In Line of Duty

Washington police and firemen injured in line of duty do
not receive disqualification after retirement from the force
which they served.
this condition works extreme hardship
Often members of the police fire departments
PEELED retire because physical disability due to wounds
injuries received in service.
They consequently lose out their pay and still the District
refuses grant them proper treatment for their injuries at the
citys expense.
INAsMUCH AS THE WOUNDS ARE THE DIRECT RE-

They Did Their Job

Valiant survivors of conquering army have
turned this week the Capital which they defended and
protected.
The welcome which this city felt in It's heart when,
young and vigorous the manhood Of Nation rushed
to its than seventy years ago. was no more
sincere than the welcome which the community offers to
the remnants of that army in the and yellow
of age
The SEVENTEEN national encampment Of the Grand
Army of the Republic may be the last formal assembly
of the members of the army
It is sad thought but which cannot be avoided,
for death has taken heavy toll of those who fought
through the battles of fierce war.
Probably fewer than thousand have been able to
make this years journey to the encampment those that
have done so will feel the wear and tear of the trip.
In the interest of their health it probably would be
better not to urge them again to subject themselves to
the strain.
The review which takes place tomorrow as one Of the
features Of the encampment therefore, will probably be
the last recollection of that grand review which immed
atey followed the victory which these men achieved
These patriots have done their job.
They bequeath to those who survive great tradition
of loyalty, of courage, and Of devotion.
Theirs was glorious struggle, fitttngly crOOned

That unity has neUer been seriously threatened

campaign. And there's been a
plenty. ~,
But let Cal tell about the oil
man and the farmers. Cal says in
his book:
"Another thing was pointed
out to him: 'Alf, you're an oil
man. Most of the voters in this
State are farmers, and they
. won't vote for an oil man.
"T don't know said ALI.
Farmers and oil men have a
whole lot in common. The
farmer puts seed in the ground
and waits for something to come
up. The oil man puts hole in
the ground, and more often
not, just waits"
And that is just what makes
this book interesting. Cal Tinney,
who writes a mean bit Of homely
humor about every two or three
paragraphs, is writing about man
who can tell a story almost as
good as Cal.
STOEY CHOICE
AS a follow-up, he repeats in
his volume another story told by
Governor Landon in which the
candidate claims that he knows
something about farming because
he is better at it than the city
boy who visited his grandfather's
farm.
The city boy went out to the
barn to bride a horse and he made
the mistake of attempting it on a
COW. The grandfather called
after him, and the boy replied:
II can't get the bride over
his head. His ears are frozen"
Even a story like that is worth
a laugh in the city as well as in
the country.
Now Mr.. Tinney's manuscript is
chock full of this kind of stories.

Hthat the planners, at least, tried
to do something.
Such an argument does not hold.
The left-wing economists to whom
the President gave full reign, were
a cock-Sure, omniscient lot who
brooked no opposition.
They got rid of the Douglases
and the Peeks who refused to go
along with them and who pre-
sumed to question their blue
prints even before the President
himself.
These an-knowing gentlemen
did not deal in SimplicitieS. If they
had, one simple little question
might have occurred to arrest
their planned economy. 1t was
this:
"What about the increase in
pOpulatiOn?"
They never thought of that. In
this year, 1896, the United States
has 100000 more inhabitants
than it had in 1880. This means
100000 more mouths to feed,
100000 more bodies to clothe,
the need of millions of homes,
millions of automobiles, millions
of the luXurieS and comforts
which have become commonplace
in America.
NEW DETECTIVES
To use the expression of a
prominent gentleman of the day,
it is quite "cock-eyed" to preach
a more abundant life while prac-

things which would provide that
more abundant life.
