A Golden Spike

This week Secretary Freese of the
Golden Belt receivd a goldn spike to
be used in laying the first rail on that
new railroad to the Gulf, if it is ever
built
''Mr. Freese: 1 see they are talk
ing of a new railroad to connect the
Pacific Ocean with the Gulf of Mex
leo across the Fl. Hays Reservation
from Hays. I was soldier there in
the 7O's and one day in walking on
the track down near old Rome,
picked up railroad spike that the
trackmen pulled out in fixing the
track, and have always kept it as a
remembrance. 1 have gilded it and
if that road is built let Mr.. Schlyer,
for I remember him there, drive it as
the first spike to connect the two
oceans across old Fort Hays 1 am
now living out in Oregon"
Mr. Freese says he has it hung up
in the company Office and it will be
used at Great Bend when the first
rail is laid connecting with the Santa
Fe railroad track leading to the Gulf
of Mexico and New Orleans.

New York Attorney Remembers
When We Were Wild
and WooIu

Il note in a recent issue of your
local paper writes Appleton l..
Clark, Attorney, 40 Wall ST., New
York City, to the Chamber of Com
merce, ''that you have recently issued
a Souvenir Booklet. If you have a
copy to spare and feel disposed to let
me have it, I would be very glad to
receive it. My father during his life
time was well acquainted with the
early history of Hays and was one of
the founders, with George Grant, of
Victoria. Personally I was in Hays
and Victoria in 1875 and anything
pertaining to your locality is of ex-
IRENE interest to me. In those days

read the chapter through and, laying
down the book, looked at their tired
faces with a sigh.
Gentlemen, why don't you
laugh?" he exclaimed. with the
fearful strain that is upon me night
and day, if did not laugh I should
die; and you need this medicine as
much as l."
So saying, he turned to his tan hat,
which was on the table, and drew out
of it what Stanton described as a
''little white paper"
That little white paper was the
Emancipation Proclamation.
We shall need to keep our sense of
humor bright and active in the four
years that lie ahead And when the
tension is most severe, then we shall
need most to remember the great
brooding figure who was never TOO
brooding, never too worried to Tough.
And, finally, he would urge US to
take a new, frmer hold on our faith.
He stopped in Buffalo on his way
to Washington. The war clouds were
already gathering; mems hearts were
heavy with fear. And there he spoke
these words:
''Allow me to say that you, as
portion of the great American people,
need only to maintain your compos-
ure, stand up to your sober convic-
tions of right and act in ac-
cordance with those sober convic-
tions, and the clouds on the horizon
will be dispelled, and we shall have
bright and glorious future. And
when this generation has passed away
tens of thousands will inhabit this
country where only thousands inhabit
it now"
"Tens of thousands will inhabit
where only thousands inhabit now
his prediction has been fulfilled a
hundredfold There can be no
permanent place for pessimism in
nation that, only little more than a
century ago, was vacant land and to-
day has cities of millions and ma
tional wealth greater than that of
any other people in the world. Prices
rise and fall; the curve of business
fiuctuates from week to week and
month to month. But those who take
the long look know that there is only
one way that the curve can move
over a period of years. and that is
up. Children are born, immigrants
come, the earth yields her wealth;
and the volume of business must in
crease, for human wants and human
wealth go on multiplying side by
side
We need many things in the next
four years. Laws, international I'M
derstandings, financial readjustments,
better industrial relations. But, most
of all, we need to remember that
every material problem is spiritual
problem at bottom; that in it's solu-
ton, not a formula, but spirit, is the
great essential. And every President
has a right to expect from US what
Lincoln would surely ask-common
sense, patience, tolerance, good
humor, and an overmastering faith.
Sixty years ago this week he left
his little home to shoulder the heav-
lest burden in the world. Who will
stand with Lincoln today and believe
in the United States ?-Collier's

Fort Hays was maintained and l re-
call one occasion when some OF the
officers and their wives came down to
Victoria, where we were staying, for
dinner. The ladies came in one of
the Army ambulances and the men

Lieutenant Rucker, showed me bull
let hole through the hoof of his horse.
It made such an impression on my
boys mind that it is one of the things
which I particularly remember. We
lived, during our visit, in the station
at Victoria. The building was com
parativeiy new and recall that out
side of the Railroad Station and the
adjoining corrals no improvements or
buildings of any kind were to be
