WITH EYES IMMORTAL

BY II. j. ADAMS
IT'S said
The dead
Beyond this life
See all our strife,
Our struggles long and vain
For worldly fame and gain,
With eyes immortal; note the days
Devoted to ungodly ways
Tho wanderings astray, foolhardy, blind
Look down and pity loved ones left behind,
Yet feel no grief nor know regret,
Nor pains the hours Of life beGet;
For peace is all they know,
Greater than bliss below,
For eternity
Poor mortals, We,
Should sigh

Under the above caption the
Philadelphia Times, one Of the
ablest papers in the United States,
independent in politics, with
strong Republican tendency, has the
following to say regarding the pen
sion claim Of Judge Long, Of Mich
igan:
Judge Charles b. Long is a men,
ber of the supreme court Of the state
of Michigan, receiving a salary Of
g. 800 year. He was wounded
during the war, his gallantry and
service are not questioned, and he
was promptly granted pension, as
he deserved.
The highest grade OF pension to a
soldier is $72 a month, but it is
given only to those who are suffer
ing from absolute disability to per-
form any work whatever II is in
tended only for such Of our soldiers
as have entirely sacrificed health
and strength in the service Of their
country, and are utterly incapable
of earning anything toward liveli-
hood.
Judge Long pressed his case up
on the pension department for re-
rating to have himself put in the
highest grade Of pensions, as one
suffering from total disability, and
after obtaining this highest pension,
that is given to those who are pre-
|sumably incapable Of earning any
thing, he becomes justice of the
supreme court in his state and is
earning 81 800 year.
Pension Commissioner Lochren,
himself a gallant soldier, very
promptly decided that Judge Long
could not receive pension Of $12a
month as one totally disqualified to
earn anything toward his support
when proved himself capable of earn
ling s. 500 year as judge, and
his pension was re-rated back to
$50 per month. Some Of the more
reckless party organs bitterly COM
planned, as they do in every case
where fraudulent pension is detected
and stopped, that Secretary Smith
and Commissioner Lochren were
making wicked attack upon the
lpension system, because they de-
-lcided that man who earns ~ 800
In wear should not be pensi0ned &72
la month as man who is incapable
of earning anything.
The disgraceful feature Of this
lease is not so much that Judge
.II.ong received an unlawful pension
land made himself a living lie in the
face of the law and Of his fellow
soldiers, but that he persists in de-
rImanding that his $72 month pen
sion shall be continued. He has
fought the reduction at every step
and has finally filed petition in
1.-THE supreme court in the District OF
.lColumbia for a mandamus against
the pension commissioner to COM
pei him to pay Judge Long the $72
la month. Judge Long presents
himself to the country as con-
.Ispicuous instance Of disgracing our
,lhonored soldiery and the judiciary
: of his state.
Common decency should have
made him voluntarially surrender
his increased pension when he be-
lcame capable Of earning a very
large income, but as he seems in
capable Of appreciating mis- duty to
himself, to his high position and to
, the country, it is necessity that
the pension authorities shall give
him a lesson in mingled honesty
. and Justice. A man in Judge Longs
{ position who thus attempts to dis
grace our pension system should be
} stricken from the rolls forever as
lone who has proved himself un-
worthy Of the generous support OF
| the nation.
