Kansas, for in few years the man
who who owns such plant will ask
no odds of any one A company has
been formed here and they have Or
dered a special outfit for putting
down such wells. This will be here
soon and number Of plants will be
added to the five mentioned. The
company has a company working on
a we'll in this city, which should be
called a prospect hole. They are
now down 1850 feet and expect to
go 5000. They struck fair flow
of gas at LOO feet, but not enough
to pay.
In the above l do not wish you to
draw the idea that this is country
where, as our friend Frank Freeman
says, they knock the pea-wees off
the fence with tWenties.' Not at
all. but for the man who wants a
home and is willing 10 do his part,
not afraid of few hardships, let
him come to western Kansas and
cast his lot. AS for myself, l have
not made anything big, still can not
complain. Twice I have been elected
county attorney, have added Kan
sas sunflower to my flock, which
gives me three little ones. The wife
and ! have never been sick to speak
of, so why should / complain. Should
you ever get out this way, will be
pleased to have you call and see me,
and take my word, will show you a
good time.
Yours truly,
Frank J. Horton.

WOODROW WILSON
ON ORGANIZATION
Governor of New Jersey Believes
in Honest Leadership of Big
Political Parties.
FIGHTS ONLY THE BOSSES"
He Says the Whole Country 10 Now
Turning to the Democracy and
Looks to It for Future
Success,

There has been much talk by the op-
ponents Of Gov. Woodrow Wilson Of
New Jersey to the effect that he Is
opposed to all political organization.
Whether the governor took cognlz-
ance Of these statements or not, in
his speech at Woodbury., N. J, he de-
clared himself In unmistakable terms.
After announcing his opposition to the
control of organizations by small
groups Of men, he said: "Organiza.
ton is necessary to victory. Men
must understand each other and get
used to each other, and therefore they
must organize. One man cannot plan
for party, or carry out party's
plans alone: he must be helped by the
suggestions of others. But an organ
ization must be formed for the serv-
ice of the state and not to help indi-
viduals.
"All over the United States the peo-
pie are organizing and reorganizing.
They are tired of having meddling
middle men interfere between them
and their affairs, and are determined
to take the business of government in
their own hands. But they want union
and leadership. They wish to replace
the boss Of the past with leader, a
progressive patriot who will lead them
to prosperity and happiness and good
government.
you can see tho trend Of tho times
in the organization Of clubs to carry
out their ideas. These clubs are due
to the spontaneous desire Of men to
get together in the interests of good
government. There are and have been
political clubs formed for the pur-
pose of keeping certain men in power
who use that power for their own ends
and purposes; but tho clubs Of which
I speak are not Of that kind.
''The whole country is turning to tho
Democratic party and looks to it for
future success. I am heart and soul
with the organization Of the Demo
cratic party. In the campaign we are
about to enter upon, such an organiza-
ton will be needed, and we will carry
tho old party to higher levels and
achieve 4 great victory"

A Letter From Frank Horton.
Kan, March 4, 1912.

Goocland, Kan, March 4, 1912.
Friend Hull:-Well l must admit
that am ashamed of myself; here
have been without The Reporter for
ever two months and all on account
of my carelessness, but enclosed you
will find a check for $3.50 and you
might dig up few of the issues
have missed and send them along on
my subscription, I will read them
This has been very hard winter
for western Kansas, as the ground
has been covered with snow for the
past ten weeks and it is still with us.
AS there was no crop. last year, not
even feed, the farmers are having a
hard time, having to buy what is
shipped in. This, to an Iowa farmer,
looks mighty bad. OF course it is
had, still they will get through and
as everything points to good crop
this year, they will make it up and
more with it. / have been out here
five years and during that time
have had a good chance to Judge
what one can do if you will try and
with all the backsets taken into con-
sideratiOn I feel that western Kan
sas or eastern Colorado offers a good
chance for the poor man. The great
failure is made in trying to raise
wheat on a large scale. One comes
here from the east and the first thing
that he falls into is the wheat idea,
for he hears the talk and tales of big
money that has been made, then it is
for a large acreage of wheat and
nothing less than 400 to 500 acres
will satisfy. If the first year he
makes it, more next year, but the
chances are that he goes broke the
Arst year, or sure on the second, and
ern Kansas gets hers. Now the
farmer who comes here, rents his
land, gets bunch of stock, horses,
tand let me say that this is the finest
horse country one could wish for)
cows and good milk pail, which he
must expect to use, and a good bunch
Of poultry, then gives his farming at
tention to raising feed, such as, milo,
maze, kaffir corn, cane and other
feed crops, such as man will soon
find that he is Independent. .~@
The school of both Kansas and
Colorado are the best. No school in
this state of less than months. The
water cannot be beat, and fine
climate. We have winds and hard
ones, but that is one of the draw
backs which go in with the country.
You will note that I said for the new
conner to rent land. This is like all
other localities, has real estate men
and most men who have come here
and bought could have we'll afforded
to wait and buy later, but the big
chance is over in Colorado where one
can get a homestead of 800 acres
from the government, which, is only
Is miles from us, ours being one of
the western counties of Kansas
Another thing that will bring this
country to the front is irrigation.
Ninety-five per cent of. our land is
level and on thousands of acres water
can be had at less than SO feet, from
that to 200 feet. When ] say water,
] mean an amount that will supply
= pump throwing 1000 gallons per
minute. AT this time there are five
such wells being put down in this
county and will be used this summer
for IRRIGATION. can zee no reason

Why He's For Wilson.
Golfers Weekly.

A young southerner, finding himself
some years ago with a comfortable for
tune from his forbears and also a de-
gree from the Boston Institute of Tech
nology, cast about for some useful
means to employ both. He recalled
that his home town was a backward
southern village, still SCARED from the
hardships of the war; that It was
without street cars and electric lights,
while river affording ample sites
for power plants ran close by. He de-
cided to invest his fortune and his en-
cheering skill at home. When his
power plant was almost done he had
to borrow money on bonds. Then he
began to find out a few things. The
machinery became strangely delayed
in shipment. His bonds went up in
price without visible cause, and it was
evident that some one was q heavy
buyer. Bankers who smiled on first
hearing Of his assets would suddenly
chill. A year ago, after five years Of
skillful maneuvering, the fingers Of
those who wanted the power plant
closed upon it and tho young builder
was left with = firm conviction that
tho grip Of Big Business over Big
Money in this country is thing sadly
real. In 1904 he was ardently for
Roosevelt, in 1908 for Taft. Tho other
day he made q special trip to New Jer-
sey to pledge to Woodrow Wilson all
of the time he could spare. and all of
the resources he could raise, because
Of Governor Wilson's opinions on the
money trust and also because of con-
fldence In theN Governors ability to
help to shake itE grip.

TWO GRAVES
FOR One BODY

SEAFORD. Del. June 17.-There is
an empty grave in the little colored
cemetery Of Laurel, where should rest
the remains of Mrs. Madoro Roach,
colored, Of Wilmington who was kill
ed on Thursday morning by her hus-
band, Alfred Roach The dead woman
formerly lived in Seaford and also had
relatives at laurel After her death
had become known graves were dug i {
both places and arrangements were
made for the burial yesterday.
When the body arrived at the local
station it was taken off and inferred
in the colored cemetery here, while
the Laurel relatives wept bitterly and
tried to compel the undertaken 10
bring the body down there. The Lau-
rel relatives will try to have the body
disinterred and it is likely the State
will be called upon to designate the
rightful resting place.
