A Few Suggestions.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Your edi-
torial in the issue of Aug. 10 is complete
answer to the Commissioner of Pensions
and the soldier-hating press l hope that a
test case will be taken to the Supreme Court
for final adj Indication, on the following points
argued and submitted for the decision of
the Court:
First, that all pensions granted under ex-
listing laws are grants of the Government
the same as military land-warrants and
patents issued to railroads, schools, etc. !;
that such pensions are as much private
property as house or farm.
Second, that such pensions cannot be can
celled except in cases of actual fraud.
Third, that actual fraud must be made
out and proven by the Government.
Fourth, that no pension shall be stopped
until actual fraud is proven and an oppor-
tunity given to the claimant to take an
appeal to the Court.
Fifth, that in all cases Of information
given to the Commissioner of Pensions a
copy of the information should be immedi-
ately forwarded to the pensioner, with the
names and residences of the informers.
Sixth, that a pension when duly granted

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: While our
Grand Army of the Republic is sowing the
seeds of loyalty and fostering true Ameri-
canism, there is still an open field that we
can till profitably in the remaining few
| years that are yet left us. The population
OF this part OF Michigan is from 50 to So per
cent. of foreigners. The chief industry is
mining. A large portion of the people are
! entirely ignorant of the English language /:
while many come from England, principally
| from Cornwall, but nearly all are utterly
| Ignorant of our history, even our form of
Government. While one cannot say that
they are illiterate, they are not educated
! A large portion are Italians and Fin
| landers, also some Swedes. The most of
| these four naionalties are only here to stay
while they can make money, when they in
tend going back to their native countries.
They contribute very little 10 our wealth !;
but still certain portion, aud generally
the most intelligent ones intend to make

desire to pay very little attention to the
older ones, but will speak of the rising genera
ton While IN the midst of the above we have
good schools, and in the most of them an at
patriotism, yet do not wish to see the matter
rest here. For instance, the GAR. now
everywhere joins with the schools to observe
Memorial Day, and thus our GAR. and
the school children are every year coming
nearer each other Now, this is the point /
wish TO come at. j for one want to see our
relationship with the schools made closer.
and perhaps more lasting, and would make
this suggestion:
There should be committee appointed
whose duty it should be to draft a simple
obligation IA few words, vowing allegiance
| to our country and our flag. Such obliga-
ton should be couched in such simple words
that any child of 10 years could easily
understand its meaning and no one could
object to; and this committee should also
adopt badge that should have meaning.
with the obligation, and each child taking
this obligation should be presented with
one Of these badges, and this should be all
done under the control of the GA. r., W.RC.
and S. of Y.
AS have already stated, this section of
Michigan is composed principally of foreign
ers. Last Fall we observed Columbus Day.

throat cheered in way that Just made our

These patriotic demonstrations must have
good influence and lasting one on the

built of steamboats, being, anchored so as to

His Views.
W. Fl. VEGA, Waverly Junction, Iowa, does
not believe in supporting missionaries abroad
when there is so much to do at home. 1t is
a question whether we really do better the
condition of the heather by putting
clothes on them and confusing their poor
understandings with the so-caled truths of
the Bible. Clvilizing them means degrading
them IN many respects, for if they adopt our
virtues, III 700 many eases Iney auOpb our
vices, too. He thinks very many mission
aries have an easy time of it, and are not by
any means humble servants of God. Honest,
practical Christianity at home from some
of the rich, prosperous, worldly bishops
and ministers and priests, would do far
more good by example than trying to
teach the heather. Let us use our spare
money to give the children of our poor the
benefit of our free institutions, and educate
them to be good citizens. If they are good
citizens, they will be thoughtful of God and
their fellow-men.
