Yours truly, JANUARY 3, 1909. CHurcitan, Still More About It To tHe Epitor oF Lire: Sir:—In re a letter from Mr. J. S. Clark, of Bluefield, W. Va. dated December 12, 1908, regarding “Divorce and the Catholic Church.” The writer has always found Lire fair-minded, and wishes to call attention to the fact that as Mr. Clark states the priests of the Roman Catho- lic Church were allowed to marry at one time, and at this time marriage is still allowed in a certain district, and a priest sent from there to Pennsylvania not very long ago was refused ad mission to the house of the bishop of the diocese, when it was discovered that the aforesaid priest was a married man. The writer is also acquainted personally with two couples where divorces weré granted by the courts of the State of New York and the Pope of Rome lent his sanction. Just what the Pope had to do with these cases has never been apparent to the writer, but our courts had certainly jurisdiction. Very truly, Joux S. Witrtmore. Auaxy, N. Y., January 4, 1909. Pensions To tHe Epitor or Lire: —Your comment on the increase of peo: ounting to nearly $30,000,000 during the r past, leaves out of consideration two, vital 1 is certainly a great force, when for fter, one hundred and seventy-five ar have to be spent on people who some one or other may be, supposes had some- thing to do with it.”” The increase does not come from survivors of the War of the Rebellion “forty years after,” but from soldiers of the Spanish-American War, and of the almost continuous warfare since in the Philippines. This little city sent out ore company during the Spanish-American War. Its entire experience was confined to peaceful camps in Obio, Virginia and Pennsylvania, and yet I am told by a pension attorney that more than s0 per cent. of its members are now re ceiving pensions. Horrible, indeed, must be the ravages of camp life! If a similar condition exists all over the country, the increased pensions expenditure may be readily accounted for without reference to the veterans who fought under Grant, Logan, Shet- man and Sheridan.
