The legislative robbery that is going
on in congress this winter is greater
than ever known il the world before.
All the old soldiers now get what is
practically a service pension under the
imperial order issued last summer by
Roosevelt Why should hundreds OF
pensions be granted by special act OF
congress? One day last week the house
took up the private pension order OF
business and new speed record was
made by passing 459 special pension
bills in 10S minutes Think of that!
Did any parliamentary body on earth
ever steal at that rate before? With
rare exceptions everyone of these bills
is a steal, to pay off some political
debt. Not a daily in the United States
saws word about this enormous cor
ruption. All the notice taken OF this
4 sort of business, was the bare state
ment of the fact that 459 pension bills
were passed in 108 minutes and that
was printed in the smallest type used
in a newspaper and put in the mos!
inconspicuous place that could be
, found in the great 16-page paper. "A
murder or a divorce case would have
+ been announced in type three inches
| lcng and perhaps printed in red ink
According to the New York Herald
!. canvas of the United States senat
there are just seven republican sena
tors who favor tariff revision-Lodg
and Crane of massachusetts, Spoone
and Quarles Of Wisconsin, Dolliver Q
Iowa and Hopkins of Illinois. 1t say
that there are several more who can b
whipped in" by the president by re
fusing them patronage.

A lot of Russian priests were driven
off the battle field in the Russian lines
who were administering to the wound
ed and dying because they belonged to
a sect of the Russian church which in
sisted on crossing themselves with two
fingers instead of three. The soldiers
who belonged to that sect refused the
administration of the regular clergy
who insisted on the three fingered
crossing. From accounts in the papers
this seems to have stirred up great
row, not only in the military camps
but all over Russia.

opposed to making the
banks pay interest on government de-
posits. They are SO besotted and DOM
mated by the money power that they
see nothing wrong in taxing money out

tain favored banks to loan and pocket
the interest. There never was a more
damnable thing done by any govern
ment. The gifts and monopolies OF the

as bad as that. They never publicly

money to their favorites. Not one OF
