SOLDIER WANTS EXTRA PAY.
Philippine service Men Overlooked
by Former Bill of Congress.

by OB1HSf Dill Oh NOnSsEsss
Editor The Washington Herald:
All men who have served in the army
will. I feel sure, be glad that the Me
Cumber pension and service bill has
passed both Houses Of Congress, aud now
only awaits the signature of President
Roosevelt. As a Spanish war soldier, l
believe / voice the sentiments of all my
comrades when say that the McCumber
bill is just and patriotic piece Of legis-
lation. The survivors Of the civil war
and Mexican war will have soon passed
away. They are deserving Of the amount
Of pension Congress has voted them.
Now, while Congress is passing bills in
favor Of the soldiers. many special pen
sion acts being placed on the statute
books. there is one class Of deserving
soldiers which is being overlooked. per
haps not intentionally.
I refer to a number Of men who were
in volunteer service in the Philippine
Islands As the volunteered regiments
IN the Philippine service were mustered
out, each soldier who was in the service
was given, by an act OF Congress, two
months extra pay While not a great
amount in itself, il helped many TO pay
their fare from San Francisco. Cal, 10
their homes. Another class of soldiers
vino were mustered out Of the service did
not get this two months extra pay. We
believe that when Congress gave this lit
tie extra bounty to the men who We're
mustered out with their regiments. those
who happened TO be priorIy ''honorably
discharged" were intended TO be benefited
by the same act, although none Of Us 50
far, I have been informed, have been
given this two months extra pay.
il is said that several such claims have
been allowed by the Court of Claims. a
great many Of Us are barred By the
statute Of limitation. as no claim viii be
considered by the Court Of Claims Of
over six years standing This rule knocks
hundreds Of us out Of this little amount
of money. and 1 am told that our only
redress Is in an appeal to Congress. VIII
not some friend of the soldiers who
served in the Philippines in either House
Of Congress. take this matter up and
right an apparent wrong TO those of US
who were hOnOrably discharged prior 10
the muster out Of our regiments?
J. for one. feel sure that If the matter
was brought before Congress the hun
dreds Of US affected would be paid the
two months extra salary.

Funeral Yesterday Was Largely Attended.

of this period he returned to King
wood, where he continued in active
practice To the tine of his death,
having as his partner in the last
year Mr.. J. Ben Brady. of the King
wood bar.
OF Col. Monroe II may be truth
fully said that he was one of Gods
noblemen, within the full meaning
of that term, or expression, equipped
with splendid mental capacity, and
mind stored with such an sccumu-
lation OF all that belongs to The
highest education in the profession
he adopted as his lite work-to
gether with broad and most liberal
attainments in all other directions.
where the highest and best thoughts
are to be found; with commanding
presence, a strong and forceful de-
batter, always maintaining that cour-
teous ant gentle bearing which
marks the true gentleman, he won
the hearts of all with whom he came
in contact, both in business and on
the social side of life.
He never allowed himself to be
governed or swayed in the least de-
gree by anything other Il an that
which appealed TO his highest and
best conception of justice and
equity. His integrity was nnassail-
able. He was public spirited and
always active in the promotion of
any and all enterprises and move
ments calculated to produce the
greatest good to his community, and
was always trusted as among the
wisest and safes: of counselols IN
public affairs. a most generous and
kindly spirit pervaded and was a
part of every act of his life, both
public and private.
1t has been said that no man wa.
ever successful without making more
or less enemies in the struggle oil
life, but it is doubtful if any man,
within the knowledge of those who
knew Col. Monroe, ever attained the
prominence and was as widely
known as he; who ever passed to the
"great beyond" leaving as few who
bore him i'll will as did he.
A faithful worker tor the good OF
