BILL PASSED BOTH HOUSES
AND NEELEY MAKE ELECTRIFYING
SPEECHES IN FAVOR OF BILL
Special to The Democrat

Special to The Democrat
A telegram from Washington,
to the Democrat, announces that
the Homestead Bill passed both
houses, and will become a law. 1t
enables the homesteader to make
final proof on bis claim in three
years instead of FIVE. Clark made
a forceable speech in which he
said:
1t is most painful to me to see
some of our best people, including
whole families, leave the country
and 90 to Alberta and Manitoba,
Canada, to take up their residence"
He spoke for the bill reducing
from five to three years the resi-
dence term to prove up on home
stead land.
From the Congressional Record
of Wednesday, March 20, we take
the speech made by Neeley on the
homestead bill:
Mr.. Chairman, this bill is of
particular Importance to'the peo-
pie of my district, a district that
extends about two hundred miles
east and west and having an ele-
walton of from 1900 to 1900 feet.
1t is composed in the main of ia
BILE land, almost level, sloping
slightly to the southeast. Twenty
five or thirty years ago this coun-
try was almost entirely homestead
ed. We had Hugoton, Richfeld,
Santa Fe, johnson City, Ulysses,
and Woodsdale--some now in
memory : all Aourlshing cities of
from 1,5OO to $500 population.
They built their schools, their
churches, their court houses. and
other public buildings, and the
grasshoppers came, the drought
came. and in two years this coun-
try and this district and the towns
as promising as any in any other
section of the United States, be-
came almost entirely depopulated,
and thus remained for Is and 90
years practically uninhabited and
useless, except for the people who
had cattle and were able to stay,
and who fought the fight and
finally won.
Within the last three or four
years the settlers have begun to
go back into that section to build
up the towns, until now almost
every quarter section has a family
living there, trying to make a
home. On account of the high
cost of living and the competition
in the cities of the. East, a class of
people in moderate circumstances,
have settled upon those lands and
have staked everything they have
in the world upon their ability to
make a home there. Everything
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1912-03-29

that they have is represented by \
that piece of Government land,
with the little home and the few
head of stock they have been able
to accumulate.
Since / have been here I have
received perhaps as many asa
hundred letters from different peo.
pie residing on those lands asking
for some kind of relief from the
conditions that exist out there.
The last three crop years have
been almost total failures for the
man on new land there. During
the first summer they left their
homes and went away to work in
the harvest fields for those in the
eastern part of the state and they
went back the second summer and
again the third summer, and now
the limit Of endurance has been
reached, Letter after letter has
come from them asking If there is
not some plan by which they can
be supplied with free seeds with
which to seed their lands this year,
as they are helpless and cannot go
seed for themselves.
AS | understand it unless they
secure release from the obliga-
ton to reside on their premisis,
they are liable to lose their home
steads by contest if they go away
to work to support themselves and
their families, and il this bill is
passed and enacted into law those
people will be aided in that way.
Most of them have lived there
practically the entire three years
so that they can prove up on their
land and secure the home which
they have earned so fairly, and
can then go away from there tenn
porarily, with chance to make
livelihood.
The proposition now has been
reduced to this, gentlemen, that
they cannot leave, because they
have no where else to go, and they
cannot stay because they cannot
starve. [Applausel 1 think in
fairness they are entitled to some
kind of consideration. This bill
will afford q measure of relief to
them. 1t might be proper for me
to say here that ever since about
the 14th day of last December
nearly every foot of the 80 coun-
ties in my district has been cover
cred with snow. That country
now has from 2 to 4 feet of snow
over the entire western section.
The finances of those people are
depleted and in view of the fact
that no harm can possibly be done
them by the passage of this act it
is certainly matter of exact and
strict justice to them that it should
become a law" [Applause

State which his courage and his
genius helped to found. When the
State of Texas recently was asked
by the u. S. government to place in
it's Hall of Fame" q statue OF its
two greatest citizens, there sprang
spontaneously from the lips OF every
Texan. Place first the hero of San
Jacinto and the avenger of the Alamo,
Sam Houston of Rockbridge. OF
whom it might be said, had there
been no Houston there might not
have been Republic or State of
Texas.
1t is the mother, rather than the
father, who endows her son with
his nobility, and Sam Houston s
mother was not an exception. Never
did Spartan mother give a nobler
charge to her son than did Hous-
ton 5 mother to her boy when be en-
tered the army of General And rev
Jackson as private. against pro
test of his relatives, at the age OF
seventeen. She said, taking dow n

my boy, and go! remember your
mothers cottage will ever be open

In my pride, ! thank God, Mrs.
Houston was Elizabeth Paxton Of

the curio room OF the Library last
week, when the son of Mr.. G. p.
Brady Of Buffalo Forge, Va, class
Of 1872, presented the Institute with
a log taken from the old cabin in
which Stonewall Jackson was born.
Mr.. Brady also left a number of old
letters with Miss Gi IBIS, showing
the history of the log and tracing it
from the time that it was taken from
the cabin. From what can be gath
cred from the letters it seems that
when the birthplace OF General Jack
son was destroyed this log came
into the possession of DR.. ]. NJ. b.
cock of Clarksburg, W. Va, who
presented it to Mrs. E. G. Johns of
Glasgow, Va. While in her possess
sion small piece OF 1t was cut of
and made into a souvenir work box.
Mrs. Johns kept the relic until 1892,
wien she presented it to Mr.. Brady,
an old alumnus Of the Institute, to
whom we arc greatly indebted for
so valuable prize.
The log Is little over two feet
long and weighs about twenty
pounds. Except for a few cracks a.
one end it is in remarkably gooC
condition, and it is evidently tina
great care has been taken in pre-
serving it. On one corner there i.
tackled an old paper card which pro
badly told more OF Its history, bu
it has becomel so worn out ant
scratched that it is impossible t
read the writing on it.
