5Sth Ohio Paraded.

The AID Annual Reunion of the old
55th Ohio, held in the court house at
Toledo, o., Sept. 1 and 2. 1908, was one
of the greatest interest to the comrades
since the war. One hundred and fifty
eight veterans answered to roll call.
Rousing speeches by comrades, hand
shakings and hearty greetings filed the
time. A few c1asped hands the first
time since muster-out, and many joyful
tears were shed as old memories were
stirred, and altho the death rate is ap-
palling the old comradeship is closer
bound by the survivors. In the grand
parade we marched as a regiment with
our old battlefront banner to lead as
proudly as at the Grand Review at
Washington 43 years ago. Capt. r. w.

widows, Pensions.

Eunice ]. Spangenberg, Kirwin, Kan,
says that it is a great oversight that
veterans widows are not pensioned ac-
cording to age, as are the soldiers. She
has nothing to say against pensioning
second or third wives when left widows,
and this should begin with the date Of
widowhood.

Guaranteeing Bank Deposits.

j. C. Rowland, 112th N. Y, River
Lake, Wis, is greatly pleased with the
editorial on guaranteeing bank deposits,
which he thinks is the best thing that
has been said on that subject Bryan
is also absolutely mistaken in his alle-
CATION that the tariff does not help the
farmers. Any man who reads the mar
ket reports and studies the protective
system will see that this is not SO.

badge or the number of their corps, so
as to make identification and reunion.
easier. They can obtain the badges
from the street faliTs. who usually have;
a supply of them. In default of this
they can cut them out of tin or some
other metal. He would like 10 see a.
good Reunion of his old corps, thai

watching for False Measures.

Comrade George H. Pettis, of the Old
California Volunteers. is doing good
work this year, as he has done for many
years, as State Supervisor of Weights
and Measures. There is a great deal of
petty swindling all the time going ON in
the use of light weights and short
measures, and Capt. Pettis and his as
sistants are kept busy in the work of
inspection. He has a fine Office in Prov
idence, r. T., in which Is a complete
equipment of scales, weights and meas
ures, which are the standard for the
State. Each of the 3S towns In the
State are furnished with copies of these.

Did All He Could.

W. B. Shearron, Loredo. Mo-, does
not claim to have put down the rebel
hon, but simply to have done all that
he could, and he saw enough of the
war to satisfy any reasonable man.
April 19, 1851, he enlisted in the 14th
Ind, and was with it in all it's service
up to Oct. %, 1862. when he was trans
ferred to the 9Th U. S. Cav, where he
served continuously until taken prison.
er in July, 1863, at Funkstown He
was badly wounded, and kept in prison
until May 2S, 1865, when he was turned
loose at Baldwin, Fla.

onels who were killed in the fighting on
the I'd of July. Col. Roberts was killed
about the same time that Gen. Zook

PICKET SHOTS
From Alert Comrades Along The Whole
Line.
Impress Every NJ. C.

Comrade A. G. Callen, r. D. 1, Lib
erty Hill, Green Forest, Ark, writes:
81 am no politician; I know that 1
know but little; 1 have never been
away from home in my Iife-save once.
Then l left my wife with six little
children to care for in the midst of my
enemies, her enemies, enemies of the
Government for which I abandoned
her, that I might enter its army and
defend it's life. Well, she took up her
burden bravely, because she, too, loved
her country, and was willing to endure
hardships and incur dangers that re-
bellion might be suppressed. 1t seems
to me that our wives have never been
lacking in patriotism. They appear to
me to ever have shown more patriotism
than do our congressman when they
come to make pension laws, in which
they are ever careful to dishonor our
widows. Had these Congressman half
the patriotism of our wives we and our
wives would be spared the contempt
these M. C.s exhibit for us who choose
to marry or remarry in the years of
our maturity, and the insults to the
women who accept the burden of our
growing years. What more patriotic
service is there than caring for the
veteran whose strength of youth was
spent in battle and march and camp
in saving his country's Government?
then needed, when she undertakes to
relieve the sufferings and sweeten the
hours of the veteran whose march has
brought him over the crest of the hill
to its downward slope. Comrades, for
our country great armies of us have
died; thousands and thousands of us
have been wounded: every one of us
has suffered, has risked life and flesh
and blood and bone. Our services are
entitled to respect if not gratitude. Our
wives are entitled to respect, to graft
tude, instead of contempt and insult
such as the widows pension exclusion
clause manifests and inflicts. Com
rades, l think it our duty to impress
Congress with the fact that we are not
all dead; that we will not fail to resent
insult and contempt and slander of our
wives. If every comrade would let his
M. c. know that he proposed to see
that obnoxious limitation eliminated
from the law, there would follow
amendment before a new Congress
comes in. We owe 1t to our wives to
defend them. We owe more to our
wives than we do to Congressman. But
for us these NJ. C-s would cut slight
figure in the world. Let US, every one,
tell our own Senators and Representa-
tives that we demand-thats the word,
demand-the repeal of that insulting
limit"

HONOLULU. Dec. 1.-The chamber

citation of Honolulu have formally
withdrawn their support from the bin
introduced in congress last session
asking that the provisions of the coast
Wise shipping laws relative TO the
carrying of passengers between Ha-
wdlian and other American ports be
suspended.
This withdrawal of support was in
response to assurances made by the
watson navigation company that a new
passenger steamship of equal sire with
the steamship Asia and with improv ed
passenger carrying facilities and ac-
commodations would be built for the
San Francisco Honolulu run.
There was some opposition TO the
question of allowing the bill to drop,
representatives Of the Honolulu hotels
asserting that The passenger traffic
was increasing TO such an extent that
the new steamer would not be able TO
AFFORD all the relief that would be re-
Quired.
