Prominent Republican Paper Talks Plainly
About the Pension System.
There must be a limit some
where to the scope of the pension
system . Congress laid down such
a limit in the law of 1890, and re
affirmed it in the law of 1908
Why should it be removed now?
The trouble with extensions of
this sort that one breeds another,
and if the widow who married a
veteran forty-eight or forty-nine
years' after his discharge from the
service of the United States is en
titled to a pension, it may be
urged next that the oldest surviv
ing son cr daughter of every vet
eran is likewise entitled to life
support from the government.
Under existing laws the nation
has provided most generouslv for
thb civil war and those legitimate
ly dependent upon them and af
feoted by their disabilities. But
the Une must be drawn some
where, and Congress, having
rounded ont our pension system
in the legislation of the last four
years, ought to set its face against
further extensions.
Last year's expenditure on ac
count of mi'itaiy pensions was
$155,895,049. That total ha-been
exceeded only once in the fiscal
year 1892-'93i when the back pay
ments authorized by the law of
loUO reached tbeir maximum
and is about $12,000,000 greater
than the everage expenditure be
tween 1893 aud 1907. It is ap
parent that Congress has been
most open-handed in meeting the
claims of the civil war pensioners
since but for the increased in rates
and the numerous inclusions au
thorized in the last four years
the annual expenditure wcutd
now have fallen to less than $12
000,000. It is time to consider
the pension system as adequate
and complete. New York Tri

Mr. Bryan States His Position.
Everybody who knows any
thing or who has any sense at all
know how I stand in the matter of
being a candidate for the presi
dency for the fourth atimp," said
William J. Bryan to-day when
asked if ho would again be a .can
didate. "I have made myself clear on
this subject time and again," he
continued; "and if the people
haven't sense enough to under
stand it why what's the use of ex
plaining it over again."
"I am not an out and out can
didate, but if the people of this
country and my own party should
demand that I make the face
again, standing for my well-known
principles and ideas, why, I do
not see how I could refuse.
"Still four years is a long time,
and meanwhile I have other im

The "Bostatska Gazette" is the
name of a trade "paper" now pub

contains articles by experts on
the art of burglary, advice and
hints to help the beginner and
fall reports of the latest thefts
and burglaries. The ''Bostatska
Gazette," or the Barefooted Gaz

secrecy, but it will not be long be
fore the police will discover its
printing office and suppress it.
