END or THE YoUNoERs.

The suicide of Jim Younger marks the
end Of desperate gang There Will, per
haps, be those who will heave sigh OF
sympathy and indulge maudlin sentiment
Of regret that the notorious outlaw has per
ished so miserahly, but no right thinking
man can fail to see that the only thing to
regret Is that the life and influence Of the
evildoer has been SO prolonged.
The Toungers were robbers and murder
ers.
They had no more excuse for their crimes
than any other man has in this country OF
boundless opportunities.
The guerilla warfare in which they had
been previously engaged on the side OF the
Confederacy was ifself discreditable. That
kind Of lighting has been condemned in al
civilized countries, and 1t never had the in.
dorsement Of the Confederate government
It was outlawry, pure and simple, What
the Youngers and Jameses are said to have
suffered under reconstruction thousands of
worthier ex-Confederate soldiers suffered
Wrong was the rule of those days hut the
patriotic southerner endured It with patience
for his oountrys sake.
The Youngers and their kind went upon
career OF revenge which speedily degener
ated into career Of ordinary brigandage
Lese deserving in their original conduct
than any other who fought for the cause Of
the oonfederacy, 80 far from being entitled
e any sympathy they were deserving Of al
condemnation, for they brought further dis
credit upon the cause under which the,
eloaked their outrages.
In Southern annals their exploits hay,
no place but the chronicle Of bold. blacl
crimes without excuse Of any sort.

CURRENT POLITICS.

stirred up by the coal strike. There is no sound
democratic doctrine in public ownership or in
the application OF it in the way suggested"
Governor La Toilette of Wisconsin is also
among the reformers In one of his campaign
speeches he said The time has come when
tariff revision must stand close guard over tariff
schedules This revision must guard American
labor from free competition with cheaper foreign
labor and yet take the place Of supposed compe-
ttion"
Referring to the elamor for special session

Gus men were always present at these
celebrations in this territory.
TON Tobin was quite an interesting
character in those days, and was a
partner Of Kit Carson. A story is told
CT how Tobin captured a couple Oh
native desperadoes on one OF these
events. 1t was near the Sangre de
Cristo range, Tobin with a party were
on a march across the country. A tnou-
sand dollars reward was offered for a
native named Espinosa n his son.
Tobin saw a raven circling In the air
above a forest. Watch that raven
he said, and wherever it lights there
is meat of some kind
Everyone kept an eye on the raven,
and advancing closer saw smoke arls-
ing from between the trees. Crawling
on their hands and knees they advanc
ed within a few PAGES of the outlaws.
They refused to surrender and were
shot through the head. The heads of
the desperadoes were carried back to
the camp in a bag, which Tobin retains
to this day. This will give you an
idea of the way we lived in those days.

which relate to the strenuous life OF
the early days. Thanksgiving was al
ways an event of great interest among
the plainsmen, because it was seldom
we could always get together and
feast and enjoy ourselves"
