Republicans and Pensions.

The United States Senate, which is
still dominated by Republicans, has
cheated the surviving old soldiers of
the Civil War out of what the Demo
cratic Housesdefind as just compen-
sation for the hardships and losses they
suffered in the war, namely: dollar
d-day pension. The Sherwood bill,
passed by the House, and urged with a
zeal and sincerity never excelled in
Congress. was rejected by the Senate,
and in its stead a substitute bill offer
ed by Senator Smoot, of Utah, who is
friendly to no class of American citi-
zens except those millionaires who
own the tariff trust, was adopted.
President Taft, who frequently ex-
pressed a friendship for the old
soldiers when he was a candidate for
office, was absolutely silent while the
Sherwooa. bill was under:discussion in
the Senate with the result that the
real friendsj of the, old soldiers got no
aid from him.
This bill, while it fails in the opin-
ion of Democratic members of Con-
gress to meet tthesrequirements of the
situation: was the best2that could he
obtained in view of the attitude of the
Senate and the President. Some of
the ablest Democrats in the Senate in
Guiding Senator Kern. of Indiana. did
all they could to convince the .Republi-
can Senate of the justice of the Sher-
wood bill and urged its passage just
as it: came from the House.
1t was pointed out that the old
soldiers are dying at the rate of 100 a
day and that the increased draft on
the Treasury would be only temporary
and Of little consequence. In 10
instance did the Democrats support the
Sherwood bill for no other reason than
that it proposed to pay the old soldiers
what was their just DUE The justice
of the right of the bill were urged con.
stantly.
| The Sherwood bill had ! it nasseC
woulu have ended pension Legislation
for years to come. Special pension
bills which now occupy much of the
time of Congress would have been done
away with whereas, under the Smoot
arrangement it is questionable wheth
er there will be any decrease in thi:
form of Legislation with Its attendant
drain on the time of Congress and its
wholly unsatisfactory way of dealing
with the situation.
The Sherwood bill was right. II
solved the question in the way it shoulC
be solved, and the old soldiers car
blame the Senate and the President
for once more delaying their just
claims.
