POLLOCK MAKES REPLY
Says That His Intention Was Far From
Being Observation-Disclosures
From Grafton.

To The Forum: ! feel that 1t is
fitting, and / sincerely hope that it
will not be taken as presumptuous, IL
l take leave to reply 10 the members
of the John F. Reynolds post of the
G. A. r., concerning the Grafton which
recently delivered before the high
school. I should rather say to ex-
plain. for / am sorry to say, de-
cidedly wrong impression seems to
have been conveyed by the report OF
my effort. 1t was my aim to inspire
my fellow students toward a true feel
ing Of patriotism and love for our
country and civil war heroes In no
way did speak disrespectfully OF the
veterans.
endeavored to point out that the
true veterans were not receiving their
due and just portion Of the pension
appropriation, and that 1t was our duty
to them to see that they did obtain
what was rightfully theirs.
am extremely sorry that Mr.. Ashel-
man has the impression that patriotism
is not taught in our high school.
wish he had been present In chapel q
few weeks ago, when, after an outline
on the safe and sane Fourth OF July, at
the first strains of our national an
them, where $50 students rose volun-
tariIy, as one person, and the very
walls of that assembly room vibrated
with the volume Of their voices. !
beg permission to quote the last para
graph Of my Grafton.
"The veterans of the civil war were
in a large part not unsuccessful Most
of them now living were young men
at the time Of the war, and the long,
bitter struggle fitted them for the ca
reers they have taken up. They are res
pected and revered in the localities in
which they live. But there are veter-
ans who, on account of injuries re-
ceiyed or their long absence from home.
could not again gain a footing. They
are in need of our support. Let them
be aided by our national treasury.
"But we cannot capitalize our debt
of gratitude to the men who have pre-
served our nation entire and intact.
We owe 1t to those, who have pitched
their last camp, who have fought their
last battle, and have marched victor
iousIy across the great divide, as we'll
as to those who have survived to see
to II that the names of men so far be-
meath them-the names Of camp follow
ers, bounty jumpers and deserters--
are not placed side by side with theirs,
who gave the strength and flower OF
manhood, who broke all ties of home
and kin: who so freely sacrificed their
lives for the united nation We now en-
JOY. Clean up the pension roll, make
it roll of honor, and let the pensioner
be regarded, be respected and revered
as a saviour Of his country"

SATURDAY, APRIL %, 1911.
DEATH is PAINLESS.


1t is not death--but the fear of it,
that creates universal apprehension,
Cover death as one may with faith and
philosophy--it has always been, and
always will be-the king Of terrors. The
transition from life to death is so
marked--the passing out of life is so
silent and subtle-the change Of the
body from animation TO the gruesome-
ness of death is so striking-that 1t
awes. Even those who are most famil-
lar with death in all it's phases--speak
in whispers in its presence---long after
hearing has gone from the inanimate
clay that lies in all its silent mys-
terry.
1t is difficult for the average man to
conceive that life can go out without
some torturing pain. He imagines
dissolution must be accompanied by
storm and turbulence.
Observation and experience. however,
teach that nature--with kindly hand
smoothes the way--so that life goes
out silently and painlessly. Those who
have apparently died and been resus-
citated bear testimony to this. They
insist that Mother Nature anesthizes
every nerve-and that one is lulled into
oblivious Inconsistencies - till the
body sinks to death without Jar or
tumult.
There may be outward signs of pain
but they are illusory. Preliminary
sickness brings the blessed anesthetic
which lulls one through pleasant
dreamings into the land of mystery
from which there is no return.
OF course there are some abnormal
cases, which are exceptions. Then
there are the instances where death
comes by the decree of manor
through accident-taking life at it's full
tide and strength. In these cases the
inner love Of life makes one look upon
death as the king OF terrors-rather
than an angel Of deliverance.
II is the impenetrable curtain that
hides the unseen that awakens a fear
OF death. 1t is the mystery of eternal
darkness that causes apprehension
One shudders at shadows rather than
realities.
The fear of death is the black pail
which the distempered Imagination
casts over the minds of men. 1t makes
them dread that which is as natural
as birth-and as merciful
