General SickIes's Letter.
New York, Jun

NGW L UFh. OuC0 1JOt.
M lior General O. o. Ho ward, U. s. A.
Dear General: Complying with
your request. have much pleasure in
recapitulating the views expressed by
me the other day about the recent
pension order o. President Roosevelt.
The { on ,titution commands the
President to take care that the laws
be faithfully executed" Congress, IL
the organization of the Pension Office,
imposed upon the President the DUTY
of supervising the execution of the
pension laws. 1t is the only bureau
in the government placed under the
immediate direction of the president
by an act Of congress.
Order No. rs dated March 15, 1904,
which recognizes old age as a disabil.
fly iucapaeitatipg a soldier or sailor TO
earn living by manual labor, and
therefore emitting him to a graduated
pension under the act of June 81, 1890,
is sustained by precedent and law. and
is one of the wisest acts OF President
Roosevelts administration.
You and | have heard this order de-
nounced as usurpation of legislative
q lthority by the Executive. These
critics forget that Judge Lochren.
President Cleveland's Commissioner
of Pensions, by his order of Septem Der
2, 1898; gave the same effect to the
act of 1890. fixing, however, the age
of seuenty-fve as the period for dis.
ability. The legality of Judge Loch-
ren's order was not questioned.
President McKinley's Secretary of
the interior, in July. 1897, established
the rule that claimant for pension
under the act of June %, 1890, who
has attained the age of sixty-fve
years, shall be entitled to at least the
minimum rate of pension ($6 a monthly
provided by that act" This order of
Presidedt Mckinley was not disputed.
CLEVELAND AND NJ 'KINLEY
PREcEDENTs.
President Rooseyelt's Commissioner
of Pensions, Colonel Ware. in his now
famous Order No. 78, approved by the
Secretary of the Interior, Mr.. Hitch
cock, directs that "when a claimant
under the act OF June 27, 1890. has
passed the age OF sixty-two years, he
is disabled one-half In ability to per-
form manual labor and is entitled to
be rated at Sc month";" the minimum
pension; after sixty-fve years at So a
month, I" and after sixty-eight years al
$40 month, and after seventy years
at $12 a month, the maximum.
Each OF these orders is based upon
the same Interpretation of the act O.
June 27, 1890. II Cleveland and Nc
Kniey were right. Roosevelt is right
1t is the comoon experience of man
kind that old age units one to earn {
living by manual labor. Who will
give job of hard work to man over
sixty? We have seen that our Pen
sion Office has for many years recog
nized old aged as a legal disability
affecting the fitness OF veteran sol
dier or sailor to earn a support. Presi'
dent Roosevelt declares this fnabllit.
begins at the age OF sixty-two. Tha
is true; and Roosevelt has the same
authority to fix the pensionable perio!

they were in power. Officers of the.

\ Nibsley girls because her father had
become rich three years before Nibs-
ley made his strike.
| BY manipulating corner in wheat
Holton had cleaned up fully 100000.
OF course Nibsley's mining venture
had turned out a million better than
that. but even in the west the ones
who have been rich the longest are the
ones who have the greatest social
prestige.
So, as Mrs. Nibsley and her fair
daughter figured it out. going to live
in New York and getting themselves
recognized there was the only means
Miss Holton.
Humboldt Nibsley was q good hus-
band and kind father, and he readily
consented, therefore, to 90 all that lay
in his power to help his women folks
| to come it over the Holton girl. In
good time 1t came to pass that he
placed the matter before certain New
York real estate firm. and in the short
space of six weeks glad tidings were
received.
An option hao been secured on q
building lot that was only 167 feet
from Fifth avenue. 1t was out of the
question. the gentlemanly agents

who was not related by mar, age to tbs
nobility, could come to New York from
the west and have place OF Fifth av-
enue itself.
But to ga within 167 feet Of the
social center right at the start was a
triumph CT no small proportions.
The agents were directed to close the
deal at once, and joy reigned in the
Nibsley household. The ladies planned
to travel in Europe while the building
was going on, and they hoped to be
able when they returned to bring at
least one or two titled gentlemen with
them to look their new home over and
inquire into papa's assets end iabili-
ties generally.
For six months joy-supreme Joy
was theirs. They had met en- English
earl. German count, three French
marquises and so many Russian
princes that they had quit counting
them. They had sent postal cards
home from the Riviera and had been
photographed in gondolas with st.
Marks in the background. Social
triumph was almost within their reach,
when To-! their air castles went down
in heaps Of unlovely ruins. Also their
New York castle, into which they were
getting ready to move. ceased to I'LL
them with joy. Old man Holton had
bought place that was only 1891 feet
from Fifth avenue
Thus the Nibsleys missed the goal
by three feet six inches, and Clara Hol-
ton continued to keep the point of her
nose high In the air.
Truly the way to social glory Is .
way Of many slips and dreadful I'M
certainties.

Getting Rid Of Surplus Wealth

The distribution of wealth is the greatest problem

myself to know how great are the inequalities in the
