WARREN IN WAR

In spite OF the fact that wal is all that General Sherman said
ii was, it is one of the greatest developers the world has known.
The civil war was no exception to this rule. AT its close thousands
upon thousands of soldiers spread over the great West, took advant-
age of the homestead law, proved the agricultural possibilities of
Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and the Dakotas,
built cities, and opened to civilization a vast empire upon the great
American desert.
Francis E. Warren. the New England farm boy, took advantage
the regulations would permit him to enlist, a meeting was to be
held in the hall of the Hinsdae academy, for the purpose of secur-
ing recruits. When the call was made for men to come forward
ana sign their names, he started at once for the stand. Here he
confronted by his father. Emory" he said, ~ knew yu would he
here, and knew you would enlist. Further know / connot stop
1t. 10 tell you the truth, l should have been very much disappointed
II you had not been here, and as it is l am proud of it, and have no
objections to offer. On the contrary l will do all that car y aid
you"
Francis was assigned to Company c of the 10Th Massachusetts
volunteers, his battalion being ordered for training at Pittsfed. and
atterward forming a portion of the 10Th army corps. During his
hrst engagement, at Plains store, the column in front of him was
routed, and the men fell back on his own regiment, disorganizing
its ranks and causing a partial stampede to the rear. 1t was a sight
that would have tried the nerves of the stoutest veteran, as the rem
nant OF the 49th came into action, emerging from the cover of a
WOOD, Dehnd them their flying comrades, and the ground in front
covered with the dead and dying; with men and horses mutilated
horribly, and with broken wagons and trumbrils,
There are moments in a battle when even the hravest men on
either side, after putting forth their utmost efforts, feel disposed
to run. Such moments a skilful commander readily detects, and it
Is by taking prompt advantage of them that victories are won. Many
a soldier, whose courage had never before been questioned, has on
these occasions turned his back in an instant of panic, and thereby
forfeited his reputation and sef-respect. AS for Francis. it must
be confessed, and that by n means to his discredt, that his first
impulse was to withdraw with all haste to safer quarters. But
quickly he recovered himself. After all, imagine, he reasoned
with himself that 1t was but a question of nerve, and never could
he again have held up his head; never could he meet his fathers
gaze, IT he should now be found wanting in the hour of trial.
At DonadsonvIle he was also present, and at the engagements
before Fort Hudson. During the siege of the latter the 10th was
ordered to furnish a contingent for each company, for the dangerous

happy.
Before the primaries w years ago, Mr.. Goppert canvassed the county
thoroughly, extending a glad hand to the honest farmer and kissing his
baby. The most remote ranches enjoyed a visit from him and there were
few voters who were OF given the pleasure and privilege of meeting him.
"LMw Enforcement was his slogan and n will deny but that after
his election he lived up to it. He has been infatigabe in endeavoring to
enforce the prohibitory law in Park county. Nothing pertaining to liquor
violation has been too much trouble, too expensive, too small for his at
tention. The last court docket contained a long list of petty liquor viola
ton cases which turned the district court into a police court and cost the
taxpayers thousands of dollars. He obtained two convictions vi of nearly
40 cases or the docket
His activities however, pleased the prohibitonEts and in the recent
primaries he made his campaign upon his record. In addition to his record
and his wide acquaintance, he had the advantage of having as his opponent
a young ma who has been admitted to the bar but a few months, who was
practically unknown outside his social circle and who made no campaign
to speak of. Yet MI. Gopperts majority a but 10 votes
While W marvel at it, e envy Mr. Goppert his ability to find 10 much
satisfaction where there would cen sc little to warrant il.
