THE PENSION CRAFT.

Craft is a new word in the sense
in which it is now so often used. To
define il as "a successful scheme
whereby money is drawn from a pub
lie treasury for or by person under
color of law but in violation of the
priciple of strict honesty would
probably be as nearly correct as a
1exicographer could make it. And
so defined, says the Augusta Herald
our national pension system IS d
gigantic game of graft.
The paying of pensions to persons
who. for services rendered or because
of inability to earn a living them
selves after having rendered valuable
service, is just and proper. For the
government to care for soldiers VINO
were disabled in the country's service
is right. For the government to care
for dependent widows and children
of such soldiers is also right. This is
what our national pension system
purports to do. This it does, and
much more, continues our contem-
porary. Not only does it pay all such
ex-soldiers and widows and children,
but it pays pensions to hundreds OF
thousands besides upon fraudulent
claims.
And it is a detestable, demoraliz-
ing, diabolical game of grating that
is being continually enlarged.
The pension appropriation asked
for this year is $175,000,00O. Just
think of it! Until nearly the begin
ming of the war the entire expense
of our government was only about
one dollar per capita, and now these
pension grafters have become so out
rageeusly rapacious that it requires
over two dollars per capita just to
fill their greedy maws.
1t has been over forty years since
the close of the civil war. In the
wars of the country since that time
not enough men were in the fields to
constitute an appreciate amount, If
liberal pension were paid to all en-
titled to it by reason of death or dis
ability in this service. Yet steadily
have the pension lists. grown. The
soldiers who fought in Che civil war
have nearly all passed away. Their
children are all grown, the youngest
of them being now past middle age.
Widows of old soldiers in needy cir
cunistancesa are but few in number.
An honest pension roll would not be
large. But forty years after the close
of that war the pension list is larger
than ever before There is con-
slant scramble by thousands to be put
on that list. A very large number Of
bills passed by congress are special
pension bills. The pension business
has become a gigantic, sickening,
greedy grab into the public treasury
a clear case of grating.
While trying to reform abuses the
trusts are not the only things that
need regulating. 1t is time to take
these pension grafters in hand and
put a stop to their gigantic plumber
scheme.

This Is mainly accountable for by the
fact that il was the first game in
which the college men have played
and being up against professionals
they We're not at ease. The diamond
was sloppy, especially in the outfield
and any hit outside the infield gener-
ally meant at least one base. Two
baggers were also numerous. Coach
Dickerson used his regular team
throughout most the game. The
only new man who played was Sol
insky at catcher He showed up well
especially al the bat. Jordan pitch
ed good ball for the collegians and
succeeded in tanning a number of
the professionals.
The teams lined up as follows:
California 49, Jordan, pitcher, John

GOTHAM SCHOOL CHILDREN.
Boys and Girls Suffer for Food and

NEW YORK, February 6-Mrs Jennie
NJ. Tower. principal Of Public School No.
ia. at No. 73 Oliver street. wept for ten
minutes yesterday noon as she watched
two lines of pupils in her school being
provided by private charity with milk and
bread to keep them from fainting al their
desks through cold and hunger. The
little girls of the school were fed with
hot milk. The boys received two slices of
bread. The donation came from a woman
who had learned Of. conditions at the
school, but did not wish her name to be
made known.
~ used to wonder" said Mrs Tower
why so many of the children never went
home at nOontime. ] asked them why
they did not go and get some lunch.
whats the use?' ~ was the answer l
generally received.
Then / realized that scores of the little
children knew that the pantry at home
was empty. l learned. too. that many of
the children did not even have any break

my heart break.
Many Come to School Hungry.
az have given up sending for aid to
charity societies." added Mrs. Tower II
have about 800 children in this school. and
find that the societies when applied to
often try to separate the families that are
in want. 1t does not seem to me that ap-
peals bringing about such a result as that
are kind.
Il have never dared determine definite
| ~ what proportion of the children here
are in destitute circumstances. They are
doing splendid work in the school, and
yet L know that a great many of them
are utterly untitled through want to take
| up the work outlined for them. Many Of
| them come to school hungry and go all
day without a bite to eat
| Like little Spartans, they refuse to
complain until they faint at their work.
Even then they hate to admit that they
are not being properly fed Many ma
tionalities are joined in this school. but
all have sense Of pride which prevents
their mentioning their troubles.
Calico in Zero Weather.
There has been one little girl who has
come to school through the bitterest
weather with simply a little calico Dress
She has no coat of any kind. This after
noon one of the teachers came to me and
asked if she could send out and get a
warm shirt for little boy in her class
who has won distinction because of his
| brightness.
Many of our children hate to see the
school close for the day. Their parents
are out at work and the fires in their
homes are eXtinguished. Throughout the
| late hours of the afternoon the children
| have no place to go where they can keep
| warm.
| Lack of food is the greatest cause of
| distress. however. Sometimes children
| faint in their classes and are resuscita ted
| through food which the teachers send out
| for and get. l think the plan proposed
| by Supt. Maxwell. of having the city sup
ply lunches in case of need. is splendid
| idea. l believe there is not the least
danger of its being abused, for. have
said, the children all have a keen sense
| of pride and would prefer to go, to their
homes if they knew they could secure
| food there
