Fair Play for Soldiers.

The Press demands fair play for the
veterans of the war. The whole pen
sion question has been so shamefully
misrepresented by democratic organs
that there are fair-minded people who
actually believe some of the wild and
Intentionally misleading statements that
are appearing in journals, deliberately
creating a false sentiment on this sub
iect How many readers, for example d,
of journals like the Herald and World
could answer the question of what is
the actual pension roll of the civil war
to-day? How many readers of the
Press could answer that question off
hand? How many would say at least
one hundred millions, and how many
would say, why, one hundred and
forty millions, of course" Such an
answer would not surprise us at all in
view of the recent articles that the vet
eran-haters are sending broadcast over
the land, declaring that the pensions
will soon bankrupt the treasury and the
pension rolls reach these impossible
totals. Now for the truth. Glance at
page 10 of the annual report of the com
missioner of pensions for the year ended
June 30, 1890, and we find that
the total annual value of pensions as
shown by the roll was only S6S 1867 Psi.
That includes the 302, 800 soldiers and
the 104 ,456 widows and all the pension
ers and the widows drawing pensions
of the navy as well as the army. That
is the true annual pension roll. Will
that bankrupt the government? And
that, be it remembered, is a constantly
and rapidly decreasing roll. Over 90
600 were dropped, mostly dy death,
last year, and greater number will 90
this year. And as this army of men ST.
lently drop into the grave, many of
them FASTENED there by reason of their
patriotism, they hear around them this
almost fiendish misrepresentation and
these ghoulish attacks. A concerted
attempt is being made by the democratic
party and its leaders to confuse the
amount of money paid out for arrear-
age with the annual pension roll. In a
measure it has been successful. Aud
yet nothing can be more unjust to the
soldiers. The money thus paid goes in
lump sum and there it ends. 1t is
not an annual charge in any sense.
Within two years, therefore, the amount
paid out for pensions under existing
laws must decrease. 1t is well for re-
publicans to bear this important fact in
mind. The annual pension roll is one
thing; the total amount paid out in
some given year for pensions altogether
another.-Ne,o York Press.

"It's going to rain, you dear little bird;
Fly into the house; don't stop for a word"
ayes, saw black cloud as I sat on the tree,
But care not for ran-I have feathers, you see"
"You have feathers know, but your little pink

beat"
Oh, MOI shall tuck them up snugly and warm,
Close under my body, all safe from the storm"
but the branches will rock, and the dark night
will come;
oh do, little bird, fly away to your home
"Never fear, pretty one as rock shall sing.
And now soundly I'll sleep with my head meath my

why you're always so happy, blow high or blow

The Oldest Veteran.

The oldest comrade is now conceded
to be William Field, known affection
ately in Massachusetts, as "Grandpa
Field" He is the oldest Grand Army
veteran that served through the war.
He was born in Deerfield, October 81,
1900, and is now in his ninety. first year.
He was commissioned ensign in the
Second Regiment, Massachusetts Mi
litia, June s. 1880, and captain in the
First Regiment, June II, 1888. He was
appointed justice of the peace by Gov
ernor Marcus Morton, March II, 1910,
and reappointed by Governor John A.
Andrew, March 10, 1861. He enlisted
in Company A, Thirty-ninth Regiment,
Massachusetts Volunteers, J July 13, 1862,
and was honorably discharged June 2,
1865. He is now living in good health
and buoyant spirits at Franklin, Mass.
He was beyond the regulation age when
he enlisted, but, owing to his Young APP
pearance and sturdy build, he was &C
cepted as a soldier, and performed all
his duties during his three years. term
better than any young man in the COM
pany. He was offered the captaincy of
a company when he enlisted, but re-
fused, claiming that he had held many
positions previously, and he wanted to
be private and give the young men a
chance. Grandpa Field" is known
all over the state among Grand Army
men, and is both loved and venerated
| among his neighbors. He dislikes noto.
riety. The old veteran is still able to
take care of himself, and works regu.
larly on his farm. His amusement is
in making little trinkets to present to
his neighbors, and in attending Grand
Army encampments, where he is always
welcome guest.-Neg York Press.
