than three years, when he received a

was repeatedly wounded and captured
at one time by the enemy. The lead

rade King has resided since the war
and who know him best, were unani-

This was the more striking because
Comrade King has alwayes been stall

led in all the bitter political fights for
the control of Baltimore and the State.
There entered an element of civic pride,

of him as a representative citizen. He

Pension Day Dinner.

John A. Burke, 25th Mich, Harper,
Kan, says that 1t has become an estab-
lished custom with Harper Post and
Mckinley Corps TO hold a pension day
dinner. This is held quarterly, on the
first day they are authorized to execute
their vouchers. They have a Notary
present, who charges the sum of 10
cents for each voucher executed at
the meeting. Last Saturday there We're
more than 80 comrades present, with
their wives, and to say that they en-
joyed themselves is putting it very mild
ly. These dinners have been instrument
tai in building up a close and lasting
friendship among the families of the
comrades by bringing them in closer
touch. The ladies who furnish the
dinner have their hearts in their work
and enjoy it thoroly. The little city
of Harper furnishes the Post with two
rooms in the city building.

Reappointed for Another Four Year
Term as Pension Agent.

Comrade John r. King, Past Com

years of service as Pension Agent at
Washington recently, and it was feared
that the necessity of providing for
some of those who had fallen outside
the breastworks at the last election
might interfere with his resppointment.
It appears that the President took a
personal interest in the matter, and
requested the Secretary of the Interior
to report on Comrade Kings record.

But this long line of humiliating dis
elimination does not end here. Note
its elimination. At the beginning of
the civil war, when. for the first time
on a gigantic scale the Nation was
required to solve the problem of en-
ploying side by side in a long and
troops of equal valor and efficiency,
President Lincoln and the Thirty
seventh Congress pledged equality of
treatment and reward as between the
two lines of service. On the faith of
this pledge the Union army was enroll
ed, and these officers accepted their
task. But in the absence of such a
formal promise, failure to enforce that
equality of treatment and reward be-
tween the Nations common defenders
suicidal. That assurance of fair play,
bond which held in fraternal comrade-
ship and effective service the $4,000
volunteers and $1,000 Regulars, who
formed the Union army and navy. This
rule of the square deal, the Republics
word of honor, was observed toward
all during the years Of the war. Since
the war it has been fulfilled regard

Works For Colorado
 River Commission
The Calexico Chronicle says:

The Calexico Chronicle says:
 In order that Senator Works might have a distinct understanding about the conditions on the Colorado river in connection with the water supply for the Imperial valley, meeting was re gently ranged by Attorney Britt and others and prominent men cross ex- amined in the senator's presence.
 Engineer Finkle was one of the chief men questioned. He disclosed to the senator he fact that the Colo rado river carried at its lowest stage but 2,5OO or 5000 second feet and that there are projects being organized by both the government and private ell enterprises that, if carried through, will endanger the water supply Of the Imperial NalIe3.
 It is the request of the Dredge com mittee which has added to its duties and responsibilities since it's appoint ment by the mutual water companies, 1ntil now it is a representative body ready to do anything, that the govern ment be prevailed upon to organize a commission similar to the ';ississlppi River commission for the control If the water of the Colorado river and call it the Colorado River Commission. Such commission would have author ity to o. k. such projects as would be possible to conduct from the waters Of the river without being a danger or a detriment to the projects already cs- tahisued, mainly the Imp9ria; ,alJey and the Laguna Iroject in Arizona.
 The discussion included the fullest that he now knows really something about the Imperial valley. He knows how many crops we raise, how many acres raise the crops, how much water we use, how much we want for futule ~rse, how many people Eve here and tLc general nature of the water SUD- ply that is the vital part of the very existence of the valley.
 Senator Works stated to the gentle men after the conference that he cer- tainly could act with intelligence on the questions that might come up in the future, and thanked them for the opportunity of learning what he did
 The result of the meeting will 10 doubt lead to a commission being or ganized, one that will be big enough and have powers enough to get and spend money at all times, thus taking the burden of maintaining the Ocker- son work in Mexico off the hands of the people of the valley for certain ty and assuring us of the curbing of the ambitious schemes up the river that would shorten our water supply to the danger point if allowed to go through without question.
