Dr. C. A. Vcditz Says Deserving,
Starving Veteran Idea Is
Nonsense.
Washington, March 21. ?Chhrncterl'J-'
ine in" pension laws i>r t<i? - United
States as a gigantic farce, so far as
Federal economics are eoncorned, that
is nurtured by a false sentiment roach
'ng from one end of Um country u
another, Dr. C. A. Vodltz. ? member bl
lh" tariff board and professor a I
sociology of H>e George Washington
University, placed himself on record
at the weekly educational lecture last
high) before the local chapter of the
American institute of Banking as fav ?
orlng Immediate retrenchment of the
pension fund. ?
"The $1.815,000,0110 paid out in pen- '
lions .'due.: the llrst pension law was
'mauled is nearly onc-luilf the total
amount expended for the maintenance
of the army and navy and the cost or
all wars this country has boon engag-I
cd in,'1 declared Dr. Vcditz. 'The. tig- |
it res' an: astounding.
For every ease of a deserving voter- j
an?men that have really smelt pow- !
dor ami know the sting of an enemy's
bullet?there are probably live draw
lug pension money from generous^ am - ,
iable Uncle Sam who never soiled a '
Uniform or rammed home a eurtrldgc.
11 is this class of "veterans' the coun?
try is carrying on Its pension rolls
and burdening the country with mil - .
lions of dollars annually for pocket :
pittances.'' !
Culls idea Nooscnst.
"This deserving, starving', indigent !
veteran idea is nonsense and bosh. It
is political capita!. In the last speech i
of Speaker Cannon, favoring an in?
crease in tho pension rolls, he: painted
a. picture of pitiful, distressing need
among thousands of old men who do
fended the country In Its direst hours J
of troubles. F.vcn the statuary In tin ;
Capitol building wept with sympathy. I
As a mailer of fact, not 10 per cent
of those thousands of old men ovoi
knew what a battlefield looked like
federal pensions need an ImmcdUite
and thorough Investigation and a pat?
riotic, sensible legislator who will In?
troduce a bill demanding their reduc?
tion to a sane ami sensible basis."
Dr. Veditsc's reference to the Federal j
pension system came during the course <
of a lecture, on public revenues. Hol
mentioned the pension laws In con?
nection with an enumeration id' Fed?
eral sources of revenues and expendi?
tures. The major portion of his lec?
ture was devoted to an explanation of
direct and Indirect taxation, the latter
being preferable for raising public
revenues, ho declared, as it tended to
distribute the burden of taxation more
equitably. A largo audience, including
a number of local bunk officials, heard
the lecture.

! One of the Season's Hest.
' After last night il Is easy for one
who had never before seen Bllllc Burke
to understand the great vogue of thai
fascinating young woman. Pretty,
winning and winsome, she is tho most
charming of comediennes, and. In the
j few opportunities that were given bev
! to display the more serious side of her
art. she "was altogether convincing.
But, with the exception of a fc v
I scenes tho evening 'was one of comedy
?not 'knock-about, slap-stlck. rough
house, but well-written, well-staged,
well-acted light comedy. True, the
comedy of the exquisite little sketch ?
?'pastoral," the program has It?which
was put on as a ctirtnln-ralser. is
somewhat "akin In tears." but to those
who remember tho beauty of Anthony
Hopo'n "The Philosopher in tho Apple
Orchard,*' from which tho uct is ar?
ranged, tho half-hour that was de?
voted lo its presentation wan a thing
of pure delight. In the first place, tho
stage was exquisitely set. Thero wore
apple trees in full bloom; an old stout
wall, away up-stage; a wonderful car
pot of green grass, through which
sprang wild flowers?buttercups, ainl
daisies, and "ditu'y-down-dillies"?arid
over all tho sunshine glittered.

and honorable course is the happier j
one?for the woman and for him?and

so much of the ritory. but It Is also only
lair to say that, while the affair of tho
heart, with its "almost Inevitable eon
sequences," ia very freely and openly
explained; there is never an instant of
levity in its treatment; nothing funny,
nothing nttcjictivc or appealing, results
from its exposition; that this theme
has comparatively little to do with the
success or failure of tho play; und that
it is entirely free from insinuation or j
suggestion?to use a "bull." everything
that Is hinted is openly said, and with- j
out offousive words or mock-modesty.|
It is not a play for children. but
grown-ups will hardly object to It.

and in both parts, showed himself to be

English sort. George YV. An sou was
screamingly funnv as Boulcmans?a
comedian of the class of Dallas Wcll

Remarkable Christmas
Present.
Among the curious Christmas pres?
ents ofnhls year will be one for a man
of national reputation, which has been
all year in the making.
Way last January the present was
decided upon, and a friend of tho prom?
inent gentleman requeBtod the Borrel!?
Press Clipping Bureau, of New York,
to watch every pnper in America and
to take up every item which appeared
concerning the man.
The clipping bureau people followed
Instructions, and now pr?Bont the his?
tory of one year in the life of this
especial man.
The history ends just after election,
and the 20,642 newspaper items found
include everything from a three-Una
i editorial montlon to full-page Illus?
trated stories. These have been mount?
ed on 3,200 great sheets of Irish llnon
paper and bound into throe massiv?
volumes.
At the h&ad of each item is the nama
and date of paper clipped from, this
information having been put in with ft
book typewriter. The words thus In?
serted amount to 153.862.
In actual time, a very strict rccor*
of wnich has bean kept, th* work ha*
required sixty-four working days
throughout tho year, and has kept In.
employment during that time thirty
people, as readers, clippers, sorters,
mounters ond binders. Kvory newspa?
per of Importance lo represented.
This Is merely a specimen of some ef
the- tnlquo orders which get Into the'
Burrelle Buroac, for tho extent to
which cuppings are used by Individuals
and by buslne3S concerns seems to bo
remarkable.
There are muny people In private
well as in public life who need press
cllpp'r.gs and don't know it. It -rnlgh-t
be well for them to look up this man
Burrelle, who Is said to he so woll
known that a letter simply addressed
"Burrelle, New York," will r?ach hirtf
with no delay.
