PENSION FIGURES

Work of State Snpt., Bearing Fruit.


Jackson. - The pension rolls from
the various counties in the State are
being received at the Office of the au-
ditor. Pension Clerk Simonton says
that he viii not give out the figures for
any of the counties until he has re-
ceived all of the returns. Then he
will give out statement 10 tabular
form, showing the increase or decrease
in the diff, rent counties. He stated
that all of the rolls received so far
show an increase over last year, which
was the high-water year for pensions.
The last legislature changed the mode
Of selecting applicants. putting it into
the hands of county board composed
Of old Confederate soldiers. 1t was
forme rly the duty of the severa
boards of supervisors to pass on the
applicants. The boards in almost ev-
cry county in the State increased the
number of pensioners. In some in
stances the increase was exceedingly
large, while in others it was not so
large. Tt is believed that there will be
an increase this year over the number
reported last year, and this will have
the effect of cutting down the amount
that each pensioner of the non pre-
ferrred class is to receive. The
amount appropriated by the State each
year for pensions is 5000, 900, but it
has been found that the amount ap-
propriated, which has been increased
by the legislature every two years, is
not sui cient to keep up with the in
crease in the number of those who de-
sire to eniov the Sfate's hounfv

who considers the general welfare of
the county and the Territory as well as
his own selfish interests. Having made
q failure of administration along lines
in which citizens of the islands have
been schoOled, is II reasonable to sup.
pose that better success can be mado
in a new and untried field?
Not a few feel that the question ~
whom to place in county Offices Is
largely a matter Of personality. 1t may
be If party has failed to place on its
ticket representative men well known
for their capacity and integrity in pub.
lie office. Such failing cannot be
charged against the Republican party
in any county. It has put forward men
of experience in private enterprise,
men of proved ability in public office.
Behind the list of candidates stands a
party record of stability and energy.
The Republican party has met issues
as they have arisen in conservative
spirit which is responsive to popular
demands, having always in view the
steady Improvement Of conditions sur
rounding the individual citizen, his
home his property, his liberty under
benefCent law.
What has proved true in the Terri
tory will come home with greater force
in the county. With local self.govern
ment, an experiment so far as these
Islands are concerned, no voter can az
ford to indulge in an experiment wheI
casting his ballot for the men and the
Iarty that are to administer the laws
and stand responsible to the people fol
the solution Of the new problems Ger
tain to arise. There Is not one votel
in hundred who, IL connected will
any new enterprise, would. after thu
plans are laid. give his vote to plac,
other than the organizers in charge o
its AFFAIRS. The same principle hold
doubly true OF the political situation II
which the voter is the all-importan
factor today.
The Republican party gave the Ter
ritory the County Law. The RepublI
can party is the logical successor I,
the responsibility of carrying out thi
law and establishing local self.govern
mant upon a firm basis. No voter 1
serving his own or the community's in
terest by casting his ballot in favor o
swapping horses in the middle OF tn
stream. The duty OF the voter in ever,
county is obvious.
