P~icayune April 23.
Although there could be M
denying that President Roosevelt
exceeded his authority when he
authorized the issuing of the
order by the Commissioner OF
Pensions, opening the pension
roll to those veterans of the Civil
War who have hitherto been ex
Guided by reason of the absence
of disability, Congress has
supinely appropriated the money
required to put the Presidents
ruling into effect, although re

ton of Legislative enactment.
Congress has again and again
refused to pass a service pension
bill, but that fact did not stand
IN the way of executive action
when the matter of securing the
OFT soldier vote in the Presi-
dental campaign came into the
calculation. On the himsy pre-
text that veterans who have
reached sixty years of age and
more are practically disabled, an
order was issued placing all such
veterans on the pension rolls.
AS the war is now forty years
passed, this new ruling practi
cally places on the pension roll
every man who served in the
Federal Army, except the hon.
ored few who, feeling themselves
able to earn an honest living.
scorn to accept public charity.
The pension business was bad
enough prior to the recent order.
as it was well known that thou.
without the least disability
were living off the public bounty.
and now thousands more are to
be added to the roll who have no
semblance of a claim to be there.
many of them not having even
reached the front at all, having
entered the army after the close

The masses of the people who /
