to run him out first people regard him as their leader if he has a chance to organize and fight back drive him out today he and his whole brood they'll be just needed before they don't get here oh you're right yes they've gone there goes our little surprise party yeah that's just a trouble we ran off this time but what about the next time in the next i hope to be able to put an end to this violence and bloodshed in johnson county and if you're young people of feel free to marry and bring up your families in safety and com big things are happening in washington the homestead act is going to pass and any day now president lincoln is going to sign the railroad bill authorizing the construction of the line to link the east with the west you realize what that means to us might not be a bad idea if you attended that meeting as a sympathetic listener find out what they're up to but this is something else just a little bit out of your life you go along bring in babies into the world that's your job yes but it's not a very pleasant job when you realize that the same babies may be put to sleep at the point of bullets instead of lowered by as well go ahead let's hear what kind of a plan your head with dr big you pete well don't all of you start jumping down my throat until i had my say first of all i've got the same hope that all of you him to see johnson county go ahead prosper grow into something big and fine where people can enjoy the peace and happiness all humans are entitled to and then pass these things on to their children but you never can make this possible by violence and bloodshed suppose you win today right these  the next time you might not be so lucky peace and security aren't worth anything unless they're lasting permanent you must realize that you both stood behind your ploughs with a gun in your hand and then come home not knowing whether you were going to find a cabin or a pile of ashes you've all had that now why not try something else and i admit that i've had all the fighting i want i'm sick of it but what else is there to do why not use law and order but love when you've got no love then make one like they didn't california out there they organize their court a miner's court it wiped out lawlessness we can do the same thing here appointed judge and jury to pass on all the land disputes any day now we can expect congress to pass the homestead act then we'll have a government land office here where we can however not in this case you don't want to show up i don't think it will be necessary it takes a plaintiff as well as the defendant to make the case now is the plaintiff in this instance is unavoidably absent this might be a good to make things come your way did you have a nice and i understand it's not easy trying to hate somebody that you love very much yes sure i still think i'm right about this law and order thing but law and order backed up  johnson's him you don't get it you mean the sound of the man yes if my plan works out we won't have to fight the government a government will have to fight for us every person in this company owes a debt to your father and i think it only right that the people of this community should pay it off for you when you are systematically thank you for saying that mr abbott right now mary lee and i just don't know what to our friends doc kenton's friends both of them only reason they took us in is because he asked them to tell me you know that's not true well we don't need their help anymore gentlemen and ladies if we are to stamp out this danger we are facing there is but one way to do it we've got to work together and we can do it by words it's got to be action vigorous action but outs not talk we like jeb johnson had the right idea but unfortunately he was talked out of his purpose what he really wanted was a protective association that's what i propose we form not right we don't need the protection when these yoko's wake up to what they've signed mr governor the constitution of the united states gives everyone the right to enjoy life liberty and the pursuit of happiness it also gives him the right to protect his family and defend his home even at the point of a gun in the case of unlawful invasion also provide s alarm company so what are you talking about why the johnson county land company that owns this place want crazy talk is this i own this get back to your work jason you can't loaf around here and pay for your grub and you a woman get back to your kitchen and feed it plenty of grub on the table i might be with you for quite a spell and i got to shore enough i'm sure i shall enjoy working with him i view confident that i will be well represented by my boy but by the by governor keep getting protection on what do you got to he got plenty to kick about we've been cheated we've been it's all here in black and white you sign with your eyes open we sign because we believe in young johnson we didn't think that he'd sell us out pa i don't believe you sold the salt head of a concern generally knows what's going  ours every we're not going to recognize that and if one of your many steps is put on my farm i don't feel him full of holes what's the matter with you you're mad i didn't mean iran not to say i did nice right i only want to do what was right tell him good talk i could i didn't mean it i mean you've got to believe i didn't mean any role you know i doctor but those devils of tangled him up so cleverly in the scheme that it would be impossible to prosecute them without involving young johnson and they know that yes i suppose so i left here with everybody blaming me for his father's death now i come back to this i know how you feel it's an unfortunate position to be but without young johnson we wouldn't dare call that they made him head of the land company you yourself were the d accusing every farmer we called to testify will blame him more than the real sharper they believed in him and joy and because of him judge we've got to save the boy no case will never be called a trial  that you don't realize what you're asking if i do that it means that every man here will lose his farm his home you wouldn't want to see that happen  as i'm going to ask you a few questions now there's nothing to be afraid of you swear to tell the truth yes is that your signature yes if you send this in the office of the johnson county land company didn't you yes i did when you put your name on this paper did you have any intentions of assigning over your property rights to that company no i didn't  yeah i did what i was told them to
