Mr.. T.. ID. Fraser's commune alton,
which is printed today, throws addi-
uonal light on the Masters salary
question. II II a plain. straight-for-
ward statement such as was to be ex-
pected Of MT. Fraser. He assumes
entire responsibility for the bill now
before the legislature and gives his
reasons for introducing and advocat-
Ing the bill. While we do not agree
with the conclusions that Mr.. Fra
ser arrives at. yet we appreciate the
force Of his argument. We can and
do heartily endorse the position he
assumed In declining to fall In with
the recommendation OF majority Of
the Bar Association that the fees of
the Masters Office be abolished and

the two plans. the one advocated by
Mr.. Fraser Ia greatly to be preferred,
for his plan relieves the taxpayers
OF the county Of part OF the addi-
tinal burden sought to be imposed
upon them. In our opinion It would
be mistake to adopt either plan.
We do not believe that the office Of
Master In Equity Is necessity, at
most II is a convenience. and when
there Is great deal OF business of
this special character to be disposed
of II is facilitated by having a Mas

WAY TO BUILD UP THE SOUTH.
An Address by Clarence f.. Poe, Ed
itOr OF the Progressive Farmer.

Columbia, Feb. 9.-For some time
the University has been expecting a
visit from Clarence H. Poe, the versa
tile editor Of the Progressive Farm
er of Raleigh, N. c. He came here
yesterday on his way to Atlanta to
attend the cotton products conven
ton. His address in the University
chapel inspired the young men.
President Mitchell says of him:
Clarence Poe Is one Of the sanest
thinkers In the South and in this ad-
dress he has given the gist Of his
thought as to the best way in which
to build up our country. His mind is
eminently practical. and he has built
concretely- with the constructive
forces at work in the south today.
Mr.. Poe Is liberal. sympathetic and
structural in all his plans to promote
the welfare Of the people in this re-
zion. He is self-made man.
He has epitomized in his own per-
sonal experience the difficulties IN
der which the south in the last half
century has labored. BY sheer force
of character. clearness Of intellect
and dint Of perseverance, he has
forced on his way to the front as a
leader Of public thought. Through
his admirable paper ne exercises
great influence, especially as regards
better farming, growth Of community
life In the rural districts. good r,ads.
better schools and independence in
thought"
His address at the university was
so timely, pointed and direct in it's
import that II impressed the entire
student body and faculty. Mr.. Poe
stands for practical programme of
progress In the south which neces-
sarily appeals to the aspiring youth.
His address was another In the series
at the university of practical talks
on present topics. Mr.. Poe met the
large audience that listened to his
able speech, of which the following
Is synopsis:
We have neglected our average
man: His has been our great trouble.
Talk about States resources, there
Is only one resource, the man, the
child, the citizen present or future,
and his intelligence. character and
strength-his average intelligence,
character and strength. This is the
measure OF all other values, and in
speaking to you I am going to lay
down this as my first and primary
proposition:
To develop our state we must de-
velop the intelligence and efficiency
of our average population, and the
material resources of the State--min-
erals. soils. water powers, climate,
forest or what not are valuable or
worthless in production to the eff
ciency-the intelligence, energy and
character of your average citizen.
Secondly, 1 declare to you with no
less emphasis that the prosperity of
every individual man measured by
the prosperity. the efficiency-that is
to say. the efficiency and character Of
the average man in the community
No matter what trade. business or
profession you may follow, you pros
per just I'm proportion to the intelli-
gence and wealth Of the average man
with whom you have to deal. In
other words not only does the pros

and of society rs whole depend on
the prosperity of the average man.,
but the prosperity of every trade, art

THE PEOPLE ARE sovEREIGNs.

Speaker Joseph G. Cannon has Lin
coins gift of putting humble truths in
way that impress themselves upon
peoples minds This was manifested
in recent article on "Our Country and
the Conditions" He said:
From the Gulf of Mexico to 40 de-
grees north latitude our people were
never more prosperous than they are
to-day; more crops are grown on our
farms; more goods are manufactured
in our factories, and our commerce
takes more trains to carry it than at
any time in the history OF our coun-
try. And our people are sovereigns.
The sovereignty in any country should
not only be patriotic, but it should be
wise. The history of the world has
only occasionally shown a Car that
was both wise and patriotic The life
of a generation is 81 years, and the life
of those who attain to majority is SO
years. How quickly we ripen. and how
quickly we are reaped! The people are
sovereigns. Every year our As States
spend for education of the oncoming
sovereigns $500, 100000. This for 49,
100000 school children. This Is one
third of the entire amount spent by
the countries of the world, civilized
and uncivilized. for education. 1t is
great to have sovereignty in every unit
of great people. But 1t cannot re-
main sovereignty unless this great pop
ulation is not only patriotic, but wise.
Sovereignty entails responsibilities as
we'll as inestimable privileges.

a most charming man. and held In the
highest love and admiration by the
small circle which enjoyed his friend
ship. He had long suffered from
Bright's disease, and his death came
suddenly from heart failure due to that
disorder. He spent his Summers usual
ly at his Summer home at Sorrento,
near Bar Harbor, Me-, and had been in
apparent good health lately. There
was no premonition of the end. The
day before his death he attended church
as usual, and when he went to bed
seemed to be in his usual health. His
death will mean that the rehearing of
the Standard Oil, Tobacco Trust and
Corporation cases will be delayed for
some months. The rehearings were
settled for October, but they cannot be
held until a new Chief Justice and pos
sibly an Associate Justice are nominat-
ed and confirmed. The President might
make recess appointments, but he has
declared his opposition to this, and
therefore the Court will have to wait to
be filed up until Congress can pass
upon the nominations, which, of course,
will not be until December.

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE PENSION
BILL AT THE NEXT SESSION.

Congress has adjourned, as we pre-
dicted early in the session, without
passing any general legislation for the
benefit of the veterans or their widows
The reason given for this was the de-
pleted condition of the Treasury ard
the most absolute necessity for economy
| until the Payne-Aldrich bill could dc
its work in replenishing the Govern
ments vaults. The tariff bill has been
signally successful in that, and there is
every probability that by the time the
next session of Congress shall convene
that the Governments cash balance will
be in the most gratifying condition for
years.
When facing stern conditions The
National Tribune ceased active efforts
to secure the passage of this bill we
announced that as soon as the condi-
tions then existing were modified for
the better we should resume our efforts
to secure the passage of the bill. In
accordance with that plan and promise,
we now renew our campaign to have
The National Tribune bill passed at the
coming session of Congress. and shall
continue those efforts until the bill has
become law. Without opposing any
other measure before Congress and
wishing that all could succeed, we are
firm in the belief that there is far more
hope for the passage of The National
Tribune pension bill than for any other
which has been proposed, and that such
passage will do greater good to a
greater number than any other. We
believe in urging legislation upon the
paths of least resistance. The National
Tribune bill is simply some steps for
ward in the way that pension legisla-
ton has always proceeded. 1t proposes
nothing startling or revolutionary; it
will simply increase the rates of all PEN
sioners to keep pace with their advanc-
ing years and increasing necessities.
This will commend itself, we are sure,
to the good sense and to the sense of
justice and right of the people of the
whole country, and therefore arguments
in favor of The National Tribune bill
will fall upon ears quite ready to re-
ceive them favorably. We believe that
Congress will be far more favorably
disposed toward The National Tribune
pension bill than any other that has
been suggested. and that If we concen-
trate our efforts upon it, as we shall
constantly urge the veterans and friends
of veterans to do,E shall make sure
of it's passage. If we can secure its en-
actment into law at the coming session,
it will benefit every veteran in the coun-
try, and will helptto lift him above the
daily anxiety as to his support and that
of his pooroold wife, This security for
the future will tend to prolong his life
and hers, and therefore we have every
reason for all rallying in solid phalanx
under the banner of The National Trib-
une pension bill.

RINGING CIRCULAR.

Commander Alexander p. Asbury, of
the Department of Indiana, G. A. r.,
sends out a ringing circular in the in
pension bill. 1t reads:
Headquarters Department of Indiana,
C. A. r., Room 25, State House,
Indianapolis. Ind, June Z, 1910.
Circular Letter No. 1.
To the officers and Comrades:
This year viii witness a greater de-
pletion of our ranks than any before.
Each loss must be met by two of our
comrades not enrolled taking his place,
and / ask you now to see at once every
comrade who is a straggler and every
comrade in reach of your Post who
have not enrolled with us, and never
stop until delinquents are back with US
again and the careless have signed the
muster roll.
Comrades this can and must be done
Remember, the coward shirks, the lag
gard misses roll call, but the faithful
are remembered. Let us here acknowl-
edge what has already been done by q
grateful State and a generous Nation.
Monuments have been erected by Coun-
ty and State, markers given to our un-
known dead; kind hands have kept the
vines from covering their graves; Or
phans have been sheltered, schooled
and fed; comrades and widows
have been provided for, all Of
which calls forth our highest consider
alton. But now, comrades, let us unite
as never before in asking that every
honorabIy discharged soldier and sailor
who stood to save this Nation in its hour
of peril, who offered their all upon their
country's altar, shall now enter into
their just due-$1 per day-that they
may possess their souls in peace and
die at their own firesides.

sI.ANDERING ST. CLOUD.

Without imputing motives we cannot
comprehend or envy the mind Of any
man claiming to be a comrade who will
the efforts of thousands of his COM
rades to establish for themselves a
home in Florida where they can escape
the rigors of the Northern climate. For
years The National Tribune has been
asked to establish such a colony. and
an ideal location was found at st. Cloud.
This choice has been approved in the
most wonderful way by the comrades
themselves in going thither and ex-
pending great amounts of money. and,
what is far more valuable, their intel
lectual and physical energies in build
ing up a model community which will
be an honor to the G.. A r. and a
source of pride to every veteran and
friend of veteran. Nowhere in the
United States can there be found a
community that for intelligence, integ-
rity, enterprise and high character gen.
orally equals that established at st.
Cloud. 1t is made up wholly Of men
who had unselfshness and public spirit
enough to respond to their country's
call, who fought bravely for it and have
since been model citizens of the COM
munity where they have lived. They
have done wonders in the last few
months in building up beautiful town
and making it all that their best ideas
could conceive. So successful have
they been that the coming Fall will see
thousands more of their comrades COM
ing down to join them to live in the
congenial society of their comrades and
have their years heightened by resi-
dence in the most ia vOrable climate to
be found in the United States. To have
any man claiming to be a comrade en-
deavor to blight all this, to fill the air
with ISLANDERS and falsehoods, to exag-
gerate to the last point of imagination
minor unfavorable incidents such as
are inseparable to the inception of any
new community, shows malignant wick
edness. 1t shows a pitiless lack of
sympathy with those for whom he has
sworn sympathy, and heartless indiffer-
ence to the injury that may be caused
to the worthiest in our ranks. No words
of condemnation can be too strong for
such a man.
