Old Soldiers Take Notice.

The Auditor of the War Department
has just issued the following circular:
The act of March 4, 1907, applies to
soldiers of the Civil war only and
makes no provision for the payment of
any bounty other than that previously
authorized by law. 1t does not author
lie the payment of any new bounty.
Nearly all soldiers, or their heirs, have
already received all bounty due under
existing laws. The following cases
only are affected by this act:
1. Where additional bounty under
the act of July %, 1866. has been de-
MED because it was not claimed before
July 2, 1880, it may now be allowed.
This bounty is not due in any case
where the soldier has received more
than 800 bounty altogether for all his
services, and is never allowed to any
but two or three years men. 1t is not
payable to soldier discharged before
he has served two years to accept pro-
motion, or for a disability other than
wounds received in service and in line
of duty, or to drafted men or substi-
tutes
e. Where a soldier received an ad-
vance installment of the $500 recruit
bounty, or of the $500 veteran bounty
and was required to refund, or pay
back S25 of that advance installment
because he was discharged by promo
ton, or otherwise before service of
two years as an enlisted man, said s25
may be allowed.
This law does not apply to sailors
who served in the navy only.
In all letters to the Auditors Office
the full name of the soldier and each
company and regiment in which he
served, with the dates of enlistments
and discharge as near as can be
given. should be stated. If the SOL
der is dead the relationship of the
nearest of kin should also be given.

such carriers. The increase is based
on the number of miles travelled by
rural carriers Those traversing twen-

A Town Clerk Contest

Politics have been the theme and
story in Scituate for the past two
weeks. The people OF the town are
having little political feast OF their
own, but interest in the town elections.
which come OF next Wednesday, is by
no means confined TO the limits of the
town. Ii has been talked of in all
parts of the state and the returns of
next Wednesdays voting will be read
with interest from Westerly TO Woon.
socket. The present town clerk, Hon.
Henry II. Potter, is the central figure
in the contest. Mr.. Potter has held
the office for six years 10 the salts
faction Of the great majority of the
people Of the town. He has been
capable in the discharge of the duties OF
the Office and courteous and accom-
modating to those with whom he came
in contact. In fact Mr.. Potter has
made well nigh ideal town clerk and
had he not had the misfortune OF rep
resenting two political parties in the
General Assembly, his popularity as
a town official would never have been
even questioned. 1t is sometimes diff
ficult TO represent one party during n
stormy session of a legislature and
come forth generally beloved, but the
task of pleasing a joint constituency
OF Democrats and Republicans is one
from which an angel well might
shrink. Still Mr.. Potter's legislative
career has not been "A bad one and his
record will stand the close scrutiny of
any fair-minded citizen. Just what his
legislative sins of commission or omis-
sion have been We do not know The
charges against him have been so
vague and general that it seems a
most absurd thing for the people of
Scituate to sacrifice a capable and pop
ular town clerk for the imaginary mis-
takes of general assemblyman who
was called upon to play difficult role
The Times has little doubt of Mr.. Pot
ter's reelection, for the office which he
holds is one in which changes are
made with much reluctance. A good
town clerk, like a poet, is born and
not made, and Scituate people are
more than likely TO retain the present
incumbent
