Lest We Forget.

Editor National Tribune: The news
paper gushers are not familiar with the
war record of the guerrilla, John 5.
Mosby. While Mosby- held commits
sion as Major in the Confederate army
and his men were regularly enlisted in
the Confederate service. they were as
lawless a set of scoundrels as ever act
ed together. Their whole record is one
of robbery and at times<murder. They
seldom did any fighting, and never in a
fair, square way, but usually against an
inferior force, and then only when they
could make a surprise. Against equal
numbers they would not stand, and ali
their fighting was simply to capture
suffers stores or quartermasters' sup
plies from the disposal of which they
expected to secure money to divide
among themselves, just as set of sea
pirates would. While their work bene-
flied the Confederate Government, yet
this was not what they were fighting
for, as personal gain in money was
their sole object
Several of this disreputable gang
were Union deserters. One of them,
"Ormsby,'' deserter from the I'd Mass.
Cav, was recaptured by his own COM
rades and shot to death at Vienna, Va.
The true and chivalric Confederate
soldier, who from patriotism and honor
fought as true heroes up to the very
ferent breed from Mosby's gang of
marauders. The soldier got practically
nothing for his service, not even good
food, while Mosby's men were living
like princes from their stealings and
robberies.
Every true Northern soldier has
nothing but good feeling and friend
ship for the true Confederate, and ac-
knowledges with pride that no brayer
men ever held gun, but for Mosby's
land pirates there is nothing but con-
tempt.
For 40 years this leader of these land
pirates has drawn pay from the Gov
ernment which he harassed and tried
to destroy, while thousands of soldiers,
good and true to the cause of the
Union, have been ignored-by the poll
ticians and people at Washington; and
now, when Mosby is finally turned out.
there is a great cry raised by the old
rebel sympathizers and their Copper
head friends, who never offered a word
of sympathy when President Cleveland
was discharging from office thousands
of worthy ex-Union soldiers, and who
probably never shed tear at the
assassination of President Lincoln.
u. A. X" is probably one of the type
who sees no good in a Union soldier,
but can get up good gush over guer-
rillas.-O. r. Whitney, Co. /, 103d n
Y, New York City.

ST. CLOUD WOMEN.
They Are Entirely Satisfied and Enthu-
Siastic rs to the Future.
(From the Tampa (Fla) Times.)

(From the Tampa (Fla.) Times.)
In strong contrast to the occasional
appearance of a peevish and fault-find-
ing letter from a woman newly arrived
in Florida is the bright and cheerful
expression of the women of l.. L. Mitch
ell Woman's Relief Corps, of st. Cloud,
who not only are not disappointed and
aggrieved, but are happy and confident
They have been aroused by the circula-
ton of slanderous reports regarding
conditions in and about their chosen
home, and they stand up for it in no
uncertain tone and manner.
They say that they came to st.
Cloud with husband, father or brother,
for the purpose of escaping the rigorS
of Northern Winters and to build our
homes under the genial skies of this
Southern land. We came here with
high hopes, and our expectations have
been fully realized. For the most part
we own our homes. These are our
homes. and we resent any attack from
any quarter calculated to impair the
value of our property or to turn our
friends from our sides, and we brand
as unmanly blow struck at our homes.
The authors of such unwarranted and
false accusations have forfeited our re-
spect."
That is a plain, unmistakable and I'M
questionable statement. 1t is the sim
pie and direct language of earnest wo-
men, engaged in the most laudable task
that can fall to the lot of the sex, and
that they understand and appreciate
and will fulfill it goes without further
argument. Unless all history fails these
comparatively humble and unpreten-
tious homes occupied by these spirited
women of st. Cloud will be replaced
and succeeded in due time by mansions
better fitted to the character and pluck
of the women who are doing so large
and brave a share in their maintenance
and upbuilding.
The Times here takes occasion to re-
peat its firm conviction that st. Cloud
viii become a city, social and industrial.
of which all Florida will be proud, and
to it's noble women will be due a full
share of the credit all will then be eag-
er to bestow.
The National tribune., 1910-09-01
CHANGE OF ATTITUDE.

most gratifying change of attitude
in regard to St Cloud is noticed in the
Florida papers. When the rush first
began to st. Cloud the papers repre-
senting competing locations had much
TO say against the new colony in hopes
of drawing away some of the settlers to
their own enterprises. Now that the
have grown wiser. They see that it is
the most widely advertised and much
the best known of all the Florida colo
MES, and that it will be accepted by the
people of the United States as demon
stration of the desirability of Florida
for immigrants from the North. 1t has
so far outstripped all the rest that 1t is
taken as a type, and therefore it is their
best policy to look upon it kindly. No
other settlement in Florida is receiving
anything like the notice of St Cloud.
From Maine to the State of Washington,
from Minnesota to Texas, people are
talking about st. Cloud, visiting it, com
menting upon its growth. discussing it's
orally making it the index and the test
by which they measure the whole State.
Therefore. everybody in Florida is COM
ing to regard the success of st. Cloud
as the success of their State, and the old
iealousies of real estate promoters are
swallowed up in sense of the general
development of the State

cordial thanks are thus publicly due
the members of the brigade staff for
the gallant and efficient manner in
which they performed every duty as
signed them AdJt Hamiltons name
heads the list.
The 18th Ohio went with Sherman
to the sea and thru the Carolinas, with
AdJt Hamilton constantly with it, and
he was mustered out at the close of the
war Captain. Since then he has been
a public-spirited citizen of Toledo, ac-
lively efficient and helpful in everything
that looked to the promotion of the in
terests of Toledo and northwestern
Ohio. He has been all the time at the
service of his party and a welcome
speaker at political and veteran gather
ings. He has worked hard in the ranks
of the party, without seeking promo
ton for himself, and the nomination
came to him unsolicited as a recogni-
ton by the people everywhere that he
was the most available and popular
candidate that could be put in the field.
He has kept in close touch with his
comrades, has been attendant at Post
meetings and veteran gatherings and is
held in the highest esteem as a genuine,
Woodworking, broadly-fraterna1 COM
rade. He was the leader in getting the
National Encampment to meet at To-
ledo, and to him is due a large part of
the credit for the splendid entertain
ment which Toledo gave us. Comrade
Iamilton's value in Congress to the
veterans would be incalculable. He is
strong earnest, brave man, a most
effective speaker. and would at once
give weight to the cause of the veter-
ans that our diminishing numbers in
Congress make mournfully needful.
With his Vigor, his earnestnesS and his
thoro knowledge of public affairs he
would command attention and WELD a
strong influence from the moment that
he entered the House.
Comrade Hamilton's services to the
his being made the unanimous choice
of the Department of Ohio for Senior
Vice Comn1ander-in-Ch Chief, to which Of
flee he was elected at Toledo.
We earnestly hope that all the veter-
ans in the Ninth Ohio District will
arouse themselves with their old-time
enthusiasm and leave no stone un-
turned to secure the election of this
splendid comrade

Texas wants to be a great manu-
featuring State. She has more terri
tory than either France, Germany or
Austro- Hungary, a world of undevel-
oped resources of every kind. and any
number of men who would like to be-
come trust barons. All that she lacks
is good supply of the right kind of
labor. She has not been able to get
this from Europe, because immigrants
prefer to go to the North and West,
where the conditions are more attrac-
tive and where they do not have to
come in competition with negro labor
ers Texas, in spite of her progressive
ness, shares with the rest of the States
of the old Southern Confederacy the
unattractiveness of the South to white
working people. The commercial bodies
are now seriously considering this trou-
bic and how to overcome it.

Candidate for Congress In
the Toledo, o., District.

man who will be of the highest
value in Congress to the State of Ohio,
to the northwestern section and to the
veterans will be J. Kent Hamilton, of
Toledo, who is the candidate on the
Republican ticket from the Toledo Dis
trict. Comrade Hamilton has unusual
recommendation for the support of
the voters of his district. In the first
place, he entered the army as a boy,
became Adjutant of the 18th Ohio, a
splendid regiment, which had it's bap-
tism of fire in the awful struggle for
the possession of Snodgrass Ridge at
Chickamauga, where it lost 1913 officers
and men out of the 3S2 it took into ac-
tion. 1t wrested away from the victori-
Gus rebels that portion of the ridge
which 1t assaulted, and was of ma
terial assistance in securing the safety
of our army.
In this engagement Comrade Hamil-
ton showed the greatest courage, and
resolution, winning Communications

There is a cure for everything. The
meat men now find that the high prices
of meat have made a very substantial
reduction in its consumption. A great
many people have found that they can
get along with meat only once a day,
where they have been in the habit OF
having IT three times, and their health
and activity have improved thereby. A
great many have become out-and-out
vegetarians, and the consumption OF
poultry, eggs, milk, butter and cheese
which are the best substitutes for meat
has greatly increased.

that the congregation is now called up
on to decide as to the glass for the win
dows and other fnishings of the

fants will be held next Sunday, which
shows that st. Cloud is growing from
other sources than immigration.

Australia is the country where the
labor unions have had the fullest sway
and where there has been the greatest
effort to carry their theories into prac-
tice. For the second time, a Labor
Ministry has been installed and will at
tempt to carry out the program prom
ised during the recent campaign. This
involves the taking over by the State
of the banking, shipping, sugar, tobacco.
confectionery, wheat, butter. coal, arti-
fetal fertilizer and agricultural imple-
ment industries. Better wages are
promised and shorter hours for the
working man, with more holidays. The
products are to be supplied at lower
rates than heretofore. This is a
mighty program to carry thru, and the
efforts of the ministry will be watched
with interest all over the world. The
policy of discouragement of immigra-
ton is also announced. The Conserva-
tives point out present troubles and
future disasters as a result of this pol
icy; and it will be to the advantage Of
the world if the experiment is given a
fair trial and its results honestly noted.
