The Folks Ont West.

Editor National Tribune: In your
Washington News of the 14th inst
you quote the saying of a Mr. Holm
hurst of Salina Kan. Mr. H. has prob
ably not visited the East in many years
before. The writer has made many Wis
its to the West. and spent several years
at different periods in different States
II is by this means we gain a true
knowledge of different neighborhoods
and every trip works a modification of
opinion. Many men go West, and there
witness the changes incident to a new
country and to the changed conditions
of times, and do not realize that the
East has undergone change as well
during their 35 or 40 years absence
Then, too. every Western village has its
"wag of low degree" who amuses his
hearers by coarsely caricaturing the
East and Eastern people. A Westerner

'our bank" of $4,000 capital or one
horse factory than the Fastener will
about million-dollar bank and an i'm
mense factory. The down Easter takes
such things as commonplace. The local
pride of the Westerner may be COM
mendable, but 1t is provincial and little
and narrow, if it is amusing, even ludi-
crous. The Eastern people know the
West much better than the West knows
the East. The Westerner looks out
and sky. and imagines himself one of
Gods wonderful creations, and, like the
snail in It's little shell, imagines his is
the finest palace in the world and he
the most corpulent occupant. The re-
mark made by Mr.. III. about 1.-The East

as well as his want of knowledge of
facts. He seems not to know that the
"skinning" was not done by the East
erner, but by his own skin-quick neigh
Dor. These loans were secured at the
instance of his local banks; the East
erner asked and got only six per cent,
while the local bank added three to five
per cent. and this difference went into
the pockets of the local skinner. AS Mr..
II. is a Swede, it is probable that what
he thinks he knows about the East is
gained from the horny-handed village

Kansas is doing well, and we are all
proud of her, because she is daughter
of the East; but in view of her late
paroxysm of Bryan-Populism, from
which she is happily recovering. her
sons should not be too arrogant. What
she is the East has made her by sending
her sons and her wealth there, and up

Greeting From National Press COrre-
sp0ndent.

Editor National Tribune: bring New
Years greetings from the Woman's Re-
lief Corps, with wishes for a prosperous
year.
Our Order is prospecting all along the
lines. Quarterly reports in the differ
ent Departments show an increase of
membership. Patriotic Instructors are
doing active work with the rural
schools, and more interest in patriotism
is being taken by educators in schools
and colleges.
The Grand Army Posts are making
great effort to get all veterans en-
rolled as members. The ranks are thin
ming. During the last year death has
cut great swaths in the membership of
the Grand Army Of the Republic, not
counting those outside the breastworks.
The G. A. r. as an organization never
held a higher place in public estima-
ton than to-day. 1t is the only organ
izatfon of veterans recognized by the
public.
The Sons of Veterans as an organ
ization is awaking to the responsibility
before it of perpetuating the principles
their fathers fought to maintain. They
need encouragement from the Woman's
Relitf Corps. There are many ways We
as an Order can assist them. One is
the financial help we can give to Me-
mortal University.
Arrangements for National Encamp-
ment are being planned. Commander
in-Chief Burton, of the Grand Army of
the Republic, and the National Presi-
dent of the Woman's Relief Corps, Mrs.
Jones, in company with her Secretary,
Mrs. Daggett, have been to Toledo. o..
making arrangements for National
Headquarters during Encampment,
which is expected to meet the first
week in September. The National Sec
rotary informs me the Citizens Com
mittee are enthusiastic in their plans.
which insures a warm reception to the
Grand Army of the Republic and kim
bred organizations.
The committee is determined to ex-
eel in this Encampment. Committees
have been named, and the program of
the week is well under way.
The officers were royalty entertained.
A reception was given by Forsytha
Corps, one Of the first Corps organized.

year, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Wade Nc

PENSION POINTERS.
Inquiries Answered and Suggestions
Made.

H. P. j., Portland, Me.-We under
stand that il is the practice of the PEN
sion Bureau not to return certificates
of discharge, commissions. etc, that
have been filed in pension claims unless
requested by the claimant.
S. NJ. c.. Joliet, Ill.-The question
that you ask as to whether a wife can
draw one-half- of her husbands pen
sion, having accepted the sum of $500
in lieu o. all other support, cannot be
answered from the data given. The
Commissioner of Pensions. who has all
the information in the claim, is the one
to pass upon the merits of the case.
]. H. s., York, Pa.-Declarations filed
under the act of June 81, 1890, that
were executed after the passage of the
act of Feb. 6, 1907, will, we understand,
be accepted az applications under the
last-named act. and pension made to
commence from date of receipt in the
Pension Bureau, provided all other re-
quirements of the act of Feb. 6, 1907,
have been met. Even tho a claim was
subsequently filed under the act of Feb.
8, 1907, it would not be taken as a date
of commencement.
J. A. s., Kansas City. Kan-If, as
You state, soldier enlisted Jan. 4.
1864, and served with his command TO
the following June, when his father
died, leaving his mother unprotected
and the soldier was granted permission
to secure a substitute to complete his
original term Of enlistment, the substi-
tute being regularly mustered in and
the original soldier being regularly
mustered out, we know Of no law that
would prevent both soldiers from re-
ceiving pension, provided all other
requirements are fully met Sec AIS,
Revised Statutes, prohibits the payment
OF two pensions to the same person
covering the same time. Under the cir
cumstances named the two pensions
could be paid for the same term of
service. II would not be two pensions
to the same person.

New Regimental Association.

Editor National Tribune: One of the
most interesting and satisfactory Re-
unions and banquets took place in the
city of Pittsburg on Jan. Is of the pres

1t was the occasion of the first Reunion
of the 61st Pa, at which time they
formed a permanent organization for
the purpose of keeping in communica-
ton with the survivors and also writing
history of the regiment, as required
by act of Assembly of the State. The

c. Oehmler, President; o. A. Parsons,
Vice President; w. J. Glenn, Treasurer;
A. T. Brewer, Historian, and f. L. Blair,

eral of whom had with them their
total of 1873 at the table. Previous to

at the banquet by Chas. b. Price, whose
brother was killed during the war OF

killed at the charge of Marge's flights.
Geo. w. Crosby, killed at Petersburg.
In addition to this there were two Cap

PATRIOTIC INSTRUCTION.
Splendid Work Being Done In PennsyI-
vanfa.

E. S. Griffin Post, 139, Department of
Pennsylvania, Scranton, Pa, has been
doing a magnificent work in patriotic
instruction in the schools by a COM
mittee of which Col. Ezra H. Ripple
is the Chairman. There Is a peculiar
condition in that portion of the State.
where Slavs-that is, Huns and Be-
hemians-and Italians in great num-
bers have come in to work the mines.
These people are of a very different
social status and education from the
Germans, Irish and Scotch. who have
hitherto formed the bulk of our immi-
grants. The Slavs and Italians have
always lived under a bad Government.
and have been kept in ignorance and
poverty far deeper than anything
known in Germany or Great Britain.
They have consequently to be brought
up much farther in order to make them
American citizens. Not much hope is
entertained as to any radical Change
among the older immigrants, who are
not susceptible to as quick assimilation
with our people and our institutions
as the Scotch, Irish and Scandinavians
have shown themselves to be. There
is strong hope, however, for the chill
dren that they have brought with them
and who are being carefully gathered
into schools and educated as American
children should be. The Committee
'h = all otiC Iioti uCllOn has DSSu 10
ing a great work in instructing these
children as to our country; how proud
they should be of American institutions
and how thoroly they should admire
and love our flag and our form of
Government. In the details of COM
rades to visit the various schools and
carry on systematic work there they
were earnestly requested to lay aside
all other business on such days as they
are on duty, and endeavor by presence
and example to impress the children
with true lessons in patriotism.
The Sons of Veterans and Spanish
War Veterans were drafted into the
work, and did good service wherever
assigned to duty.
The result of the years work has
now been embodied in a handsome lit
tie volume of typewriter pages, giving
detailed reports of the visits to each
school, the proceedings conducted and
the results as far as could be ascer-
All of the comrades engaged
in the work are highly gratifed at the
way the children have regarded their
visits and the zeal which they have
manifested in the matters presented
them.
