Save for the elimination of PERSONAL
ties concerning President Taft and Mr.
Roosevelt. there is about as much diff
ference between the interview which Mr.
William Barnes, jr.. denied and the
statement which ne issued as between
tweedledum and tweedledee. The phras
ing Of his official statement Is Calmcr
and more conservative than that Of the
roDudisted iuteryiew-more in keeping
with what might be expected of de
ferder of the Constitution. But the
spirit is the same. There is the same
adherence of the "insidious demands

DoLLAR.ADAY PENSIONS
Writer Hopes for Different Action in
the Senate

To the Editor ~ The Tribune.
Sir: All honor to the veterans of the
Civil War. who in many instances, al least,
made great sacrifices IN preserve the Union.
Yesterdays vote on the pension bill In the
House Of Representatives suggests the
question: Is there not a reasonable limit
TO the financial expression of national graf
tude, and have we not reached that limit?
More than S3,OoO0o0.CCo has been expended
I'm the way of pensions, and to-day when
only one-quarter Of the men engaged In
the suppression Of the Rebellion survive,
tho annual expenditure Is over $50 100000.
II is unwise-in fact, folly-to attempt to
raise the sum at this late day to almost
500 100000.
Although tho House passed the measure
giving each veteran 81 day, we trust that
the Senate will prove wiser, or, at least.
that President Taft, with his strong com
mon sense, will veto IT.
