The Service Pension Bill ought to pass I
like the Per Diem Bill better but the Service
Pension stands the best show now, and we
must unite on it.-Jas. A A. Woods, 18th w.
Va, Paris, Mo.
l have talked with good many of the old
comrades, and they are all heartily in favor
of your Service Pension. We also think
that all those who have been dropped from
Ike roll should be put back, and have their
pensions from the date they were dropped
T. j. Philips, PooIville, Tex.
l fully agree with you on the Service PEN
sion. II we can get 50 per month now, / am
sure the Per Diem Bill will follow, ard also
the Ex-PrisoneTs BILE. G.. Meyer, Co. K,

What l wish to say is that as we have
now pretty generally expressed our views as
to The kind Of pension bill we would like
10 have passed and as there is not one of US
so stupid as to imagine that everybody can
he satisfied and so long as know this, let
Us drop everything and fall into line under
the standard of our true and tried friend,

Service Pension. l am willing to stake my
last dollar that we will come out all right

Private Dalzell heartily indorses THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE Service Pension, and
in his rather peppery style, adds: Yes,
that's what we elected this Congress for If
they didn't ls4fn their orders during the
campaign, give them to them now, or we
will retire the whole caboodle of them next
FALL Shuttle the cards and try new deal.
It's no excuse that the President will veto
the bill. Let Congress show its hand. Put
up or shut up. We are watching every
mothers sou Of them, and woe to the one
who goes back on the soldier. Politics is
the reverse of religion, which casts out all
fear. It's the mascot of politics. Nothing
for love, all for fear. So, gentlemen of
Congress, show your hands, or pack your
buds and git!"
/ am in favor of a Service Pension of So
month to every honOrably discharged soldier.
This is the least amount that should be
granted. As much more should be gotten
as possible. If Congress intends to do any
thing for the old soldiers now is the time,
for they are rapidly passing away. 1t will
not be long before they are all camping on
tile other sde.-James Turpin First Ser
geant, 1st Ind. Cav, NewtOnville, Ind.
