after the rebellion was ceded to the State

PETITIONS TO CONGRESS.

The following letter from his member
of Congress sent us by Geo. l.. Gegner,
Ridgeville, Ind, should receive the earn
est attentiod Of all the comrades:
Munce, Ind, July 30, 1908.
Mr.. George l.. Gegner, Post Adjutant.
Dear Sir: Your recent favor informing
me of the resolutions adopted by the
Grand Army Post at Ridgeville at their
last meeting, favoring Il service pension
for Union soldiers at the rate of $12 per
month and requesting me to express my
self upon this proposition, has been re-
ceived. Replying, beg to say that | will
cheerfully give the resolutions adopted by
your Post my serious and thoughtful con-
sideration. AS | am only the servant of
the people whom | represent, | will Ell
deavor to bring about such legislation as
may meet with their favor and be for
their benefit. Before expressing myself
finally upon this question, l desire to wait
until | hear further expression of opinion
on the part of the Grand Army Posts in
my district. So far two Posts only have
spoken on this question. At this time |
can only say that l will give the action
of your Post faithful and thoughtful CON
sideratiOn.
Very truly yours.
(Sisned) G. W. CROMER.
The only way in which we can hope to
succeed is by the united effect of all the
comrades in the country in petitions and
other influence upon members of Congress.
It is absolutely necessary that we shall
show that the veterans as body earnest
ly desire the passage of the proposed legis-
lation. According to this letter, but two
Posts in Mr.. Cromer's district have so
far expressed their desire for such legis-
lation. This matter should be taken IN
at every Post between now ard the meet
ing Of Congress, and every Post and ev-
cry meeting Of veterans should express its
views. At the same time, petitions had
better be retained in the hands of those
who are getting them up until after Con
gress meets.
The proposed pension legislation will be
considered by the G. A. r. National Com
mittee on Pensions and probably made the
subject Of Il report to the National En-
campment, and action will be taken upon
it by that body. After that we shall have
u concerted plan of action and one which
will be effective. In the meanwhile let
the veterans be getting together.

The Office of Lieutenant-General will not
expire with the retirement of Lieut. Gen.
Miles. Maj.-Gen. Young will succeed him
as Lieutenant-General, and also become
Chief of Staff under the new law, This
was intended to avoid the conflict which
has heretofore been maintained between
the Commander-in- Chief Of the Army and
the Secretary of War. by placing the
Northumberland as Chief-of-StafR d.
fectly under the Secretary Of War, who
is the agent Of the President in exercising
his prerogatiye as Commander-in-C Chief OF
the Army of the United States. The
Lieutenant General as Chief of Staff will
therefore be in command Of the Army, but
exercise that command at the direction OF
the Secretary Of War and In harmony with
The Secretary's general policy. In the
event of its becoming necessary to send
The Lieutenant General to the field, the
place Of Chief of Staff will be filled during
his absence by the next in rank.

THE old saying is that there is a
crease of population in the country seems
to simply bring greater possibilities to
swindlers of all kind. In spite of all that
the newspapers can say, people will seem
ingly rush at every opportunity that pre-
sents itself to lose their money. The re-
cent failure Of the American Finance and
Mortgage Company, get-rich-quick
scheme of glaring rottenness, illustrates
this. 1t skinned the people of this coun-
try out of more than half a million dol
lars, before the papers could persuade
them that it was humbug.

WE actually begin to have some noints

acy. The British troops have decided that
it is the most invisible of colors for uni
forms, q decision that our officers might
have arrived at had they not been too
cocksure in their own opinions to take the
advice of veterans of the rebellion. After
all, Athol gray is not nearly so desirable
a uniform as blue. The talk about invis-
Utility is somewhat misleading, and does
not come from men who have had actual
experience in the field. 1t is not the
color of the uniform that makes it con-
spicuous. but the movement of the men
wearing it. A soldier wearing our old
field uniform was nearly invisible when he
stood still. The blue readily blended with
the other colors around him, and it was
only when he moved or the sun struck
his bright gunbarrel that he became no.
ticeable. Of course, a mass of men
dressed in blue is very conspicuous. but
so is mass in any uniform. This is
largely because Of the incessant motion
inSeparable from such a mass. When
they are marching there are flashes Of
light through the ranks, which are very
striking and which first betray the adj
vance Of distant column. No uniform
ever devised would prevent or even mod
ify this, and all this agitation about the
color of the uniform has been largely the
oretic.

CoMMERCIALIsM has reached the far

THERE seems TO be indubitable evidence
that the climate of the northern hemis-

melting more rapidly than it forms. The

southern boundary eight miles since 1850,
and has lost from 20 to 80 feet in depth.
