Before the next Congress meets an

There are no veterans to come upon the
roll to replace those which death is
daily taking from it by the hundreds.
In every community are seen men and
women of the highest character, who
are struggling along bravely to make
both ends meet on their meager s12 a

WORLD DIDN'T O

A great many persons who read
the account of the marriage of a
wealthy Spanish count and a penni-
less American girl the other day
doubtless thought it was meant for
a joke. But an investigation has
proved it to be true.
There was a general impression
that a penniless American girl
would have to make a noise like a
great deal of money before she
could marry even an alleged title.
We had also grown accustomed to
think that there was no such thing
as a wealthy Spanish count in the
world.
But strange things that stand as
exceptions to the rule are being dis
covered every day.

THE CONTEMPLATED LOOT OF ALASKA.

H9J ROBABLY before the Ballinger investigation is concluded
le the American people will have learned all about the com
q binations and Vaccinations to secure for private interests
the vast natural wealth contained in Alaska, which has proved
richer than Golconda. A. strong foothold has already been secured
by these interests on lands belonging to the government. The
individual gold seeker, who prospected Alaska amid perils and
hardships to locate and work his little claim, worked hard and
endured much to gather his store of gold. The Guggenheims and
others like them sought no perils or hardships. As soon rs it was
ascertained that there were immense deposits of coal and copper
in Alaska they organized themselves into syndicates, employed
secret and unlawful devices to get possession of these great riches,
and, as there is reason to believe, tempered with the loyalty of
weak Federal officers TO aid them. The story is coming out. and
.the country is now on its guard,

1t looks like a capital device for
saving the next House of Representa-
tives from Democratic control TO get
Roosevelt to run for Congress in New
York with the understanding that he
will be elected speaker. But perhaps,
if Roosevelt has any idea of entering
legislative life, he would prefer Senator
Depew's seat in the Senate. Then
again there are many Republican lead
ers who would prefer TO see a Demo
cratic House than have Roosevelt
chosen speaker. There are Cannon's
friends who propose TO stand by him.
But nobody knows what Roosevelt will
elect to do when he gets back. AT
present he has no commitment, not
even to Taft.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
The veterans of the Civil War have
very faint expectation of the present
session of Congress passing a pension
bill to give them help II their old age.
1t would be a measure of eminent JUS
tice. The sense of justice and graft
tude in the people toward those who
made all their present prosperity pos
slble will insist so strongly that vet
Grams and veterans widows be made
as comfortable as possible in their age
and d~ecrepitude as to compel Congress
to the legislation involved in the pas
sage of a suitable pension bill for them.
In the North. East and West are the
veterans, who gave everything to the
country, who sacrificed their young
manhood and their prospects in life
to save the nation in it's hour of direst
peril. We did our duty. Now, why
does not the government do its duty,
and give us some comfort in life out of
it's Golfers?
The veterans and the widows cannot
wait; they must be taken are of now
The swift years are taking them, not
by hundreds or thousands, but by
armies. out Of the reach of the ma
TONS gratitude and justice, and it will
be an ineffable shame IL they are all
lowed to pass away lamenting the

of Freeholders realize now that a mis-
take has beer made in taking the SUPER
i%ntendency of the 200-acre farm of the
hospital al Cedar Grove from a compe-
tent man and giving it to an incompe-
tent ono. Is this mistake to go unrecti-
fled? Is the county property to be
knowingly handed over to an incompe-
tent charge because of politics? The
Board of Freeholders is the custodian
of county property, and the administra-
tor of the county's business affairs.
Can the board afford to give such a

1t is explained by engineers tina the
subways in New York could not be
flooded as the Paris subways were be-
cause water could not enter from the
outside. There are also steel gates at
each end that can be lowered in steel
frames in case of emergency. But the
question of safeguarding the subways
and tunnels is not made a matter of
public discussion because of a possible
bad effect in exciting the fears of the
travelling public.
