HE HAS GONE.
Banjo Jimmy" VIII Make His Home in
Southern Ca .ifornia.

Southern California.
Missoula, Nov. 11.-"Banjo Jimmy"
has gone. He left on last Saturday
night for his new home in California
and Mfssoula has lost another land
mark. The old fellow came very near
NOT getxdng away. He was on time all
right but there was some uncertainty
about the right of the ticket agent to
accept a government check in pay
ment for a ticket The result was that
II was only 10 minutes before train
time that THE old fellow got his ticket.
Then he was as happy as lord.
Judge Uanders had charge of the de-
tails of Jlmmy's departure and he had
his hands full. The money for his pas
sage was in three checks. One of
these was for his ticket to Portland
and this was used here. The other
two were to be used to get him from
Portland to San Francisco and from
there to Los Angeles. These two
checks Judge Danders placed in Jim
my's inside pocket and pinned them
securely to the lining.
Then there was the sum of $3.50,
which had been allowed the traveller
as spending money. The judge didn't
know exactly what Ito do with that but
he finally took his charge into an
empty box car and made him pull of
one boot and stocking. Fifteen dollars
in bills was placed in the stocking
and Jimmy dressed again. He was
allowed Ito have $3.50 in coin to Jingle
in hfs pockets. The old chap looked
20 years younger than he did a week
ago and his old friends had to look
at him twice before they recognized
him. He was as spruce as a man of
40 and was full of talk about his trip
and his future home on the southern
coast He was finally located In a
comfortable car seat and. as the train
pulled out. Judge Landers drew a long
sigh of relief. The responsibility of
Banjo Jimmpy's welfore was off his
mind.

LOVERS OF TRUE SPORT.

The first National Schuetzenfest held in
America, now closing at New York, has
attracted great deal OF attention through
out the country, just as the recent Califor-
MIA funniest at Los Angeles was regarded
as one of the most interesting gatherings of
amateur athletes that this coast has ever
seen. Although the National affair at New
York was confined to shooting, it has a
most significant aspect as showing the
growing interest in the German idea of
sport in America. Undoubtedly the great
Schuetzenfest is merely the beginning of a
movement which will lead to an. annual
National gathering representing all the
sports which the German race in America
is fostering. and when that happens we
shailsee something as wonderful as the
0lympiads of Greece.
: 1t will be a welcome day which sees the
domination of German ideas in the Ma
tional sports of America. Already this in
iuence is largely felt, and it is extending
with a quiet and unconscious persIstency
which few of US pause to realize. The Ger
mans in America are so unaggressive. and
confine themselves so strictly to the Quieter
walks of life. that the influence of their
very large representation in this country is
likely TO be: overlooked. They have very
little to do with politics, occupy an exceed
ingly small share of attention as law
breakers, and in popular literature in the
English tongue make little effort to be
conspicuous. But in the higher arts, such
as music painting and sculpture, and in
all of the sciences, and in profound contri-
buttons to-technical and scientific journals
printed in English, they exercise tremen-
dous influence upon the culture of the
country.
1t is almost exclusively as a lover of "a
tlonal sport that the German appears con-
spicuous in the eyes of the Nation. 1t would
be difficult TO find town of more than
5000 inhabitants that does not support
turn verein, and in these training-schools of
athletics all classes of Germans find COM
mon social level. The most pleasant fea-
ture of these institutions is their racial
democracy. One does not have TO be of
German birth or parentage to belong to
them, but one must be orderly and we'll
hammered TO secure membership. In the
shooting scores of the National Schuetzen-
fest for instance, we find. such names as
Collins, Dolan, Pope, Mike Dorsey, Furniss.
Jones, Keith and many others sandwiehed
in among the German.
Our German citizens are fully aware that
the peculiar levity with which they treat
Sunday somewhat CRATES on the average
American sense of fitness. Almost inyari-
ably their ordinary local feasts and sport
ing contests are held on that day, with the
usual accompaniment of beer and some
times dance. This seems so natural and
proper TO them. and generally 70 all
other Europeans in America. that they
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-07-03

seem unwilling to forego it for any advan-
tage which they might secure on the score
of advancing their influence by abandon
ing it. They feel naturally that as their
sports are wholesome and rational. and
that as their Sunday outings are never dis
graced by rowdyism, and that as they gen.
orally become American citizens and are
among our strongest defenders of law and
order, and are strictly upright in social
and private life, they have right TO con-
tlnue in America the practices which the
traditions of their German homes have
taught them to regard as right. And, as,
further, Sunday is the only day on which
majority of them can find leisure to prac-
tice these enjoyments, it would be useless
to argue with them that they could accom-
plish far more. good with the general COM
munity by selecting some other day. This
subject would not have been mentioned
did it not seem to have so important a
bearing on the great influence for good in
elevating and refining popular American
sports which they are able 10 exercise.
We do NOT find them encouraging prize
fighting and other gross, brUtal and de-
mcralizing sports. They are not gamblers,
and their festivals have never the least
faint OF rowdyism. To-day they are the
masters and leading opponents OF whole
some athletic sports which always are
benefieial; and the further their influence
in this regard is extended the better for
the country.

TO CHECK HIGHWAYMEN.

The frequent recent robbery OF the Ager
stage seems to demand uncommon meas
ures. for the protection of the remoter
highways. The Klamath River is the
natural highway to very fertile region of
great extent in Northeastern California
and Southeastern Oregon-the vast grassy
basin of the klamath Lake region-and
besides q popular and beneficial hot
springs resort on the route and the fine
fishing which the river furnishes, the road
leads into a country offering superior in
ducements to settlement. The stage
which has been so frequently robbed car
ries the United States mails, and money
and other valuables forwarded by Wells,
Fargo & Co.'S express. The holding up of
the stage is defiance of the General
Government.
In these wild, vast and sparsely settled
areas of California and Oregon it is impos-
sible for the Sheriffs to give adequate pro-
lection to the highways, which often
traverse twenty to forty miles without
coming in sight OF a human habitation.
The people Of the counties could not afford
TO pay a tax sufficient to provide an ade-
quate patrol. The express company gen.
orally furnishes the stage with an armed
man who serves as guard, but this duty is
no more incumbent on il than on the
State or the Federal Government. The
expense Of the shotgun" messenger has
TO DE charged to the local service, and thus
the people have to bear an unjust burden.
Even the messenger, efficient as he has
shown himself many time to be, is the
crudest and least wise of ali conceivable
protective measures, as he is engaged to
protect only one of the many vehicles that
traverse the highway, leaving all others
either to defend themselves or abandon
the read and seek homes in better pro-
teeted communities. In this way the de-
velopment of the remoter regions, many
of which are exceedingly rich in natural
resources, is immeasurably retarded.
In. view of these facts it is immensely
amusing to read of the great pains taken
by the Government TO protect" the vari-
Gus National parks of California from
invasion by focks of sheep. A more gro
tesone in-balancing of rights and equities
could not be imagined. Because some
popular magazine has fad of urging the
patrolling OF National parks to protect this
or that singular natural curiosity, the
troops stationed on the Pacific have to
patrol the almost inaccessible Sierra and
Leave the main highway of travel and

enough, but if done at the sacrifice of
