Taft Ignored Protest

No attention has been paid by the
president to those resolutions, as was
expected. The old soldiers in public
position under the national govern
ment today have learned in the past
four years to expect nothing. Editor
Harris of the Amsterdam News, in a
very able editorial, which the Even
ing Mail quoted in full recently, COM
plains among other things of the ap-
pointment by President Taft of a
score or more of ex-Confederates to
prominent public positions; yes, but
there is no disposition to find fault
with these appointments; they, too,
were brave men, and fought for the
right as they saw it; but why has
there been this discrimination against
the Union soldier, who has absolute
ly been ignored by the president?
For this discrimination there is
just cause for complaint all along the
line Who can name one Union SOL
der who has been appointed to a lu-
crative office by President Taft?
Therefore, why should they want four
years more of this kind of admins
tration?
l have been a lifelong republican,
active in every campaign, and as a
civil war veteran. forty years on the
firing line of defense of veterans

ways"
1t is pointed out by those interest
ed in waterway improvements, that
Canada has a vital interest in the in
tracoastal canal project, since the
completion of the Lake Champaign
Hudson river valley branch of the
New York state barge canal two
years hence will form direct connec-
tions by canal between New York and
other Atlantic coast ports, and such
cities as Montreal and Quebec, Cana
da. Again, alarge firm that has in
terested itself in the waterway move
ment for years declares that with the
completion of this branch they will
ship annually one million tons of ore
from Canada over this waterway to
New York, where it will have to be
re-shipped by rail to points along the
Atlantic coast, unless the protected
intracoastal project is finally COM
pleted.

Grand Army entire of the state, have
never been accorded more than re-
spectful acknowledgment; no word
coming from or by direction of the
president containing even a crumb of
comfort or an assurance that a halt
would be called in these demotions
and removals. And to the appeals of
some in this city for consideration be-
cause of their war service, they have
had for an answer: Your war SER
vice cuts no figure in this department
and you have the alternative of re-
signing" In one case of civil war
veteran employee of the immigration
service, his pay was reduced from
$50 to $50 month, to make sure that
this man, with a family. would resign.
The recent department encamp-
ment at Newburg adopted a resolu-
ton strongly protesting against this
unjust discrimination against veter-
ans and violation of the civil service
law exception in favor of veterans as
to age.
