the almost unanimous verdict of the
1000 people who have already settled
there, made it their homes for the rest
Of their lives and are making most
substantial improvements. They say,
with no uncertain sound in their voices,
that no other location in Florida can
compare with it, that they are quite
willing to put it in contrast with any
other that may be offered, and that
they are grateful to The National Trib-
une and the Seminole Land & Invest
ment Company for what they have
has given them to secure homes in
Isuch an attractive location at remark
ably low prices. There are inevitably
dissatisfied men in every community,
but it is noticeable that some of those
who went away at first are now regret
ting their decision and desiring to get
back into the colony.
In few instances these men have
been kickers merely in the hope of
some advantage from the company to
purchase their good will. Others have
been hired by promoters of rival colo
nies to get settlers from ST. Cloud to
their own enterprises. How futile these
efforts have been is shown by the fact
that less than one per cent of the total
number of subscribers has been en-
rolled among the dissatisfied ones. More
than SO per cent of the men who have
visited st. Cloud have been delighted
with the location and its unusual pos
sibilities. Not only had nature done
wonders for the colony, but the rapid
increase in population and the develop
ment of substantial improvements is
something phenomenal in the history Of
new settlements. Since Aug. l, only
seven months ago, more than 1000
people have located in the town and
more than 400 houses have gone up.
The improvements made are solid, en-
during and worthy of a first-class town
anywhere. Within a few weeks the ho-
tel, bank, school house, power plant
and other permanent improvements of
high character will be completed and
will place st. Cloud in population and
public cOnVeniences far ahead of any
Of the newer towns in the State. 1t
has already more population than Kis-
Isimmee has gathered in 30 years, and
when the improvements now in prog
ress are completed it will be far ahead
of that town as a place of residence
Since population gives value to land
the holdings in st. Cloud are daily
growing in value, and every year will
see them a much more profitable in
vestment.
In addition, petitions are being pre-
pared for two free-delivery routes. A
rural telephone is being organized, so
that all the settlers will be brought into
close neighborliness

This was the famous Red Leg Regf-
seen in the very heart of battle on so
many fields from Bull Run to Spotsyl-
vania. 1t was a magnificent regiment
of young, brave patriots, and it left 149
of its dead to mark its daring advance
and firm stand whenever it met the
enemy. 1t lost 27 at Antietam out of
the ranks sadly thinned by the fights in
Pope's campaign ard at South Noun

WIDOWS PENSIONS.

As has been stated before in The
National Tribune, the G. A. r. National
Pension Committee met in Washington
a few weeks ago, and spent several
days in canVassing the Congressional
and administrative situation. The mem-
bers of the committee interviewed the
President and many Senators and Rep
rescntatives as to what there might be
some hopes of getting enacted at the
present session of Congress. After sew
eral members of the committee had
been compelled to go home on account
Of the pressure of private business Past
Commanders-inChi Brown, Burdctt
and King remained in the city, and con-
ltinued their labors in behalf of pen
sion legislation. The result of their
best thought was the hope that Il bill
for the relief of certain class of wild
ows might have some chance. and they
formulated the following, which was
introduced Feb. . by Senator McCum-
ber, and was considered at session of
the Senate Committee on Pensions, held
last Monday:
That section of an act entitled IAN
act to increase the pension of widows,
minor children, etc, of deceased SOL
diers and sailors of the late civil war,
the War with Mexico, the various In
dian wars, etc, and to grant a pension
to certain widows of the deceased SOL
diers and sailors of the late civil war"
approved April 10, 1905, be amended to
read as follows:
sec. 9 That If any officer or enlisted
man who served 90 days or more in
the army or navy of the United States
during the late civil war and who has
been honorably discharged therefrom
has died or shall hereafter die leaving
a widow, such widow shall. upon due
proof of her husbands death, without
proving his death to be the result of
his army or navy service, be placed
upon the pension roll from the date of
the filing of her application therefor
under this act at the rate of $12 per
month during her Widowhood: Provid-
ed, That said widow shall have married
said soldier or sailor at least three years
prior to his death and the widow shall
have lived and cohabited with such
soldier or sailor continuously from the
date of such marriage, if subsequent
to June rs, $780, to the date of his
death; and the benefits of this section
shall include those widows whose hus-

DEATH OF SIDNEY NJ. OWEN.

Sidney II. Owen died at his home in
Minnea polls, Feb. 2. He was born in
Ohio in 1888, graduated from Oberlin
and served thru the war in the 55th
Ohio, rising to the rank of First Lieu
tenant. He was for awhile in mercan-
tile business in Toledo, O., and then in
Chicago, but in 1885 went to Minneapo-
lis to take charge of his brothers pa
per. the Farm, Stock and Home. This
position led him into the leadership of
the Farmers Alliance, which made him
its candidate for Governor. He polled
$4,000 votes. making quite an astonish-
ing run. In 1894 he accepted the Popu-
list nomination for Governor, but re.
fused to fuse with the Democrats, which
would have given him the election. He
viii be best remembered by his untiring
labor for the development of agricul-
tural education in Minnesota, and he
was Regent of the Agricultural College
from 1898 until 1901. His policy there
separated him from his Alliance and
Popuiistic friends. He wanted to keeI
the Minnesota University and Agricul.
tural College together, while the Popu.
lists wanted to separate them. The
prominent men of Minnesota pay higt
tribute TO the earnestness and unselfish.
ness of Comrade owens work, and ex.
Coy. Lind says that he contributed more
TO the uplifting of the peoples ideals
than any other man in the State. The
Board of Regents of the Minnesota Uni
yersity deeply regret his loss.

James Miller in succession. The men
composing this regiment came mostly
from the forest regions of the State, and
were a remarkably sturdy and manly
lot. At Fair Oaks, one of the deadliest
struggles of the war, their conduct won
high praise from Generals and histo-
rianS Their loss in this battle was II
killed. 112 wounded and eight missing.
At Gettysburg the regiment took 2iT
men into action and lost eight killed,
rs wounded and nine missing. a total
of 1872. or more than half. In the bat
RE of the Wilderness, where Lieut.-Col.
Greenwalt fell, the regiment lost 80
killed, 116 wounded and six missing.
Col. Mcknight was killed at Chancel-
IOrsvIIIc, Cot. Craig at Deep Bottom and
Maj. John G. Conser at the Boydton
Road. The regiment took active part in
some "a battles and was present at IL
others. 1t belonged to Birney's Divi-

killed and wounded was 1888, and over
80 died in Confederate prisons-Edito

| The accusation of neglectfulness of
been laid at the door of so many young
iCongressmen does not for an instant ap-

He is the son of a veteran, was born in
northwest Ohio, which district furnished
such It splendid body of men to the
Union army, and from the very first
has been in closest touch with those

and feelings as thoroly as young man
can, and has been from the first indie
fatisable in anything that related to
their interest. No man in the House
can be more confidently relied upon to
perform any service that the veterans
or their dependent ones ask of him.
Besides this, he has abilities of quite an
unusual order. and is making his way
rapidly to the front as a capable, eff
cient and influential member of the
House. He is now serving his third
term; is the third member on the i'm

second on the important Committee on

the also important Committee on Terri

able status under the joint resolutions
of Feb. 15, 1895, July /, 1902, and June
IS, 1906"
| 1t will be seen that the above bill
comprises only a very small fraction of
what The National Tribune bill asked
for. but it meets some of the opposition
to the widows pensions by its provi-
sion that the widow shall have married
the soldier or sailor ut least three years
prior to his death and shall have lived
and cohabited with him, taking care of
him during that period. This is to
meet in some degree the senseless
clamor about young girls marrying old
soldiers in the last days of their lives
in order to get their pensions. There
never was any basis for this calumny
on American womanhoOd, but it has
been necessary to meet it, and the COM
mttee has wisely placed the limit as
low as it was felt would make the bill
acceptable to those who were influenced
by this clamor.
At its meeting the Senate Committee
on Pensions decided to send to the
Bureau of Pensions for figures as to
the probable cost of the bill. 1t is esti-
mated that this will cost about $1,000
900, and it is expected that the COM
mittee will recommend the bill, and it
may pass the Senate at this session.
The G. a. r. National Pension Com
mittee deserves the thanks of the en-
tire body of veterans and their widows
for their unselfish and untiring canvass
of the situation and labor for the bene-
fit of a most deserving class. That the
committee could not do more was the
fault of circumstances over which they
have absolutely no control, and their
generous efforts should meet, with ap-
probation and gratitude.

LINCOLN DAY.

SATURDAY.. Feb. u. will be the ami
versary of the birth of the great martyr
President
The ancient sages taught us that the
best way to estimate a people was by
the character of the gods they wor-
shipped. The qualities and attributes
that a people gave to their gods were
the best index of the disposition and
temper of the people themselves.
In the same way we can judge of a
Nation by the men whom it holds up as
its highest ideals of manhood. To the
Latin peoples Napoleon Bonaparte is
the highest type that their race has ever
produced, and in some way or another
his personality shapes that of all the
peoples of Latin birth. The Germans
hold in high honor writers like Goethe
and Schiller; musicians like Beethoven,
Mendelssohn and Meyerbeer; philoso-
pliers like Kant and Spinoza; scientists
like Humboldt and Liebig, and warriors
and public administrators like Frederic
the Great and Won Moltke. The Eng
lfsh have, of course. their ideals in
Shakspere, Milton and Cromwell
The American people have an inval-
liable possession in a far higher type of
well-rounded, complete manhood than
any other Nation can boast of. In the
thousands of years that the English
speaking people have occupied the GEN.
ter of the worlds stage they have pro-
duced far more men great in every field
of human effort than any other race.
Undeniably the greatest of these was
Abraham Lincoln, and in the perfection
of his character we have a priceless
heritage for our people. With the abb
solute purity of his life, the tender
mercy and charity which accompanied
every act, coupled to the ability that
rose TO the grade of God-given genius,
we have a man who has not been
equaled on earth since Him who died
on Calvary. No man in all history had
such colossal responsibilities placed
upon his individual shoulders, no man
ever had such mighty consequences de-
pending upon his determination, and no
man ever carried this tremendous bur-
den with such high ability, with such
unfailing justice, such limitless kindness
and charity for all He put armies and
navies in the field surprising everything
before known in history, the men he
directed and commanded fought more
stupendous battles than any other army
ever did, and the political results of his
triumph were not confined to the saw
ing and upbuilding of this Nation, but
will be felt thru all time IN shaping and
elevating Government and the promo
tion of righteousness and justice for all
men.
We cannot do too high honor to the
memory of Abraham Lincoln, for all
the honor we give him reflects back
upon ourselves. 1t shows TO the world
what the American people esteem the
very highest type of manhood, and this
type must be indicative of the American
character in general. AS Napoleon's
life colors and shapes in a more or less
degree the character of every man of
Latin blood, so must wise, patient saga
cious, unselfsh, farseeing Lincoln, the
man who worked untiringly for the
good of others and not for his own. be
forever an inspiration and a molding
influence upon the character of every
American and, in fact, of every English
speaking man.
