand Army in that
vicinity, and compel the editor of the Herald
to meet the issue. If he has any evidence to
sustain his charges he should be made to pro-
duce it; if ne has none to produce, then the
least that should be required OF him is a
humble apology. Failing to comply with
either demand he viii stand before the
public as a coward and slanderer.

SOME of our Senators seem to think that
$40 month is an eXtravagant price for the
loss of leg, and TO those who regard pen
sions as mere gratuities, which the Govern
ment is under no obligation to pay, it is,
perhaps, quite natural that the price should
appear rather high. But how many men
out of our present population of fifty odd
millions would be willing, let us ask, to sub
nit to the amputation Of leg in eonsidera-
ton of a pension OF $40 per month for the
remainder of their lives? TO say nothing
of the pain and sutlering-yes, and the risk
OF fatal result-which the surgical opera
ton would involve, the physical incapacity
which ii would entail would be sufficient to
deter any sane man from entering into such
a bargain. 1t is all very well to say shat
some of our veterans seem to get along very
well with one leg; no able-bodied man was
ever willing to exchange places with a Grip
pie For losses Of property and business
and position, it is always possible to fix a
Just compensation, but by what standard of
value can the loss OF leg or an arm be
measured? Evidently the lowest estimate
that can be put upon it is that based upon
the actual deprivation OF the power to per-

THE Grand Army Scout and Soldiers NdH
recently propounded the following question:
Where can you find more Grand Army
news from every part of the country than in
this paper?' To which we naturally re-
piled as follows: In THE NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE, comrades-abOut six times more, and
for one dollar, instead of one dollar and
half per year. That such is the case any
one can see fer himself by comparing the
two papers. 1t seems. however, that this
simple statement in reply to a direct chal-
lenge from the Grand Armg Scout and Sol
diCrs' lIdH, has given offense to our contem-
porary, and it devotes more than q column
Of its editorial page to the disparagement of
The TRIBUNE and its proprietor. Such an
| exhibition Of uncharitableness is sincerely
to be regretted, and we certainly shall not
be tempted into initiating it. We say,
by way Of reply, IS we did when the
Scout first made its appearance, that it
presents pleasing appearance" and that
its editor, Commander Vandorslicc-w
has made "a record of which he may well
be proud has THE TRIBUNE's "best
wishes for success in the new enterprise
to which he is now devOting his ener-
gies and his talents" 1t is true that his
advertising card appears on the eighth page
Of his paper, but we have no doubt that he is
good lawyer and reliable attorney, and
the publication of his card is certainly no
reason why the Scout should not be patron
lied by our ex-soldiers. As for the distinc-
ton which he has gained in the Grand Army,
we cheerfully admit that it is far greater
than that which the proprietor of THE
TRIBUNE has gained and, furthermore, we
believe it to be thoroughly deserved. The
truth is, that the proprietor of THE TRIBUNE
is simply an humble worker in the ranks, and
the only distinction that has ever been con-
feued upon him was the unsolicited honor
of being appointed an Camp on the
Staff of the COmmander-in-Chief, "On &C
count" as was stated in the official order,
" OF the valuable services rendered the Grand
Army by TIE NATIONAL TRIBUNE" the
fact being that upwards of one hundred new
Posts have been established through its
instrumentality during the last six months,
as shown by the official records at National
Headquarters. To be of practical service in
the work of building up the noble Order of
which he is a simple comrade is, indeed, all
the distinction to which he aspires. THE
TRIBUNE is now taken at over ten thousand
post-ofices, and it hopes to plant Grand
Army Post at every place where there are
enough eX-soldiers to organize one. With
this work in hand it certainly has no time to
devote to petty jealOusies of any kind. We
have only the kindliest feelings for the Scout
and its editor, and if we have unintention-
ally given offense by taking issue with it on
a simple question of fact, our contemporary
should be frank enough to acknowledge that
the discussion was of its own provoking.

have it. To withhold it is virtually to com
pound felony, and one would suppose that
newspapers which profess such great anx-
iety to protect the Government against
fraud, would be the last to connive at its
preparation. Come, give US the names. We

promptness in instituting the most searching
inquiries into the facts concerning each case
and using his utmost endeavors to bring the
guilty to trial. Isn't that a fair offer? And
if these journals really have any evidence to
support their charges, isn't it about time
that they produced it?

form manual labor resulting therefrom, and
certainly $40 per month does not exceed
that minimum. The truth is that the keen
est pleasures and enjoyments of life are con-
tingent upon the possession of health and
strength, and no pension, however large,
can compensate for such a sacrifice. 1t is
within the power of the Government to Sc
cure its one-armed and one-legged veterans
against poverty; that is the least that it can
do, and that is all that they demand.

Mrs. KATE B. SHERwOoD's article de-
scriptive of the organization. purpose, and
conduct o. the Ladies' Auxiliary Society of
Forsyth Post, of Toledo, Ohio, appears to
have attracted universal attention, and
seems likely to lead eventually to the estab-
lishment of similar societies in connection
with every Post in the country. Mrs Sher-
wood writes rs that inquiries in regard to
the details Of the organization are pouring in
from nearly every Department in the country,
and the letters received at this office indicate
that the interest which this publication has
aroused IS likely TO take practical and
enduring form. This is certainly cause for
profound satisfaction, for it is the Judgment
of THE TRIBUNE, as frequently stated in
these columns that nothing will conduce so
directly 70 the welfare of the Order as the
association in its works of charity and be-
neyolcnce Of the loyal and selfsacrifcing
women of America.

IN Oneida county, New York, of which
Utica is the county seat, there are 1927 pen
sioners, who receive $fO8,93O annually from
the United States Government, or Il fraction
over $1OO apiece. Here, then, is fine field
for the exercise of the detective genius of
the Utica Herald and Observer. These jour
nails claim that great frauds exist in the
pension system, and that there are tens OF
thousands of ex-sOldiers now drawing pen
sions who are not legally entitled to them.
If they have any evidence to substantiate
this charge let them produce it! How
many of these Oneida county pensioners are
frauds? Out of the total of 1927 how
many are imposters? Can they give US the
names of tenor one per cent.-whom they
have good reason to believe are defrauding
the Government? Have they actual knowl-
edge of single case of fraud? Surely jour
nails of such pretentions to responsibility as
these would not make such sweeping
charges against the character of our pen
sOners and ex-soldiers without some tan
gible evidence of their truth What then, is
the nature Of that evidence? Come, let US

ONE Of the favorite arguments employed
by those who want the internal revenue
system abolished IS that it IS a relic of the
war. Repeal the war tazcs!7 IS their
h&ttle-cry. Now, it is perfectly true that
the internal revenue taxes are war taxes,
but it is equally true that the revenue
which they produce is needed TO meet the

IT WILL be seen by reference to our Grand
Army columns that THE TRIBUNE is now
kept On file by quite number Of Posts, and
we trust the time is not far distant when the
custom viii become universal. For pur-
poses of reference, its merit is indisputablc,
and even where the individual members of
a Post are all subscribers to THE TRIBUNE,
it is well to keep file in the Post room
1t is the only newspaper which contains a
record Of Grand Army work in every
Department Of the Order, and a year hence
a complete file of TIE TRIBUNE will be of
almost inestimable value.
