Editor of The'Courler: ( ' The following communication was sent some time ago the The Oregon Ian, but that paper declined to pub lish it The reasons for so doing are sufficiently obvious. The attitude of the Oregonlan towards the old sold iers of the Civil War is well known; but when a paper professing to ad vocate the principles of the party of Lincoln and Grant characterizes 'as "disappointed parasites and hungry rogues' 'the men who gave the best of their lives to make this nation what it Is, it seems to us that a re buke is overdue. ' "The Editor of The Oregonlan: In your Issue of February 18th, there appeared the following: 'The rumor that Mr. Taft will veto the Sulloway pension bill Is almost too good to be true. This scandalous bill would cost the taxpayers at least $45,000,000 a year, Should Mr. Taft veto It he would strengthen him self immensely with the country, though, of course, th disappointed parasites and hungry rogues would iowl.,M. That anything like the foregoing ihould have been written seriously jeems almost Incredible. Having been written, to let It pass unchal lenged would be a crime. Fifty years ago those who are today char acterized as "disappointed parasites and hungry rogues" were the flower of the youth of our land. From farm, store, workshop and college they vent at the call of the coun try. Their money compensation was from $13 to $16 per month, paper, worth at times less than fifty cents on the dollar. They underwent hard ships that cannot be expressed iu language. At the end of four years they came home to find their places filled by those who had Improved the opportunity of their country's need to lay the foundations of the great fortunes that have given us the true 'parasite," the Idle rich of today. Few had either the courage or means to take up their abandoned studies to prepare themselves tar a profes sion, so they entered the race of life handicapped. The character of the men was 6hown in the fact that two millions or more were absorbed in the population without causing any disturbance. Now when it la pro posed to make their old age a little less bitter the question of cost la made paramount. Is that fair? Greece kept alive the spirit of pat riotism by honoring those who sac rificed for the country. What will be tne effect on the future of our land If our youth are taught to look upon the old soldiers of our great war A3 "parasites" and "rogues?" (Was it not Judas Iscarlot who crowned himself with infamy be cause he made the money question paramount?) Let us look at it from another point of view: By tho graco of congressman a young man Is adlm.lt- ted to West Point or Annapolis. He is educated, fed and clothed at the expense of tho governments At the end of four years he is given a good Please reproduce the paragraph to which we have referred, and, in a parallel column, Lincoln's Gettys burg address.

NEWCOMER SEES GREAT FUTURE FOR THIS CITY 0$ Promotes Social J Life NO one watches current events more" closolv than the farmer. His Bell Service keeps him in touch with the outside world. The 11. F.

MAILS It looks like money to me," says a stranger from the middle west looking over the city yesterday. This man believes in Grants Pass. He believes, as do many others, that Grants Pass will have a population of 25,000 in a very few years. He believes that this population will be divided between the nofth and soutn banks of the river. He expressed the opinion that it would be impos sible that only one side of a beauti ful river such as we have should be occupied. He said that no doubt a large town would grow on the south bank, the new railroad addi tion, and In time would be incor porated Into and become a part of Grant pass. The river will be span ned by bridges and easy access will be had from one side to the other. "No doubt you will have beautiful parks and promenade grounds along the river frontage and recreation places in the hills whlcli surround the town. I can only say that I am most highly Impressed with your town and country and believe It has a great future. The building of the new railroad will prove a very im portant factor In the growth of your city and other enterprises will sure ly follow, being assured of transpor tation facilities, which are very neces sary to successful business operation. expect to return in the very near future and Invest some money In your town. I can not believe other than that your people are ot the en terprising kind. You surely believe, when you do a thing, to do well, and your principal street would be a credit to a much larger city. There Is no reason why Southern Oregon should not have a city of 40,000 to 50,000 people and Grants Pass has the Lppearance of being the logical location. . Sooner or later, you will have a railroad to the coast and it Is not unreasonable to believe that the company now building has the coast as an objective point. The signs all read that way and no doubt the coming summer will bring such announcement. It this should prove true, then Grants Pass will be a iarge city In a very few years. "I am sorry that my business in terests are such that I can not re main longer, but I will return again in the near future when I will have moro time to see the country around your city. Your climate la Just be yond description. My admiration Is beyond words." PORTLAND, Mar. 22. Uncle Sam will pay the railroads ot the United States $50,000,000 this year tor car rying the mails an advance ot $5, 000,000 over any previous figure. The new postal law, copies ot which have been received by postofflcea of flcials In Portland, shows the appro priation ot the United States for car rying of the mails by the railroad lines to be $50,092,200, of which about $49,000,000 will be available on July 1 ot this year. The wooden mall cars will have to go out of Commission soon, however, unless what may be a Joker In the new postal law kills the Intent, ot the department. The law provides that after July 1 no wooden cars ex cepting those opproved by the post master general can be operated In trains where the majority of the cars are steel or of steel undername, or between the locomotive and and steel frame car.

Again, a president or a great general dies and congress Immedi ately pensions the widow at the rate of $5,000 a year, and there la no cry of "parasite!" In Europe the great nations are moving toward an old age pension, and In our own land the great cor porations are considering the advis ability of pensioning their old and worn-out employes. If we mistake not The Oregonlan favors that policy, and we have seen no Intimation that such pensioners should be classed with tho "parasites." Our great president, Lincoln, wrote a letter that has become clas sic to that nfother who laid her five sons, her all, on the .altar of the country. Were that mother now living and receiving a peslon from the government she also would be one of the "parasites." Every officer in the regular army Is pensioned at the age of 63; why not the common soldier who sacrific ed his career In the time of Ms coun try's peril? Are we still In the age when the over-lord owned the vas sal and clussed him with tho cattle? We have today men who laid the foundations of tholr great fortunes upon the sacrifices of those who arc In poverty, and some of thee wealthy om s could almost pay Individually what the Sulloway bill and not miss It from their yearly Income These, not the decrepit soldier, arc the true parasites, the real menace to our nation.
