The Adair County news., 1910-03-23

There were exciting times in
the National House of Repre-
sentatives last Saturday. The
Democrats and thirty-fve Re-
publicans ended the autocratic
ruling of Mr.. Cannon. The Rule
Committee, dominated by the
speaker, was wiped out of exist
ence. The House will now elect
a committee and Mr.. Cannon will
not be a member of it. 1t looks
now like "Uncle 10" is serving
his last term as Gar of Z e
House.

WE'D, MAR. %, 1910.

The Confederate pension bin,
passed by the Legislature, was
vetoed last week by Governor
Wilson. His reasons for so do
ing, as stated, was on account of
the financial condition of the
State. Whether he is right or
wrong in his position, whether
honest or feigning honesty in his
good will to Confederate soldiers
and his apparent Zealousness to
the welfare Of the State Treasury,
is not for us to say, but all the
same, we have our opinion. We
have heard the statement made
that the bill was wrong, that the
State should not pension dis
abled and dependent Confeder-
ates as it would, in a measure,
acknowledge the cause for which
they fought to be right and in
directly encourage rebellion. To
our mind such statements and
positions do not spring from in
dividuals who would deliberately
sacrifice their lives for the good
of their country nor from those
who really fear that such 9
measure would fire the Old Con
federate with resentment or dis.
Loyalty to ties that bind all the
States into one solid compact. L
appears to US the evidence o.
political prejudice and not the re
suit of extreme loyalty to coun
try. True Southern soldiers

the bill but disapproved it mere
ly because of the lack of funds
he must, indeed, have a low esti-
mate of the taxable resources Ct
this Commonwealth. not many
of the old Confederate soldiers
have ever begged bread, no t
many ever will and we thank
God that the deep and ardent
love for them by the loyal people
whose blood tingles with a senti-
menf for the unfortunate have
provided a home that will shell
ter them in the days of adversi-
'ty, but we had hope that ample
provision would be made by the
State to give them aid in their
old homes and not cause removal
when only a little money would
keep them.

and true Southern people have
never repudiated their position
taken in that conflict. They
stacked arms at AppomatoX,
sheathed the sword throughout
the land and accepted the terms
that reunited our country, after
being overpowered, and no peo-
pie nor no other part of our great
common country is truer. or more
loyal to the Union than those who
fought the armies under che stars
and stripes. For many years
they suffered the indignities
| hurled at them from the Northern
press and rabid political tyrants
who would have rejoiced in their
utter destruction, but time, ed
ucation and commercial develop
ments broadened t h e avenues
that lead to a better understand
ling and blotted out the major
part of censure and i'll will. The
old Confederate soldiers have
fought the battles of life in this
State without aid. None but the
most unfortunate, whose strength
| is not sufficient to earn bread by
| the sweat of the brow, would ex-
pect or desire State aid in the
closing DAYS of their existence.
! But few are in that condition and
therefore but little money would
be needed to give relief to those
who would accept such charity.
With the resources of this State,

that the actor. during the years he was
