SEEKING PENSIONS |. FOR ONFEDERATES
J. M. Weiser of Virginia Thinks It Time for Gov
 ernment to Act

Veteran J. N. Weiser of Pulaski, Va,
 is in Birmingham as special represen-
 tative of Pulaski county camp. United
 Confederate Veterans, for the purpose of
 placing before the veterans the matter
 of securing a federal pension for needy Confederate soldiers, and Mir. Weiser says
 that the appeal will go to Congress not
 as coming from a people who feel that they have been wronged. but from 8 peo-
 pie who believe that they have a perfect
 right to a pension by all the laws of na-
 ture and of man.
 .'The Pulaski camp is supporting the
 proposed measure of Representative J..
 NJ. Tillman of Arkansas in the House"
 he said. We feel that the Confederate soldier is entitled to a pension for the
 same reason that Federal soldier is entitled to one.
 I've fought the union because we be- lieved we were right, and the best think CTS of the north, headed by Charles Fran cis Adams, are agreeing with us that We had the right of secession under the con- stitution. The people of the north hold the theory that secession was ineXpedient. and I am sure, many veterans of the Confederacy agree with them today. but, of course, in the 'e0s, the question of expediency never entered the minds of any of us.
 q trenble to think of what would have been the result had we won in our fight for a principle. Instead of being the mightiest nation upon the globe today, we would have been nation at cross purposes, probably with crossed bayonets, and that the union was saved was the best possible thing that could have hap pened in the light of clear thinking to- day.

Don't Dry Up Your Scalp With

II is a common mistake when
