More Consideration from the Govern

More Consideration from the Govern
me9f..sn
Editor National fhribHne: While
do not feel like crowding tho wants of
the old soldiers too much to the front,
yet I think that in view of the ines
-timable service we rendered the coun-
try in freeing It from tho curse of slay-
cry, thereby putting lit on the sure road
to unity and prosperity, we have the
right to expect rathef more considera-
ton from the Government than is given
those who come to us from foreign
countries. All such; come to this land
of the free to reap The benefits which
our service and hardships made possi-
BILE, and not only them, but our own
rising generation is benefited thru our
efforts We old soldiers should appre-
ciate what the Government has already
done for u.s. and I believe We do. gen.
orally; but think there is one partic-
uiar wherein the gray-haired veterans
are not treated fairly and are entitled
to consideration which would be no
more than simple justice. This would
Many of the veterans have never
availed themselves of the homestead
privileges, simply because they were
unable to fulfil the conditions of resi-
dence on the land. Their age and ply
steal condition prevents them from do
ing pioneer work, and consequently
they lose, thru no fault of their own,
what justly belongs to them. They are
obliged to look on and see rush of
foreigners come to this country and
avail themselves of this privilege. Now,
would it be considered presumption on
the part of the veterans to ask that
the Government either give them the
land warrants outright, or the equiv
alent in cash at the Government price
of S1.25 per acre, or whatever price
might be considered right? The land
warrants they could either use them
selves or dispose of as they saw fit,
thus receiving some direct benefit, in
most cases much needed and thank
fully received. / should be pleased to
have this matter agitated and the opin-
ion of others called out on this sub

election. A committee was appointed
consisting of James G.. Elwood, P. C.
Hayes, L. Mack, w. II. Nevens and AL
bert o. Marshall.
The circular sets forth the fact that
Comrade Woods was one of the organ
iZers of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, and was associated with Comrade
B. F. Stephenson from the first. 1t
says:
Comrade Woods wrote the Declara-
ton of Principles, the Constitution and
Bylaws in substance as they are to-
day. He wrote the Charter for De-
catur Post, No. i, and prepared for
forms for reports and returns of Posts,
etc. DevOting his time gratuitiouSly
and al his own expense, he established
the Departments west of the State of
Pennsylvania, and from that time to
the present he has ever been an enthus-
iastic, indefatigable and determined
worker for and supporter of the Grand
Army of the Republic.
Comrade Woods entered the Illinois
State service in May, 1861, in the office
of the Quartermaster General. Follow
ing this he was for time mastering
troops into the United States service,
and then served in the office of the
great war Governor, Richard Yates;
and thence into the field as Adjutant Of
the Gath Ill.-"Yates's Sharpshooters, :
where his service was enviable and
honorable, he having been twice brev-
cited for gallant and meritorious SER
vice in the field.
In private life the record Comrade
Woods bears is equally brilliant and
patriotic with his army career. We
feel the Grand Army of the Republic.
which he aided in founding and form
ing, can now most consistently honor
him as the Commander-in-Ch his
own State having made him Depart
ment Commander, in which capacity he
left record unsurpassed.

The Cnnteen In Soldiers Home.

The Temperance Club of the Soldiers
Home at Danville, ILL.,, has unanimous
ly adopted resolutions saying that pc
ttions have been circulated thru the
Home asking Congress to continue the
existence Of the canteen. The MEM
bers of the club say from personal ex-
perience and observation the drinking Of
Intoxicating liquors is the prime cause
of all the disorder and unpleasantness
in the Home, causing great annoyance
to all sober and orderly men; that the
maintenance of the canteen is regarded
by inebriateS as an approval of the
drink habit. They. therefore. protest
strongly against it.

Sometimes it is possible to take a

following manner: Rub the spot gently,

iron on it for half an hour or more.
