l World’s Fair, St. Louis,
NEW YORK. Sept. 15.—The Parker
Constitution Club of New York Issued
today the following:
This report does not deal with, or In
any way question, the wisdom or pro
priety of the pension laws of the Uni
ted States; and it assumes the right
and duty of congress to enact a system
of pensions. The report Is the first
of a series dwelling on specific acts of
President Roosevelt out of which has
grown the accusation against him of
unconstitutional conduct. The general
Inquiry Is as to the propriety of his
conduct wheQ measured by the consti
tutional standard, and ills action In the
pension matter is the Instance now up
for discussion.
The order in question was Issued on
March 15, 1904, about three months
before his nomination. The pertinent
part is as follows:
’’Ordered. (1) In the adjudication of
pension claims under sold act of .Tune
27, 1890, as amended, it shall be taken
and considered as an evidential fact,
if the contrary does not appear, and If
all other legal requirements are proper
ly met, that, when a clalmnnt has
passed the age of 62 years, he Is dls
abled one-half In ability* to perform
manual labor, and is entitled to be
rated at six dollars per month; after
66 years, at eight dollars per month;
after 68 years, at ten dollars per
month; and after 70 years, at twelve
dollars per month.”
The full text of the order is append
ed.
That an executive act of the pres
ldent Is unconstitutional where au
thorlty for It cannot be found stated In
the United States Constitution, Is not
to be disputed. On that head we need
only refer the reader to our prellml
iva. United States (reported In 12 Peters,
asserted for Issuing the order In ques
tlon is the clause In Article II., Sec
tion 3. which provides that the presl
dent "shall take care that the law
he faithfully executed.” Of this clause
the supreme court of the United States,
which Is the authority to construe the
constitution, said in the case of Kendal
vs. United State (reported In 12 Peters,
524), that: “To contend that the obli
gation Imposed on the President to see
the laws faithfully executed, Implies
a power to forbid their execution,
a novel construction of the constitu
tion, and entirely Inadmissible.” This
Is but a Judicial statement of what In
common sense. If, under the guise of
carrying out a statute of congress,Pres
ldent Roosevelt nullifies one of its pro
visions, he Is guilty on the charge.
The order In question Is practically
an announcement that the department
will give a pension certificate to every
applicant 62 years old. Such was the
evident Intention of the executive ns
It Is beyond Intelligent supposition thnt
anybody 62 years old who applied for
a pension would trouble the depart
ment with affirmative proof that he
was not disabled. Hence the question
of the constitutionality of tho pres
ident’s act depends upon whether tho
statute of congress granted pensions
because a man was 62. If not, the order
becomes a faithless departure from the
law Instead of a faithful execution of

His Condition Had Been Thought
Hopeless—His Recovery a Great
W() nder— Some Details Given
by Himself.
Mr Kennev has actually escaped
from the paralytic’s fate to which he
seemed a short time since hopelessly
doomed. The surprising report has
been fully verified and some Important
details secured in a personal Interview
lth the recent sufferer.
’The doctor,” said Mr. Kenney, "told
me that If I wanted to live any length
of time I would have to give up work
altogether, and he told my friends that
the paralysis which had begun would
In time involve my whole body.”
•Just, how were you afflicted at this
time?" Mr. Kenney was asked.
'Well, I had first hot. and then cold
and clammy feelings, and at times my
body felt ns it needles were being
stuck Into It Theso sensations were
followed by terrible pains, and aguln 1
would have no feeling at all. but a
numbness would come over me, and I
rould not be able to move. The most
agonizing torture came from head
aches and a pain in the region of my
spine.”
"Were you able to sleep?”
"No. That wns one of the worst
features of my case. Night after night
I could not get any natural sleep nad
my system was wrecked by the strain
of the torturing pains and the effect of
the opintes I was forced to take to in
duce sleep. As I look back on the ter
rible suffering I endured during this
period I often wonder how I retained
my reason through It all.”
"Have you got rid of nil these trou
hies?”
'Yes, Indeed, I am entirely rid of
them, nnd am dally working at my
trade as a hat finisher, but relief came
from nn unexpected quarter. My help
came from Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for
Pale People. I rend one day In your
paper un account of a case like mine,
which had been cured by these wonder
ful pills for the blood nnd nerves,
bought a box nnd begnn to tnko them.
The very first box seemed to help me,
and seven boxes made me entirely
well. There can be no doubt about tho
thoroughness of my cure, for I havo
worked steadily ever since, nnd that Is
nearly four years."
Mr. Kenney Is at present employed
by the Merrlmac Hat Company nnd
resides at 101 Aubln street, Amesbury.
Mass. The remedy which he used with
such satisfactory results, Is sold by all
druggists throughout the world, and
Is offered as a specific for all nervous
troubles. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
have cured neuralgia, nervous pros
tration. St. Vitus’ dance, partial par
alysis and locomotor ataxia, as well ns
common ailments such as headaches,
Insomnia nnd debility.
Grand Army, when
president for what Tv
urged his hearers to ui
that a law might be passed to the same
effect.
To consider next the extent of thlf
executive usurpation. Almost every
veteran of the Civil War Is today at
least 62 years old. T^a very last will
become so within the next four cr five
years. The actual effect of the order
has been to appropriate at least $72
per annum of tho nation's money to
every human being who was connected
with a regiment for three months In
the Civil War. The total amount It
will never be possible to measure In
exact dollars and cents. Figure up the
number of men now living who were
connected with the nrmy or navy for
ninety days In the Civil War and who
are not disabled, give each of them $72
n year as a minimum, of $144 a y
n maximum, and we have the sum
total. Kstlmtes have been made nt
$12,000,000 per annum. The Pension
Commissioner has Insisted that $5.-
400,000 per annum will be a more ap
proximate figure. It seemii that there
are about 182.000 survivors of the
fiot on the pension rolls prior to this
executive order. If all these were to
be placed on the rolls, the result would
be about $16,000,000 per annum. I
the chosen representatives of the Uni
ted Stutes In congress assembled had
desired to appropriate fifteen million
dollars per ftnnum. or any other sum,to
such n class of pensioners—men cx
sctly as well able to earn their living
as anybody else 62 years of nge—that
was their right. It was not the presi
dent’s.
In this aspect of the esse, President
Roosevelt deliberately disregarded Ar
ticle 1, Section 9 of the ronsttutlon,
providing: “No money shall he drawn
from the treasury but in consequence
of appropriations mnde by law.” When
congress appropriates money for ihe
payment of pensions, It provides for
pensioners who have been placed on
the rolls "under the provisions of any
nnd all acts of congress." The presi
dent is prohibited from authorising a
dollar to be paid out of such appro
priation except to a pensioner created
by law.

The following extract from the
statutes In point will he clear to every
one. We append to our report the full
text of the statutes, to show tho accu
racy and fairness of our extracts, ns
tn a matter of this Importance nothing
is to be taken for granted.
On January 29, 1887, congress had
enacted as follows, regarding pensions
for those In the Mexican war:
'Section 1. That the secretary of
the interior be and he la hereby au- ■
thnrlxed and directed to place on the
pension rolls the names o? the sur
viving officers nnd enlisted men *
• • who being duly enlisted actually
served sixty days • * * In Mexico,
• • • In ths war with that nation,
or were actually engaged In a battle
In said war • • • provided that.
every such officer, enlisted man • •
• who Is or may become slxty-two
years of age or who Is or may become
subject to any disability or dependency
equivalent to some cause prescribed
or recognized by the pension laws of
the United States as a sufficient rea
son for the allowance of a pension,
shall be entitled to the benefits of this
act.”
"Section 3. That before the name
of any person shall be placed on the
pension roll under this act, proof shall
be made under such rules and regula
tions as the secretary of the Interior
may prescribe of the right of the ap
plicant to a pension”
By this act, congress. In express
terms, pensioned every survivor of the
Mexican war either 62 years old or
disabled. It was passed Just thlrty-
nlno years after that war was con
cluded. Every soldier who was at least
23 years old when the war ended, was
thus expressly within Its terms, and
was intended so to be. Within five
years alter the act had taken effect
every soldier of the war was within Its
terms, whether disabled or not. be
cause he must have "become slxty-
two years of age.”
Three years after this statute, con
gress passed a statute relating to the
civil war. which Is the act mentioned
In President Roosevelt’s executive or
der. It provided.
"That all persons who served ninety
days or more in the military or naval
service of the United HUtes during the
late war of the rebellion and who have
been honorably discharged therefrom,
and who are now or who may hereaf
ter be suffering from any mental or
physical disability or disabilities of a
permanent character, not the result of
their own vicious habits, which so In
capacitates them from ths perform
snee of manual labor as to render
them unable to earn a support, shall
upon making due proof of the fact, ac-
'*>rdlng to such rules and regulations
ss the secrets ry of the Interior may
provide, b* placed upon the list of In
valid pensioners of the United Rtstes,
and be entitled to receive a pension
not exceeding twelve dollars per
month, proportioned to the degree of
Inability to earn a support,”
Observe the difference between the
two statu***-. Regarding the Mexican
congit** pr«*>.r;cnd that anyone
who wns 62 years old or disabled,
should receive n pension. In regard to
the civil war, congress proscribed thnt
any one who was so permanently dis
abled ns to render him unable to earn
support by the performance of mnnunl
labor, should receive a pension; but
no pension was granted for age.
Fourteen yenrs hfter the civil war
statue was passed.;tf^o president's pen
sion orde)* was Issued from the office
of tho secretary of the Interior. The
period thnt had then .elapsed after the
civil war wns about the same ns the
period elapsed after the Mexican war
when congress gave a pension for nge
to nurvlvors of that war. The time
had arrived for congress to do the
same thing, If such wns the will of
congress, for survivors of tho civil war.
Not such statue was enacted. Never
theless, the president by nn executive
order, fedlherately and arbitrarily aub-
stltuted the terms of the Mexican war
for the terms of the civil war
act, when the two were diametrically
different upon the statue hooka of the
United States. His order nullified the
requirement of Incapacity, exprossly
placed by congTesa In the civil war
statute, except so fnr ns It relates to
men under 62. Without further discus
sion It becomes manifest thnt this wns
an Intentlonnl departure from the law,
nnd thnt the charge should be sus
tained.
Much ha* appeared In the public
prints about the order of the pension
bureau Issued under Mr. Cleveland*
administration. This order prescribed
75 years of age. We need not discuss
the question whether thnt order was
justifiable; certainly It wns unimpor
tant. The difference between thnt or
der and the later one. for which It
serves as an excuse. Is that the former
was In accordance with common knowl
edge. while the latter was both against
common knowledge nnd against the
construction which congress had put
upon 1st own acts. At 62 a man may
be. and usually Is. able to perform
manual labor; at 75 he Is not. And
congress had recognised the former
fact when In the Mexican war statue
It gave a pension to men either 62 or
disabled. The first order may be Justi
fied as a legitimate rule of evidence
for the convenience of the department,
and within the scope of the statue. The
second was the creation of a new class
of pensioners, whom congress had not
pensioned.
The usurpation of legislative power
by President Roosevelt Is humorously
