"There is hardly room for the pretense that her first husband's death was due to his military service."

"I return without approval House bill No. 2233, entitled 'An act granting a pension to Bernard Carlin.'"

"I am of the opinion that a case is not presented in any of its aspects justifying a pension."

"The allegation or the presumption that it caused his fatal fall, it seems to me, is entirely unwarranted."
