Morgan of Louisiana in a recent speech In our war with Spain proper we lost 293 men all told. About 38,000 soldiers actually participated and 29,000 of them already draw pensions totalling, since the war to date, $50,000,000. To civil war nsions Uncle Sam has handed out 4, 9,030,192. All the revolutionary war pensions we have ever paid aggregate $70,000,000. Mr, Morgan declares that most of this business has been “worked tp” by pro fessional pension agents To those _" we have paid in 10 years, $4,451, . The expenses of the pension bureau for the past 11 years have aggregated over $30,000,000. The pension proposition is a delicate subject to handle. Everybody wants to do full justice to those men, and their dependents, who fought for their coun- try. But that the pension industry has fesolved itself into a huge graft upon which a host of unscrupulous harpies thrive at the expense of the taxpayers fis strongly suspected. Yet the average Congressman dares not even mention a fevision of the pension rolls out loud. Some day, maybe, we will get>a con- gress with the nerve to tackle the job in earnest. Welcome to Our Midst! H; JOY!

More jobs than men! So The Star, with a joyful little prayer of thanks- giving, printed the fact Within a half hour after The Star ap- peared on the streets those half hundred jobs were gone. Fifty jobs were taken in 15 minutes. And The Star got 50 tele- phone inquiries for “all those jobs you're talking about.” And now the thing seems to be just about the way it has been all along The jobs were there, all right, as The Star said. Only it seemed the jobs and the job-seekers hadn't been able to make connections before It is rather a cheering thought, tho, that 50 jobs can get piled up in Seattle all at the same time, isn’t it? Times ARE getting better, any time that can happen. And if, after all, there aren’t jobs right now for everybody, there is every indica- tion, according to the men who put up for the payrolls—the men who MAKE the jobs—that it is going to get steadily bet- ter from now on, So, even the disappointed ones can squeeze a bit of hope out of the affair. Clergical Treason AS ‘OTED English divine” comes to the front with the startling state- ment that God caused the awful war in Europe.
