OLDEST VETERAN
Of G. A. R. GETS
BIGGER PENSION
By Special Act, Henry DOrman,
100 Years Old, Will Get
$50 a Month.

WASHINGTON. March 14.-Henry
Dorman, aged 1Os years and the Oldest
living veteran of the Civil War. will
not know want for the rest of his days.
Through a special pension bill recently
signed by the President he will receive
$50 a month for the remainder of his
life. The old soldier had been able
to carr a few dollars in addition to his
pension of $50 a month which he had
received since his discharge from the
Seventh Michigan Cavalry, w years
after the war began, until a year ago,
when he became too feeble to work.
The old pensioner was scarcely known
until his name was mentioned at a
meeting OF the Medal of Honor Legion,
when Major Walter Thorn, judge adj
vocate of the legion. decided to in
vestigate Private Dorman's record.
While he had not been awarded any
medals, he served until wounded while
his regiment was 1 action in Virginia.

POLICEMEN SICK
IN DROVES UNDER
THE NEW LAW
Get More Money Than They Do
When on Duty-0thers
Complain.
COMMISSIONERS WANT
THE STATUTES CHANGED
Several Members on Leave Are
Enjoying Spring-time
PrOmenadeS.

1t is said that the Police Commits
sioners are thinking of applying to the
Supreme Cour to have the police act
SO amended that policemen will not re-
ceive full pay while on sick leave.
They feel that the law is being
abused by some of the men. There are
many men on the sick list. They not
only get full pay, but also $40 per week
from the Policemen,s Mutual Aid Asso-
citation.
1t is the belief of the commissioners
and many of the policemen that the
law was meant to provide full pay for
men who were injured while in the per-
Torrance of duty. but not for illness
contracted through ,carelessness.
1t is said that if the commissioners
are not successful. the police .associa-
ton will take steps to amend the rules
of their organization so that a member
will not receive any compensation for
illness, except those made so while on
duty. One policeman, in speaking
about the mater today, said it was a
shame the way some of the men were
taking illness.
"Some OF the men, said the police
man. nov report off sick for the
slightest kind of an ailment. 1t is A
mystery 10 many. of us how they are
allowed to continue to remain on the
sick list when we can see them walk
ing around the streets"

Rev. DR.. Arnold Fismer Thinks
They Should Be Given
The Ballot.
BY BARBARA KENT.

There will ultimately be one stand
ard of morality, and that, will be the
higher one-that OF woman, pure and
high-minded. She will undoubtedly
succeed in drawing man up to that
standard, rather than the man drawing
her down."
This is what the Rev. DIR. Arnold
Fismer said today when l interviewed
him at the Theological Seminary, in
Bloomfield, where he is professor Of
ethics. It is a beautiful sentiment. and
ought to encourage the women suffra-
gists. He is with the suffragists, and
believes that women have just as much
right TO vote as the men. and, fur
t%herlnore. says that men ought TO feel
honored to think that they can work
side by side with ome and profit by
their splendid principles.
DR.. FisIner feels with Plato: I'm the

man. has any special function; 3ut the
gifts are equally diffused in both exc

.Won1an's Right to Smoke Is the Same as
Man., Bloomfield Clergyman Declares
Undergoing Ethical Evolution,
He Declares, When Male Sex
Will Look Up to Them.

women march the streets we immedi-
ately think it is nnwomanly. But from
IN ethical standpoint l think that what
is good for a man is good for a
woman"
DO you hink that women have the
right 20 smoke? You know men
smoke"
I don't believe it is good for man to
smoke. Consequently, / disapprove Of
women smoking. But again, ethically
speaking. if it is right for men to
smoke. it is certainly right for women
to smoke. Why should we have a sec
ond standard for men? Men should be
as %virtuous as virtuous women are. I
think we are undergoing an ethical
evolution and 1t won't be long before
men Will be drawn up to the moral
standard of women. If 1t Is right for
men to do this or that thing, ii Is right
for women to do the same thing"
DO you expect hat women will gain
their rights before long? Do you think
they will be allowed to vote, that they
will reach the promised land toward
which susan b. Anthony started them?"
II dc think SO. We may not be able
| to see them get their rights in this gen.
GRAFTON, but / think the mex generation
will. / hope the fussing and arguing
over the equal rights will cease. Free
dom and responsibility never yet in

man will agree with me that it is mol
| fair to offer to women what o would
not offer TO men. There can be no re-
sponsibility where no trust is given;
woman as man grows by responsible
lily.
"Woman's sphere is home, but she
can do a great deal for the people at

they not teach us how We should set an
