we will not close this article without
naming the local examiners who have
served in this vicinity and the mere men
tion of their names is sufficient reply to any
person Of high or low degree who would
question either their integrity or their skill
They are as follows;
"Drs William Waddle, ]. b. Scearce, Z.
]. Galbreath, J. NJ Leslie, G. S. Franklin,
]. w. Lash, Chas. Miesse and c. w Welsh,

These are the men who have served or
are serving now members of the boards
of local medical examiners in the Scioto
Valley and whom the Commissioners Of
Pensions sneer at as subjected to no test
examinations as to their medical skill, and
never have been; inefficient, and biased TO
the verge OF dishonesty All of these men
are graduates of regular medical colleges
and a number Of them have taken post
graduate courses. Two of them have stood
the test Of so years practice; one, As years;
one, 43 years; four, 40 years: two, rs years
one 80 years; three, 80 years; fifteen, 20 to
20 years; one, I3 years; one 9 years and
one s years. There are no better men on
earth than these and they are good types of
medical examiners elsewhere. They belong
to both political parties in the same pro-
portion as the voting population Of the val
ley. They are such men, one and all, as
would be accepted by any reasonable man
to arbitrate any important matter in which
he was interested and their conclusion would
be accepted as final, a. Il would be upon
any medical question We do not believe
that any man outside of the Pension Bureau
has ever questioned their strict integrity
or medical knowledge. II takes the over
whelming temerity bred Of ignorance to do
So
Ex-Comissary Clerk Evans plan to sub
stitute these eminent physicians, every one
of whom the GLOBES editor personally
knows, with travelling physicians at 81 800
each per annum from his bureau, is the cap
sheaf in his villainous and determined pur-
pose to rob the veterans Of that to which
they are so justly entitled by reason Of
wounds, sickness and incaDacity to perform
manual labor The exsOldier who will
vote for the reelection Of a Republican
President keeping such a vile soldier hater
as this ex-comissary clerk in the Office Of
Pension Commissioner deserves the rob
berry, iil-treatment and misrepresentation
to which he is subjected
AS to the pension frauds" this man
Evans is eternally mohthinR about and
which his subsidized henchmen of the press
here in Washington supply the country,
they are much less than the number of
relatives of these same correspondents to
whom Evans has given appointments in the
Pension Bureau. By keeping the relatives
Of these correspondents in office Evans has
a corps of newspaper liars at his service
who have completely deceived the press of
the United States as the last annual report
of the Attorney General demonstrates
In this report the Attorney General shows
convictions on account of the violation of
the revenue laws I4o, on account of the vio-
lation of the postal laws 3I3, and on account
of the violation of the pension laws 49,
Columns and whole pages of newspapers
the frauds in the postal service and in the
revenue service" but hardly a line appears
more than the bare announcement of the
arrest and conviction Of the offender See
how the subsidized Washington correspond
ents whose relatives or mistresses Evans
employs in the Bureau of Pensions spreads
1t out in the press Of the entire country
over twenty-eight convictions for violation
of the pension laws
The Attorney Generals report would be
in ten large volumes did he adopt ex. Com
missary Clerk Evans system Of particular.
izing the pension frauds and padding out
every trivial case of the whole twenty-eight
with his assaults upon the local medical
examining boards, etc etc, etc Every
day President Roosevelt retains this con-
temptible soldier hater in Office he is max.
ing votes for the next Democratic candidate
for President Of the United States
And because of this fact as a Democrat
we find some consolation in II. Clay Evans
extraordinary tenure OF an Office he has
prostituted. disgraced and dishonored.
