His Fight for Old Soldiers.
He has been the steadfass friend of
the Union soldier, their widows and
orphans, and it can safely be said that
no man has worked harder or more
faithfully for them than has Mr. Cur
It's During the Cleveland administra-
ton, 1t was the contest started by Mr..
Curtis that resulted in the right be-
ing given to examine medical certifi-
Gates in pension cases, ard the law de-
claring a pension to be . vested right,
to allow widows pensions when their
income was less than $3.50 per annum,
the department having barred them if
their income was $96 per annum.
He worked to have ali the widows
given $12 per month, and reported the
bill removing the limitation on widows
VINO married soldiers since 1890. If
his report had been adopted widows of
soldiers would be given pension re-
gardless of the date of their mar
riage.
In the last congress, with Senator
Scott, he led the fight for the Sullo-
way pension bill, and Senator Curtis
has again introduced it jn the senate.
While Mr. Curtis was q member of
the house, the National Tribune had
the following to say editorially, as to
his work for the soldiers.
"It is hoped sincerely that every
veteran in Representative Charles
Curtis district will make a personal
effort to secure his denomination and
reelection. No man in Kansas has
been more favorable and effective
friend to the veterans that Charles
Curtis. Not only has he been inde-
fatigable in work for lust action on
their claims by the pension bureau.
but he led in the efforts to secure
Evans removal and took the front in
the fight at a time when it went
against him very much in the way of
political favOrs to do it."
There are many people in Kansas
VINO have had Senator Curtis aid and
assistance in matters pending in the
department and in congress- He has
always listened to ever-r appeal and
willingly helped those who have writ
ten to him to the extent of his ability.
An examination of the records here
show that this assistance he has given
to such deserving people during the last
four years, has resulted in more than
$4,000 being annually paid them.
The best evidence of a senator's
standing as a worker in congress IS
his committee assignments and the re-
ports he makes. At tho opening Of
congress- Mr.. Curtis was assigned to
nine committees, among them are
four of the largest of the senate. to
wit: appropriations pensions. District
of Columbia and Indian affairs It is
seldom that a senator serving his first
term has been assigned to so many
important committees. dealing with
such varied and extensive subjects

SUPPORT LYCEUM COURSE.

The report of Secretary Skinner at
the last meeting of the Commercial
Club to the effect that the two former
presentations of the Lyceum course,
provided for the amusement of Hood
River people by the Commercial Club
this winter, were not as well attended
as they should have been, is, to say
the least, not fattering to the citizens
of the community. However, all Of
US are thoughtless at times and maybe
guilty of Letting George do it.. "
But it does US all good, Of course, to
wake up to ourselves" and make
good resolutions for the future, and
undoubtedly the gentle suggestion OF
the secretary of the club will cause us
to realize that the club is not in the
show business for its health. Indeed
the members of the club deserve credit
for the initiative in securing some good
attractions for the amusement and
instruction of the residents OF the
community. The numbers that have
already been presented were said to be
of a first class character by those who
saw them. The two yet to be given,
though of a distinctly different nature,
have made an excellent reputation,
Not only because of the relation with
which they stand to the club but also
because of their true worth they merit
a good attendance.

Sowing the Seed.

Every effort made towards the
Punishment of Licensed Evils which
have existed for years is so much help
in the reform movements Of the world.
We look for temporary defeats but we
may reasonably suppose these are
educating and that the evils will
eventually be conquered through
victory over sin and wrong. People
tell us if we ever get rid of the saloon
there will be other evils with which to
contend. Even 50. Is it not worth
while to attack recognized evils as we
go through this world of ours? Our
greatest evils are those fostered by a
desire to accumulate wealth at the
expense Of our fellow men and our
battle ground should be with these
forces. It is deplorablo that large
part of the world should be called upor
year after year to face certain con
diu0ns and not seemingly be able t,
effect radical change.
AS ages have progressed younl
people have not been taught sufficient
Iy good principles. Moral training il

as a nation what we have sown. Bu
