grown in popularity. Those who use
them are their best advertisers.

Publication of the Pension
List.

The proposition to publish the
entire list of pensioners has cre-
ated considerable opposition in
some quarters. Halsey Rhoades,
an old soldier and enthusiastic
Grand Army man, favors the pro-
posed publication. In the Denver
Herald he says:
"By all means let the pension
list be published. It is all right
to let people know to whom they
are paying out money. A law
should also be passed making it
compulsory to have list pub
lished in each county at least once
a year of every old soldier living
in the county who draws a PEN
sion, giving his name, company
and regiment. Let it be done. 1t
would do lots Of good. and might
possibly inform people that some
worthy soldiers do not draw a
pension who are supposed to be
on the list"
