"The father does not appear to be so needy and dependent as is often exhibited in cases of this class."

"The allowance of pensions by special acts based upon service only gives rise to unjust and unfair discriminations among those equally entitled."

"I think the adoption of the principle that the Government is an insurer against accidents under any circumstances befalling those enlisted in its military service when visiting at home is an unwarrant..."

"It is not probable that he ever saw any actual service."
