PRESIDENT PLAYS GOLF.

Recreation.

President and Mrs Wilson played golf
again this morning. the President hav-
ing no engagements until the after
noon. when he was scheduled for brief
conferences with two people-Secretary
Wilson of the Department of Labor and
Malcolm McAdoo. brother of Secretary
NcAdoo.
The regular meeting of the cabinet
was dispensed with, as was the regular
session Tuesday afternoon. the Presi-
dent being determined to take as much
rest from official duties as possible dur
ing this week.
There are no developments of the
peace maneuvers ready to be placed be-
fore the cabinet and no important de-
partmental work requiring the Presi-
dents immediate attention. 1t Is not
expected that the peace situation will
again come before the cabinet until
there is an accumulation of concrete
facts that the President may want the
common counsel of his cabinet ad-
yisers upon.

Appeals to Patriotic Citizens.

listing in many of the mountain regions.
These people have no education. have
no idea of thoughts of sanitation and
are poverty-stricken beyond descrip-
tion. Boys of five and six years of
age use tobacco, drink whisky and
swear.
These people are of pure Anglo
Saxon stock. No one can tell to what
heights they might rise II they We're
given a fair chance 1 do not think
any patriotic American citizen can fail
to do his duty towards these people.
Miss Trimble has found the members
of Congress whom she has visited deep
Nv interested in this matter when it
was called to their attention. 1t IS
her hope that some definite. con-
structive action may be taken at this
session.

THE PENSION GRAFT.

This government is annually being
filched Of a sum of money through
Wholesale pension frauds large
enough to almost run the whole works.
II we could get It worked down to a
clean, honest, just basis. The fol.
lowing from the Dallas Dispatch is an
eye opener on the subject OF pensions
Take peep az these pension fe.
ures quoted by Representative Nor.
gan OF Louisiana in a recent speech.
In our war with Spain proper we
lost 29S men all told. About $4,000
soldiers actually participated and 90.
900 OF them already draw pensions
totalling. since the war to date. $50.
100000. To civil war pensioners Uncle
Sam has handed out Si.799,O3OIs2. All
the revolutionary war pensions we
have ever paid aggregate $4,000 600.
Morgan declares that most OF this
business has been worked up BY pro.
fessional pension agents To those
agents We have paid in ten years s..
$4,000 The expenses OF the pension
bureau for the past eleven years have
aggregated over S3O.OOO.OOO.
"The pension proposition is a deli.
cate subject TO handle. Everybody
wants to do full justice to those men
and their dependents. who fought for
their country. But that the pension
industry has resolved itself into a
huge graft upon which a host OF un.
scrupulous harpies thrive at the ex.
pense OF the taxpayers Is strongly sus.
pected. Yet the average congressman
dares not even mention a revision Of
the pension rolls out loud.
Some day, maybe. we will get
congress with the nerve to tackle the
job In earnest"
