I had just finished reading about the 'Coming Hace,"
For my ili-cam Uullvvcr's slory will make a pood preface.
I cannot give tin' details, nor ran I correctly ipiole,
lint will give you a brief outline of the story Hullwer wrote
'About, a curious people living many miles below
This crust of earth we live on, and proudly think we know
All about its ponderable, imponderable, gravity, electricity,
Will power, mind force, hypnotism, all explained so
explicitly.
Hut these people will know far more; these seeds of the coin
ing race.
Whose roots are clinched within the rocks, will sprout and
take our place.
When our world has turned a somersault, when the North
Pole has gone soul h,
When the .North Star is lost, and the earth is suffering drouth,
When the dying moon is dead, and tin? sun is bid from sight,
Then Ibis people will come forth and make electric light,
To grow their grain and flowers, "and there shall be. no more

They wili make light from their cosmos (another name for
space),
Or from radium the sun lost when In; changed his dwelling

They will have no use for horses, aulos, areoplanes and such
I hings
For when the wish to travel they will put. on a pair of wings.
'J'hey will lake their cane called Vrill-slick, and under each
strong arm
They will have a storage ballery, which can do both good and
barm.
Through this Vrill-slick I hey can generate tremendous force
of will,
I'.ring joyous strength and health or painlessly can kill.
As half asleep I lay, lost in deepest meditation
On the wondrous thing called life anil the mystery of
creal ion.
The breath of (iod in all live things, the same as in you
and me,
If Jules erne and Hullwer l.ilon had the gift of prophesy?
If I here was within Karl If s "mother breast" the embryo of

With a pair of wings and a Vrill-slick grasped lirmly in my

The conductor answered briefly; "Messengers of Santa

I waved my Vrill-slick grandly; you can go, but I wish to

M.V. Speaker, on the tdlh day of
last January Ihe House of Repre
sentatives as then constituted,
passed by a vole of 212 lo (2 the
measure then pending and known
as the Sulloway bill. I voted for
thai bill because f was anxious to
sec some legislation euacled that
would assuage to some degree at
least the constantly increasing
suffering of the obi soldiers, who
numbered then a little less than
GOO.non, and who are rapidly pass
ing from our midst. I say, Mr.
Speaker, that I voted for that, bill
and urged its passage. After
passing the House that bill was
sent to the Senate, and after a
long delay in that body it dually
failed lo come to a vole. I regret
led thai only opportunity for
granting relief to Ihe old soldiers
was not improved by the Senate.
I desire lo say Ilia! long before Ihe
Sulloway bill came before Ibis
body in Ihe last Congress I took
occasion, when the naval appro
priation was under consideration,
lo submit lo the House some re
marks upon the advisability and
even the necessity of appropria
ting less money for battleships,
and, i list rail, adopt a more liberal
pension system for Ihe men who
made it possible for us lo live to
day as one united people under
the same (lag. I closed my re
marks at that time with these
words :
f conceive it to be a great
sacred duly of this Nation to
properly care for these few
survivors of our Nation's he
roic men, and for their wi
dows, minor children, and de
pendent relatives. This is a
duty we cannol postpone. It
should be discharged faith
fully and liberally while yet
there is time for a grateful
Nation to acknowledge our
last ing ohligal ion to those
men and women the fruits of
whose heroic sacrifices we of
to-day are so bounteously en
joying. Mr. Speaker, my position on the
tpiestion of liberal pensions as ex
pressed in that speech has not
been changed. I am even more
concerned now that we do our full
duly in pension legislation, he
cause my own party is in control
of this Mouse and must be held re
sponsible for what we fail to do
here as well as what wo do. When
I voted last January for the Sul-
plumdimc!
EE:
in last Congress, because I believe j
Ibis bill has the same essential
purpose, namely, lo give more lib
eral pensions to those veteran
soldiers still liv ing, most of whom
are drawing only small pensions.
I am convinced that this measure,
when finally passed by this House
and I hope there is no doubt
about its passage will be such a
bill as to receive the approval of
practically all the members of
both parlies. As f view this mai
ler, it is not and .should not be
come a polil ical ippiesl ion.
1 am confident that every mem
ber of this House will agree that
as a mailer of simple justice our
present pension laws are inade
quate. I do nol (jiiesl ion I be hon
esty nor the patriotism of any
man who is inclined to criticize
the policy of increasing the pen
sion roils, i ins or anv oi 'icr jim
measure must necessarily call for
larger appropriations each year.
Some may hesitate lo carry any
further our policy of granting
pensions to the old soldiers, but
Mr. Chairman, I am one of those
who believe that we can belter
a fiord to appropriate money lopay
our moral ohligal ions to Hie men
who fought our past wars than to
vole armies and great, navies for
Ihe purpose of inviting and carry
ing on new contests. YVe are a
Nat ion of progress, and let us
hope that our advance will con
tinue in peace and prosperity, not
by war and compiest. In our ef
forts to build a greater Nation we
should not forget Ihe elements
ami the forces which contributed
so much to the preservation of
the 1'nion itself. We all rejoice

in its place there is growing in
Ihe hearts of the rising generation j
a consciousness of a bright fu-l

Ihe words of Webster, a Union

forget Ihe bitterness and the en
mities of the past our efforts are
indeed laudable. Hut let us hope
thai we shall not as a Nation for

and Ihe patriotism of those who
left their profefssions, their
trades, their businesses, their
farms, their homes and their lov
ed ones in order that Ihey might
offer themselves as a sacrifice, if
need be, upon Ihe altar of their
country and in defense of the Un
ion. It may be objected that this
proposed pension legislation will
take from the treasury millions of
dollars annually. I call your at
tention to the fact that not once
have I heard it objected that this
proposed increase in the pensions
is not well deserved by those in
whose behalf it is made. No one
has yet ventured lo say that these
battle-scarred veterans have been
overpaid for the great service
they rendered in I lie dark days of
mr national life. They went forth
without promise of reward. They
asked for no contract from the
Government to reimburse them
for the loss of limb or life. No
indemnity bond was given to Ihe
brave men who answered Ihe call
of their country. Thoughtless of
themselves and their families,
Ihey willingly gave their highest
service to the cause in which they
fought. It mattered not lo them
whether patriotism demanded a
limb from some, sight from oth
ers, sickness and disease from
still others, or even death itself of
all who volunteered their service.
Can such a service be estimated
in dollars and cents?, Does such
service justify an attitude of in
difference today on the part of
