Annuity for Civil War Officers.

Congressman Charles II. Rowland
Of Pennsylvania was the author during
the last Congress Of bill proposing
to create a Civil War Officers an
nuity roll" In his measure he fixed
a monthly payment OF from s45 to SIS
per month, acdording 10 rank for
officers who served two years or more,
and corespondingly less pay down to
$35 for those who served not less than
six months, or received certain speci.
fed injuries. Such officers would be
entered on the annuity roll' and not
be entitled to a pension. Mr.. Row
land discovered that in 1928 and 1882
about so years after the close Of the
Revolution, Congress passed a law
providing that the surviving officers Of
the war should receive full pay for life.
A similar time has elapled aimee the
Civil war, and Representative Rowland
is Of the opinion that we should make
as generous provision for the surviving
officers of that war.

Germany. The amount is S2l0, 900

history. 1t is also larger than any
nation ever had at any time in the his

ing observation is also true as to our
present gold supply.
The statement naturally acquires
special interest in view Of our inter
national crisis. It is estimated that we
could lend to entente allies $4,000
000,00 without any strain on our re-
scources. That would assure them oI
victory, if anything could We may
not do it but it is a tremendous club

Able Man for Commerce Committee.

Washington, Apr. 4-(Special Cor
respondence) )-Auother instance Of
the recognition Of special ability in
assigning Republican Senators to com.
miltees was in the case Of Hon. Frank
B Kellogg Of Minnesota, who was
given a place on the great Interstate
Commerce Committee. Mr.. Kellogg
probably knows as much about the ad'
minisration Of Railroads in this coun.
try as any other man. He acted as
special counsel Tor the Interstate Com.
merce Commission in the investigation
Of the Hartman roads, and as special
counsel for the Uniaed States in the
action TO dissolve tee Union Pacigc
and the Southern Pacific merger. The
experience he gained in those case:
will render bis opinions on interstate

Cauiee a Democratic District.

Ole Of the most popular men in
Congress among his constituent is
Representative Edgar R. Keiss Of the
fifteenth Pennsylvania District. That
district was formerly very strongly
Democratic, being represented in the
three Congresses preceding Mr. Keiss'
election by no less a politician and
labor man than William B. Wilson,
nov Secretary Of Labor. In the 63rd
Congress, however, Mr.. Keiss was able
to defeat Mr.. Wilson by 500 votes and
since that he has so strengthened his
hold On, his people that he was elected
to the Oath Congress, and again 10 the

Mr.. Keiss is next to the ranking Re

on Pensions, ane takes a deep interest

Preparation for Trade Competition.

With an eye TO insuring the indust'

Of Michigan proposes that all consuls
Of the United States be instructed By
Secretary Of State to gather information
regarding trade conditions in the coun.
triss at war as they are likely 10 be

In a resolution which he introduced
in the last Congress Mr.. Nichols also
provides that such information shall

Pruning Only RemeTy for Fire Blight.

Ia recent years a disease has been

is fire blight. It attacks the pear as

There is no other known preventive
than cutting cut and burDining the

We Have the Money.

they had the money too. We have
not as many ships as We would need

billions Of it, already collected and in
the banks. The statement Of the re
scources Of the national banks, alons
made under the call for conditions a.

mazng. The resources exceeded
$4,000, 0,000, a sum that is beyond

these winter pockets can be cut out
and the wounds painted no blight
germs will be left and the disease will

Support for the President and its Basis.


The opening session Of the new
Congress finds both parties ready TO
support the President in the crisis
which now really exists. Republicans.
rejoicing that Mr.. Wilson has at length
come to a realization Of facts, will
stand with him for every measure Of
affirmative action which he purposes
to take. Democrats, regretful perhaps
that he has been unable TO longer
keep US out Of war" will necessarily
recognize his party leadership,
The President will thus become in
fact wnat a President always should be
the head Of the nation.
Il is, nevertheless, highly necessary
TO understand that this era Of good
feeling toward the President will be in
agurated and that it will continue only
on the basis Of active and efficient
leadership on his part All Republi
cans and many Democrats will baik at
any further display OF a policy Of con
cealment and inactivity.
II we are TO have war with Geamady
it must be real war. It must be
fought with bullets Of lead as well as
DULLES OF silver. 1t must be a war to
punish German assault upon our neut-
raj rights as we'll as a war Of defense
against possible Geaman attack by
land or sea.
This will involve more than loan
or gift OF money 10 the Allies, more
than patrol in the Atlantic, more
than a convoy for our ships in anv
lane OF the sea, more than a conri
button Of munitions. 1t will involve
an actual participation in the fighting
in Europe. It will involve the raising,
equipping Of an expeditionary force.
II will involve the placing OF the Stars
and Stripes beside the Tricolor and
the Cross Of St. George and the Black,
Yellow and Red Of Belgium on the
western front.
II the President is prepared for this
he will be fully supported by all. i
he is not prepared for this, he will find
a sentiment in Congress and in the
country which he will be unable to re-
sist and which he will be compelled
to follow if he will not lead it.
This sentiment arises iaom the
knowledge that active participation il
the war Dow is the suTest guarantee
Ior the Iuture peace OF the United
States. The Allies, victorious anC
with our help, will lend a willing ca
TO our needs when peace is made
When the present war is dehnetly end

The Watch on the Border.

1t is a wise policy which has halted
the demobolization OF all the national
guardsmen now on the Mexican border
however disappointing such action
must naturally have been 10 the men
themselves. While, owing TO recent
and continuing events, none of them
has been led to hope ior a mastering
out Of federal service and a return
home, it is likely that all Of them have
anticipated a change Of base with
much Of satisfaction. In the process
sion OF the equinoxes, the sun is again
attaining that point in the heavens to
make life there for all but the seasoned
residents or natives unbearable.
The fact remains that it would be
no part of preparedness" TO leave
the Mexican border unprotected or
only poorly protected now. One Of
yesterdays Associated Press dispatches
from Juarez brought news Of the oper-
ations Of band Of Villstas again march
ing on the City Of Chihuahua for YET
another taking Of that place. Dis
counting as we may and must the re-
ports Of "a battle" at Bachimba, in
which the Villastas were victorious,
and Of a movement from the south,
west and southwest against chihuahua
City, it seems reasonably clear that
there are large forces Of bandits still al
large in the Mexican states OF Sonors
and Chihuahua. It is not far 10 e
from that understanding Of the case tc
a conclusion that weakening too fa
the border patrol would be to invite
more lorays and outrages such as tha
at Columbus, N. M. not to mention
other and more serious possibilities.
We need not exaggerate the presen

need Of strong military force alone

Passing Of Siberia.

Since Mr. George Kennau, more
than a quarter Of century ago wrote
Siberia and the Exile S,stem" the
English speaking world has had full
er conception Of the horrors OF the lives
led by the political convicts than it
had until then. Until the world had a
vague idea Of Siberia as a desert lan1
in which political exles were forced 10
live without any Of the comforts OF ,ita,
in the most inclement winter climate
in the world. Keunan's revelations a
woke mankind to the realization Of
the cruelties and barbarisms visited
upon the victims Of an autocracy, not
for crimes but aspiring 10 larger liberty
and fuller life for the people Of Russia
In the first ouiburst Of indignation,
no other pen expressed so dramatically
the prevailing feeling as did that Of
Swinburne in the poem beginning with
the memorable lines:
Out OF hell word comes kissing,
dark as doom.
Fierce as FIRE and foul as plague pol
luted gloom.
Out Of hell, wherein the sinless damn
ed endure
More than ever sin conceived Of pains
impure.
More than ever ground mems living
souls to dust.
Worse than madness ever dreamed Of
murderous lust.
These, and things far worse, if such
things are,
Prove the regent, Russia; show thy
mercy, czar.
These winged and flaming words
went around the world in publications
OF all lands where freedom had home.
The imperial Russian Government
made some diplomatic representations
TO London, particularly in protest oi
the line "Smite and send him bowling
down his fathers way" which could
be construed in no other way than ad-
vising the Russians to rid themselves
Of the then reigning car, Alexander
III, as they had rid themselves Of his
father, Alexander II, only few year,
before. Nothing could come Of this
and the world accepting SwinburneS
lines as inspired damnation Of colossal
crimes, has wondered il, amid all the
other changes Of life, this monstrou'
thing could endure forever.
The wonder is now at an end. 81
