PENSION EDUCATION


THERE is another feature Of ex-

would be obnoxious, but in re-
Iation to which some statistics
may be cited without giving offense-
Pension attorneys have educated the
great body of men who went into the
civil war from patriotism to believe that
all are now entitled TO pensions. wheth-
er they are disabled G. not. The young
ct generations are all familiar with the

The regular army has been singular
j. free from any accusation OF pension
grabbing; and, II for no other reason, It
deserves credit for this on the score Of
economy, The annual report Of the
Commissioner OF Pensions shows that
invalid pensions have been allowed since
July I, 1851, to June 20. 1900, under the
general law. to 556,255 volunteers. and
