 l AGAINST SUFFRAGE
Anniston Man Tells Why He Opposes Continued Gen.
 tralization of Power
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, May 21.-(Special )-The equal suffrage amendment passed the House this afternoon, 3O4 to SS.
 All Alabama members save Representa- tive Oliver of Tuscaloosa opposed the passage. MT. Oliver voted "aye."
 Representative Blackmon regarding the vote said:
 After the House was organized few days ago, a motion was made to take this resolution from the Judiciary com mittee to which it was properly re- ferred, but the over zealous gentlemen in the House who favor surrendering the rights of states and centralizing power at Washington voted to change the ref erence.
 "On my motion demanding division, succeeded in getting only F votes aganist changing the reference of the resolution from the judiciary committee to the woman suffrage committee. I op- posed originally the creation of this com mittee because 1t was known that suf- frage committee had no function other than to get the woman suffrage resolu- ton reported. Heretofore all resolutions changing the constitution have gone to the judiciary committee because this committee has always handled all ques- tions affecting the organic law of the country.
 T was urged to vote for this resolution by a great many people because it was argued that woman suffrage was com ing and it would be wise for me to get on the band wagon. I have never been a rider of the hand wagon, politically and am now getting a little too old to make these jumps for the band wagon, because we are required to jump so often and at each jump we are surren- dering the rights of the states and their sovereignty and in so doing we are rap idly centralizing all power at Washing ton.
 ..The republicans voted almost solidly for this amendment, but the republicans were merely following the doctrine of MT. Hamilton who believed that all power should be vested in the federal government MT. Jefferson took the op- posite view. He believed that all power not delegated by the states to the fed eral government should remain with the states. I am following MT. Jefferson be- cause l bsleve he was right and MT Hamilton wrong.

Jefferson Veterans In Hearty Sympathy With Plans For Strong Body

Jefferson county's world war veterans
 are in thorough sympathy with ideas
 expressed in an editorial in yesterdays
 Age-Herald urging them to organize
 strongly and to take an aggressive in-
 terest in politics.
 This idea is being advocated with the view Of putting politics and office holu- ing upon much higher plane than it has been in the past. leading execu- tive officer of the Jefferson county vet erans, elected at their meeting some time ago, and who attended the Vet erans' legion meeting in St. Louis did not hesitate to express his approval when asked his views yesterday.
 Interest in the subject is timely and important" he said. q not only do not think that the veterans should not fail to be a powerful factor in politics but on the other hand I think they should become a more and more powerful and important factor in our political life. Furthermore, I think the spirit among them shows that they undoubt- edly will be heard from in all govern mental matters in future. Such inter- est as they show should of course not be along narrow partisan lines, nor should the veterans allow themselves | to be used for the furthering of self 1 ish personal interests. They should
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-05-22

rather keep their motives and actions on lofty plane.
 Tn fact they should show themselves in politics to he the same kind of men that they showed themselves to be in war when fighting for ideals.
 Their interest in the public welfare shown at all times unquestionaoly means that they will become power full factor, probably determining fac tor in shaping the future destinies or the nation. They realize that no one has more at stake in seeing good gov ernment of their country than they themselves and it is natural to assume that their interest will be shown &C., cordingly.
 "Another important point to bear Tn mind is that the veterans organizations will be exactly what the enlisted men make them. It is time to get away from the talk of officers among the veter : ans. Enlisted men oHtnumber officers 20 to 1 and they can therefore make the veterans organizations just what they will. It is entirely up to the enlisted man and he should realize his powers and appreciate at their full value the responsibilities that thus rest upon him.
 q haven't the slightest doubt that the enlisted men vii, maintain the high standards in civilian life that they have maintained in military hte'

Prompt Assistance Needed 10 Regain Your Lost
 Strength

! you have been fortunate CT Ugh to survive an attack of this dangerous disease, which has been so severe in all parts of the country, you know the damaging effects which it leaves. Your pain-racked body has been through one of the most trying ordeals of your life, and even if you have won over the millions of disease germs that threatened your life, the effects of the attack are still with you.
 Your strength is about all gone, and your vitality is at a low ebb. Experience has proven than no disease leaves the sys- tenn in a more rundown, de bilitated and depleted condi- tion. There is soreness throughout the body, a re- hinder of the torturing pains that you suffered; the nerves are all unstrung, and your sense of weakness almost borders upon complete helplessness.
 The system is "all shot to pieces," resembling very much a war-stricken land that has been devasted by a ruthless enemy. As soon as you are able to be up and about, you realize the important repair that the system needs to restore your former robust vigor.

AMER|CAN|SN REAL CREED OF VETERANS
 OF AMERICAN LEGION
Lussier Comments Editorial Which Urges Veterans to Be Strong in
 Politics
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 May l be allowed to commend your splendid editorial on what should be the goal of the World War Veterans in todays issue of The Birmingham Age-Herald? It is refreshing to find such vision of what the period of recon struction holds forth so ably, and so fearlessly expressed. Every veteran of the world war in the Birmingham dis trict should read your editorial and make it a part of his political cate chism.
 Quite obviously organizations of world war veterans cannot hold it as their primary creed that politics will be the dominant activity of sailors, sol diers and marines associations. The creed is truthfully expressed when it states that the association is for his- torical and benevolent purposes. The historical part is quite necessary, as who will be interested in the preser vaton of our records and relics ex- cept ourselves? As for the benevolent purposes veterans Of the world war will of course, be highly sympathetic of the needs of the unfortunates amongst our own. Another feature of our creed is Americanism. That is paramount to all else
 The American Legion today stands as non-political national organiza- tion of all world war veterans. pledged together as a bar against bolsevism ar for the ideals of Americanism which will deport to foreign lands all obstruc- tors to the progress of this country. As former Senator Luke Lea of Tennessee stated at the St. Louis convention of the American Legion: Those that were found unsafe in times of war should not be allowed to remain in this coun- try to reap the fruits of peace"
 The American Legion will serve pos sibly a political education to its mem bers It is about time that qualifica tions for public office should consist of more than being able to shake hands we'll, to be able to recognize acquaint- ances, to answer all mail queries, anc to coddle all manner 4 associations also to pass around an introduction card requesting political support Il seems to me that sort of thing has served it's day, and quite probably abil. ity will count in the future instead ot innuendo and the arraigning of class against class.
 Your editorial has the right tone It is nail in the coffin of the jack leg' politician. Very truly yours, RICHARD F. LUSSIER. Member State Executive Committee American Legion.
