than farming, nor any more certain to
yield satisfactory results. III very
many instances they who abandon it

The recent attack of the commission
er of pensions on the pension attorney,
followed up by some efforts to bring
the worst specimens to account, is a
circumstance that is notable enough to
deserve attention. The pension abuse,
however, is not to be abated by attack
ing the pension attorneys. No doubt
many of them are much to blame, and
when they have committed frauds they
should be held to severe accountable
ty. But, after all, it is just as well to
recognize the fact that congress has
often been the chief offender.

young men and boys-is such an awful

fully what is right. what is best for

Judges to give more thoughtful and
conscientious consideration to these
cases. our court records would be free
from some entries which are nothing
short of disgrace.
