RESOLUTION
By the L. ID. C.'s.

At the twenty-ffth Annual
Reunion of the Mississippi Divi-
sion Of the United Confederate
Veterans, recently held at Bill
oxi. the following resolution, in
troduced by Colonel J. H. Shiv-
ers, was, by unanimous vote,
adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense
| of the Mississippi Division of the
United Confederate Veterans in
convention assembled at Biloxi,
Mississippi, this, the 29th day of
September. 1915, that the full
meaning and purpose of the res
olution amending the old age
pension law, introduced by the
late Senator H. D. Money in the
senate of the United States, a
year or two previous to his death,
for the pensioning of those Con-
federate soldiers participating in
the Spanish American war,
whose certificate of discharge
from the service of the United
States shows service rendered
honest and faithful. on attaining
the age of sixty-two years and
over be pensioned as are the SOL
diers of the United States arm
les who participated in other
wars than the Spanish-American
war.
TIE amendment proposed by
Senator Money was introduced
by him in 1910, a very short time
before his term of Office expired.
1t will be remembered that the
lamented senator declined to
stand for a reelection to succeed
himself, and thereby retired of
his own option on the 4th of
March, 1911, at which time he
was succeeded in Office by the
Honorable John Sharp Williams.
The Money amendment was re-
ferred to the Senate Committee
on Pensions, but as it was intro
duced only a short time before
the final adjournment of the con-
gress, it, by reason of the press
ure of other more engrossing
measures toward the close of the
last session of the senate, was
not reported back by the commit
tee room.
The Confederate soldie rs,
among the Mississippi United
States volunteers were Colonels
George M. Goven, William A.
Montgomery and Robert W.
Banks who were the respective
commanding officers in the order
named of the First, the Second
and the Third Mississippi Regi-
ments.
Colonel Govan has long since
gone to his reward, having died
in New Orleans sanitarium of
a disease contracted in the time
Of duty while in the service, and
his widow received the pension
which was his due as an officer
serving in that war.

MISSISSIPPI CONFEDER-
ATE VETERANS
See Discrimination in L. s. Pension Law

union, held at Biloxi, September
%, %, 80, 1915, the Mississippi
Division of the United Confeder'
ate Veterans adopted a resolu
ton endorsing the amendment
to the pension law introduced il
the United States Senate by the
late Senator H. D. Money, only
a little while previous to the vol
untary retirement fromthat body
The action of the Mississippi
veterans was a very proper steI
to take at this time.
The amendment offered by Mr.,
Money provided that those per.
sons who served in the Confeder-
ate army during the civil war,
and later became volunteers in
the United States army during
the Spanish-American war, and
whose certificate of discharge
from the latter shows service
honest and faithful" shall be
placed on the pension roll upon
the same footing with those en-
listed men, soldiers, and officers
who served in the civil war and
the war with Mexico.
By an act passed in February
or March. 1902, it was "provid-
ed that hereafter the age of six
ty-two years and over shall be
considered permanent specific
disability within the meaning of
the pension laws but is held by
the commissioner of pensions
that that provision does not ap-
oily to Spanish American war vet.
erans.
We have not the Money amend
ment before us and are referring
to it from memory of its provis-
ons, but we are confident of the
substantial correctness of the
foregoing statement of the por-
vision it contains.
The soundness Of the PROPOSE
t on can not fairly be disputed.
The mere statement of the case
'arrles its own argument and
needs little or no elaboration.
For surely it may not reason
IDLY be denied that if one person
should receive a pension from his
government at certain age for
serving as a soldier in one war,
another, serving the same gov
ernment in another war, should
receive it for the same reason at
the same age.
That is a clear, concise present
ment of the case.
Viewed calmly and dispassion-
ately it plainly is to be seen that
there is no logical ground upon
which the government can diff
ferintiate the treatment which
should be accorded to a Spanish
war veteran and veteran of an
other war;
The conclusion is irresistible
incontrovertible and absolutely
unassallable from any standpoint
of justice or craftsmanship.
Indeed, it appears to US, the
completeness and consistency of
its morality is so thoroughly ap-
proved by the best ethics that no
contention to the contrary can be
successfully sustained. So
strongly does it occur to us that
that is true, we cannot see how
the righteousness of it can in any
quarter be questioned without
thereby putting the government
in attitude of being guilty of an
inconsistency which results in a
discrimination that is both un-
necessary and ungenerous - in
fact, unjust and inexcusable-
and upon top of that, in a posi-.
ton which is violative of the
principle, equal and exact justice
to all, with special privileges to
none, upon which rests the very
foundation of popular govern
ments.
