PENSION Frauds.
The barelaced and extensive pension
frauds exposed under the direction OF the
courageous and generous veteran soldier
now at the head Of the bureau leave no
room for the claim that no purpinp of
our pension rolls was needed, or that
continued vigilance and prompt action
are not necessary to the same end. The
accusation that an effort to detect pen
sion frauds is evidence OF unfriendliness
towards our worthy veterans and de-
nial of their claims to the generosity OF
the government, suggests an unfortunate
indifference to the commission OF any
ofiense which has tor its motive the
securing OF pension and indicates a
