The New Method of Paying Pension

The New Method of Paying Pensions.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
So much has been written pro and con
in regard to the late law governing pen
s;ons that but very little remains to be
said upon the subject That the law will
succeed in Its object am in grave doubt.
for If I or any other pensioner wishes to
dispose Of his check, let it be for liquor or
any other commodity, the same will be
DONE let the check be given in hand or be
sent by mail. Having had experience in
both ways, L must say l find little If any
good accomplished by the mail route If
check Is given in hand, the first thing to
be done Is get 1t cashed. Bankers in Wash
ington refuse to cash same unless you
nave an account with them. If you are not
in need of clothing, Shoes etc, the dealers
In said articles will not cash it. If you are
single, you do not deal with the butcher,
the grocer CT the baker, and, a natural
consequence. they will not do so. The treas
ury is long way off, perhaps closed,
and the only place to get the cash is in
some saloon, for the boarding mistress
never has cash enough on hand to accom-
modate you.
If you receive check by mail you are one
day later in having 1t in your possession,
and the same difficulty confronts you.
Now, the saloon keeper is cried down for
accommodating the penSfoner, and for why?
Because the old soldier is induced to
take drink to get his cash. That there
are, perhaps. some saloon keepers who
charge % cents in their goods to accommo-
date the old soldier l have no doubt, but l
can name not a few who have, and will
yet, cash checks for those they are ac-
quainted with, and never charge one cent,
either in cash or goods, unless the soldier
chooses to spend of his own free will
And, again. many are growing because
they must pay notary public % cents for
his trouble in preparing vouchers; they
would have same done gratis. Now, does
the notary get his commission gratis? Is
the seal Of his Office presented to him, or
does he pick 1t out of the junk pile? And.
again, do his ink, pens. etc, come to him
free? And. lastly, Is his time worth moth
ing? AS Senator Gallinger said in the Sen
ate a few days ago. Washington beats any
GROWERS. PAYMENT in any way should be
agreeable to the pensioner, and the outsid-
ers need not go into Mysteries as regards
the way L is spent, for the poor old soldier
is foxy enough to take care of himself
without their assistance. mans money
is his own when once earned and paid to
him, be 1t for work or for pension, and the
government does not place any restriction
on him to how he disposes of it, let It
be for clothing, for amusement or even for
a little beer or whisky. So the good Samari-
tans need not trouble their minds in re-
gard to his pension, for he will dispose of
it according to his own free will, and the
saloon keeper will not pull him in to make
him spend unless the old 'comrade takes
the notion. H. J. McGIVERN,
One of the Pensioners.
