THE PENSION LEAK MAY BE
STOPPED.

Washington. Dec. s.-The house Com
mittee on Invalid Pensions today took
action to correct the abuse Of young wom-
en- marrying old soldiers and sailors for
the purpose of securing their pensions as
widows.
The practice was brought to light by a
recent investigation of the pension rolls
for the war of 1912, which showed that
while there were but three survivors on
the rolls, more than 1900 widows were
drawing pensions.
The committee authorized Chairman
Ray to obtain from the Committee on
Rules an order permitting an amendment
to the Pension Appropriation bill provid-
ing that no pension shall hereafter be
granted to the widow of soldier or 9TH
or person who is married to such soldier
or person after the passage of this act, ey-
ceptlng, however. all soldiers, sailors, Of
! ficers, etc, now or who may hereafter en-
ter the military or naval service of the
United States.
The matter has aroused much interest
amOung members Of Congress, and many
who would not vote to investigate or cor
rect any other form of pension abuse are
ready to aid in the fight against what
Senator Wilson, of Washington, calls the
"widow business.

JUST THE MAN.

The President and his supporters are to
be congratulated upon finding and secur-
ing exactly the fit man for Attorney
eral. If they had searched the country
through they could not have found fit
ter man than Gov. Griggs, as the Worlds
account of his public career shows.
The Attorney General is a very impor-
tant person. If Mr.. Mckinley and his
friends had by some mischance given the
Office to some one out Of sympathy with
their purposes and plans, what havoc he
could have made by laying about him
vigorously with the laws against trusts
monopolies, railroad rings, ETC.!
But there is no danger for such ca
lamity. The ardent patriots who passed
the Dingley law and who preside over the
Mckinley administration will find help

just the reverse.
The more benevolence the more oppor-
tunities for benevolence. The more bank
wreckers pardoned the more banks will
be wrecked, and the more bank-wreckers
to pardon. Doubtless there are scores of
persons in positions of trust who have
thus far kept their fingers off other peo-
ples money. merely for lack of such a
guardian angel of respectable robbers as
Mr. Mckinley is showing himself to be.
Some of these. encouraged by the one ev-

No, Mr.. Mckinley; your encourage

EX -TREASURER'S INDICTMENT.

Ex-Treasurrr Collins OF this State is
reported as having threatened the gov

and perhaps there is truth in the saying
when mans down all the worlds down

which he is said to have made are true,
the end is not yet.
However, clearing or convicting Others

bezzed from the treasury, neither will II

A HIGH COMPLIMENT.

The death OF Colonel Willidam d. Chip
ley, which occurred in Washington, d. c.
Yesterday, has caused profound shock
TO the State OF Florida. In addition to
being railroad man and banker, Colonel
Chipley was one of the. most conspicuous
Democratic politicians in the State. He
will be succeeded as political leader in
Western Florida by Captain j. E. O'Brl-
en- of Pensacola, acting president Of the
Pilots National Association.-New York
Herald.
The Pensacola Star commenting on the
above says: The Herald, for a newspa-
per so far from the scene OF action, seems
to be In close touch with Florida politics.
Captain O'Brien is the logical leader Of
the forces so ably led by the lamented
Colonel Chipley. He is laboring man,
who has, by sheer ability, advanced to a
high position, and enjoys the well-earned
esteem and confidence OF all classes. He
is generally and favorably known through
out the State as worker and dyed-in-
the-wool Democrat.
Ed has never been loser in politics,
and, as chairman Of the County Democrat
Committee, has several times led the reg
ular Democracy TO victory. He IL an Or
ganlzer, and II he decides to enter the
political arena, will have strong follow
ing In this county and throughout the
state.

The statement which ex-senator Du-
bois brings back from Hawaii, that there
are less than LOO Americans of voting
age on the island, and that nearly half OF
them are opposed to annexation, will be
likely to prove a bomb in the camp of the
annexatiOnists. According to this view
there are 600 or 800 persons there in favor
of annexation, while there are many
thousands against it. If we should annex
the island we would have to set up a mil
itary despotism there.

great was the shock caused by the son $
horrible death, and so distressing the
circumstances connected with the sad

condition never recovered FROM the
moment when the news of the young
mans death reached Mrs. Lee, her ply
steal strength began TO decline, ana
greater part of the time from that hour
until she breathed her last her conul-
ton was pitiable. Mrs. Lee was native
of this county, and she resided mere uii-
I'll several years ago, when the fanny

children and an aged husband survive
her. The latter has a record of being
one Of the truest and braVest solulers III

residents of this neighborhood is quite

The wife of Postmaster w. II. Suite

ton is regarded as critical.
Mr. James II. Peyton. of this neighbor-
hood. the old gentleman who fell ana
hurt himself so severely week ago, Is
somewhat improved, and present symp-
toms are favorable to his recovery.
La grippe is still distressingly prevalent
here and in some other parts OF the
Northern Neck; and. in consequence. the
doctors are overworked.
The unexpected "freeze-up' last week
caught a number of King Georgians and
other Northern Neckers in Washington,
and. finding that the Potomac steamers
could not come down the river through
the ice. some of them had TO travel by
rail to Fredericksburg. and then tramp
homeward, over the snow-clad hills OF
Stafford and King George, facing
piercing blizzard.
The very poor people and many labor
ers are experiencing the hardest time
this winter that ever fell to their lot.
Large numbers Of the latter are just
now out of employment, and having not
saved up enough from last years earn
ings to supply them through the win
ter. they realize for the first time what
the great business depression Of the
country actually means. The low prices
of all farm produce have forced the
farmers 10 curtail their hired force and
suspend operations during the winter.
and this leaves the laboring classes with
out employment for the present.
