The Real Pension Evil.

The pension system Is expensive, but
that is not the worst of 1t. Tho pon-
sion system Is un-American and de-
grading. Our nation owes It's virllity
70 the self-reliance Of the men who
made it. The founders designed that
Its chief aim should be to promote
reliance-thnt men should learn
to rely upon themselves, upon their
own brain and Drawn. and not upon
the favors Of government, for their
i success The only function of govern
ment, as they conceived 1t. was to give
each man the same opportunity before
4 the law that every other man had,
and to prevent trespass. The pension
system is at cross purposes with this
original design The whole tendency
Y of it is to encourage mendicancy and
to create a dependent class. We doubt
not that many man who fought
under the Stars and Stripes In tho War
between the States has been largely
y DESTROYED by his pension, when other
wise he might have been an indus
tr,ous and useful citizen. The COM
4 mand of God Almighty that man
should live by the sweat OF his brow
was given In divine wisdom and bench
~ q. 1t is want that begets work
am struggle, and it is work and
strrrr1e that make character Nand
manhood. How many boy mas oeeh
ruined by inherited riches!
The wost Of all the pension mon
strossities is the service pension Din
recently passed by Congress, and to
which we have more than once al
,ndea. IT makes every veteran over
ii sixty-two a pensioner whether ne
chooses to be or not. He may be hale
hearty and independent, but the gov
eminent says that he is disabled"
n and Il $ help, that he must be num-
bered {,af the pensioners and forced
Into the dependent class In spite Of
himself.
Some men will be manly enough to
refuse the aims which the govern
ment offers, but many others will
jump at 1t, and their energies ond
manhood will be impaired to that
extent. 1t is a bill to encourage beg
gary. and that should have been It's
title.
:S Why did such bill pass with sc
little opposition? Because, God save
the mark. n was good politics tc
vote Tor it, and poor politics to vote
against 1t. We have seen the state
3 ment somewhere that Southern Demo
ornts were once warned by thei
. party associates at the North that
would embarrass the Northern Demo
crazy for the Southern Democracy t
fight paclon bills. And SO the graf
has gouS WI. and so it continues t
go on; nAS heaven only knows Whei

A Case in Point.

There Is complaint in Georgia that the
fruit-growers of Texas get better rate
than the frut-growers Of Georgia, and
the Interstate Commerce Commission
ia making an investigation, But the
FLORIDA Tmes-unon points out that dis
elimination in favor of the Texas pro-
ducers is necessary to the frult-growing
Industry in that State.
"Texas fruit" says our contemporary,
Cannot pay the same rate as aeorsla
fruit and be sold. This Is true, no mat
ter what the Georgia rate might be- II
81 were very high and the Texas rate
equally high, Texas would be shut out
OF the markets. II 1t We're very low
and the Texas rate no lower, tile result
would be the same,
IF Texas fruit were shut out of the
n markets the roads which now haul It
would have no fruit business They do
not haul Gsorgil fruit. SO to create bust
& ness they might charge less than the
K Georgia rate, even II that rate were
less than might reasonably be charged
The roads serving Texas might have the
choice of making a little money out of a
very low rate or none out of one not
85unreasonably high. III making 1t low
tisy would save the fruit industry Of
tSHleEHS from ODllltihlIOI. lIty WOulu
make Texas to grow fruit al a profit.
This would be commendable and would
be appreciated by the men whom the
Texas roads serve.
sBut next comes the Interstate Com
merce Commission and cuts the Georgia
rate to the Texas rate Then the Texas
\ fruit-growing industry liz killed, even
while enjoying low rates for II needs
not low rates, but lower rates than arc
f given competitors nearer the markets
The roads hauling Texas products must
cut again 10 save the Industry and get
any business from 1t. Then another

There were angels at her side,
