"Actually, that country clown is trying on, right here in New York, the same primitive methods that real estate boomers use in the soggy South and the woolly West. Would you believe it? Come have a look." Well, say, it wa'n't easy gettin' near enough, at that.
For the scout's hands had not yet been lifted skyward. "This looks as if you meant to arrest me, captain." "Why shouldn't I? You are at the head of the Kansas boomers, are you not?" "I have that honor, yes." "It's a question to me if it is an honor. You are transgressing the laws of the United States when you try to get into Oklahoma for homestead purposes."
No matter, however, what were the motives of the "boomers," as they were called from the first, it is certain that they went to work in a business-like manner, planned a regular invasion, and formed a number of colonies or small armies for the purpose.
For into this man's office had come the men of the mines, the factories and the mills, the promoters of vast irrigations on prairies, builders of railroads, real estate plungers, street traction promoters, department store owners, newspaper proprietors, politicians the builders and boomers, the strong energetic men of the land.
But other public lands were now scarce, or less inviting, and as far back as 1879, when Lahoma was five years old, colonies had formed in Kansas City, in Topeka and in Texas, to move upon the Oklahoma country. The United States troops had dispersed the "boomers," but in the following year the indefatigable Payne succeeded in leading a colony into the very heart of the coveted land.
Paine is the first American writer who had a literary style, and we have not had so many since but that you may count them on the fingers of one hand. Here is a little tribute from Paine's pen to America which some of our boomers of boom towns might do well to use: America has now outgrown the state of infancy.
"Where is the boomers' camp?" she faltered, hardly knowing how to answer him. "Camp ten miles from here," came the short reply. "You here all alone with Yellow Elk." At this the frightened girl gave a scream of terror. "You base wretch!" she sobbed. "Take me back at once." "No take back Yellow Elk no fool.
And let's give them a tax credit to make that choice an affordable one. When the Baby Boomers retire, Medicare will be faced with caring for twice as many of our citizens and yet it is far from ready to do so. My generation must not ask our children's generation to shoulder our burden. We must strengthen and modernize Medicare now.
The Davis boomers were paralyzed. The earth seemed to have risen and hit them midships. The incoming delegates were arrested and forewarned. Six months of adroit scheming was set at naught, and little more was heard of "D. Davis."
Yet, with even-handed justice he kept the land boomers also out of these coveted lands, until the Dawes Act of 1887 allotted the tribal lands to the Indians in severalty and threw open the remainder to the impatient homeseekers. Waiting thousands were ready at the Kansas line, eager for the starting gun which was to let loose a mad stampede of crazed human beings.
