SOLDIERS OBJECT OF CHARITY.

1t is just as we'll for the old
who are drawing pensions to
bear In mind that Woodrow Wilson
regards them as the recipients of
charity rather than the recipients Of
merited rewards. In his History of
the American People he vigorously
defends the pension policy of Grover
cleveland and on page $50 volume 5.
DR.. Wilson says:
What most attracted the atten-
ton OF the country, aside from his
action in the matter of appoint
ments to office, was the extraordf-
nary number of his vetoes Most
of them were uttered against pen
sion bills. great and small Both
democratic house and republican
senate were inclined TO grant anv
man or class of men who had sery-
ed in the federal armies during the
civil war the right to be supported
under the national treasury. and
Mr. Cleveland set himself reso-
iutely to check their extravagance.
He deemed 1T enough that those
VINO had been actually disabled
should received pensions from tho
government, and regarded add.-
tional gifts for mere service ho.h
an un1ustifiable use OF the public
money and gross abuse of
charity

pendently you reinstate the Mason
and Dixon line.
Yet both these evils are at once
involved when the law gives any
man a title to a natural resource
which he will not make use of
For instance-to grant railroad
franchise and then have it hold
that franchise to sell at a profit as
has been done, not only allows a set
of men to earn without service, but
enables them to prevent others from
building railroad until their
profit" is realized
Land ownership. which is another
form of franchise-the exclusive use
of natural right granted to ind.-
viduals-is a most fearful privilege
when 1t is granted and not used. IL
means that some speculator is MAX
ing profit without service and that
laborers are compelled to work else
where If at all-and that refers
again to the Mason and Dixon line.
How simple is the proposition that
a title to unused land is the source
OF unspeakable poverty and ruin.
How many people are there who even
dare to think about it? And yet the
remedy is as simple as the civil.
Simply stop granting titles to unused
land.

DEATH DEALING HASTE.

We hear great deal of talk about
the return to the simple life. Would
it not be well If we returned to the
simple life in travel, also, rather
than plunge thousands to destruc-

death-dealing haste? Is life held so
