The brave men who offered their
lives in defense of their country dur
ing the civil war have now reached an
age where they are untitled for the
performance of manual labor for the
support of themselves and families,
and we commend the position which
Congressman Anthony has taken for a
policy of liberal pension legislation for
all soldiers of our country, and for the
enactment of legislation which will pro-
vide a pension of not less than one
dollar a day for each honorably dis
charged surviving veteran of the civil
war.
I'VE favor all legislation having for
its object the improvement of the pub
lie highways of the country, and we
especially urge that every member of
congress from Kansas give earnest sup
port to Congressman Anthony's bill pro-
viding for the construction of mill
tary highway of over 100 miles in length
between Fort Leavenworth and Fort
Riley in Kansas, by convict labor, which
bill has already been favorably report
ed by the military committee, is on the
