WILL MAKE EFFORT
TO REDUCE PENSIONS

| WASHINGTON, April 14.-An effort
to limit the volume of special pension
legislation will be made by Senator
McCumber, chairman of the commit
tee on pensions, before the adjourn.
ment Of the present extra session of
congress. Such legislation has grown
rapidly until, during the last congress
about 5000 bills, the object of most
of which was to increase existing pen.
sions, were passed. During the pres
ent session about 1000 bills providing
for pensions not obtainable under the
general pension laws have been intro
duced in the senate alone.
The reasons urged for such legisla-
tion have been in the nature of ex-
ceptional conditions either relating to
the necessities of the applicant or to a
failure on his part to satisfy the tech
nicalities of the law, although he could
prove to the satisfaction of commit
tee that he was entitled to considera.
ton. Mr.. McCumber believes It may
be possible to reach an agreement by
which the house and senate practically
pledge themselves that they will pass
given amount of pension legislation |
n one session and no more.

UNCLE SAMUEL
PLAYED CUPID
WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT ITAL-
IAN LAWS-NO NAMES
GIVEN.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Mucl
specializing has arisen over the iden
tit Of the parties concerned in the
diplomatic correspondence between
the American and Italian governments
in 1906, in regard to the italian mar.
rage laws. This correspondence was
published today, but further than
stating that the young woman was
the daughter of an American of un-
questioned standing in the community
and the Italian was .nobIeman, no
other clues are given as to the identi-
ty of the parties, Nothing is included
to show what success the government
had in the role of Cupid.
The correspondence began-on- July
Ia, 1906, when Acting Secretary of
State Bacon addressed a letter to the
Italian embassy in this city asking
for statement concerning the Italian
law on marriages.
"The department has been asked by
an American whose daughter is about
to marry an Italian nobleman," wrote
Mr.. Bacon, "as to the legal effect of
the certification by an Italian consular |
agent in the use of American marriage /
and whether or not the marriage GER
tificate is in all respects exactly equiv
alent, according to Italian law, to a
celebrated in Italy"
The reply was to the effect that
solemn1zed in America be-
ween an Italian subject is absolutely |,
'alid in Italy, provided the forms"
md local law have been complied
With. The department was informed
hat the laws OF Italy made no dis
motion between noblemen and the {
ommon people in the right of mar
iage in a foreign Jurisdiction. "The
light of entail has been abolished and
obilary titles confer no privilege" +
ontinued the reply, mot even that of y
recedence at court or any public :
motion. Titles of nobility are never v
leless still recognized and the non E

and had descended on a long row of
apartment houses on Grove street, inn
mediately in the rear.
The department was powerless to
restrict the flames. Famed by the

Senator Depew today came to the rescue
of the finance committee in the Senate in
spirited Speech" says the New York Globe.
What stronger evidence do the people need
to convince them that the finance committee,
the committee that is fixing the present Tariff
schedules, is composed mostly of corporation
tools and robbers of the people?

ner, defending the finance committee of the

Depew was put in the Senate by the New

serve that corporation in the Senate better
than in the office he was then holding with
the New York Central
He has done his duty by the crowd that put
him in, just as Aldrich, Penrose and others
have DONE
AS hireling, he was made Senator, and as
a Senator, he has acted the hireling for the

Questionable Journalism

Mr. William Randolph Hearst is million
aire who claims to be champion of reform.
He wishes to make conditions better Presu-
mably, he cannot make conditions any better
If he makes the morals of our people worse.
There can certainly be no improvement in
store for the future of our country if the
minds of young men and young women are
filled with false ideals. To bring virtue into
contempt is not good for girls: to bring hon
esty into contempt is not good for boys.
For some weeks, now, in the daily paper
which our friend, John Temple Graves, was
engaged at high salary to edit, there have
been appearing cartoons drawn by that mex
haustible genius, F. Opper, under the head
ing, an Honest Man," In every one of these
pictures there is a series of situations in which
ridicule and injury fall to the lot of the hon
est man. Because he tells the truth and acts
on the square, he comes to grief, is laughed at,
abused and punished by those who are less
truthful and less honest than himself
Does our friend, John Temple Graves
think that he is doing good service to his
country when he inoculates lessons of that
kind? In the old copy-books in which he and
| learned how to write, was the stereotyped
line, ''H0nesty IS the best policy" That was
not, perhaps, the best way to teach boys and
girls that they ought to do right. The man
and the woman of the higher type are honest,
not because it is good policy to be so, but be-
cause 1t as good principle to be so. Men and
women are not supposed to be able to main
tain self-respect, unless they are truthful and
honest. They do right, not to win applause,
but to earn the approval of their own con-
science
Now, these cartoons which Mr.. Hearst is
displaying in his daily papers, and which will
be copied from sea to sea, virtually tell the
young people that any man who sticks to the
truth and to common honesty is bound to get
the worst end of every transaction: is bound
to bring trouble upon himself and upon 9TH
ers he naturally becomes the butt of ridcule
and the object of the contempt of the great
majority who, inferentially, are liars and
crooks.
This kind Of journalism is exceedingly
questionable, and we beg, with earnestness
and respect that our friend, John Temple
Graves, editor in-chief of the paper which is
doing this kind of thing, will give the matter
his serious consideration.
However, it occurs to me that since Mr.
Hearst has become the ally of E. II. Harri-
man and the defender of Pat Calhoun, he
himself has given some evidence of his belief
that truth and honesty are absurd back num-
bers
Teach the boys to cheat and swindle and lie
and give brides and they may become heroes
like Hartman and Calhoun and Rockefeller
and Havemeyer and-(see Rogues' Gallery,
and Wall Street list of Trust Directors).
