ative form for form in which the peo-
pie have direct voice IN making the
laws by which they are TO be governed3
If we are not thus intelligent and honest
it becomes our immediate duty to. be-
come so. This duty is on all. We are
not to say, the people are not educated
to accept the responsibility of self
government by direct legislation.
The duty of each one is to ask AM 1
READY? This is THE hard question.
To be able to answer this, let US state
few of the wrongs it will correct. 1t
will call on US to vote for principles in
stead OF parties as we do now. When
we have proposed law printed, can
read it, we can form a more correct
judgement as to whether or not 1t would
benefit US, than we can of men as to
whether or not they will honestly
represent US and make good laws for
US.
Direct legislation will put final stop
to lobbying, which we all know is great
evil to our country. 1t will, by the
referendum, enable the people to reject
law they do not want. 1t puts them
in a position to get laws they want
which they cannot now get under the
present representative system. By the
imperative mandate the people can
recall to private life the representative
who fails or refuses to act for their
interest. 1t makes the legislators the
servants of the people in fact. instead
of masters as they now are. It puts
in the hands of the people to repeal a
law that is not to their interest. And
finally by proportional representation
all parties will be represented in pro-
portion to their numbers instead OF by
the majority as now in most cases. are
unrepr -sented. With all these ad-
vantages in favor of direct legislation,
it seems that we could all answer that
we, each for bimself, are ready and will
vote for direct legislation.
If we can and will do so, we can and
will make the change aud thus make
our country what we have always
wanted, government of, by and for
the people instead of. as now it is a
government of, for and by the rich
corporations. Parker Ball. in the

An Early Settler.

1t Is interesting to meet with the
first settlers Of this county and hear
them recall their experiences back in
he 7O's, when this country was first
peopled by white men.
Henry ShultZ, of near Heizer, was
in town last Friday. and IN converse
tion he told us of fact that we
had not known before, i. g., that him
self and John Reinecke, also at present
a resident of the vicinity of Heizer,
were the two first meu to stake claims
in Barton county.
years ago = Mr.. Shultz and MIR.
Reinecke came into this locality. They
located the farms where they have
since resided. up the Walnut Greek,
being the first white settlers here. The
next year they moved their families
here from Chicago. ShultZ says this
whole country was then Over-run with
buffalo, and an occasional baud of
Indians was also one of the unwelcOme
sights. La the summer of 1870 Shuitz
and Reinecke started to drive to Ellis.

supplies, that being the closest railroad

buffalo. They slipped down the creek
and dashed into the herd, Mr.. Shuitz
killing two 6ne buffalo where the
| court house now stands.
The next year the party of Quincy,
Ills, people who first founded the
town. arrived. They asked Shultz and
Reinecke all about the surrounding
country. Some of the company wanted
to lay out town east of the Walnut
creek and near Fort Z4rah; but Shultz
advised them that the ridge where the
| town is now located would be the best.
and that the country west. up the
valleys of the Wet and Dry, Walnuts
would be settled first, with the result
that Great Bend was sventuali,
located on its present site.
In speaking of those early days. and
recalling the REAL old settlers who
are still settlers here, Mr.. ShultZ said
he wanted to this year have reunion
or picnic OF all early settlers of the
county. The idea Is a good one and
we hope that it will be followed up tU
a successful issue. The proper place
for such a reunion will be Grsat Bend
Our court yard park is now. in summer
time. most inviting grove; there is ar
excellent stand for speaking, witt

The DEMOCRAT would like to see some

matter in hand and arrange such re-
union to be held at such time as would
be most convenient for the farmers.
