Wilson and the Veterans.

Wilson and the Veterans.
Editor Standard:
The National Tribune is an ardent
soldiers paper and | notice that the
editor, John McE!roy, is doing his
lever best TO prejudice the minds Of the
ODD vets against Wilson, and whoop
iilS-er-up for Taft, and his principal
argument against Wilson is that he
was born in Virginia. What a tlimsy
subterfuge! Has the accident of
birth anything to do with a mans
principles: AS well might you find
fault with Lincoln because he was
lorn in Kentucky, or many other
presidents that We're born in the South.
OF course the object is to catch the
soldiers vote for Taft and no doubt
many will allow themselves to be hum
plugged by such rot. | presume | ser
we'd as long in the Civil War as most
men in this country and have no fear
of Wilson's working against the sol
diers. He is a broad minded man
and perhaps as well posted on United
States history as any living man and
knows as well as any other the treat
ment of the soldiers after the war by
the Grand Old Party. He knows as
well as | that the greenback saved the
war and every soldier and every sailor
and every working man had to take
1t, but it wasn't good enough for the
bond h0lder-the man who staid at
home and layed his plans to rob the
government that the soldier redeemed
from disruption. The bond holder
hic cnin ha b,I
take the deprecated currency
deprecated by act of Congress insti-
gated by bond holders for the purpose
of buying them in at as low as 50 cents
on the dollar and investing them in
United States bonds dollar for dollar,
as damnable a scheme as was devised
by the brain of man.
Many old soldiers forget this. don't
1t would be amusing, if not ridicu-
lous to see how the Grand Old Party
papers eulogize Taft for signing the
pension bill. Why bless your souls,
comrades he didn't dare do anything
else on the eve of election. Why not
give credit where it belongs, to the
Democratic Congress?
Another argument Mr. McElroy sets
up, is that Cleveland spent S2,000,0O0
in investigating pension frauds. Well
why shouldn't he? Everybody knows
that after the war frauds multiplied
into thousands and they required in
vestigatiOn, but he never took pen
sion from a soldier if he deserved it,
and. the law was not as liberal then
as now. 1t took Democratic Con-
gress to give the soldiers justice. They
know that, because of vicious Republi-
can legislation, the soldier got only
about Sc per month. while the bond
holder got nearly three dollars for one,
and they showed their sense of justice
for the underdOg by passing the best
pension bill ever passed by Congress.
Any old veteran who allows himself
to be hoodwinked into voting for Taft
by such rot as he finds in the Grand
Old Party papers had better soak his
cocOanut in solution of ivory soap
and distilled water so that some rat
ional ideas may soak in.

WilNOn'a Winning NOte.

(Puyallup Valley Tribune, Democratic.)
That was an admirable speech which
Governor Wilson delivered to the stu.
dents at Princeton. Felicitous in
phrase, clear in analysis, and full of
information and essential truth, the
brief address was at once an argument
and an appeal. Governor Wilson ex-
pressed in plain. clear language the
doctrine that the boss has no politics
but graft. The boss belongs to no
party, and unites with other bosses
60 control both parties. The general
recognition of this fact is the best pro-
mise of the abolition of the boss Pro-
gressives of all parties-Democrat, In
dependent and Republican-note with
eminent satisfaction that Governor
Wilson in his recent speeches is swing
ing into an aggressive campaign which
deserves and Will win success.

The decision Of the supreme court
Of this state that Judge Black, through
mis- position on The bench of the super
lor court, is disqualified to be nom
NEE for any political office, is in ac-
cOrdance with the obvious intent and
meaning Of the state constitution. as
The large majority of the supreme

dance with sound ethics, as is held by
he two judges who dissent because

To attempt to nullify the obvious
and unmistakable intent of the con-
Stitutional provision, through the sew
erely technical argument on the matter
Of the exact day when the term of
Judge should end, was an attempt to
10 violence to the principle that for
bids partisan activity on his own
behalf to any occupant of the bench.
Other judges, with clearer under
standing of the intent and meaning of
the constitution, and also with high
er regard for the dignity and pro-
prieties of judicial position, have re-
peatedly refused to raise such a point
when rendered political positions 1t
is pity, for his own sake, that Judge
Black refused to take that position.

If any Democrat feels disposed to
bet on the election, let him make a
careful estimate of his surplus cash
and decide how much he could afford
to lose Then let him put the amount
into the campaign fund. This has
several advantages o. or betting. First,
it makes victory more certain; second
it increases the pleasure one gets out
of victory, and, third, in case of defeat,
no Republican gets the money.

Roosevelt is placing himself in the
same position as the boy who talked
too much. Such absurd statements
as he has ben making in Missouri to
the effect that Clark was defeated for
the. nomination by the Democratic
bosses and that Wilson owed his nom-
ination to them are so far from the
facts that they not only make him ap-
pear ridiculous but make votes for the
man at whom the insinuations are d.
rected. The voters are not in hum
or to be misled by false statements
even If uttered by Mr.. Roosevelt.
