In sad remembrance OF William G
Gusts, only child OF John r. Custi'
and Mary his wife, who died Janu
airy 18th. 1901. The joy and pride oil
his parents, but alas! death claimed
our dear one, who said, 1 am not
afraid to die, 1t is best, | am salts
fed.
How sad are the hours, Willie,
Since we see you no more,
Although we must realize
Your short life Is DER.
To relieve your sufferings here,
How hard loving hands tried,
But all efforts seemed in vain,
For soon you slept and died.
We go In your room now,
But cannot see you there,
We cannot hear your footstep,
We miss you everywhere.
We are parted only for while,
Well meet on eternity's shore,
To clasp thy hand and behold thy
smile,
And meet to part no more.

PENSIONS.

One of the objections to the pension sys-
tenn is that over 10000 claims are now
pending in the bureau. the intimation being
that these are original and quite recent
claims. As a matter of fact. the most of
these claims are for increase. Those who
look at the matter candidly can see no evil
dence of dishonesty in the making of an
application for an increase. OF the pen
sions in force June 80. 1901. 43s. ia were
granted under the law of June n. 1890. These
pensions are based upon disabilities not in
CURED in the line of service. but which pre-
vent the pensioner from earning a liveli-
hood at manual labor. These pensions
range from So To s12 a month. Under the
general pension laws, several disa bilities
could be added. so that a pension may be
granted covering a wound, rheumatism, in
jury to hearing or sight. Under a ruling
during the Harrison administration the PEN
sion must be granted for one disability.
This ruling was in force until May 3, 1900.
when a bill became a law providing that in
rating a pension each and every infrmi-
ty" of the claimant shall be considered, and
that the aggregate of disabilities shown
shall determine the pension within the limit
Of s2 per month. This law is less liberal
10 the Union claimant than was the Mexi-
can law which Mr.. Cleveland signed nearly
fifteen years ago. because the Mexican
claimant received So per month when sixty
two years of age. whether disabled or not.
Every pensioner under the law of 1890
who sought an increase under the act of
May, 1907. had 10 make an application. as
did every one who had been rejected under
the one disability ruling. Is il evidence
that a man is a fraud because he applies
for an increase upon an examination of the
bureaus physicians? II some of those who
hold that view would go to the rooms of
the examining surgeons and take note of
the condition of the men Examined they
would at least be less inclined TO apply
epithets to them. Again. under the old law.
a man may have been pensioned years ago
for a wound. AS the years passed the
wound brought other complications and the
disability became greater-is such a man
lacking in patriotism or honesty because he
applies for an increase?
A very large proportion of those who ap-
ply for increases do not get them. Positive
that they should have them and unmindful
that rules and decisions are applied by ex-
aminers. they naturally denounce the Pen
sion Bureau. and particularly the commits
sioner of pensions, TO whom many of them
attribute the absolute power to grant pen
sions, regardless of evidence or of rules
which have the force of law and which he
did not make.

men TO enact any ordinance on the subject.
A city council cannot change the principles
OF common law. The general principles
stated in the marching cases above quoted
apply 10 picketing as well. the test question
being whether picketing involves menace,
intimidation and forciole interference with
men who wish 10 work. II done in an or
derby. inoffensive way. simply as a means
of acquiring information. it might be per-
missible. but the moment. the element OF
intimidation or forcihle interference Wit
the rights of others is introduced 1t be-
comes unlawful on general principles. and
no city council or state legislature could
legalize it. The right TO picket cannot be
made to cover the right TO interfere with
the personal freedom of the individual.
