The Passing Of the Veterans.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
With alarming frequency reading notices
appear in the press headed death of a
Veteran of the War of the Rebellion" or
words to that effect, and the pathos of the
situation heightens when an examination
of the records disclose the fact, so it is
officially said, that about 1G0 such veterans
pass away every twenty-four hours. or to
bring the sad situation down to closer
analysis, every nine minutes the inexorable
summons comes to some man who marched
away under the flag during the great war.
In round numbers, three-quarters of a
million of those who enlisted between April
u, 1861. and April 8, 1865, are now living,
and fine figuring win be required to
show that it will be but a, short time until
the great problem of pensions to survivors
wi. attain a solution, and the "oid soldier
racket that annoys some alleged states
men and peanut politicians, will cease. And
while this assertion is true, it is surely
proper to say that no government in eX-
istence, per sc, has shown more liberality
TO it's defenders than ours. Scarcely day
passes while the Congress is in session
without some salient evidence being record
ed showing that republics have gratitude,
but when one passes out into the great
highway of life, where the old veteran is
rudely jostled to one side when he appeals
for chance to earn a living; when he is
told in compaSsionless manner that he is
too old to be considered in the race for
subsistence the situation points to the road
that leads to the Soldiers Home. And this,
too, in spite of the fact that the greatest
dehberative body earth, the Senate of
the United States, Is made up of men
whose average age Is long past half
century, while the Supreme Court, than
which there is not more learned judicial
tribunal in the world, is composed of men
OF still higher average age. And very
properly the country is proud of the eff
cheney of these grand men whose judg-
ment and learning increase the years
go by. Not so with the average corpora
ton or business man. They are not seeking
experience as much as they are in search
OF young men with Uniformed habits of
mind and body. That is their undoubted
right, but 1T is hard Judgment upon those
who were indiscreet enough to be born in
the neighborhood of the middle of the nine
teenth century, or who were old enough to
go to the firing line that began formation
after Fort Sumter was assaulted, and who
made it possible for this most prosperous
and happy nation of ours to be today
feared by all countries under the sun for
It's proves in war and all the attributes
C neace.
And so as the shadows creep away into
the twilight and 'the light that is not on
land or sea- comes closer to the veteran
accord him the privilege that accrues to
experience and life of activity, and not
because he wears that badge of valor, the
nttle bronze button, Immediately conclude
that his capacity for service is abridged
thereby. Let his worth be measured by
the square of justice and not by the preju-
dice against age. Gray hairs should indi-
cate superior gray matter.

ANNUAL BANQUET.
Military Order of Loyal Legion to Cele-
brate 23d Anniversary.

: More than 400 invitations have been
accepted to the annual banquet of the
District of Columbia Commandery of the
Military Order of the Loyal Legion, which
will be given at Rauscher's the evening
of February 1. The date selected is the
twenty third anniversary of the institu-
ton of the District Commandery. and its
celebration will be a memorable event in
the history of this patriotic organization.
There will be but two set toasts, and
they will be responded to by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury and Representative
S. L. Powers of Massachusetts. Other
speakers will be called upon informally
however, and it is expected that the even
ing Will be well filled with oratory and
Renaissance. Baron Won Sternburg the
German ambassador, who is now on his
way here from a trip to Germany, ex-
