OUR WAR PENSIONS.

This country IL Just through with the
Revolutionary war. the last beneficiary
on the pension list on account OF that
war, having expired. l2i years after
the conflict. The last on the pension
roll was Mrs. Esther Sumner Damon
OF Plymouth Union, VT. now deceased.

A man seventy-flve years old, who had
fought In the War Of the REVOLUTION
For this marriage the government paid
her pension for some nfty-three
Years and the State Of Vermont re-

chapter OF the Daughters OF the Ameri-
can Revolution has aided In Mrs pa

after the conclusion Of the conflict IN
which her husband fought.
Wars In this country are expensive.
our soldiers and sailors are better paid
than those OF any other nation, ana
the veterans, and those dependent on

Than IN any other country. Nobody be-
o.rudees the old soldiers and their
widows their support. The only trouble
is that sometimes, perhaps, money that
ought to go to those really entitled TO
a pension is paid to others whose claims
are less well founded. The result Is
that the old veterans do not get all
they need and deserve. 1t is not easy

marrying only for the sake OF obtain

LAID TO REST.

Bishop James G. Watson, whose NOR
tai remains were tendorly laid away
in their last resting place, sunday, Nov.
rs. was one Of the well known and
highly respected citizens Of this city.
AS was said by the speakers at the
obsequies. he was alwi :, and under
all circumstances, a faithful Latter-day
Saint. true as steel to his friends and
his God. AS a bishop, he was the
friend OF the poor and father OF his
flock, always kind and willing TO rem
der assistance. The deceased has been
sick for some time, but he bore up
bravely under affection, Iaboring to the
last In the cause Of the Lord. To those
who are near and dear to him, his
departure will be felt as a loss. But
they will ind consolation in the great
truth: HE that believeth In me, though
he were dead, yet shall he live: and
whosoever liveth and belleveth In me,
shall never de- And so, Brother Wat
son Is not dead He lives, and in a
wider sphere Of usefulness than he ever
had this side Of the veil.

SCHOOL ELECTION.

Tho un-Amerlcan attempt at drag
etng the schools OF the city down into
the whirlpool OF partisan politics should
be resisted by all citizens who have the
welfare Of the community at heart.
The assertions made by INSCRIPTIONS
agitators 10 the effect that the schools
are controlled by a church, are on a
par with other falsehoods they have
originated. In order TO create dlssen-
sion and li-feellngs IN the community.
For many years the Board OF Educa-
ton has consisted OF members with dif-
fcrent religious affiliations. Some are
"Mormons." while others are non-"Mor-
mons" But creed has been no con-
sideration. and should not be, since the
schools are outside Of all creeds. Why
should anyone wish to change this con-
dition and make a school election an
other excuse for fanatic assault upon
q church,
Utah has earned a worldwide repu-
tatlon for the efficiency of her schools.
Utah students abroad have spread the
fame of their state and brought home
h0nors. Utah stands third we be-
licve, IN the ranks of States, as re-
CARDS education, Could these results
have been obtained II the schools had
been tho football of ambitious politici-
ans? Look first at the facts; then at
the absurd charges by which an anti
Mormon" crowd proposes to justify It's
contemplated attack upon one OF the
vital interests Of tho community.
The citizens OF Salt Lake need on the
hoard persons with business ability,
who are free from preiudIces and Will
ing to serve the public because they
love the children and the cause Of edu-
cation. And as they have consider
able funds to handle, rs the trusted
servants Of the people, they ought TO
be above suspicion. The party OF wide
open saloons and graft has no claim
upon the confidence OF the citizens.
The retiring members Of the board
have performed their duties well, and
they are entitled TO the gratitude OF
the public They do not deserve the
criticism implied in the assertions that
the schools are under the domination of
81 church. or n party.
Honesty and integrity are qualities
Tint count IN candidates for offices Of
public trust, in this age OF graft and
lax morals Anyone who endeavors
to stir up strife, in order to further his
personal interests. can be properly
BANDED az public enemy.

HIGH PRICES AND HIGH WAGES
New York Times.

Even casual observers of economic
events must have been struck by the
coincidence of the current Increases
of wages and of dividends. Labor at
least cannot complain that 1t Is not
getting It's share when the increases in
wages are larger In percentage and in
total than the increases Of dividends.
Probably even the readers of Mr..
Hearst's newspapers remarked that the
advances are conceded in spite of Mr..
Hearst's defeat and without anything
like opposition. Moreover, the conces-
sion Is led by the most fragrant Of
trusts. On yesterdays list we're Stand

Intelligent laborers will or should re-

exceptions. Some have qualified them
selves for higher duties and the accom-
panying pay. but the majority for the
same or shorter hours are receiving

PHILANTHROPY LAWYERS.
RronklYn Eagle.

In these days of amazing legal fees
IN these days Of queer quirks IN the
law, the lawyer who gives his services
without money to those who have no
money may be regarded as one Of the
anomalies OF our modern social system
Some onc-it matters not who--once
said Law Is a luxury that only the
very rich can afford" a legal retainer
OF $4,000 TO ain expert counselor IL not
uncommon. What would you say, then,
to a retainer OF ten cents, and even
that retainer waived, IL stress OF fnan-
cial circumstances compelled lit What
would you say of attorneys, high In
their profession, whose entire practice
IL zealously devoted to those who have
no penny they can call their own?
Yet there are such lawyers in New
York clty, and their work Is going Oh
day by day. An effort now making to
establish branch OF the Legal Aid So
ciety in Brooklyn has called attention
TO the remarkable service that this
organization has been rendering for
years to the poor man. And II Is III
this organization that you will find the
lawyers whose sole aim is devoted ~
seeing that justice is accorded 10 the
poor.
