In this issue Of the CoURI-

Kirk, of Paintsville, as a can
didate for the nomination for
Appellate Judge of the sew
enth district, together with
some of the reasons why the
Republ c: n, especially of the.
mountain counties, which
compose the greater part of
the district, should give him
their loyal support. While
the COURIER is a Democratic
paper it is not blind to the
fact that the seventh Appel

lican and that a nomination
on that ticket is equiv alent
to an election, unless attend
by by extraordinary circum-
stances, and that a Republi-
can Judge is the Judge of all
people, therefore itfeels free
in this instance, to exercise
its prerogative and to speak,
for what it believes to be to
the best interests of of the
people composing this dis

The Pension Fraud.

Fifty-one years after the be-
ginning of the great internecine
struggle of North and South,
seventy-four years after the
Mexican war, we have the big
gest pension roll in the history
of the nation. When we consid-
err that the average Mexican war
veteran should be about ninety
five and the civil war soldier
about seventy, is it not strange
that the pension roll does not de-
crease?
According to natural laws the
hardships, the wounds and the
exposures of four years cam
paigning should have shortened
the span of life of the survivors,
but, judging from the pension
rolls, it has had the opposite eff
feet; ithas upset hygiene and
acted as an elixir, adding years
to the lives of those who fought.
1t is a bit puzzling to account for
the fact that the pension rolls
contain more names at this late
date than did the army muster
rolls, making no allowance for
the killed in battle and those dy-
ing since the war, bit Inever was
good in arithmetic. But no man
who considers can doubt that
there are immense frauds perpe-
trated in keeping the list with
practically no diminution fifty
years after hostilities are over.
When will the end be? l know
that this is a unpopular theme.
Congressman who seek the pop
ularity THAT comes by favors

on thf lists who We're tadpole
