Fraud All Thru.

Hiram Sinclair, Co. I. LIST Ohio Cav,
Hartford City, Ind, has been taking The
National Tribune for 20 years. He
thinks pensions are a fraud all thru.
Some get all and some none. The man
who is wounded and disabled gets COM
paratively nothing, and the man who
is drafted and came back in three
months draws $50 a month. Referring
to the pension recently granted the
widow of Gen. Hawley, he says 1t isn't
fair that the wives of some Of the poor
soldiers should still be at the washtub
trying to support their families, while
such as Mrs. Hawley are abroad edu-
eating their children on the generous
pension awarded by Congress"

1t is only fair to say that our more
cordial relations and increased trade
with the sister Republic of Mexico at
the end of his four years service most
highly approved his selection as En-
bassador at the Aztec Capital, while the
social and friendly relations between
himself and President DiaZ continue to
be one of the most pleasant incidents in
the life of Secretary Ryan, who regards
the venerable Mexican President as one
Of the greatest men of the world.

law business, Mr.. Ryan was, on the 1st
day of April, 1897, appointed First As
Sistant Secretary of the Interior by
President Mckinley.
1t is an interesting fact that Mr.. Nc
Kinley and Mr.. Ryan We're elected to

President goes forth unaccompanied, says Charles Somerville in the Broadway Magazine
 Back from this morning constitutional, at ten-thirty, he dictates his private cor respondence, and sharply on the stroke of eleven Secretary Loeb makes his ap pearance. The hurrying secretary comes to the house in the big, white Secret Service automobile-the only automobile with any right of way at all on the pri- vate road. From one to three assistants are with him. The official mail Is car rled in big leather pouches. Two hours of the fastest sort of work goes on then, and Secretary Loeb and his assistants do not look any too fresh when they re sume their seats in the white automo- bile and taken back to the execu- tive offices in the village
 During his daily morning visit, Sec retary Loeb acquaints the President with the names of his visitor or visitors for the day. At one In the afternoon the President is ready to receive them. Us- nally, however, they have already been received by Mrs. Roosevelt, There is no form of etiquette observed, and If vis- itor arrives before the President has finished his statesmanly labors, the Chief Executive looking through his study

DAY IN PRESIDENTS LIFE.
A Near View of President Roosevelt
 While He Is Recuperatlne.

The usual daily programme of tho President while he is at Oyster Bay be- gins with his bounding out of bed (and that is really his characteristic method of beginning the day) and hastening for the shower bath. The hour Is never later than seven. He takes the shower cold as cold as he can get it. There is a prodiglous splashing of water, and 1t is a man with color surging In his cheeks who seeks the breakfast table. He is in- variably attired then. for a ride brooches, soft shirt and crash coat with his big Panama lying on q convenient chair in the hallway. On the way from the breakfast room to his mount, he makes q stop of from ten to twenty min utes in hls study.

 Mrs. Cromwell was for mL-y years on the staff of the Chicago Saturday Even ing Herald and also contributed litreary articles, a serial, "The Romance of His tory" She is chairman of the publica- ton bureau of the Woman's National Press association. Soon after Mrs Crom- well became a member of that organiza- tion she established the bureau and was made it's manager. This bureau publish ed a monthly booklet, Potomac Series" Through the national association was formed the International Union, with 130 members. They were received by President Mckinley, who responded to Mrs. Crom- we.l's address at the time that she pre- sented the members.
 The Woman's National Press associa- ton was again received at the White House by President Roosevelt, when Mrs. Cromwell. in introducing the delegates. recalled the time during MT.

Jewish Zion Is In America.

From Leslie's Weekly
 In an address before the Jewish Chau- tauqua at Atlantic City, MT Jacob H. Schiff, the well known New York bank CT, one of the most prominent of the American members of the race, said that the real Zion of the Jews Is in the United States. He opposes the prof ect of estab fishing the headquarters Of the race in Palestine, its old home. The Zionist movement which had for its object the concentration of all the world Jews in that locality he declares is impractical ble, and it's advocates are finding this out. There Is sense In MT. Schiff's words. Of the 100000 Jews in the world, Russia has 5.000,O0O, Aus tria- Hungary has 100000, and the United States has 1,500,000. These three countries head the list The figures for Russia and Austria are five or SIX years old, however, and will need to be di- minish ed somewhat on account of the persecution in those countries, but par ticularly in Russia, and the heavy inn migration of Jews from both of them into the United States. Probably the United States has almost as many Jews in 1907 as are to be found in Francis Joseph's empire. Half of the 100000 Jews in the United States reside in New York city Every sixth person met on the streets of New York is Jew. There are c dozen times IS many Jews in New York as were In Jerusalem at the height of Israers power.

 Dowerless they come, all of them. Some have but the clothes they wear, few cheap trlnSets, and no household belong ings. But they have high courage, implic- it faith in the men of their choice and a love that Is willing to face any obstacles. Their passages have been paid for them by their prospective husbands, and they come on their strange journey with no misglyings.
