ayers IN permitting the State Commit
tee TO adopt q resolution Of indorse-
meBt by a vote of 10 to 6, others are
inclined to question their judgment in
It TO go through unless the
vote stood 1S to or 10 to 2, or in
other words a practically unanimous
vote. Moreover, the vote of IL to 10
against the elimination of Senators
Foraker and Dick, in the opinion Of
politicians, serves but to call atten-
ton once more to the lack of ac-
cord in the party, and this is not re-
gardet as particularly auspicious for
ANY and all candidates. Politicians
here and elsewhere outside of Ohio
will keep their eyes on that state
constantly, and this is especially true
of other Presidential candidates. The
Buckeye State will continue in the

STATE PENSION LAW

u will be well to make haste slowly
In taking any favorable action toward
establishing state pension list of
veterans of the civil war. The plan is
warmly advocated by General r. b.
Brown, national commander Of the
G.. A. r. who undoubtedly Is sincere
In his belief that II would be Just and
deserved recognition for past services.
But II is by no means certain that
General Brown represents the ma
jority sentiment Of the organization
.of which he is at present the most
figure, and there are
reasons for believing that many OF his
own comrades would not be In favor
of the plan.
SO far as can be recalled, the only
Northern state having such a state
soldiers pension list Is Maine, and 1t
is probable that law is taken as the
basis for the present agitation in fav-
or OF the adoption of the plan here.
In Maine any veteran of the civil war
may obtain a small pension from the
state by making affidavit that he is
unable 10 support his family because
of age or physical infirmity. II does
not matter that he already is on the
pension list of the federal govern
ment; he will be able to draw his
state ension regardless Of that fact.
Many of the Southern states maintain
pension lists for their own soldiers.
but that is because a Confederate vet
eran, being unable to obtain a pension
from the federal government, would be
unprovided for in his age and in
firmity unless he is aided by his state.
lt is not probable, as has been said.

plan, for 1t would put them In the

Ohio opera house managers, in ses-

upon a plan to protect themselves
against transforming theatrical com
panies which travel about making
false pretenses of being high class
organizations. That is one move in
which the managers will be heartily
supported by the theater-going people,
who are the real sufferers at the

THE SOLDIERS PAY.

The general staff of the army Is
busy compiling tables of statistics
and reports to explain why 1t is
impossible to keep an army of 10000
men recruited to full strength. This
looks like wasted time and effort with
the pay of the private at Sl3 month
and 81 a month extra for service over
seas. In war times or hard times
men flock to the recruiting stations.
When times are good, wages are high
and labor is scarce they stay away.
The American youth seems to have no
normal appetite for garrison soldier
ing.
The most bitter complaint comes
from the coast artillery and signal
corps officers. They spend three
years training a recruit TO be a skill
full mechanic or electrician and he
can command so much more money
when his service expires than before
that he has even less inclination
for re-enlistment than his type has
for original enlistment.
Congress cannot change the natural
disposition OF the countrys young
men by legislation, nor does anyone
want to see such a metamorphosis.
But congress can raise the civil war
time table Of army pay to some thing
more nearly approaching modern
standards. This is most important in
the cases of the noncommissloned Of
ticers, who are the backbone of the
army Kipling says. Since the law
requires standard army II should be
provided for. Incidentally,
while congress is about 1t. the scale
Of salaries paid the lower grades of
officers should be reformed as we'll
At present no officer without private
means can hope TO be free from the
debts with which he is compelled TO
start before he is at least a major and
more probably Lieutenant colonel.
And he gets in debt in the first place
for the big wardrobe of uniforms which
the government requires him to have.
