WATTERSON'S TRIB-
UTE TO GREELEY

His candidacy threw a flood of light
and warmth into the arena of deadly
strife; it made more equal and rea-
sonable division of parties possible;
it put the southern half of the coun-
try in a position TO plead its own
case by showing the northern half
that it was not wholly recalcitrant
or reactionary; and it made way FOR
real issues of pith and moment re-
iating to the time instead of pigments
of bellicose and passion and scraps
of ante-bellum controversy.
In word Greeley did more by his
death to complete the work of Lin,
coin than he could have done by a
triumph at the polls and term In
the white house ne so much desired.
Though but sixty-One years of age,
his race was run OF him it may he
truly written that he lived a life full
of inspiration to his eountrymen and
died not in vain, "our later Franklin"
tittingly inscribed upon his tomb.

President Wilson, burdened as he
is, found time to cable from Paris his
endorsement of the Salvation army
home service fund campaign, which
will be conducted during the week of

The cablegram follows:
Commander Miss E. Booth, Personal
Salvation Army,
30 West Fourteenth Street,
New York.
/ am very much interested to
know that the Salvation army is
about to enter into a campaign for
sustaining fund / feel that the
Salvation army needs no commenda-
ton from me. The love and graft
tude it has elected from the troops
is a sufficient evidence of the work
it has done. and feel that I should
not so commend it as to congratu-
late it.
Cordially and sincerely yours,

Will Contribute An Orig.
inal Poem for the
Banner Every
Week

We have been shown copy of
St louis Daily Globe Democrat that
devotes an entire page to the poems,
photographs and a splendid writeup
of the poetical works of Clyde c. Fra,
zier, whose pseudonym is the Poet
Of the Big Sandy"
MIR. Frazier is originally from the
mountains of eastern Kentucky and
he says that a person never loses his
love for the hills and that is why
he hopes some day to return to his
Big Sandy boyhood home.
d ME- Frazier's verses are for the
most part sketches either of the
country with which he is SO famil
lar or of the people of these hills or
poems of love.
One of Mr.. Frazier's poems is char
acteristic of the change in the Big
Sandy valley, wrought by the dis
covery of oil, coal and gas. 1t is in
part, as follows
There's Susie Brown from Virgins
Ford
She used to wear bright red
But now she's dressed quite fashion
ably
In palest blue instead
And Uncle Jeff-God bless his soul
Dressed up in homespDn Jeans;
Pm wrong He wears a 'broadclOth
coat
And drives his own machine.
He used to have a ramblin' cart
That logged along right slow;
But that was fore he drilled for oil.
Why, it was years ago.
Another of his poems is a delight
full one entitled, ''Visitin' Back Home"
and is as follows:
Oh ] want to go visitin'
Again tomorrow morn
want to be lourneyin'
Back home-where was porn;
An l want to live my boyhood
With its maze of golden days,
Rompin' everywhere barefooted,
Free in fancy's million ways.
I'd like to go where other kids are
Rompin' thru the meadows now;
An in summer time I'd follow
Dad behind his busy pillow.
Margaret Ann would come paradin'
Once again at our back door
Just to gossip bout tn neighbors
With my mother as of yore
Uncle Tom would come a haulin
Daily loads of anthracite,
''Stockni up while leaves are rallin
For tn long, long wint'ry nights
An again I'd hop his wagon
Never noticing tn cold
Till to rid him of my begin
by his side tn lines I'd hold.
Or tn golden joys of summer
Who could tell just which were best ?
Thru tn afternoons we'd wander
Bent on childhood's aimless quest:
Buildin' dams in hunnin branches
Where our ships we'd sail away-@
Pirate ships of youngsters fancies-
The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1919-05-09

Made Of leaves and straws of hay.
Where tn spring welled up in ianguor
Sparklin' hector, crystal clear
Sphawlin' oft I've watched tn tremor
OF tn waves a circlin' near,
Made by me when deeply drinkin'
Of tn water sweet an cold
While below crawdads go skimperin'
Backing quick-like in their holes
I'd dig up tn ball bat dusty
Marbles, tops an fishin' lines
Gun sings, kites, an jack knives
rusty
All possessions dear of mine.
Overalls all patched an faded
Soon I'd be slippin' on,
An the split straw long discarded
BOylike eagerly I'd don.
Saturdays with mothers bakin'
Pies an sweet cakes g Custard,
too
While us kids would stand awaitin'
Hungrily, till she was thru.
Sunday 's-with tn table grOanin'
With it's wealth of things to eat
Chicken baked all brown an golden
Honey amber brown an sweet.
Oh | want to go viSltln'
Again tomorrow morn
But there'l always be missin'
Back at home tn old time charm.
All tn folks that's left are dearer
Than tn old days past and gone;
Still there's those I'll miss forever
When I'm visitin' back home.
Mr.. Frazier has received a great
many complimentary and f1attering
comments on his poems among them
being the following:
Gene Stratton Porter, the bird wo-
man and author of the world famous
Limberlost stories, says:
Your poems remind me strongly
of James Whitcomb Riley, which is
the highest praise | can bestow upon
them"
ballard Fontaine, art connisieur
and minister to Egypt under ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt, says of his poems:
Il have spent time in the digestive
process of your poems and l find
that they will bear acquaintance. l
am going to say to you what l said
to Homer Watson twenty-five years
ago-'stick to it. Homer Watson's
landscapes today must be covered an
inch deep with twenty dollar gold
pieces 1 am proud to number you
among my friends
Ethel Hueston, author OF the Pru-
dence books, says: Il not only find
the Thoughts worth reading without
skipping but worth corner in the
big envelope book where ! keep only
things worth keeping. / am looking
for some more
Mr.. Frazier has received many
more most encouraging endorsements

ter of this paper great pleasure, to

THE POETS AND THE
TREES OF FLORIDA

Bayard Taylor's poem, THE Arab and
His Horse"
Next to we both / love the palm.
With his leaves of beauty, his feet Of
balm;
Next to We both / love the tree
Whose fluttering shadows wraps as

With love, and silence, and mystery"
Picture the oak, one of the great
trees of Florida, tree of which Dry
den said;
THE monarch oak, the patriarch of
the trees.
Shoots rising up, and spreads by
slow degrees;
Three centuries he grows, and three
ne stays
Supreme in state; and in three more
decays.
Picture garden with Strawberries
ripe in the open air at Christmas
time.
Picture the banana plant with is
long green leaves waving N mild
breezes when the northern country
, is covered with snow.
Picture the delicate shrubs ard
house plants of the north obtaining
the dignity of trees towering to the
housetops.
Picture vegetables and flowers in
every month growing in the open All
AS Park Benjamin said:
Flowers are Loves truest language;
they betray,
Like the divining rods of Magi old,
Where precious wealth lies buried
not of gold,
But love-strong love, that never can
decay"
Picture a country where fuel and
heavy winter clothing are secondary
matters
Picture a country where you can
raise a crop of potatoes, to be follow
ed with acrop of corn, two important
crops in the same ground in the same
year. And third, even a fourth
crop, may follow these two
Picture a country where livestock
and poultry can be easily produced
"a country Astounding in wild bird life

DO We neer think what wondrous

Do you ne'er think who made them
and who taught
The dialect they speak, where melo-
dies
Alone are the interpreters IF
thought?
Whose household words are songs in
many keys,
Sweeter than instrument of man eer
caught?"
Picture these things IN a state with
railroads running to all important
centers and with access TO the soa
in the use of ships to. all parts of the
world, an access not equaled by any
other state, a state nearest to the
West Indies, South America and the

There's million of acres of vacant

state bordered with more sea coast

JAYHAWKERS ON |. OF N.
Topeka Literary Club Takes Sides in
Warm Debate Over Plan.

Following a paper by w. P. Williams
before the Jayhawker club at the
monthly dinner at the Elks club last
evening the members of this organ MIA
ton staged one of the warmest debates
in its history. The entire club, with
two exceptions, lined up against Otis
Allen and James A. Mcclure, who up
held the plan of a league of nations.
1t was brought out in the discussion
that seven years ago the JayhaWker
club outlined a league of nations idea
very much similar to the information
ally known league of today.
One of the interesting guests of the
club last night was John Bowie of
Drumfries. Scotland, nephew of
Thomas Page of Topeka, and a cousin
of David Page, a member of the club.
Mr.. Bowie when called upon for a dis
cussion said in part:
Il don't know when I have enjoyed
an evening like 1 have this one. When
L go back to Scotland 1 am going to
try to organize a club of young men
like thiS-a club where national dis
cussions may be ironed out and talked
over freely. 1 am afraid, however,
that you in America don't understand
Europe the value of a league of ma
tons"
J. NJ. Barrie, secretary of the Metro
po1itan Life Insurance company of
New York, was a guest last night. He
gave one of the most humorous after
dinner talks ever heard by the club
members.
Capt r. s. FiIlius of Denver, a
guest of Lieut.. George McDermott,
spoke before the club. Robert Stone
also was a guest of the club last night

FIGHTING GOOD ROADS
Progressive Men of Reno County Try
to Stop All Road Building.


Hutchinson, March 18.-Suit was to
be filed in the Reno county district
court here this afternoon asking a re-
straining order and injunction against
the construction of ha -d-surfaced
roads in Reno county and attacking
the constitutionality of the law which
provides that counties and benefit dis
tricts may vote bonds for the con-
struction of such roads.
The suit will be brought in the name
of Frank Fields, former state senator.
who is president of the Reno County
Taxpayers league, organized three
months ago for the purpose of fight
ing excessive taxation in general and
the hard-road law in particular. An
nouncement of the preparation of the
petition was made tonight by Carr
Taylor, attorney for the league. Judge
f. l.. Martin, representative from
Reno county, will be employed as one
OF the attorneys in the case, Mr.. Tay-
Tor said
Claim Law Confiscatory.
The law which provides for the con-
struction of hard-surfaced roads is
confiscatory, according to Mr.. Taylor,
and the suit is based on the theory
that there is no constitutional author
-ity whereby mans property may
be taken from him without the pro-
cess of law.
This suit will be of interest to every
county in Kansas, because, if it is de-
cided that the law is unconstitutional,
road propositions providing for hard
surfacing hundreds of miles of high
ways will be made null and void.
