crease of pension for the widow of soldier
There were papers forwarded to him which bore
on the case and these he turned to the
committee on pensions after his bill had been
introduced.
The widow did not get her money, and it was
not long before the whole house knew why. The
member who had espoused the widows cause
had been in congress for years, and the joke at
mis- expense was good to keep, and one after
another of his colleagues walked up to his desk
and congra tuated him the wisdom shown in
the plea which was in written form. he had
turned in TO the committee to win the widows
case
1t is perhaps needless to say that the mem
Der had never read the plea. 1t set forth the
fact that while the amount of pension increase
the widow of the soldier hero asked for was
large it must be understood that she came OF
good family, moved in the best social circles, and
was in need of large of money to keep up
appearances"
Upon occasion senators and representatives per-
nit their constituents to do their talking for
them in congress. Petitions come in floods at
times with the object OF securing legislation by
external pressure In the Smoot case, and in
the pure food and army canteen matters the pleas
OF the people came in by the tens OF thousands
The members of both houses present these let

the petition to do the rest if they potent

Senator Latimer of South Carolina once intro
duced a good roads bill calling for the expendi
ture of government millions for the Improvement
of the highways. The automobilists all over the
country began sending letters of approval. They
pressed their friends into the writing service, but
that they did not always pass upon the persuasive
merits of the friends productions is shown fair
ly well by one letter on the good roads subject
received by Senator Cullom. 1t read like this:
Dear Mr. Cullom Please vote for this id
bill and you will oblige a fool friend of mine
who runs an automobile Yours more or less

For years several representatives In congress
tried to secure appropriation TO be used for
the building of monument TO General Miller at
Peterboro y. H., near which town I'll Try Sir
lived on a farm before the of 1872 and for
years after its close. The representatives who
had the matter Of pushing the bill in hand used
the words of Captain Miller at Lundys Lane to
express their own determination to secure VIC
tory They certainly did try and the speeches
that were made before the library committee OF
congress held patriotic appeals in every sentence
Apparently, however it was easier for Miller to
capture battery against odds than it was for
members of congress to capture the dollars neces-
sary to build a monument of enduring stones
TO his memory.
1t was a of try and try again. While the
cause of Miller whose heroiSm was worth a
dozen monuments, being pleaded, congress
voted money for memorials TO other less de-
serving. Finally, however a New Hampshire
member who had been digging into history found
out something about III Try Sr's' career which
was not generally known. Congress had been
told time and again that Captain Miller not only
had shown conspicuous galantry at Lundy Lane,
but that prior to that fight he had thrashed
superior force of British and Indians at Managua.
Congress had also been told that Miller had COM
manded the center column of General Browns

Congress was told of this saying of Millers,
