INDORSES THE NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE PENSION BILL.

The cause of the veterans has re-
ceived a strong reinforcement by the
Endorsement by the Illinois Republican
| Convention of The National Tribune
pension bill This was introduced into
the platform by Speaker Cannon, and
received the warm approval of the con-
tvention. The Republican Convention
IF the 18th Illinois District adopted
resolutions cordially indorsing the Ad-
mnistration of President Taft, the
Payne tariff bill and the efforts of the
President and the party to carry out
the promises in the platform. Congress
was congratulated upon the unparal
leled legislative act in enacting into law
practically all the pledges of the last
Republican platform. The platform
concluded with:
We favor prompt amendment to
the age-service pension law by the en-
actment of the bill known as The Ma
tional Tribune bill, which, among 9TH
er things. provides that at the age Of
81 the rate shall be SIS per month; at
the age of 65, $40 per month: at the
age of 10. $50 per month. and at the
age OF IS and over, $40 per month. We
gressional District of Illinois, irrespec-
tive of political affiliation, have just
pride in the record of our Representa-
tive, the Hon. Joseph g. Cannon. His
public service has been unsurpassed in
patriotic devotion to the trust reposed
in him for more than SO years, and in
the recognition he has had even from
his political opponents as an incorrupti-
BILE public servant. They have credited
him with saving the people more than
800, 100000 by wise economies while
Chairman of the Committee on Appro-
priations of the House, without Grip
pling the public service. He has been
four times chosen Speaker without
making personal campaign or even
announcing himself as a candidate, and
when, on March 10, 1910, he invited a
newly formed majority to relieve him
of that great office, they refused to ac-
cept that responsibility. During his SER
vice as Speaker there has been enacted
into law more legislation to redeem the
pledges of our party than in any period
of eight years since the Government
began. Even those who have assailed
Speaker Cannon have given evidence
that their hostility was due to their
failure to influence him to aid special
interests which were striving for legis-
lation in behalf of privilege, and because
he hefd firmly to the principles of the
Republican Party as recognized in its
platform and traditions"

BUILD UP THE GRAND ARMY.

The Grand Army of the Republic has
now entered another year with the Sc
lection of very excellent comrade for
Commander-in-Chief 1t is our duty to
uphold his hands to the utmost and
to develop the Grand Army as much
as possible that it's power for good may
be increased. The National Encamp-
ment has declared for modified Ma
tional Tribune pension bill, and it is
of the highest importance that every
thing should be done that can be to Sc
cure the passage of this law and the
consequent relief to many thousands of
our aged comrades. This is an achieve
ment that every man who served in the
army should take a deep interest in,
his interest is that if he has not yet

put in his application. Let US show
to the country that the entire body of
ex-soldiers are in the Grand Army sup
porting the Commander in Chief and
name added to the, Grand Army roster
adds strongly to its appeal in behalf
of the veterans. All pension legisla-
ton in the past has been secured thru
the efforts of the G.. A. R., and those
who are receiving pensions should il
gratitude, If nothing else, be in its
ranks and helping promote its objects.
They should come in to help the Posts
bear the ever-increasing burden of
caring for the sick and needy comrades.
This is due themselves. They certain
ly want to help in sympathy and assist
ance those who stood by them in bat
tie, and the most effective way is with
in the ranks of a Post. No man has a
good excuse for staying out of the
Grand Army, and If the matter is prop
erly presented to him he will not re-
fuse to join. Let us have a concerted
effort all over the country to bring
into camp our comrades who are still
outside the guard lines We are san
guine that If this is done the adminis-
tration of Commander-in-Chie Gilman
will close with a handsome addition
to the rolls in every Department and

COL. GLEN FOR QUARTERMAS-
TER-GENE'RAI.,

1t was a most unusual action for the
National Encampment to take. but the
case was one of unusual merit, and the
following resolution was adopted by ac-
clamation without reference to the
Committee.
Resolved that the 44th National En-
campment of the Grand Army of the
Republic earnestly recommends the
promotion of John L. Glenn, Senior
Colonel of the Quartermaster's Depart
ment, United States Army. to be Brig
adier-General on the active list OF the
Army.
I'VE all know Johnny Glen as the
Drummer Boy of Chickamauga.' He
is one of the seven civil war veterans
now on the active list of the Army
In two years he will be the only civil
war veteran left on the active list"
To his quite unusual service in the
Army of the Cumberland, Col Clem
has added service of exceptional value
to the Government since the war. Gen.
Grant gave him a commission as Sec
-ond Lieutenant in the oath U. S. in
1871. He was promoted to Captain and
Assistant Quartermaster-Ge General, and
has since then steadily risen until he
reached the gradeXof Colonel and As
sistant Quartermaster-Ge General, Aug. Is,
1908. For some years he has been
Chief Quartermaster of the Department
of Texas, with headquarters at San
Antonio At the outbreak of the Span
ish war he was Quartermaster of the
Department of the Columbia, and upon
him fell a large share of preparing for
the struggle. In 1899 he was Chief
Quartermaster of the Department of
Porto Rico, and during his tour the
terrible tornado took place. He dis
tributed over 3O,0O0,O00 pounds of food
to the starving natives. He was Chief
Quartermaster OF the Philippines from
1903 to 1906, and saved the Govern
ment $2,500,000 by hard work without
Gripping his Department in the least.
After his return from the Philippines
he was assigned as Chief ouartermas-
ter of the Department of California,
and did strenuous and valuable work
for which he was compIimented by his
superior officers after the fire and
earthquake at San Francisco. He has
devoted himself to his profession, grad
uating from the Artillery School in
1875. and was Military Instructor of
Galesville University for four years. He

THE Los ANGELES HORROR.

The most cruel and dastardly outrage
of many years was committed in the
office of the Los Angeles Times. Dyna-
mite was exploded. killing 81 employees
and wrecking the plant. The allegation
is what we are loathe to even give the
credence of repeating. that this was the
work of the labor unions, against which
Gen. OTIS has made long and success
full struggle. IT is not credible that Amer
ican workingmen, even with a large in
fiux of the Social element of late years.
should resort to the terrorist methods
of Europe and sacrifice the lives of men
whose only crime was that they wanted
employment.
Gen. Harrison Gray Otis has the keen
sympathy of every veteran in the coun-
try. He was a splendid soldier, serving
as a Captain in the 12thLOhio. and early
distinguishing himself by his daring and
vigor in hunting down the guerrillas in
West Virginia. He was later transferred
to that famous regiment, the 23d Ohio,
and outranked William Mckinley as
Captain when the regiment was mus
tered out. The Spanish War found him
as fun of fight as ever He promptly
offered his services. was given Briga-
der Generals commission, and did fine
service in the Philippines. He is a
man of Commanding ability in every
direction, has been a Jealous member
of the Grand Army all his life, and has
made the Los Angeles Times one of the
great and, influential papers of the coun-
try. His, fighting spirit is unsubdued.
He Immediately telegraphed for new
material, has continued his paper with
out the Interruption of a single day.
and will be more aggressive than ever
in his struggle against the unions. The
authorities of Los Angeles have offered
large rewards for the apprehension of
the cowardly murderers and the labor
unions have added considerable sums
to this.

fact that the Republican Convention of

The Republican Party has always

fore commend a prompt amendment to

known as The National Tribune bill,
which, among other things, provides
that at the age of 50 the rate shall be
SIS per month; at the age of 65, $40
per month: at the age of 20, $50 per
month, and at the age of 75 and over,
