For Fourteen Years Names
on Rolls Have Exceeded
100000 Yearly.
LARGEST ADDITION AMONG
DEPENDENTS WAS WIDOWS
Spanish War Pensions Are Next
in Number to. Those of
the Civil War.

Washington. Nov. 22.--The number
of names o. the pension roll for the
last fourteen years has exceeded 900,-
600 every year. On the last day of
January. 1905. the maximum was
reached. the number being 1,004,971.
Though the pension commissioner an
ticipstes more marked decrease in
the coming year. 1t is not likely how
ever that the decrease in the number
of pensions will be large enough to
effect pension appropriation for some
time to come. The amount paid in
pensions for the fiscal year Of 1906,
$136, ,237,749. was nearly as large as
that for the year before notwithstand-
ing the decrease in the number of
pensioners. At the close of the fiscal
year there were 666,453 survivors of
the war o. the rolls, which represent
ed a decrease for the year of 1850
after allowing for the deaths of army
pensioners and the additions to the
roll on original applications. The
largest increase among the dependents
was of widows amounting to more
than 5000. The number of deaths
among the widow was 11,25S and the
number of original applications grant
ed was 16,939. The widows greatly
outnumber the survivors. There vas
4.540 survivors of the Mexican war
and 1858 widows and of original ap-
plications granted eight were to
survivors and 342 to widows. The
number Of pensioners of the Spanish
war ranks next to that of the Civil
war, the total on June 30th was 22,-
621, an increase of 2,130 during the
year. The most notable increase il
lamong the inyalids, widows, minor
children, mothers and fathers and il
may continue for many years.

What Other Speakers sa d.

Paul Thieman, editorial writer for
the Denver Post, made a rather sensa-
tionai speech on Excessive Political
imagination Thieman said in part /:
Travelling from Denver to Kansas
City the other day, | sat watching
oceans of uncultivated land as far as
my eye could reach, There are mil
lions of persons elsewhere willing to
better their condition, and all that is
needed to make the gigantic waste
blossom as the rose is an organiza-
tion to bring people and the soil to-
gether. The world has heard much
of the terrible troubles in Colorado
These terrible troubles have resulted
from an excessive political imagina-
tion. Finally Colorado has realized
this truth and is well again. Colo
rado could have had twice the popu-
lation she now has If it had not devel-
Oped such excessive power to imagine
evil"
