mind is a disgrace for both the Ter
ritory and the applicant; for ii
seems to us that if the Territory i
unable to pay such allowance to an
applicant who is legally entitled to
receive the same it were better that
fhe said Pension Law had never
r>cen enacted.
On the other hand, for the Terri
tory to inform the relatives of an
applicant for a pension of his being
iestitute and lacking in money or
oropcrtv sufficient to afford him a
livelihood in the Territory where he
has spent from 15 to 25 years of his
rest strength and effort, and that
he ho.- been too unfortunate In his
occupation to lay aside anything
'or his old age, it seems to us th *t
nothing in the world would make
he aDnlic^nt for a, oension feel
worse than to have his relatives
know of his condition, and when d
is the Territorv th^t informs them
of tlie apn’icant’s destitution unov
his applying for a pension. it i
like the Bible says: “Who is it of
you -when vour IvotlifT ask von for
bread that vou would give him a
ct me/'” For a. stone it wou’ei he if
■he medy were turned over bv the
Ter c* -ry to then* relatives for
•hariiv as it is e-i v a gainst tim
■rain o" human nature, and there,
is a chance that the needy ana may
'all cut with his relatives before
hie d” is over and be toH to go. j
which would then leave him worse !
off than before. If the Legisla- !
ure should repeal or amend that
‘‘art or clan a of the Pension Law
icgarding the appeal for suppon lo
then relatives by a person applying
ior a pension and grant them the
allowance from the Territory they
are entitled to, tney, with that littie

the Territory wouldbe of some val
ue to the Territory as old time pros
pectors, and be happy in the hope
that they may yet strike something.
We oe'ie’"' th°t this change ■
the law would cause a great mai \
who are now in the Pioneer Hoivn
to leave there, which would be
cheaper for the Territorv tlm^
keeping them in the Home. Of
