Has DRAWING CARD.


When the show was formed, Il was
decided to have Younger and Frank
James as drawing cards. James was
employed at the outset, and no for.
malities had to be gone through In
bringing this about. 1t was not so
with Younger. To get around the
technical point In his parole he was
made the manager OF the enterprise.
1t was to be his duty to be at the
door, where he was on exhibition all
the time. although the point was got
around. The show stared out with
the brightest OF prospects. but James
and Younger were not the drawing
cards that It was believed they would
be. II was found shortly after the
show started out that the country
preachers and newspapers did not at
all relish the idea OF these famous ex-
bandits travelling through the coun-
try. They had an erroneous impress
Ion OF these wk.te-haired men. who
were really more afraid OF the country
people than the latter were OF them.
The former kings of the border
showed the white feather on several
occasions, and they had to be closely
watched to prevent them from leav-
ing the show and returning to the
scenes OF their former Western tri-
umphs. They were suspicious Of every
one and on one occasion Cole Youn
ger showed abject cowardice when, at
a small town In Illinois, he was ap-
preached by a man who had his hand
In his coat pocket. Believing that
there was a shooting iron in the Goa,
pocket, and that 1t was intended foi
him, Younger retreated to the securi'
ty of the private car and remained
there.
According to the story told by Mr.
Allot both men were in constant feat
that they would be ssssssinated. In
the car at night neither would go tc
sleep unless the other stood guard al
the side OF the berth with loaded re.
volver In his hand. At times Young
er has leaped from his berth In the
middle OF the night shrieking with
terror. He had bad dreams.

Respited from prison, aud attended
always BY the fear that he might re-

revolver In protecting a 800 draft

had been sentenced for life for the

Ing chapters In the criminal annals OF
the West, they declared solemnly and
emphaticslly that they had left their
past lives within the gloomy walls OF
the prison. and that In the future 1,
was their intention to live as upright,
honest and law.abiding citizens.
The world applauded the determi-
nation OF the two old men, and dis
position was evinced to overlook the
fact that they we're at one time the
most notorious bandits In the world.
When Jim Younger sent a bullet
through his brain as the result of an
unfortunate love affair, great deal Of
sympathy was expressed for the sur.
viving brother Cole, who has always
been regarded as the superior Of Jesse
James In cunning, courage and dare
ieviltry. That the old spark in Cole
Younger has not been entirely eradi-
Gated by the years spent behind the
prison walls Is attested by the story
which comes out of the West.
HOW IT WAS DONE.
1t was at Mexico, Mo, near which
town Jesse and Frank James were
born, that Cole Younger Is alleged tc
have turned a little trick which does
not b. ar the earmarss of being per.
fectly legitimate. The story Is made
all the more interesting by the fact
that Frank James was with Youngei
at the time. although James has beer

ploits In Christian, Logan and HarI
counties, Kentucky, are recalled By
the present episode.

NIGHTS OF TERROR.

James would walk the floor at
nights crying, my Godl Have pity
on an old man" The once famous
outlaws have lost the courage and
dash that made themselves and the
other members of the gang the
scourge OF the entire West In the lat
ter seventies and the early eighties.
In every towE visited by the show
James and Younger would call upon
the chief Of police and ask for protec-
ton, stating that they were In fear OF
theiI lives being taken by relatives Of
the hundreds of men that bit the dust
when the James gang was at the
zenith Of their power. Finally James
and Younger began to complain about
their situations. They stated that
the show was not making money,
and they started to run the enterprise
with a high hand. 1t was about
three weeks ago In little town In
Illinois that Allot left the show for a
few days. Huffman was left In
charge OF 1t.
There was $4,000 In the treasury,
and Tor the sake of safety 1t was
placed In the local bank. Mr.. Huff
man wanted to withdraw the money,
but lanes and Younger told him II
would be better If he converted 1t into
draft made payable to Allot. Young
er shortly after this interview put In
his appearance at the bank, so it is
alleged, and had the money converted
into a draft made out In his own
name. 1t Is alleged that James also
had draft made out to himself, but
later 1t developed that he had right
to do so. Mr.. Huffman believed all

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS
FACTS AND OPINIONS GATHERED
FROM CONTEMPORARIES

LICENSEES WILL SELL ALL THEY CAN.
But on other, and it may be higher
grounds, the majority of those who seek
some better solution of this great prob
lem than either prohibition or license
will, we are certain, refuse their votes to
this local option act. In spite of all the
legal cords and knots with which it is
supposed TO be bound, the bald fact is
that this act establishes. under certain
conditions, the saloon wherein intoxicat-
ing liquor is Sold for his own gain, by a
/ person holding authority from ,he state.
To be sure, the law imposes such restric-
tons on the selling as would reduce the
injury to the mininum-if the law were
obeyed ms it reads. The very multpli-
city of these restrictions will raise the
question, how can man possibly afford
to pay his license fee and sell only as
prescribed? And there is only one
answer he can't. His own interest
is constantly urging him to sell Just as
much as he can, and ne will do 1t at the
risk of the penalties in sight Imagine
liquor dealer who has paid $1,000 for
his license refusing TO sell Il glass of
beer TO a young man of twenty; or to
"A customer wishing to treat friends
lined up 10 the bar; or to a man who
has been drunk within SIX months; or
to one who has received IA little aid from
the town within a year; or to man
whose boss has given notice should not
be served And would there be no sell
ing at night, or on Sundays, or holidays?
How is it in other states where the law
is just as strict as this one: The trouble
is that both the desire to accommodate
and the desire to get the Gus
toners dime work together, and the
restrictions are violated, and will be so
long as the element of gain is left -

are some that have been worked for some

1t is said on good authority that the
stockholders Of the Eden property will
not lose anything but their stock will be

rHonInIroRY LAW NOT rERrEcr.

ItOlllBlIOIN LAW NOT PERFECT.
The proposed law is before the people.
Unless it is voted down the open saloon
will prevail in Vermont, and when it is
once in the saddle all the fine theories in
regard to its modification will amount to
nothing whatever,
The News has never maintained that
the pIohibitory law was perfect meas
uIe or perfectly enforced. 1t has criti-
cised some OF its features in the past.
but it has and does now believe that it
is much more desirable and possible Of
enforcement than any local option meas
ure with the open saloon.
The News Is also willing to conceie
that the people demand more liberal
liquor laws under the change of pOpula-
ton during the past decade, but it does
not believe that the majority Of voters
will deliberately adopt "A method that
places the open saloon in Vermont.
1t is possible that the element opposed
to the present law and equally opposed
to the saloon will hold the balance of
power on the referendum measure.
Certainly the high license advocates fear
this condition. If this suppositiun is
warranted, the class referred to will
hardly vote for the open saloon and thus
lose the favorable chance it will have Of
establishing its principles in IA modified
law two years hence.-NOrlhtield News.

The condition which initiates the
strongest against the chances of the local
optionists is the wholesale opening of
saloons and drinking places in every city

passage of the license bill by the legis-
lature. Every oldtime law breaker of
this class and many Others have sprung

MIGHT GIVE RANK PROHIBITION.

If license carries, it will either become
the settled policy of the state or there
will speedily follow a reaction that will
tasteu e. ost severe form of prohibition
for long tine to come. The influence
of the liquor interest would undoubtedly
be eXerted TO the utmost TO sustain and
secure license, once it was adopted. 1t
would take an Unprecedented uprising OF
the people to shake it oil, and if this
should come the pendulum would swing
TO tn other extreme and between the
two those who urge the adoption OF state
control would get scanty hearing. If
license Is defeated now, it will be done
by all those opposed to the act submitted
among them many who will vote that
way not for love of prohibition, but for
fear of the open, legaiiZed saloon, run for
private profit. State control has more to
gain by assisting in the defeat of this
act and then urging its own remedy for
the defects of prohibition than it has in
aiding to establish local option, from a
purely political tandpoint.-Herald and
