EDITORIAL PAGE
In this congress, as in congresses
for the past few decades, measures
w'.ll be urged for the pensioning of
ex-presiuonis. As in the past, those
who have opposed the pensioning of
soldiers' widows and orphans, will
b* prominent in urging pensions for
tho?e who' least in the world need
pensions, because the very capabil-]
ities whicn enable men to become;
presidents, place them in a pre
eminently self supporting position.
We believe that any person who
would accept a pension, unless in
the service of the public, he has
been deprived of capacities for con
tinuing to procure an income equal
to that obtained prior to entering
public service, has a yellow streak
in him akin to a hobo, who would
live off private charity, without ren- j
deritig an equivalent in labor for
the beueflts he receives.
It is not the giving of a pension
that is demoraliilng, but the receiv
ing of public charity, that shows the
quality of a man. We believe that
it is an insult to offer a healthy,
brainy, normal man, a pension, and
we believe rhat a healthy, brainy,
normal man will never accept one
It is as degenarating to undeserved- !
ly live off public charity as It Is to
undeservedly live off private charity
There is no more reason for pen- 1
sioning an ex-president than there
is for pensioning an ex-congress
man and so on down the line to an
ex-dog catcher, unless they have
done some service which lessens
their earnin capacity. In that
case they have created a debt which
the public owes them, and are en
titled to recompense and payment to '
the uttermost farthing.

A SYMBOL OF FREEDOM.
Tbe Liberty Cap Dates A * ay 3j;k to
Early G^ees Times.
From very early tliuc- >ne of the ill*
tlngnlshlng marks of a slave, loth in !
Greece and oriental < o intries general
It. was the lack of a.iy covering for
the head. Accordingly the cap came to
be considered the lu<.i>.;da of liherty.
and when slaves were given their free
dom tbey were presented with a cap
as an emblem of It.
In Sparta tlie helots wore a cap of
dogskin, ami this was reckoned a
badge of servitude, but upon gaining
their freedom this was replaced by a
cai> of a different material, of another
shape ami ornamented with flower*.
A similar custom was observed In
Rome. ? here the presentation of the
plleus, or cap, was always a part of
the ceremony of manumitting a slave;
hence arose the proverb. "Servos ail
plleum v oca re."
Also on medals the cap Is the symbol
of liberty and Is unsually represented
as being held in the right hand by the
point When a cap was exposed to the
people's view on the top of a spear, as
in the case of the conspiracy against
Caesar, It was Intended as a public In
vitation to them to embrace the liberty
that was offered them.
The Goddess of Liberty on Mount
Aventlne was represented as holding
a cap In her hand as a symbol of free
dom. The Jacobins wore a red cap
during the French revolution, and In
England a blue cap with a white bor
der Is used as a symbol of liberty.
The custom which prevails among
university students of wearing a cap
Is said to have had Its origin In a wish
to signify that the wearers had acquir
ed full liberty and were no longer inf
lect to the rod of their superiors.
Ths Bird of Death.
In New Guinea there Is said to be a
venomous bird called the bird of death.
It Is about the slxe of a pigeon, with a
tall of extraordinary length ending In
a tip of brilliant scarlet. It has a
sharp, hooked beak and frequents
marshes and stagnant poo's. The ven
om with which It Inoculates Is dis
tilled In a set of organs which lie in
the upper mandible. Just below the
opening-* of the nostrils. Under them.
In the roof of the mouth. Is a small
fleshy knob When the bird sets Its
beak In the flesh of a victim this knob
receives a pressure which liberates the
Tenotti and Inoculates the wound.
Baby SaaU
Raby seals are at first snow white,
which makes them Invisible on the
white lee on which they are born.
Their eyes and nose* arc, however,
black, anil when the little ones are
suddenly alarmed they close their eyes,
bury their noses and lie quite still. It
Is only when they (trow and begin to
seek their own food that they become
dark and sleek.
