PENSION POINTERS.
Inquiries Answered and Suggestions
Made.

II. c., Togus, Me.-Section 1900. Re
vised Statutes, provides: 1.-The rate of S1S
per month may be propOrtionately divided
for any degree of disability established for
which Section 1896 makes no provision"
This amount. SIS, forms the basis of all
ratings not especially fixed by law or Off
cial ruling. A rating of 6-1S is equivalent,
in theory at least. to Sc. There is now no
S1S rate. The claimant or his attorney
can inspect the certificate of medical ex-
animation at the Pension Bureau.
Ex-X, Soldiers Home Cal.-The deci-
sion of Aug. II. 1902 tease of Cuchfil, II
p. D., 45O). to which you refer. holds, ap-
parently, that the joint resolution Of July I,
1902, applies only to pension claims under
under the general law. Without full
knowledge as to the amount of State or
local bounties received on second enlist
ment, it is impossible to say whether the
soldier is entitled to be restored to pension
under the act of 1890 or not. If the SOL
der has been dropped from the roll. it is
probable that his restoration in view Of
the joint resolution of July 1, 1902. would
commence only from the date of his appli-
cation for restoration. This question is
not yet settled officially.

A. j. r.. Utica. Ohio.-A specific claim
would better be made for the accrued PEN

having received the soldiers accrued pen-
sion. said pension would be paid to no one
The accrued pension on her own claim
could he collected by the person paying or
responsible or the expenses of her last
illness and burial, if she should die before
her own claim is allowed. Payment would
be made from her accrued pension only in
case she left in sufficient assets to cover
the expenses of last illness and burial, and
only TO the extent that reimbursement was
necessary.
]. o. p, Lakin. Kan.-Your attorney
should be able to advise you whether to
specifically claim now on the disability not
heretofore mentioned. If found on medi-
cal examination and deemed material BY
the Pension Bureau, you will very likely
be requested to make formal application
thereon. Unless you have been waiting
for more than six months since last evf-
dence was filed, there is nothing unusual
in your failure to hear from the Pension
Bureau.

Anent the organization Of the National
Caruation League" It il surprising how
many men learned to love the fragrant
little pink after Mr.. Mckinley became
President. He was fond Of carnations,
and always had a bunch Of them standing
on his desk in the Cabinet Room and in
his private Office. As the members called
upon him, he would often pin upon their
lapels q carnation from these great vases
full of them. exactly like the one he nearly
always wore himself. II was always
brilliant pink one, too. Never white, or
the deeper ox-blood red, but bright pink.
Each day, now that Congress is in ses-
sion, great punches of the bright blossoms
are brought up to the Capitol, and the
members hunt them the first thing. Gen.
Grosvenor usually carries his to his seat.
and there he carefully breaks off the long
stem, and arranges the flower on the lapel
of his cont. He has a fashion of lifting
the lapel occasionally, to get more Of the
fragrance Of the pink. Mr.. Cannon usual
ly has a carnation on him when he comes
up to the Capitol, but if he has not. some
page is soon scurrying around hunting one
for him, The camation is the favorite
in Congress. Senator Hanna Is seldom
seen without one, and he, too, loves to in
hale the fragrance.
The Territory Of jefferson! Now. how
does that join in with the eternal fitness
Of things? Yet there actually are men in

of Independence will be enhanced by nam-

A physician puts the query: "Have you

contrary, they seem to prefer juicy

SEEK A FIGHT
IN The OPEN
Mr.. Roosevelt's Friends Think As
pirants for the Presidency Should
Announce Themselves.
II He Is to Meet With Opposition
They Want to Know
It.
New York Sun Special Service.


Chicago, Dec. 9.-Walter Wellman,
In a Washington special to the Record
Herald, says:
Does Senator Hanna intend to be a
candidate for the presidency, or does
he not? The friends of President
Roosevelt want to know. They are
beginning to insist that if there are to
be other aspirants for the republican
nomination next year, the time has
come when they should show their
hands. They say they have no Objec
ton to the appearance Of other cam
didates in the field-this is free
country and any man has the right to
aspire to the presidency-but fair
play demands, they maintain. that if
there is to be a contest over the nomi-
nation those who are to make it
should delay no longer in an
nouncing their purpose.
There is no doubt as to where Mr..
Roosevelt stands. He has never con-
cealed his wish to be nominated by the
republican party and to be reelected
by the votes of the people. He was
called by fate to the office Of president
and in that office he has done the best
he could. He stands on his record.
He has insisted with his intimate
friends and his political advisers that
if the party is not content with the
record he has made and does not wish
to make him its standard bearer, he
will not attempt to gain the nominal
ton by use of the power of his office.
He has more than once declared that
he will not permit himself to be nomi-
mated virtually by federal office hold
ers.
Roosevelt's Position.
He has forbidden his supporters to
set In motion the agencies which con-
troll delegates in many states, notably
in the south, almost entirely thru the
influence of those who hold federal
appointment. If the president is to
be nominated at all he insists that it
shall be by the spontaneous voice of
the party. He does not want the
nomination and will not seek to get it
in any other way.
If there are to be other candidates,
the presidents friends argue, it Is only
fair that they should present them
selves before the party and the coun-
try now. 1t is not fair, in their es-
timation, that influential republicans
should linger in the background, more
or less secretly discussing the avail
ability Of the president as a candidate
next year. scrutinizing his record and
pointing out the difficulties that may
stand in the way Of his reelection
creating g. feeling of distrust and anxl-
ETY., as long as no other aspirant is in
the field.
AS Senator Foraker has pointed out
in an interview, objections can be
raised to any candidate, no matter who
he may be. There is no such thing as
the ideal man, satisfactory to every
one, If there are other candidates, OIL
are to be others, they should have
their names announced.
