Some of our contemporaries are ig-
noring the fact that the friends of
Col. G. c. Martin of Brooksville have
suggested him as the proper man to
be elected congressman at large next
year. His friends have put him for
ward and they expect him to be NOM
mated and elected. They recognize
the fact that other good men have
been suggested, that favorite sons
are being mentioned in all parts of
the state for the place, and are pleas
ed that such complimentary nomina-
lions have been made But Col. Mar
tins is not a complimentary nomina-
ton, but one made in good faith.

right man for the place; that he has

OUR PENSION LAW

When the editor of this paper sue
ceeds Mr.. Albert ". Gilchrist as So'-
ernor of Florida he will use his infiu-
ence to have the Broome pension Gill
re- enacted and the present law alol-
ished
Why?
Because the present law places the
Confederate soldier as a mendicant
on his government. 1t places him in
the pitiful list of paupers.
The law enacted through the exer-
tiOns of Senator Broome made the
service of the soldier in the Confed-
crate army one of supreme distinc-
ton.
Under the present law the man
who was a good soldier, who never
shirked a duty who was alive to his
responsibilities and merited the good
will of his comrades, and who since
the cessation of hostilities has made
a good citizen, who has been active
and enterprising, who has not been
drone in his community, who has
not permitted the grass to grow I'M
der his feet, who has set a merito-
rious example for others to follow,
because of these ennobling and com
mendable characteristics has been
cut off from the pension rolls, but the
man who did not make much of a
soldier during the sanguinary strug-
gle and has not made much of cit
izen since the proclamation of peace,
receives the care and bounty of lis
government.
We would not be understood as
CHASING all the pensioners in the list
as described above, because the great
majority of them, indeed all but a
few of them, were good soldiers, Fer
formed their duties faithfully and be-
roically, and in their old age are de-
serving of the bounty of government
But why make distinctions-why
place the pensions on a pauper basis
The ranks are thinning. Those who
have been cut off under the Broome
bill are few, and are growing greater
less and more beautifully small" each
year.
If it is intended as an INDECENT, old
age pension, why not extend it to all
persons who are worthy of it's bench
cence?
What tragedy is more pitiful than
the lot of the man or woman having
devoted life to Industrious, faithful
work, when old age creeps upon them
are compelled to face the poor house
Or beg upon the streets?
Is not the man or the woman, Who
devotes his or her whole life to i'm.
parting instruction to youth, as much
entitled to the care and bounty of
his or her government, as the soldier
who bears arms for a few months Or
a few years?
This paper does not go so far as
does Victor Berger when he says the
aged working men and working wo-
men have a greater claim on society
than the soldier, but it does say that
they have claims as just.
England, Australia, New Zealand
and some other countries are begin
ming to put the claims of the toilers
in civil life on the same basis as
those who served in military encamp-
ments, and are wisely providing pen
sions for old age and are giving the
promise of tranquility to those of
their fellow citizens who have reach
