Pensions for Ex-Presidents.

Senator Calder's proposal to give
cx-Prcsidcnt" a penSion Of $1,000
has aroused an animated discussion
in the Senate which is renewed from
time TO time but without any results
II has been tried numerous times to
make some provision for fX-lr"Si-
dents but each tim" it has ended

II is fact that very few of our
Presidents har" had great personal
fortunes. \ i'r- Sidcnt holding ofsic"
for just one term cannot save much
from his salary. However, during
two terms. h" has chance TO m
vest his savings so that they will
yield him "A sufficient incOn" for the
rest of his life. But W" must re-
member that tn" President, just like
the rest of US mortals. can suffer
losses through speculation.
Opponents of Senator Calder state
that no rx-Prcsidcnt has as yet found
himself in need of n pension and no
ex President Will ever find himself
in need Of one. because he will either
be financially independent or he will
easily get a position which will in
sure his future. But where is the
guaranty? Is it not possible that
after leaving the White House the
; Pre- sid"nt may find himself without

without any provision for the future?
There is. for instance. the risk of sick:
ness The position of the President
of the United states is so responsible
calls for such strain on both mental
and physical powers, that it requires
an except ionally strong man to leave
the office strong enough to hold Il

we want the highest official in the
United States left to such chance?

The Issue at Berlin.

by some of the German leaders that

venture upon his revolt against the
plehisCit" award without the assurance
of French support. \ belief prevails
that Upper Silesia is lost to Germany,
and peSsimists declare that in view Of
the inpossibility of disarning Bavaria
in compliance with tn" allied demand
occupation of the Ruhr district is in
evitahle. and the fear is openly cX-
pressed that it will b" permanent.
Meanwhile, difficulty is experienced
in re0i&anizin& the government. The

Astigmatism is really distorted

an irregular curvature OF the front
surface OF the eye. This should be
shaped like the section OF perfect

Astigmatism is very common de-

horizontal lines only, vertical lines
only, or those at some incline be-

sigh degree the vision seems unim-

defect. However. this unnatural
strain causes severe headaches and
