Washington Dispatch to Boston Globe)
Members Of Congress are dreadlng
the day when Commissioner Ware
takes charge of the Pension office
They believe that every soldier In the
United States who has been denied
n pension or ain increase under the
regime of Mr.. Evans will apply to
the new Commissioner of Pensions
for reconsideration of their claims.
They are predicting that the Pension
office will be flooded with claims that
have been rejected by Commissioner
Evans. The impression Is general
throughout the country that Mr..
Evans was unusually strict in his
examination of claims and that many
claims which were acted on adversely
would have received favorable con
slderation at the hands of another
man. While this impression Is er-
roneus it Is general, and thousands
of old claims will be refiled with the
hope that Commissioner Wares inter-
pretaton of the pension laws will diff
fer greatly from those of Mr.. Evans.

The Democrats have already chosen

HYSTERIA
Is One of the Ma.
tons Sins.
Such Reformers Accom-.
plish Little,
Says the Rev. DR.. William 5.
Rainsford.

New Haven, Conn, April 15.-The
Rev. William S. Rainsford, D. D., of
New York, in a talk to the Mems club
of this city. said that the United States
was hotbed of emotion, that Kipling
found it so, and that Oliver W endell
Holmes and Longfellow both alluded
to this feeling in their works. He con-
tinued "Hysteria is one of our ma
tional sins. Your hyeterical people will
go on until they lose their self-control
Your ritualists will go on mumbling
their forms until it becomes a mockery,
and your philosopher will go ON spin
ming dreams of an impossible future
from an impossible past, but the world
will not be saved.
THE men who do something to lift
men to higher life are the men you
need to save the world, and should
judge you need some of them in your
Connecticut General Assembly to speak
for common sense. This idea of limit
ing the family to one or two prevailing
all over the country, and Gods curse
will come on people who foster that
long.
christianity is not doing right by
the lost women in our cities. We have
difficult problem here. The tempta-
tions in the cities are fearful. Five out
of six among the young men in every
city of over 10000 live in boarding
houses. Do you realize what that
means? The conditions are such that
it is hard for young men to get mar
rled. Advance in education means an
advance in requirements to live, and
there is not a corresponding advance in
wages.
The young girls are working in
shops for less money than can barely
support them What are we going 10
do with these women? Shall we send
them to the island? The majority of
them are more sinned against than sin
ming You talk about homes for them.
At present there are very few of these
institutions that are practical.
1T is mistake to think you can
make people good by law. The enthus'
last, the philosopher, and the politician
may hold to the idea, but it is fearful
mistake for Christians. a lot of hys-
terical people want to remedy the
evil and they clamor FOR IA law. Every
