PENSIONS FOR FIX PRESIDENTS

(Nrom the Seattle Post -lntcIIiScnccr)
 So much secrecy surrounded the illness of former President Wilson during the last few months of his ncmbcmcy, that it is not clear to the American people just how far incapac- tated from making his own living he may be. There were certain evidences of obvious in irnity, notably on inauguration day, when he gave way to President Harding. It raises the point that congress should do something to provide for cX-prcsidcnts. Of twenty seven eX-prcSdents in the nations history only eleven were under sixty years of age when they retired from office and only one, R0osr. welt, was under ffty-onc It is not practicable for a president to build up a competency during his term of office, and after his retire mcnt the ordinary avenues of earning living are not within the limit of proprcty or good taste for him to enter.

 The reduction in the regular army of the United States to 100000 men, however, does not leave this country in the state of unprr- parcdncss which existed before the World war, it is contcndcd by the men who forced the reduction of the armed forces notwith- standing the earnest plea of Secretary of War Weeks, Chairman Wadsworth of the military affairs committee of the senate, and some of the Republican leaders in the house.

~ fl 'h ~Nf A'-'s A. NJ. Whit" Company. Juneau, Alaska. Dear Sirs.
 Referring to our letter of the Fist inst. 1t k true that We shipped about $30 900 co furs through the bank to Well Bros. this season.
 The principal reason we shipped this amount to them was because they handled our business satisfactorily and paid fair price for the goods We did receive a Well circu- lar and you deserve credit for this. However. We shipped to several other houses which did not mail us any advertising matter. The reason Well got the big end of our business was because he treated us right.
 Yours very truly,
