q real fighting soldier Of service lasting
through the whole war, was Commits
sioner of Pensions, it was pointed out TO
him that a certain provision in the laws
would cost the country millions of dol
lars. He very properly replied:
"That is none my business. l am
put here to execute that law, not to pass
my judgment upon it. Congress con-
sidered how much it would cost, and
what it meant in every way. 1t has

Mayes Post is small one, and if other
Posts do proportionately as well, it will
give the enterprise a great impetus
toward success. 1t is expected, how
ever, that the Posts will contribute only
relatively small portion of the large
amount which should be raised. Their
contributions will be an earnest of their
belief in the rightfulness of the grand
work. They will do their best work in
stimulating interest in the project in
their respective communities. The
monument should be the finest thing
that ever the sun shone on, and every
man, woman and child in each COM
munity should contribute something to
it. Whoever believes that the young
manhood of the United States fought
and died as soldiers never did before,
for the preservation of this Government,
and whoever feels that the result was
worth all that it cost them, should
testify that belief by contribution to
rearing resplendent pile in the Capital
of the country, which shall forever
testify to the courage, patriotism and
fortitude of the soldiers and sailors of
1865. Every man and woman should
be glad of the privilege of being rep
resented in such an eternal testimonial
to American manhood.

EVANS MUST GO.
As long ago as May, 1898, the De
partment of Missouri, GAR, adopted


the following resolution:
" "Resolred, The Department of Missouri,
GAR, would, and if it were possible, with
increased emphasis, reiterate. its conviction
that the pension laws should be executed
with the same liberal and patriotic spirit that
prompted their enactment, that no one,
whether high or low, who does not heartily
enter into that spirit, should be entrusted
with their execution, and believing that the
present Commissioner Of Pensions is not
acting in accordance with the true spirit Of
our pension laws, we respectfully urge a
change in that Office"
This voices the sentiment of every
veteran from the Atlantic to the Pa
clfic. Also that of their sons and sons
in,law. Evans is a great load for Presi-
dent Mckinley to carry. Tie sooner
he is gotten rid of, the easier will be the

been sending seditious literature to the

intense, malignant activity of the Cop
perheads during the rebellion, sud how
little they were able to accomplish
against the good sense a~G patriotism
of the people, the operations of Atkin-
