Old Soldier Protests.

Tuesdays Minneapolis Journal had
an editorial on the Sherwood Pension
Bill, which called forth protest from
W. L. Colyer. The editorial appeared
under the caption of "Politics and
Pension Bills" and was as follows =
"The passage of the Sherwood pen
sion bi by the House is a good ex-
ample of the sort of politics that may
be expected of Congress in session
preceding a National campaign. Such
a law would take from the Treasury,
according to the estimate of the Sc
eretary Of the Interior, seventy-five
millions in its first year. in addition
to the one hundred and fifty millions
to be paid under existing pension
laws.
"The Government has already paid
nearly four billion dollars to veterans
of the Civil and preceding wars. A
Democratic House, pledged to reduce
the tariff to revenue basis, and low
er the cost of living, passes bill to
satisfy whose requirements would alb
sorb one fourth of all the money now
being raised by customs duties.
''How do the Democrats expects to
reduce duties and at the same time
pay such pensions?
"What are pledges of economy
worth from a Party which at stroke
adds seventyfVe millions to the
National expenditure? This brings
up the question whether sthe Demo-
cratic majority was sincere. Evident
ly it was not. 1t never has been the
special champion of old soldiers.
Evidently this is done to put the ques.
tion up to the Senate, which is Re-
publican. If the Senate rejects the
Sherwood bill. the Democrats will
60 to Ohio, Indiana, Kansas and other
States where the old soldiers are
strong with the cry that they attempt
ed to 10 something for the veterans,
but the Republican Senate would not
permit it. If the Senate passes the
bill and the President vetoes it. they
will say that the Democrats were the
soldiers friends. while the Republican
President was opposed to them.
Fortunately, however. the public
is better Informed today on the pen
sion business than it once was. 1t
knows the vast amounts that have
been paid, and paid willingly. 1t
knows that the total pension bill
forty-six years after the War closed
is five times the maximum predicted
by Garfield fifteen years after the war
closed 1t knows that pensions have
cost in half century as much as the
War itself cost. 1t knows that the
old soldiers have been literally treat
ed. 1t knows that the United States
and nearly every Northern State has
provided homes for veterans who are
without means. furthermore. the
best element among the veterans
themselves revolts against this idea
of now paying for their blood and
sacrifices at "a dollar day.

select ting any pavement for their
street unless they were fully convinc-
ed that their money will not be vast

better for the property owners and

Is A SUICIDE
AUTHOR OF "THE SHEPHERD
KING" Whales GAS TN HIS
APARTMENTS.
WAS SHORT OF FUNDS
Killed Himself On the Day His Big
Lawsuit Against William A.
Brady Was Set.

New York, Dec. 22.-Wright Lor-
inner, the author of THE Shepherd
King and many other successful
plays, committed suicide last night
by inhaling gas in his apartments in
this city.
Mr.. Lorimer has been in financial
straits for some time past, but even
his closest friends did not suspect
he was desperate. He left numer,
Gus notes to friends and relatives
explaining the cause of his suicide
He was unmarried but had a large
family of sisters and brothers.
One of the strangest features of
Lorimer's suicide was that he chose
the day set for the calling of his suit
for $9S,4O0 against William A.
Brady for alleged breach of con-
tract, to end his lise Lorimer SEEM
ed to have lost hope of winning
the suit and although it may have
appeared hopeless, his friends be-
lieved that he still had a great ca
reer before him On 1.-THE stage.
There was possibility that he
might have brought about a recon-
Citation with Mr.. Brady,( but Lori
mer evidently was bitter against
Brady and would not make the first
advance.
Mr.. Lorimers right name was
