HAMMER MAIN FACTOR IN WAR Washington, April 7.—Representa tive Hammer is being felicitated by bis colleagues for his efficient work in helping to pass in the house the Spanish war pension bill. He was the onftr minority member at the subcommittee of the pension' com mittee that prepared the bill, and largely wrote the bill himself. His speech on the bill in .the house made it plain to the whole membership that the Spanish war veterans had received only a miserable compensa tion from the government, while the civil war veterans and the world war -veterans had been the recipients of liberality from an overflowing treasury. When the Spanish war came on North Carolina raised three regi ments. Many of these men are still living. Some of them were maimed or crippled or otherwise invalided , for life in the service in Cuba or the Philippines. Mr. Hammer determin ed that these men should share as far as possible, man for man, with the men of the world war. The bill, passed by the housy yes terday and now goes to the senate, where it is scheduled to pass before the session ends, pensions all per sons who served 90 days or more in \ the military or naval service during the war with Spain in Cuba, in the Philippine insurrection or in the China relief expedition. It grants a • ’ pension of not less than $20 pdr month, nor more than $50 per month to such persons. Those who served in the military or naval service less than 90 days shall have title to the pension if they were discharged on account of disability contracted in service in line of duty. The bill provides for an automatic increase of rates as follows: The $12 rate to $20, the $15 rate to $25, the $18 rate to $30, the $24 rate to $40, and the $30 rate to $50. The percentage of increase as to all classes is exactly the samb. tinder the provisions of this bill the widow, re-married i widow, minor children under the age of 16 years and helpless children are entitled to a pension of $30 per month and $8 * -per month additional on account of each child. Under the provisions of the act of September 1, 1922, the widow was entitled to only $20 per month and*$4 per month additional «n account of each child. Under act -of September 1, 1922, the widow hail title only if she was married to the. soldier, sailor, -or marine prior to the date of approval of that act but this bill provides that she may have title if die marries any time before the present bill becomes a law. If there be no widow, or one not entitled to pension under any law -granting additional pension to minor children, the minor children will be entitled to the pension provided for the widow from the date of the fath er’s death, if such death occurs af ter the passage of this act, and in event of the death or re-marriage of the widow, or forfeiture of the wid ow’s title to pension, the pension will continue to sueh children until 16 years of age. Provision is also made tor the continuance of pension in the case of a minor child who is insane, Idiotic, or otherwise permanently helpless. The bill provides a rate of ,$72 per month for persons now pensioned or who may hereafter be pensioned nnder the act of June .5, 1920, or under the act, ad amended, or under the act “on account of his or her service,” who are or may become helpless or blind, or so nearly help . less or blind as to need or require the regular aid and attendance of another person, provided their dis abilities are not tiie result of their • own vicious habits, but it is also provided in the bill that no one while an inmate of the United States soldiers home dr any national, or state soldiers home shall he paid more'than $50 per month tinder the > act. i The bill provides increase of pen sion rates for certain specific dis I abilities incurred in lipe of duty as follows: For loss of a hand or a foot or total disability, increase from to $64 per month; for loss of arm at or above the elbow, or a leg at or above the knee, or total disability in this respect, Increase from $64 to $72 per month; for loss of an arm at the shoulder Joint or a leg at the hip joints or so near the shoulder or hip joint, “or where the tname is in su£h condition as to pre vent the use of an artificial limb,” increase from $72 to $80 per month; for total loss of sight of both eyes, increase from $100 to $125 per month.

ELECTRIC CHAIR FOR “FENCES" In old ag* as their hold on lift becomes feeble, men turn to an other world and future life. Sir Oliver Lodge, a scientist and an old man, is criticised by fellow Kbers of the Royal Society use of his belief in spiritU attsra. In a dignified reply Sir Oliver offers to resign from the sodety, if his presence there is not wanted. Instead of criticising Um , Ills fellow scientists should respect Ids belief that supplies consolation. Perhaps, when all the scientists of the Koyal Society die, and meet Sir Oliver Lodge, somewhere else, they will, know that Ms ideas were as near the truth as their own. The Princess Murat is selling fine dresses for a living. Her friends weep for her but need not weep. Her fate would be described by Mr. Abraham Lincoln Erlanger as “fifty-fifty.” Having spent the first part of her life Buying and wearing expensive dresses, she will spend the second part selling them to ladies that still have their money. The Princess 'will find more real interest in salesmanship than in merely wearing fine feathers. The fox that catches a peacock has a more interesting life than the peacock spreading its tail feathers in the sunshine. Statistics show that Harvard graduates when they marry have few children, many of them no children. The number of children Har vard marriages increases steadily and the number of homes where there are children diminishes Steadily. This doesn t mean that educa tes reduces fertility. It that the prosperous class are pro vided with birth control informar tion, forbidden to the poor. A chaiyning lady—an American —comes from Europe carrying a sweet little four-pound black and tan dog—a refined, elegant little dog. It wore a silk hood on its head, a little flannel Jacket but toned tightly around its stomach and chert, a cloak of warm wool, a nice little handkerchief, used by the maid to wipe its -noee and eyes. It had gloves, or shoes, of the finest Idd for its four little feet. Once in a while it must run around'on the Round and might hurt its toes. The kid prevents that. This well-cared-for dog costs, the lady says, about $4,000 a year for upkeep. ) .i. Fathers bringing up a family on $2,600 a year or less are invited by earnest radicals to think and roar about this. There is no need of roaring. Some that are too rich must be foolish with their MONEY, as many that are too poor are ex tremely foolish with their TIME. The owner of the little dog would probably waste the money on herself, if she didn’t spend it on the dog. What difference does it make, whether the money is wasted on the black and tan, or the lady? v, It is possible to be too con vincing. Macario Tbnon, bead of a "Satanic Mystic Order at Loctfer,” said be possessed “the magic atone" with which he worked won den. There were no. wonders, of course, and no- magic atone. But his foolish followers didn’t know that. They tortured -the aged im postor to death to man him tail where the magic atone wad. Moral: Don’t fool jIfmr fellow man concerning this world or the next.

When Cephas Bowman, deputy collector of internal revenue, told j the Randolph county Republicans in convention assembled in the court house at Asheboro April 3rd, in his desperate effort to get the county delegation to Durham instructed for B. C. Campbell for State chairman, that Brownlow Jackson and Campbell would name the next head of the par ty in the State, he must have known whereof he spoke. The insurants j swatted him that day and refused to have anything to do with the so-called “hog combine”, only to chime in at Durham the following Thursday and vote with the Brahamites at every turn. Over at Durham Thursday the “hog combine” steam-rollered Marion But ler and his organization plan. When he spoke of the “slimy snake of fed eral patronage” it was only by grace of Johnson J. Hayes and James J. Britt that the convention heard him at all. The delegates wanted to howl him down and Butler told them to go home to draw their salaries. No man at the convention more than Butler knew that the federal patron age clique was in control. It is a mighty fine instrument through which to build up a Republican machine in North Carolina or in any other Southern State. When Buvier put his proposition to the convention to change the or ganization he was voted down by 765 to 205, and the convention adopted a plan increasing the number of the State executive committee to 40 members, elected by the' Congression al election. Brownlow Jackson, United States marshal for the Western North Caro lina district, was named chairman of the State executive committee. Jack son is a “regular.” He is not a But ler man. J. J, Britt, of Asheville, chairman of the Durham convention, was selected to run for Chief Justice of North Carolina. J. J. Jenkins, of Siler City,'a man who had been men tioned for State chairman/, was nom inated for Corporation Commissioner. Herbert Seawell, of Carthage, and H. R. Starbuck, of Winston-Salem, were the nominees of the convention to run for associate justices of the Su preme court.
