Pensions for Soldiers widows.
fFrous the AankatO (KaH.l Rersese.l


Congress has been celebrating on bill to
pension granddaughter OF Thomas Jefferson.
We should think it might with profit deliber-
ate a short time on a bill to pension widows of
soldiers in the late war without their being
obliged to furnish proof of their husbands dis
ability. 1t should be enough to prove that
they were the wives of soldiers. There are
thousands whose husbands have died since the
war, presumably from breaking down of the
forces of nature, weakened oy exposure during
the war, leaving them to earn their own living
and in many instances with children to main
tain. Had the soldiers who have died and
left widows been at home making money in
stead of fighting for their country. they might
still be alive and comfort and protection. in
tead of a sad remembrance TO their wives and
children, or at least have left something for
their support. The sons of these patriotic
mothers are the ones who will spring TO arms
at the future calls of their country, and their
mothers should have the help of that coun-
try to assist in educating and fitting them
to intelligently maintain that for which their
fathers fought. Their daughters. too, will be
the brave girls and women who, If danger
threatens, will inspire their husbands and
brothers with courage, and, if need be. make
the greatest sacrifice On earth as their mothers
did These widows should be- under the especial
care of the Government, and never allowed to
suffer OF be in want. They are OF vastly more
value than the rich bondholders, who are able
to take care of themselves. and for which the
Government has done so much. 1t matters not
