NATIONAL REN0WN
BRoOKPORT, ILL, THE GREAT
EST TIE POINT IN THE
UNITED STATES.

II has become such common thing
for Metropolis and Massac county peo'
pie to notice the tie shipping industry
at Brookport that the extensiveness Of
it is rarely given second thought
says the Metropolis Herald.
1t is nevertheless fact, so an Off
cial of the Chicago and Alton railroad
recently told Attorney @. l. V. Mui'
key, that Brookport among tie mer
is recognized as the greatest railroad
oross-tie shipping point in the United
States. The facilities are better, the
scope of country reached more extens
i've and more ties are actually handled
q. Brookport than at any other poin
in this country. The distinction IL
certainly worthy of notice.

The question of pensions most fire.
quently occurs between a government
and its employees: For instance
when a man enlists in the army or
navy, the government contracts to
pay certain monthly wages in
consideration of the services which
he undertakes to perform, and if at
the expiration of his term of enlist
ment the ex-soldier is returned to
civil life, with his ability to earn a
livelihood unimpaired, then the obi
cation of the government to him is
satisfied, and any additional compen-
sation granted him might be consid-
cred a gratuity; but if the soldier re-
turns MANNED or with his health
shattered and his ability to earn a
livelihood impaired or destroyed, then
the obligation of the government is
not satisfied until it compensates the
soldier for the loss he has suffered in
its service. No one looks upon the
pension granted to a manned soldier
as gratuity, or thinks that he is
pauperized by accepting a pension
commensurate with the loss he has
suffered in the service of his country.
Everyone recognizes an honest pen
sion as a badge of honor.
