Editor Free Press,
You have treated the Reserva-
ton hOmesteaders talr. please give
me little space to ask the people
of Hays and taxpayers a question.
The Topeka journal last week
had an interview with Regent Stew
art in which it says:
1900 Acre Park.
Regent Stewart has ideas
about one at Fort Hays.
Would have Ba8alo and other
Wild Animals.
Plan to make 1t another Kansas
Institution.
Senator Stewart who is Re
gent of the Agricultural college G
is deeply Interested in the Park
part of project and might be term
ed its ''Ft Hays Expert. am
in favor of ploWing Up about a
quarter section and carry on a com
pletc series OF experiments with
wheat. hard rye and other cerials.
Gas to the park | think I should
suggest that 1000 acres be fenced
in. We ought to have a herd of
buffalo, some deer and elk. There
would be a chance to make quite
a Game preserve after the fashion
of Yellowstone"
Wouldn't that be nice!- would
MT it benefit the business men and
taxpayers? Bring in such a rev
enue to the county, elevators and
help pay your needed expenses
The farmers need a game preserve
bad. 1t might benefit you & Reed
ers & Thomas who own the land
adjoining the Preserve. 1t would
give fat fob to a pet But hon
estly don't you believe it would be
more benefit to the town, to bust
ness to have the settlers who can
buy food and clothing, raise crops
to sell and buy, build and improve
and in time deed and pay taxes.
Mr.. Griffith said in his paper last
Year:-''It would be better for the
business eff the town if there was
farmer on every quarter section
on the Reservation, and If the
state happen to win their suit and
drive the settlers off and fenoe 1000

cover a dear lesson.

AS expected, US Land attorney
Allen Cox arrived Saturday eve
from Dallas, Texas to help look
after the Reservation homestead
cases, having been telegraphed to
from " akeeny. As both the
'tSepubllcan" and the Free Press
said-''the Homestelders were sat
isfied and anxious for a rehearing
to settle the title But when they
read the Brief and saw that the
Attorney General, thro' his assis
tant. Mr.. Saum, not only proposed
to try and get the laid, but also
freeze them out of the improve
ments which the Government fore
ed them to put on the land, and
now they are more bitter than
ever add hired the best 8ttornies
possible, as 1t means 5000 to $500
more loss to each.
For that clause in the Brief the
AttOInev General should be tho
rOugly aahamed of himself. The
great and wealthy state OF Kansas
cannot afford to be unjust to any
of Its citizens and deprive them of
their honest rights. It may be the
Land Office decided wrong but the
law required these homesteaders
to build a house thereon and the
Hays committee should have had
the improvements mutually appraI
sed and agreed to pay for before
ever fling the brief; and that clause
alone is enough to kill off the case
before the Secretary, for the Land
Office Is never unjust to a settler,
and the people cant afford to have
it said that they were.
The Colleges could surely have
used the Plowing and crops, and
the buildings worth something and
the next Legislature would surely
made an appropriation to pay the
bill. 1t is anarchy or confscation
of property worse than ever preach
ed and be a just cause for defeat,
This paper has continually cOnten-
ded shat our citizens should treat
these homestea,lers honorable,
remembering the Golden rule.
