THE PENSION BUSINESS

The only way TO reduce the pension ap.
preparations Is to repeal the pension laws,
and take away the pensions of all or OF a
part OF those now receiving them. is the
Democratic party prepared to do this2 II
IL is, will the World or some other organ
declare that policy ? If not, why then howl
about the "pension burden? ?n The charge
of fraud is false one, and those making
it know that 1t is so.-Toledo Blade.
The Blade does not know much about
the pension business. If it did, it wou d
know that 1t was not possible for Pen
sion Commissioner Raum to issue 400,
600 new Pension certificates (27 years
after the war;, in eighteen months, and
have them ali meritorious. If so, how
did it happen that these 100000 merit
orious soldiers were denied their
just claims for q years, under Republi
can administrations.
The Democratic policy on pensions
ought not to be difficult to define. We
should give liberal pensions to all true
and abiding soldiers who were in
jured in camp, bivouac or battle, during
the war, or who are suffering now from
disability contracted in the service. At
the same time no soldier should be
pensiOned who fought in no
battles, or who did no service,
either in camp, bivouac or battle, during
the war, but who has ruined his health
since the war by dissipation, or a disso-
lute life. If this policy il adopted the
pension list, now calling for yearly
outlay of over $200,000,000, can be
reduced to S125, 100000, and the worthy
soldiers, who we're disabled in the war,
will get more pensions than they do
now. Certainly, there should be no
politics in pension legislation.
Here is our position:
Liberal pensions for the real soldiers;
no pensions for those who did no service
and contracted no disability
What do you say, Mr., Blade, to this
position?

The Book Elves.

The witches get in my books, know,
Or else it's fairy elves
For when | study they plague me so
| feel like one of themselves.
Often they whisper, Come and play;
The sun is shining brightm
And when fling the book away
They nutter with delight.
They dance among the stupid words,
And twist the rules awry,
And fly across the page like birds,
Though | can't see them fly.
They twitCh my feet, they blur my eyes,
They make me drowsy, too;
In fact the moro n fellow tries
To study the worse they do.
They can't be heard, they can't be seen
know not how they look
And yet they always lurk between
The leaves of n lesson book.
Whatever they are cannot tell,
But this is plain as day:
Inever'll be able to study well
AS long as the book elves stay.

Capt. Alexant er Says an Anti.OptiOn
Bill Will Pass.
Washington Post.

Mr.. Alexander, of North Car
DINA, says that it will be a
measure that willsuppress fic
titious Uuying and selling,
and yet will tinterfere with
what the commercial world
calls legitimate trading. "All
the witnesses we have heard
ne says, "say that they are
willing that the selling of op-
tions should he suppressed,
but they do not make a clear
definition between the selling
of options and futures. NV
opinion is that if the Board
Of Trade of Chicago, or in
any other place, offered a bill
that would certainly prevent
fictitious buying and selling,
while at the same time if it
did not interfere with legiti-
mate trade, the committee
would adopt unanimously.
1t will take some time to
frame the bill, but. when it is
framed it will pass the House
perhaps not by a!two-third
vote, but certainly by an am
pile majority.
