Survivors of the Civil War.

Figures lust given out by the COM
missioner Of pensions, along with those
published in connection with the Grand
ARMY encampment at Denver, show in
n striking fashion the rate at which the
veterans of the Civil war are passing
AWAY. During the past year, 1925 MEM
bers of the Grand Army have died,
while the commissioner of pensions
shows that death has caused a de-
crease of 5000 names among the vete-
rams on the pension rolls. The decline
on the pension rolls is not so much as
that in the Grand Army during that
time, because disability increases with
applications for pensions every year for
some time to come.
The commissioner Of pensions reports
that there are now OH the pension rolls
the names of 6s46OS survivors of the
Civil War, also the names of 313. S33
others. widows, orphans and depend
ents of the civil war and also Spanish
War pensioners. At the close of the
Civil War. the army of the Union, May
1. 1865, had a strength of 1,00O,516 men,
so it appears that, today, 40 years later,
there are living and on the pension
rolls about 20 out of every 100 officers
and men mustered out of the national
service at the close of the great Civil
War. This proves both that it was Il
young mans war and that our soldiers
came from hardy stock and it also
shows that the country is justly gener-
Gus in it's pension regulations. Within
the next few years however, there is
certain to be rapidly increasing death
rate among those grizzled and honored
old veterans who saved their country in
the dark and bloody days of the COS.

FeudaIlsm was at It's height during
the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth
centuries.
Cbiyalry was an 0utRrwth Of feu-
dalism. II was composed Of an or
der Of knights, pledged TO defend the
oppressed who needed their help, aud
the church. The knights were sup
posed to be gentle, bold and brave.
but often the reverse was true.
ChiyaIry began 10 decline In the
fifteenth century. The same causes
which led to the downfall Of Feud.
tligm led also TO the downfall Of
Chiyalry. --namely--the advance of
civilization. and the changes IN the
mode Of warfare; such as the inven-
ton Of guupOwder, which rendered
the common foOtsoldiers as strong

has left some good results TO ciyili-

and generosity for which the nations
Of today are noted.

GIVE Us A BETTER FORM
OF BALLOT.

For nearly fifteen years the voters
Of Wisconsin have endured The bur
dens and perplexIties Of about thu
worst form of ballot that could be de
ylsed The legislature Of 1880 gave
us the Cooper election law ana n very
excellent form Of ballot. The legisla
ture Of 1891 very unwlsely changed
both law and the ballot; and tinker
ing along the same line has been In
dulged In by each succeeding legisla'
tire ever since. The present blanket
ballot IL u monstrosity and Disgrace
TO the state, and from its use II long
suffering people should be speedily
delivered. The Madison Democrat
says:
"The New York newspapers Of all
forms Of political faith are asking for
deliyerance from the cumbersome form
Of ballot IN vogue there and the exec.
utiye committee Of the citizens union
has voted TO prepare nj once petition
TO the Legislature asking for u repeal
OF the present ballot law and the
adoption of the Massachusetts system
which requires the olector to mark
every individual name for which he
desires to vote. That " the style Of
ballot We In Wisconsin should have.
IL ~ ~ kind that promotes diacrimina-
tive voting that encourages the cltl-
zen 10 learn about the various nOmi-
neea that he may exercise the franchise
undefStandingly, IT III the only
species OF ballot for mn intelligent, In
dependent people. The present method
by which the ignorant partisan may
most readily heed the wishes Of the
bosses by mere cross IN u circle or
square at the top OF II certain column,
thus swallowing n whole party ticket
straight, the rascals with the sifintH
puts premium on both ignorance
and corruption,
1t Is high time this mlschicf.mak'
Ing eontriyance should be cast aside
IN Wisconsin. Governor La Toilette,
II he shall have my influence In state
affairs after his progression To the
senate, should leave 10 his Successors
"A pregnant suggestion In behnlf OF
ballot reform along Massachusetts
lines, Therein lies u purifying and
educational reform Of enduring worth
and monumental proportions. /"
Wisconsin newspapers Of nil forms
Of political faith ought TO Join In n de-
mand for " form Of ballot more he
coming TO great and intelligent com
monwoalth.
We would suggest M II means OF
Fastening the day Of ballot reform,
that n copy Of the Massachusetts form
be secured aud that it be- generally ro-
produced In tho press of this state.
