BDERfA%ifQN IEN OF COURA1E Y Peetig Aid from Govern. nt. Warning from Dial. Hugh W. 'Itberts in The State ashington, April 29.-This country a men not 'laws, according to Sen N. -.. Dial of South Carolina. en of two types are needed, he de.. e--one In public '11fe who has cient courage to turn down 'Peti s for pensions in favor of able led soldiers, and another .with suf ent courage to earn a living with t crying to the government for as stance. The situation has - become serious, ording to the senator. After point g out that the average pension now aid by the government amounts to 443.13, whereas in 19.17 it amounted o only $242, and .predicting that the reposed .bonus would cost the: goy rnment approximately $1,000,000,000, enator Dial said: "I was in South Carolina the other day. One member of the legislaturo from my county Is a blind man, the only' blind member of that body. He has served my county well for the last two years. He announced ithe other day that 'lie -was a candidate 'again, and I 'was struck by his an nouncement.' 4ie said he wanted the 'people to vote for him on his merits and because he had served .them to . The best of his ability, and he said further in that announcement that he did not iwant a siglo vote through sympathy. That is the kind of peo ple we need in this country. That is the kind. of. spirit that has made this country great. "I went on from the capital of .the state to my home town. The next day a poor fellow -came into my office. I have ;known him a long time. 'Ho is a hard working, honest man. Ile hob bled in, not on one crutdh 'but on two crutches, and yet he performs his daily duties, attends to his business, runs a 'little farm and makes a living. He is. a man of very limited means. He spoke to me about this 'legislation in 'Washington. His eye was clear, and 'he looked at me and said he thanked God every day of his life that he had never accepted charity from the people, notwithstanding his crip pied condition. "Wo need more of that spirit In this country. After a while ,we will have practically: a dependent population, people who have no more manhood than a sparrow, going around whining, asking for some public pap. We will destroy all' of the initiative, we .will destroy all of the ambition, we will destroy all of the Incentive of the American people that has made this country great since we founded it; and it does seem to me that senators, people who are (big enough to 'be elect ed to- the United States senate, ought to stop and remember that there is somebody else in this country besides the people who are forever knocking at the door of the treasury. "I do not believe it is so much those people who want this legislation as it Is some members of congress who act in fear, and want to dole money out of the public treasury. I do not believe that 5 'per cent 'of .the honest People of the 'United States 'would ajp Prove of -this kind of legislation, even in the states where they get a large 'proportion-'of it. I do not know how we are going to stop it. I confess that I am alarmed . - . 'I 'have thought *that 'pez'haps it would be necessary to amend the constitution. I have not studied the matter' from a legal standpoint, but I do not 'know now whether 'we are permitted uinder the *constitution to 'make many appro 'priations and donations that we do make. If we are not, the time 'has *come when some man should rise np in the United States and go to court and get an injunction against it; 'but If we are allowed to donate to every thing that comes along, and if 'we are not going to 'have a0 backobone and 'he manhood to say Wo,' 'then I do believe that. the people of this coun try iwill ris9 up and 'pass a constitu tional amendment 'wherdby we will be prohtbited from contributing the mon ey of the public In this way, and I would say, 'God speed the day.' "I 'have never, questioined ,the stabil. ity of tegoverrnment~ of the United States, 'that 'thought had never enter.. ed my mind until 10heIast few years. 'When I see the lexity wisth which we ~ drinster' our trust, 'I eafess that I n'ap getting a littler nervouse and I feel that unless we stapegreat disastorwll distte'the' prospei-ity of 'tih cotantry, Thr is 4 fawnq'e orietal. mayjpg. t#1ene. b~a ~ped B ti e ws z y LANFO1 NIS * iLanford, May 1,--Death has again mtered our midst and claimed the sweet eirlt of one much .beloved and respected by.
