THE LAST SURVIVOR OF THE G. A. R

THE LAST SURVIVOR OF THE G. A. r.
The approaching dissolution of the
G. A. r. has occupied considerable edi-
torial space Of late and possibly has
conveyed too much the impression that
the order is near it's end. If so, it is
an impression to be corrected. There
are many years before it. It's men,
bers are old men, but the major pars
of million of the soldiers who served
in the civil war survive and are on the
pension rolls. The average of their
ages is about 81 years. The civil war
was fought by young men for it began
43 years or more ago. The average age
the war closed.
1t requires many years to utterly
efface an army like that of the great
war. OF the little army of the Max
lean invasion some thousands still
survive. A veteran Of the war Of 1912
was alive, aged 103, at his home in
New York in 1902. The last survivor
of the American revolution died in
1869. He was 100 years old and had
borne arms under Washington, who
died 20 years before him. He had seen
the birth of his country and been per-
mitted to see its salvation. h
So it will be many years before the
solitary survivor of the civil war
stands alone the sole inheritor of all
it's magnificent memories and it's glory.
Old and bent and crippled, what a
splendid spectacle he will present to
the centered gaze of patriotism. Lei
us hope that he will have survived not
only his comrades in the greatest war
of history, but war itself and that his
eyes may close upon universal and I'M
broken peace that shall endure forever.

Hon. Mr.. Spalding made strong plea
in the House last week for better plan
for the allotment of free delivery routes
in this state. He showed by the present
method that North Dakota was getting
far less than most states. The present
plan of the department is to establish
free delivery on routes with certain
number of families. Mr.. Spalding calls
attention to the fact that in this state we
have large farms. which necessarily
makes fewer "families," but which after
all have as great population as in states
and localities which have small farms
and consequently more families. Oar
own people understand this situation to
be fact and will be glad to have Mr..
Spalding succeed in getting the rule
ehangedsto suit our circumstances.

TEE NEW PENSION RULING.

A recent order of the pension depart

has reached the age Of 62, unless the con-
trary appears, he is to be edeemed to have
only one-half the capacity to earn live.
lihood as that Of Younger and able-bod.
led men.
This order is being criticised and op-
posed by some members OF congress as
being OF an arbitrary character, notwith-
standing that the Commissioner of Pens
ions shows that such has really been the
practice of the department from the time
OF the Mexican war.
This opposition comes from the very
men who have always opposed the grant
ing of pensions in any form. They are
the men who have always characterized
the old soldiers as lot of beggars and
paupers, too lazy to earn their own living
and ut barnacles on the nation.
Now these men are opposing the pres
ent order ON the ground that there are SO
lHdIy OlO oOi0lOlS wiz Will SOAAAS uLOC1
the present ruling that the increase in the
amount Of pensions will swamp the ma.
tional finances.
But if 1t is true that there are so many
old soldiers not now receiving pensions,
then what becomes of the former con
tention that all the old soldiers were beg
gars and public padpers1
There are in the nature of things many
old soldiers who are receiving pensions
who are to greater or less extent unde-
serving, but this is more than offset by
the other fact that there are thousands
who are either receiving no pensions at
all or very much less than they should
receive. s. S.5;. s
O;these latter thousands, most have
not applied Tor pensions. Many on the.

bic or too troublesome for the soldier t,
obtain his pension.

OOtdlu Ills pSuSlOHs
Persons who have had no experience
in the business, probably suppose, from
the large number who get pensions, that
the getting of pension for an old Sold
ier is simple matter of the asking. For.
merly pensions were granted only for
disabilities incurred while on military
duty, and this had to be proven by the
records OF the hospitals and the recollec-
ton of comrades and by examinations
and testimony of local physicians and
government examining boards. Even in
the earlier years after the war, evidence
of this kind was very difficult to obtain,
and later, when mems recollections be.
came dulled, when SO many died and
when thew became scattered over the
country, it became Impossible in the ma
!jority OF cases to get the proof required
by the government.
In 1890, partly because of such difficult.
ties and partly because of the financial
needs of many old soldiers whose disa-
bilities were apparent but which could
not be proven to have originated in the
service lalthough such was doubtless the
CASEY congress passed law that all old
soldiers who could prove present disa-
bility, no matter how incurred, and who
had no other means of support than their
own labor, should be entitled to a pen
sion, varying according to the disability
as fixed by government examining
board, of from "a to Sl2 per month. This
law was also made applicable to widows
and orphans. 1t is the extension of this
law that the present order affects.
That man when he has arrived at the
ese Of 81 is physically disabled is fact
that ought to need no proof. If there is
any man of that age who thinks he is just
as good physically as he was when half
that age; he can be .disabused of that
idea very quickly by applying for any
form of life insurance. Or, if already a
member of some insurance society with
the assessment form of premiums, his in
creasing premiums as the years go on,
| will convince him that he is no longer
young.
There are thousands of old soldiers in
the latter class OF insurance companies,
who have but little else for the protect
ion of their families. As advancing age
comes on it is more and more difficult
for them to earn the money necessary to
keep them and their families, and in the
meantime the life insurance premiums
keep increasing in amount.
To us it would seem that ahe old Sold
ier who has struggled along for forty
years maxi 'g his own living as best he
might, and in all that time has not asked
for government assistance of that gov
ernment for which he offered his lite, and
for which government he risked life and
health, that such a man, il he needs as
! sistance in his declining years, is most
deserving of such assistance, and the fact
that he is 81 years of age is and ought to
be all the proof necessary that he is at
least pa tally disabled from earning a
livelihood.
