Trego Center

From the Blue Ribbon Wanderer:
Well, l thought 1 would write a
few lines about my trip. On May
25th / went to Ness City, took train
from there next morning for Hutch
inson, arrived there at HOO a. m,
took train from there at $50 p. m.
for Stratford, Texas. / remained
there a week and took several buggy
and auto rides, and as 1 needed exer-
else took several long walks, so ] saw
the country and talked with good
many people. The people are GER
tainly very hospitable down there
and will treat a fellow right. w. A..
Smith and J. F. Gunckel were enjoy
ing themselves and are getting fat.
Smith said he had gained 30 pounds
while here and that all his old clothes
were too small for him, so l did not
deem it safe to stay long for | don t
know what / would have done if my
clothes had worn out or got too
small for me.
Decoration Day was observed there
but quite different than here; there
the blue and the grey marched side
by side and the Union flag and rebel
flag were carried side by side to the
cemetery where all exercises took
place; in the march the small child
rem were placed in the lead; this
seemed very proper as the good book
says, "a child shall lead Them" What
we northerners didn't like was that
the rebel flag floated high above the
Union flag on the flag pole. The
greys are in the majority there.
The country is fine and level there
but it is dry, and the town is on the
bum (now, Mr.. Devil, don't say BOOM.
l saw many thousands of cattle
grazing there and saw them shipped
in by the trainloads-as high as 1900
head of yearling steers at a shipment
nearly all of them well bred white
faces Nearly everybody down to the
children have money in their pockets,
and a great many farmers have auto
mobiles. There are no saloons or
pool halls and no card playing is al
lowed not even on the trains in Tex
as, but they said they would play
horseshoes if they had the shoes.
The towns and country along the
Rock Island railroad from Hutchin-
son to Stratford all seemed to be
prosperous; and wheat, though badly
damaged, was looking good since the
rains and would still make from ten
to twenty bushels per acre.
June 3rd l left there for New AL
bany, Kans., where / visited with my
family five days, l celebrated my
birthday there Sunday by going to
church three -Children's Day
exercises at the Methodist church in
the morning; Memorial at the Chris
tian church in the afternoon. and
Children's Day at the Baptist church
in the evening. l was going some
most of the time as there is no rest
for the wicked. l found my family
all well and having plenty of new po-
tatoes and other garden vegetables
and fruits ever since Nav 25th The
wheat harvest started there June
4th and it is fairly good and corn
is fine, some of it five feet high;
alfalfa is immense, but rye and oats
are poor, katir corn is not coming up
well. They need more rain although
pastures were good yet. Well, l will
ring off for the present.
Respectfully.

NUTTING DEFINES
CHARTER POSITION
Alderman Declares He Is in Favor
Of Certain. Changes in the
City's Organic Law

Alderman James Nutting, IN a lette
to The Georgian, defines his position ol
the charter to-day. He says.
Ny position on various pubic
questions has been so frequently
misrepresented by some Of the daily
papers during the past few months
that / have become somewhat ac-
custOmed 70 the experience, but a
statement in your issue of yesterday
was so entirely without excuse or
foundation that l feel compelled 10
ask for a correction. The statement
in effect charged that I was opposed
to any kind Of charter revision. Let
US go to the record
on January 20. the General Coun-
ell adopted a resolution which was
not only offered by me, but which
was prepared by me. and this resolu-
ton provided for thorough revision
Of our charter, this being the first
resolution adopted by the General
Council OF 1918 on the subject Of
charter revision. This resolution was
vetoed by the Mayor, and on March
10 | offered another resolution which
vision OF the charter. on March "a,
another resolution was presented TO
the General Council, and adopted,
which provided for thorough charter
revision, and this resolution also had
my support. and indeed was partly
prepared by me. This consistent
record ought 70 convince any one,
however pTeiudiced. that 7 am ear
nestly and sincerely IN favor OF char
ter revision.
Please bear in mind, however, that
one can be in favor OF revising the
charter, and still be strongly opposed
TO commission government, aud this
il my position, and also the position
of a majority of the General Council.
Allow me TO make one further
statement In reference to the char
ter situation, on March is, thts
being two or three days before the
mass meeting at the Auditorium, /
furnished to The Georgian, TO The
Journal and 20 The Constitution
comics OF the charter submitted by
certain other Council members and
myself with the request that the
charter be published In fun, as we
were anxious for the widest publicity
possible to be given 10 the charter.
The Georgian was courteous enough
to acknowledge receipt Of the char
ter. and to mention the fact in its
columns that the charter had been
made public, but as far as ! have
been able. TO discover neither OF the
other two papers has made the
slightest mention Of the fact that we
had requested the papers to publish
the charter, nor was the charter
published in either OF the three pa
pers.
This statement IS made IN view
Of the fact that Il has been re
ueatedlv charged that we were un-
willing TO have our charter pub
lished. JAMES X. NJ llNG.
