why Not Pensions for All.

Subject TO the provision that the date
OF marriage must have been prior 10
June q. 1909. every widow of one who
fought on the right side in the civil
war receives a pension. AS the Herald
says. the object Of this provision was 10
discourage the industry OF wedloCk be-
tween designing women and old soldiers
tottering OF the brink of the grave.
Now comes the annual raid This time
il takes the form of bill under the OPI
Grafton Of which. no matter what the
date Of marriage. to veteran. all
widows shall be pensioned. thus stimulat-
ing rather than discouraging the industry
referred tc. 1t is estimated that with
the removal Of this Limitation will come
an addition Of S7,5OO,OOO to the yearly
disbursements.
OF course. protests will be futile They
always come and they always go-un-
needed. After the limitation has been
set aside, why not so amend the ap-
preparation bill as to pension the second
husband OF every widow who sees it 10
marry again. with reversion in favor of
the descendants? Then all the sisters
and cousins and aunts might assert a
claim. Tearfully, OF course.-BrOokIyn

the entire campaign in which the Con-
federates took the offensive. Previously.

supplanted by Gen. Hood only three days
before. they had met the Federals be-

inficting heavy losses upon them in spite
Of inferiority in numbers.
Gen. Hood, the new commander, was
OF a different temperament than John

heavy blows rather than merely in re-

aside the one great advantage that the
Confederates possessed, that Of defen-

A Disappointing Decision.

Recently published forecasts of the Interstate
Commerce Commissions rate decision are interesting
and in view OF the fact that the decision has already
been printed may reasonably be accepted as fairly
accurate. The Eastern roads, it is announced have
been denied permission to make horizontal increase
of per in freight rates but have been granted
such increases will add SI6oooooo year to their
revenues This is probably Just about what the roads
expected. They have long been prepared for dis
appointment. Those who not in sympathy with
the railroads will argue that SI6oooooo year is
generous increase, but when the steadily increasing
cost of operation and labors growing share of the
revenues are considered the sum becomes incon-
sequental 1t is better than nothing but falls far
short of being the boon the business world has been
hoping for.
If, as reported, the decision contains rebuke to
the railroads for their alleged attempts to manufac-
ture public sentiment in form of increased rates,
and an arragnment Of their extravagant admnistra-
ton, with demand for the institution of economies
that will S25oooooo year. it will be proof that

growth, and would have applauded the commission
if it had fit to grant all that the roads asked
An arragnment OF the roads for abuses of the past
is but useless proceeding. That they existed no

been done away with. They have nothing to do with
the fact that the present rates are too low to Weld

the suggestion that there remain economies not vet

S25Ioooooo year, will amuse the railroad managers
who have been put to their wits end to make both
ends meet
If the commission can show them, however, Just
how 50 great a sum may be saved, they WILL no

The House OF Representatives should have poet
laureate Time and oft this has been demonstrated
but so forcefuly as on the occasion last week
when Representative Fowler, of Illinois, diffdenty
in his place and recited what he describes as
"a few crude verses" of his own composition 1t is
of the question that the country will agree that the
verses are crude especially the people of Mr..
Fowers district of which Elzabethtown is the center
Crude is word out of place. Epic ODE would fall
short. We quote one stanza as read by Mr.. Fowler
10 the House of Representatives:
Enough to satisfy mans daily wants
Is demanded by natures decree,
And should not suffer from hasty jaunts
OF tax collectors but should be free.
Where shall the taxing power begin
On its mission to raise revenues?
Yonder, Just where the surplus sets in
That's the place to start tax-levy crews.
There are FIVE more of them, but we refrain.
Too much is enough. It's an epic, it's an ode Why
should the author call it crude?

"Tommyrot" About TITLES.

To the Editor: Would your paper hs

popular and unpatriotic? You conduct
one OF the brOadest minded papers in tie

limit TO your charity.
However, I am venturing to protest
against all this tommyrot about American
heIresses marrying titles. Really. don't
object to the American eagle sore aiming

like an old hen. IL is time for a call
down. Our men, the best OF them, are fine
fellows of course: but Il is somewhat
egotisticai for them to assume the mo-
nopoly on good points against the world.
and il seems reasonable to assume that
some Of the heiresssS who marry foreign
ers do so becausP they love them. Some
foreignerS especially OF the better class.
are very charming men. and perhaps the
heiresses like them. And. it is most un-
complimentary 10 our girls to TAX for
granted that these nOblemen marry them
only fvr their money; is it not within the
bounds OF possibility that some nOblemen
like American girls?
At best. il is provincial and narrow
to knock foreigners habitually il our
men would cast aside prejudice and look
them over as man 10 man. they might
find some good points worth copying:
for instance. foreigners never chew to-
bacco; that in itself. may be an induce
ment to heiresses who can pick and
choose. Another nice thing about for
eign men, in general, is that they do not
talk business all the time. The other
day in a street car l sat near a man
who entertained ~ the lady with him by
explaining all about his bills Of lading,
contracts. and so on. The girl listened
with an air Of rapt attention which de-
Ceived her fstuoUs companion, but did
not deceive me, for no normal girl wants
to hear much about mans business.
She would rather hear about her beauti-
full eyes, and the Frenchman knows that:
