MEXICAN VETERANS


A bill to increase the pensions OF
Mexican war veterans has passed
both branches of congress and only
lacks the presidents signature to
make 1t law.
The bill as originally introduced
provided for an increase from sl2 to
$50 per month, but as a compromise
the bill passed allowing all Mexican
war veterans $50 per month, an in.
crease Of SIS more than they are now
getting monthly.
This work was accomplished
through the influence of the Danes
of 1916 and the personal solicitation
OF Mrs. Moore Murdoek of Fort
Worth, who has been in Washing
ton since last February In the in
terest of the bill.
The Danes of 1916, mothers,
wives, widows, daughters and grand
daughters of the heroes of the Mex
lean war, officers or privatas, form
an enthusiastic association of wo-
men, first organized in 1901
In 1901 the charter camp of the
Danes of 1916 was organized at
Mrs. Murdock's home, Fort Worth.
as camp Palo Alto. Every camp is
named after a celebrated battle OF
the Mexican war and has as its

to perpetuate the memory, the sac
rifices and the indomitable courage
and vaIor of the men who, without
regard to section, politics or social
condition, responded To the call to
arms in 1916, but just now these
women have a work of simple, prac-

sion Of sl2 a month hence, the first
work Of the Danes OF 1916 was TO
urge upon congress an increase of
this pension to at least $40 a month.
They also hope to obtain an increase
for the widows and children of the
dead patriots.

to govern himself" Today the re-
publican party is thoroly commit.

In a speech delivered in the
house of representatives in 1918,
Henry Clay pleaded for South
American independence from Span.
ish rule
1T is the doctrine of thrones, ,
said Mr.. Clay, that man is too
ignorant to govern himself. Their
partisans assert his incapacity in
reference to all nations; if they
cannot command universal assent
to the proposition il is then de-
maudod d- peculiar to all nations,
aud our pride and our presumption
too often makes converts of us.
contend that it is to arraign the
disposition of Providence himself
to suppose that he created beings
incapable of governing themselves
and TO be trampled on by kings.

government Of man, anu for proof
I refer to the aborigines of our

hypothesis unfavorable to human
liberty, my speculatious should be
founded rather upon the vice re.

Crowded together in compact mass

the effect too often. | admit, is the

WHO'S WHO?

Plunderers of states and munic-
qualities have no politics.
I'VE got a moon yet, amt it,"
That saying is famous in st.
Louis, an utterance by Henry
Ziegenhein, city mayor and Re-
publican. The coinage was called
forth in answer to Il protest Of cit
liens for culpable delay on the
part Of the city fathers in furnish
ing light to Il large section Of the
city.
No difference where such an af-
front would come from, it was in
excusable Indifference and an in
suit, and, in an official Of high po-
sition, no Republican or Democrat,
Of lofty patriotism and worthy to
be called a good citizen, would be
guilty of making such break, to
put it in common parlance.
But Hiegenhein's saying served
to wake up the people, and they
began to look into public affairs,
and soon nineteen boOdlers had
peniteutiary sentences resting
against them. The mayor was moi
caught, but some of his friend!
were.
However, did it make any differ
ence whe Their these boodlers called
themselves Republicans or wha
notl Maybe the Audrain Repub
lican mass convention last Satur
day claims none of these fellow
were Republicans! Then, on tn
same theory, certainly none o
them were Democrats.
