VETERANS OF 1898

The House recently passed bill increasing
the pensions of veterans of the Spanish American
War of the Philippine Insurrection and the Chinese
Boxer Rebellion. It was worthy measure, passed
without dissenting vote.
In brief but able speech in behalf of the
measure. Congressman Almon of Alabama said:
1t will not be denied that the veterans of
other wars have been more generously treated than
the veterans of the Spanish War. am glad to
know that the prospects are now so favorable for
the correction of this injustice. 1t was the only
American war in which all Of thefspldiers were
volunteers The records of the war Department
show that there were casualtiss according to
the number involved than in either the Civil or
World War" y 80 s.
Those statements are entirely correct. While
the Spanish War was looked upon as a small af-
fair It meant in risk of life to the participants
than any war in our history.
Out of less than q 900 men on the firing line
II the battle Of Santiago on July l. 1898, the Am
orleans casualties in killed and wounded totalled
f,541 men, or approximately - per cent in one
days fighting. Other thousands died of typhoid
end malaria fevers, while many suffered permanent
" impaired health.
This tardy act of injustice to the surviving
veterans and their widows should meet with uni
sersal approval

cAsT-AwAys ON STOCK ISLAND

There are numerous simple and humane me-
thods Of getting rid Of domestic animals that may
have become undesirable to have about the home,
and any who throws dog or cat away to
starve to death should be prosecuted for cruelty to
animals and given the maximum penalty provided
by the law.
The reports from Stock Island that cats and
dogs being dumped over there to starve to
death deeply resented by che kind-hearted peo-
pie of Key West, and they cannot imagine that a
genuine Key Wester could be so heartIess and
cruel.
through strange country and find their way back
to old homes from which they had been taken
Horses and cattle find their ways home through
dense forests over barren plains. It is strange
that this instinct does not guide the cats and
dogs from Stock Island to their old homes in Key
West, at least get into the residential portion
Of the city where food to sustain life might be
foraged
Possibly the poor animals now being found on
Stock Island had followed or got lost from their
owners over there and yet faithfully searching
in vain for them, still hoping to find them. A
faithful dog will starye to death for his master,
and has been known to do so on many occasions
But heartless people who would cast away
helpless animals to slowly starve to death ought to
be prosecuted and punished to the limit of the law.

WORK AND PAY

A delegation Of English trade unionists has
been touring America to find out why our work.
men get 50 much higher pay than is earned in Eng
land. President Coolidge, IN his aententious way,
told them Ii was because they work.
Some people seem to think that they can get
high pay without doing much work. through vari.
GUS forms Of organization, personal pull. etc. But
Il does not usually come out that way.
There Is q rough sort Of justice that works
almost automatically in industrial relations, and in
the long run people get out Of their pay envelope
about what they put into in in the way Of effort
and intelligence. Those who are looking for soft
snaps on their own labor. are apt 70 find that the
noise made by their pay envelope also softens
down 70 such small amount that they can hardly
hear what It says.

OPPOSE SMALLER BILLS


Bank telers are voicing opposition to the pro-
posal Of the Treasury Department to reduce the
size Of paper currency by making bills three
eighths of inch narrower and three quarters of
an inch shorter. Several very good reasons are
advanced for opposing the suggested change.
II is declared that difficulty in counting would
result from mixing old sizes with the new; that
uninformed foreigners in America would be con-
fused and likely to imagine that the new bills were
counterfeit; that similar difficulty would arise
IN passing the smallersized bills abroad; that
handling two sizes of bills cash registers and is,
as well as carrying them in bill-folds, would lead
to loss Of time and the possibility Of counting out
large BIS with smaller ones concealed between
them, and 50 on.
It is not believed that any advantage which
might arise from the adoption Of the smaller size
would offset the objections noted. especially as
several years would elapse before nh those Of the
present size could be retired from circulation.
Few Of Us habitually carry around sufficient
number Of paper bills TO make their present size
and weight any serious hardship
