He DevOtes Much Attention to the
Subject of Pensions
By Associated Press
CLEVELAND, Ohio. September 12.-The
ccmmander-in-chief,L Leo Rassieur, devoted
a large part Of his annual address to the
matter Of pensions. without any effort. -
he said. ION the part Of the organization
or its officers to give the pension problem
any undue prominence, that subject has
overshadoWed all others, and has called for
more attention and thought in the past
year than all other questions which con-
Germ us"
He criticised the administration Of the
pension bureau and demanded 1.-The honest
and fair administration OF laws which are
already on the statute books" Continuing,
he said: IF an officers lawlessness, reck-
iessness and boldness go to such extreme
length as to lead him to override and ig-
more a plain and unmistakable order indi-
eating the line OF his duty. under the law,
coming from his superior officer, the Sec
retary OF the Interior, what can the Door
and helpless old soldier expect at his hands
when he Is claiming to exercise his dis
cretion under that law. The exercising his
discretion cannot possibly result in any
thing else In most Of the cases than q
positive denial of the benefits prescribed
by the law"
Plea for the Civil War Veterans.
After adverting to the Importance Of ju-
dcial assistance in the administration OF
the pension bureau and answering ob1ec-
tions to the q. A. r.. bill. having this object
In view. the cOmmander4n-chiefa added:
We cannot conceive that the measure OF
duty to those who saved this country will
be belittled while this country has hundreds
OF millions Of dollars to engage in a hu-
manftartan war In the interests of the
downtrodden OF other countries"
He referred regretfully to the failure of
the veterans preference bill to receive Ia
vorable, consideration by Congress and
urged further efforts to secure its passage
Another ground for disappointment, he
said. was the failure to pass one OF the
three bills for a soldiers home in South
Dakota. Idaho and Oklahoma
AS to military and patriotic instruction In
the public schools. he depIored the exclu-
sion Of non-commissioned officers from the
bill which passed Congress. .'The schools of
the country" he said, '.are the fruitful
field where patriotism can be 30 planted and
cultivated that nothing can destroy or
eradicate 1t. Hence every effort In this a.
rection should be continued with renewed
efforts and patriotic exercises made oblIga-
tory In the public schools by law. wherever

Sympathetic Notes.
The death of Queen Victoria caused
the people of the United States deep
and heartfelt sorrow, to which the gov
eminent gave full expression. When
President Mckinley died our nation in
turn received from every quarter of the
British empire expressions of grief and
sympathy no less sincere. The death
of the Empress Dowager Frederick of
Germany also aroused the genuine sym
pathy of the American people, and this
sympathy was cordially rec.procated
by Germany when the president was
assassinated. Indeed, from every quar-
ter of the civilized world we received,
at the time of the Presidents death, as
surances of such grief and regard as
to touch the hearts of our people. In
the midst of our affection we reverent-
ly thank the Almighty that we are at
peace with the nations cf mankind;
and We firmly intend that our policy
shall be such as to continue unbroken
these international relations of mutual
respect and good Will
