AGE As PROOF
OF DISABILITY
Secretary Hitchcock Shows Rear
son. for Pension Bureau Order
Under Law.

wa shington, March 30.-Secretary
Hitchcock, In a report to the senate,
reviews the pension laws with refer
ence I'd, the recent ruling which made
age q 1'roof Of disability. He says:
perform manual labor is the sole
measure Of the right to pension un-
der this act Of June 81, 1902. The
element of manual labor is fundamen-
tai. II, I'm the adjudication of a PEN
sion claim, 1t shall be determined that
the applio ants pensionable disabilities
render him wholly incapacitated from
manual labor, his pension rating will
be accordingly, even tho the applicant
may be then occupied with distin-
guished usefulness in some field OF
intellectual endeavor.
mot only does the act Of Itself pro-
vide that each and every inf1rmity
shall be duly considered but the de-
the principles that disabilities due to
senility alone are pensionable.
1.-The order in question merely lays
down as a convenient rule of decision
and a acknowledgements Of fact,
that one who is otherwise entitled and
abled."
In reference to the probable in
crease il pensions, Acting Commits
sioner Davenport says:
There are supposed to be living
to-day about $4,000 former union SOL
diers of the civil war. OF these are
pensioned under the act of July Ia,
1852, known as the: general law, about
265 700, and under the act Of June Z,
1890, about $4,000, agTegating $685.
900, which, deducted from the whole
number OF survivors, leaves $4,000
who have. not applied for pensions.
To state definitely how many Of this
number failed to serve the required
ninety days and received honorable
discharge. would be impossible. One
fourth is a fair estimate and reduces
| the number to 136,5O0. To say that
$4,000 Of these have reached the age
Of 81 and will apply, seems reason
able estimate . If these $4,000 are all
! placed on the rolls at Sc a month, or
$72 a year, the output for pensions
will be Increased $5,400,000 annually
1.-THE pension role is diminishing
rapidly owing to deaths of beneficial
ries, and In all probability this de-
crease will offset any gains claimed
by soldiers who have reached the age
| Of 65 and upward"
Representative Bourke Cochran OF
New York introduced a resolution for
an inquiry as to the legality Of the age

OBEDIENCE TO LAW
URGED BY BREWER
Supreme Justice Shows Why
Civic Reform Campaigns Are
Spasmodic.

Chicago, March 30.-Justice David
J. Brewer of the United States SUI
preme court addressed the Municipal
Lecture association last night on "Obe-
dience to Law the First Civic Duty"
in the Auditorium. He said in part:
1T is often said that movements
TOWARD. civic purity are Espasmodic and
last only for one campaign. The diff
Guilty is that in all reform forces there
are two considerable and unreliable
factors. One consists of those who,
being left out by the administration
in power, hope thru a change in adj
ninistration to share in the offices
and profits, and the other In those
who believe In the reform movement
only so far as it carries out their
individual views .
There are the unreasonable re-
formers who, If they < cannot have
things done their own way; become
Immediately Indifferent to the success
of the movement. Both Of these, and
they are large elements, fall away at
the next election. s.z
Waste no time or strength over
trivial differences concerning modes
and methods. Enlist under the sin
gle banner of civic purity, righteous
Ness and obedience to law. Enlist
not for one campaign only, but for the
war. ss9 +
"Just so soon as that fact is known
and all come to understand that your
single and resolute purpose is the
maintenance of peace, obedience to
law; that that purpose is something
not taken up to-day to be laid down
tomorrow, but the fixed abiding pur-
pose OF your lives, you may be sure
| that disorderly elements will yield to
that purpose and you will not merely
lift your chosen city to a high posi-
| ton in business and wealth, in educa-
ton, science, art and religion, but will
also make it one where peace and or
der prevail, where vice hides its head
where Justice rules and the universe
voice of the law hears no resisting
reply" Z.
