PENSION ORDER NO. rs

President Roosevelt's Action Il in Line
with Law and Precedent.
The groundless character Of the
charge that President Roosevelt has
exceeded his constitutional powers is
shown clearly by examinat ton OF the
facts and the laws concerned In the
executive action known as the sage
pension order Issued last March BY
direction Of the president.
Anyone who viii take the trouble to
read the act OF June 81, 1890, as
amended May 9, 1900, viii find clear
basis to begin with, It directs who
shall have pensions, and how the
amount Of the pension, In each case,
shall be determined, as follows:
All persons who served 90 days Of
more Ii the military Of naval service
%. the United States during the late
war Of the rebellion and who have
been honorably discharged therefrom,
and who are now or who may 5hereaft-
er be suffering from a mental or ply
sicaI disability Of q permanent char
acter, not the result Of their own Vic
ious habits which incap acitates them
from the peri rmance Of manual labor
IA such q degree as to render them UNI
able to earn support, SHALL upon
making due proof OF the fact accord.
ing to such rules and regulations as
the secretary Of the interior may pro
vide, be placed upon the list Of In
valid pensioners of the United States
and be entitled TO receive d pension
not exceeding $12 per month, and not
less than Sc per month, proportioned
to the degree Of dfsab ility to earn q
support, and In determining such ina
bility each and every aggregate Of the
;disabilih lies shown shall be rated, ("
Thus, as plain. as words can make 4,
lie authority given TO the secretary Of
the interior Ito determine what pen
sion shall be paid to any appli cant for
pension who served ninety days In the
war OF rebellion, was honorably dis
charged, and who - disabled for the
performance Of manual labor BY any
cause other than the results Of his own
vicious habits.
q The supreme court has decided that
upon the point OF estab lishing The rate
Of pension to be paid, within the limits
prescribed BY the law the secretary of
the interior has entire control. The
only check or supervision upon him -
from the president Of the United
States whom the general laws specifl-
caliy direct shall have control ofs the
commissioner of pensions and the adj
ministtation De the pension system.
Therefore, It was directly ina line
with Tie duties imposed upon him ac-
,c0rding to section 471. %. s. Revised
statutes, that President Roosevelt
Rave the celebrated order which has
been called an evidence OF nsurTa-
tion, /. imperial ism, footing Sof the
treasury. and other hard names, by
fexcifable Democrats. The section &of
the Revised Statutes referred 70 reads
as follows: 4.
.The commission Of pensions shall
perform. under the direct on OF the sec
rotary of the interior, such duties AZ

Can Trace the Crimes.

ST. Petersburg. October 9.-The Russian
police are convinced that the whole
series of terror and crime beginning with
the assassination of Minister of Public In
struction Bogoliepoff by Peter Karpovieh
on February 27. 1901, and including the
murder of Minister of the Interior Sipia-
guine in April 1902; the two attempts up
on the life of M. Pobiedonostseff, procur-
ator general of the holy synod; the shoot
ing of Prince Obolensky while he was
governor of Sharoff In 1902; the murder Of
Governor Bogdanvitch of Ufa In 1903; the
working out of four other plots, and
finally the murder Of NJ. Plehve last sum-
mer. are traceable to a common inspira-
tion.
While some links In the chain of evil
dence are lacking, a long investigation
has revealed the fact that the inspiration
for the revival of terrorist activity in
Russia comes chiefly from a band of rev.
olutionists mostly recruited from ex-
lies to Siberia, living an the short OF
Lake Leman, Switzerland. where may
possibly be located another Executive
committee. such as directed the bloody
reign of nihilism from 1879 to 1882.
Thos fighting organization" as 1t 1,
termed seems to be without a direct OBJ
ieot but rather as supplemental to thu
work OF the revolutionary propaganda
which has agitators abroad spreading
among all classes of the population.

BRIEF SESSION
HELD YESTERDAY
CANADIAN CHURcHMEN MAKE
SUGGESTIONS FOR LESSENlNG
THE DIVORCE EVIL IN THE
UNITED STATES.

Boston, October S.-The greetings of the
Anglican church in Canada was trans
mitted to the Episcopalian general con-
ference at "a brief session today by the
Rt. Rev. Charles Hilton bishop of OF
tawa; the Rt Rev. James Carmichael,
bishop coadjutor of Montreal, and Dean
Evans. also of Montreal. Bishop Hamil-
ton thought that the United States might
well adopt some of the methods in dealing
with divorce which were in vogue in his
country, where the courts which sever
marriage had little to do.
1t Is announced that the divorce ques-
tion will be taken up by the convention
on Monday.
Richmond is favored by many delegates
as the place for the convention Of 1907,
and it is understood that a committee, of
which ]. Pierpont Morgan is chairman,
will recommend that city. The fund raised
by the woman's auxiliary for the board
of missions now amounts to s150,0O0, the
largest In the churchs history.
