THE BLACK JACK GANG LIVES

Several weeks ago the news came
from the Mormon colony in Mexico that
Mrs. Agnes Macdonald. the postmis-
tress in the little settlement where she
lived. had been murdered. Not long
after this came news from FL Paso that
a party of the cOlonists had followed
her murderers, and. overtaking the
gang, which proved to be Black Jacks,
it was ordered to surrender and, refus-
ing, it was exterminated. Some pros
pectors had come upon the dead bodies
and related all the details. When the
news that the Black Jack gang had
been exterminated spread over the
country there was a general feeling Of
relief and satisfaction, and the Nor
mon colonists in Mexico were COM
mended for the work they had done.
All that feeling of relief and satisfac-
ton viii have to be recalled. for the
Black Jack gang lives and flourishes.
Hon. a. W. WINS, formerly of St.
George in this state, but now of Mex
leo. informs US that the story about
the determination of the Black Jack
gang is entirely without foundation.
having been made out of whole cloth.
though he seemed to rather regret that
fact. Mrs. Macdonald was murdered
by couple of Mexicans who had been
working for Mr.. Macdonald, and the
famous gang had nothing whatever to
do with the crime. The murderers were
followed some fifty or sixty miles when
their trail was lost. 1t is the opinion of
Mr.. WINS that the El Paso story was
sent out by parties who are interested
in some enterprises in Mexico, and who
wish to give the impression that there
Is no longer any reason to fear the
of the notorious Black
Jack gang. And this is probably the
correct explanation of a sensational
story having no foundation in fact.
Still, it is a matter of regret that the
gang has not been exterminated.

armed at this time but is to hold itself
in readiness TO respond to any call
made upon it; each member is to be reg
ularly enlisted, there being enlistment
blanks fer that purpose.
In an address delivered by Mr.. w.
oh. Washington, who appears to be
the secretary of the movement. before
the American Institute of Civics, he
said:
1t is the writer's belief that from two
to FIVE millions of loyal. patriotic citi-
zens will be found ready to form part
of this volunteer reserve. Nowhere
compIished In Europe, the army. as q
rule, is so hated that there are no vol
unteers. and for a country like our own
to constantly keep enrolled two million
or more men, willing and ready to serve
their country for their country's sake.
would be another wreath on the brow
of our republic, and a lesson to the ma
tions of the earth in the loyalty of our
people. IT would also be a warning to
the world which would insure us free
dom from disturbance by ready insult
or imposition, and thus secure us con-
tinued and uninterrupted enjoyment of
our justly earned prosperity. IT is an
acknowledged fact that the army ena-
bled TO go into battle with the largest
reserve, all other things being equal,
has the advantage. and upon the nu-
merical strength OF IFS reserve depends
its endurance in conflict.
The sentiments are patriotic. but is
the plan practicable. is it even desir-
able? Are we not letting the military
spirit run little wild at this time?
The country is not threatened by any
nation, unless it be Spain, and an en-
rolled, unarmed, undrilled army of two
millions or five millions of men would
not appear to the military nations of
Europe a very terrifying spectacle. And
then all whom 1t is proposed to enlist
are liable to enrolment in the militia,
and were there need for their services,
they would promptly respond to any
call their country might make. The
national volunteer reserve idea is more
patriotic than practicable. 1t will hard
ly receive much encoura cement.

The Standard is aware that it is three
stanzas shy of Mr. Austin's quota, but
under no circumstances would this
newspaper presume to aspire to be
more than half the poet Mr.. Austin is,
anyhow.
Only Montana modesty caused the
Standard to say it is not more than
half the poet Mr.. Austin is; its own per-
Torrance shows that it is at least
three-fifths the poet he is. If this three
ifths is fudge land far be it from us to
say that it is). let it be remembered
that no less an author than Lowell de-
clared Poe to be three-fifths fudge,
though he was willing to allow that
the remaining two-fifths were genius.
Montana has produced great mines,
great race horses and bids fair to pro-
duce great poets.

.eTHE VOICE or AMERICA

MIR. Alfred Austin. poet laureate and
representative of all the race" in Eng
land, recently emitted few notes of
song and called them THE Voice of
England" There was considerable
taffy in his song, if not much sweet
ness. This Voice of England has
stirred the soul of the poet-edtor of
the Anaconda Standard and he bursts
into song with THE Voice of America. -
1t is a good voice, musical and well
modulated. After a proper and truly lit
erary and learned introduction. THE
Voice OF England is quoted in full,
then follow these comments and The
Voice of America
1t viii be observed that 1.-THE Voice of
England" is no still, small voice. nor a
delicately modulated soprano voice, but
a deep, laundering bass voice. We suS-
pect that there are people who don't
know any better than to call these
verses commonplace. But just take
that rugged last line, "And our friend
ship last long as love doth last and be
stronger than death is strong" What
greater strength and virility could be
asked in poetry than are here eXempli-
fed? The anapeSt no sooner presents
itself than it is promptly challenged
by spondee and an iambic TO TRAN
gular Graeco-Roman wrestling match,
and all three instantly go at 1t hot and
heavy, the anapest finally shaking off
its antagonists and continuing proudly
on its way rejoicing. AS to the senti-
ment expressed in the line. the hyper
critical might say that if our friendship
with England doesn't last any longer
than the average duration of n 1T of
love. it's all off with the big entente
good bye. John Bull. Others might
stick their noses up in the air and aver
that. generally speaking, death is
strong only in the sense that butter
and eggs are sometimes strong, but, as
before suggested. anybody who viii Sc
riously find fault with Mr.. Austin on
these or similar grounds, does not and
cannot appreciate him.
The Voice OF England" is entitled to
prompt and courteous answer. it
mustn't be voice crying in the wilder
ness and as all the American poets are
busily engaged-as they care not who
goes to the front and gets shot TO pieces
as long as they stay home and write
the country's war songs-the Standard
modestly submits the following as a
temporary relief measure:
