Tuesday, June 12th, found us on our way to the great city
of Louisville, the mecca of which has been heard so much ol
late in every state of our I nion find foreicrn nations onu
Coming Ween" in the metropolis of the blue yrass state
where the sun shines brightest, where the grass is greenest,
the horses swiftest women fairest and whisKey best, politics
the damnedest and men and women most loyal to their state;
therefore, the most patriotic of earth, whose blood has stained
every battlefield in this republic.
Now, as to our trip it. was without incidents, featured with
nothing peculiar nor interesting though we were impressed
with the ureat contrast in field crops compared to our own
Oklahoma, w here corn was tassleing, wheat beirg harvested
and bountiful crops; while in Missouri the corn was not Knee
high and the same way in Illinois, Ind-ana and Kentucky in-
fact I observed many fields not over hand high, and oats
short. It had been very dry oil spiing and plowing was de-
layed. Orchards we took sharp glances into and fruit was
not in evidence, only a scattering crop, v.e can beat them
at home in Oklahoma, and, bad, too. In fact we have just as
good fruit country right here as they have in Missouri- Out
altitude is right, our soil is better, our climate superb. 1
would not exchange with them. I think, from experience, 1
am capable of judging.
In St. Louis wtr met J. W. Huffman, our Prague dentist; we
also called on Mother Hudspeth and Mrs. Gainer. I'rof.
Gainer, I regret, I did not get to see; he was at his college.
We, hustlely, in a business way, visited the offices of the
Southern railway, the Frisco, the Baltimore i\: Ohio and the
Louisville & Nashville railway people and the American Type
Founders, and departed !l p. m. fur IjouisviJle, arriving 9 a. m.
next morning Proceeding straight to the county s head
quarters in the Armory bui'dmg we registered atour county s
headquarters (Russell county .) We lound a new generation
in control. Mr. Lloyd, the commissioner, whose father we
knew in out boyhood, at>d Miss Patterson as hostess -her
father we Knew in the Inst century. We also vi dted the
headquarter <-f \V< vne. Cum hi rland, Adair and Clinton coun-
ties.
most kinfolks, having marr ed in the famil;,
friends and school mates* Among them was Jud
Corydon, Indiana, judge of the 3rd judicial district, on his
second six year term We were raised together, went to
school together, played together. Many incidents were re-
called and more interesting than Blackstone or a problem in
euclid or the effulgence and
adulations oi Adison. I hough twenty-
eight years had flown into the dust of oblivion, yet he reeoir
nized me on sight and promptly spoke my surname Winfitld
as in the schoolboy days of long ago, and 1 knew no better
than to call him Wayne, as of old. It would have been cold
and foreicn to the heart to have called him Judge and I guess
it was the same with him. He had been hunting for me as 1
had for him. He had seen my name on the register. We
parted no more that day. We also met 1 rot. .1 Lllis, of
north Missouri, but our meeting was accidental, but was ap-
preciative after an absence of twenty seven years. Last we
met was in Missouri- He seen me passing through the street
in a wagon in front of several others coming to Kansas. He
said he had wondered about me by the hour as to whether I
was dead or alive and 1 had did the some in regard to him.
We also met .ludge Winfr. y. of Evansville, Indiana, and Sen-
ator Stone, of Kentucky, and others. The truth is, there
were many happy reunions old men shed tears at meeting
old friends and kindred. Men and women from every state
I even from across the ocean, from far away Corea, from Aus-
tralia and from the old world. \ es, they came at the call ot
their people, and governors, generals, admirals, senators,
congressmen, judges and legal lights ol the bar, great divines,
merchant princes, tanners and mechanics from the various
states, who were native Kentucnians, but had moved to oth-
er states and became eminent in the affairs ot state, but still
they would feel insulted to call thein ex-Kentuckians. They
would say they were Kentuekiatis still and some declared
their intention to move buck.
Yes, Kentucky done herself proundlv, especially Louisville.
They received the home-comers with open arms and hearts
and extended a hearty welcome. As Henry W'attcrson said
| in his great speech of welcome, "Once a Kentuckian always a
Kentuckian," and Adlai Stevenssn, of Illinois and ex-Yice-
President of the United States, said tut same thing in an ad-
dress before Lincoln's cabin in Central park, and the same-
was confirmed by Governor Francis, of Missouri, and by lien
eral Bell, commander in ehiet oi the Fnited States Army, who
was a Kentucky home-comer. Infac.t, the home-comers wi re
numerous about 100,000 strong—87,000 registered.
It is wonderful what a mark Kentucky has made in thi
world. Iler sons have rose to distinction in every state
Illinois has profited more by Kentucky brains than any oth-
er state. Ol Kentucky's sons she has had eight governors,
ten United States Senators and con-
grestmeu, one president of the United
atatee—the Immortal Lincoln, and one
vice president, Adlai Ktevenaoo. AI o
Chicago's greatest mayor—Carter Har
rlson, also judges and minor cfticetstoo
numerous to mention.
Missouri has bad eight K ntnckvsons
for governors. eight I'nlted States sen
ators and nineteen oueressmen all lien-

Cleveland's greatest mayor and lit.ao-
