write to their comrades thus:
"Comrader" JVe understand that sys
tematic and wilful perversion of Presi
dent Tatt's true attitude toward us are
twins; made hoc, those who seek malici
ously and falsely to misrepresent him.
These attacks are crossly unjust Presi
dent Taft Is, and always has been, a
real friend of the soldier. If any soldier
doubts this, the following sentiment ex
pressed In President Taft's annual mes
sage to congress December f, ISM, should
at once dispel all doubt:
. "The uniform, policy of tha government
In the matter of granting pensions to
those gallant and devoted men who
fought to save the life ot the north In
the perilous days of the great civil war
has always been of the most liberal
character. These men are now- rapidly
parsing away. The, best obtainable offi
cial statistics show that they are drlng
at the rate ot something over 1,090 a
month, and. In view of their advancing
years, this rate must Inevitably, In pro
portion, rapidly Increase. To the man
who risked everything on tha field of
battle to save the nation In the hour of
It direst need, wa owe a debt which
has not been and should not be com
puted In a begrudging or parsimonious
spirit. But while we should be actu
ated by this spirit to the soldier himself,
care should be exorcised not to go to
absurd lengths, or distribute the bounty
of the government to vlaiojes of parsons
who may, at this late day, from a mere
mercenary motive, sevk to ohtsln some
letral relation with hn old veteran now
touerlng on tha brink ot the grave.
The true spirit of tha pension laws is to
be found In the noble sentiments ex
pressed by Mr. Lincoln In his last In
augural address, wherein. In speaking
of Uie nation's duty to Its soldiers when
the. KtruuKle should be over, he said we
should "care for - him 'who shall have
bvrtie the battle, and fur his widow
gad orphans.' " ConKrvMloaal Record, Id
session, olst Cong., p. at)
'Uouid friendship be better expressed
than In. the words of President .Taft to
the ma,n who risked everything on the
field of battle to save tha nation in the
hour ot Its direst need, we owe a debt
which hag not, beep and should not be
computed In a begrudging or parsimon
ious spirit,' and should not this sentiment
touch a responsive chord in tha breast
of every one of our comrades?
"President Taft now, with all the vigor
and foroe of hie great legal mind. Is con
tending for that noble form of govern
ment established . by , our forefathers
against those whoea pernicious doctrines
would tend to destroy it, no less cour
ageously, than we fought on many a
battlefield to preserve the union and con
stitutional government. We believed that
the government of tha people as estab
lished by Washington. Franklin, Hamil
ton and other wise statesmen stio'iild not
perish from the earth; that the framere
of our constitution were not mistaken,
and that our reprefentatlva system of
gavetnment , was devised as wiely, as
human Jbelngs could devise It, and should
ba maintained. In. no lesa degree, but
by. .the forte of., logic rather than' the
appeal. to arms, in President Taft seeking
to maintain the principle for which we
(ought, end personal Interest temporarily
In .the background, wa should rally to
the call of . President Taft and combat
with him those who seek to overthrow
our established form of govern net Just
as wa ranted to the call of Lincoln la
