Oh, You Wrights.

1t is not perpetrating pun to say
that Wright seldom goes wrong, says
the St. Louis Globe Democrat. The
Wright family has 'lived up to its
There have been multitudes
of Wrights, and few of them have been
responsible for any of the multitude of
wrongs done in the world since the
name was evolved out of honest work
in old England more than 500 years
ago. The name has since been written
high in the annals OF every English
speaking land. The nineteenth century
saw the rise of the Wrights, both in
this country and in England. 1t saw
the beginning of the career of Silas
Wright, who, after being governor of
New York, declined cabinet posts and
foreign ministries. In that and the
preceding century the Wright family
gave the world two of its eminent
painters, one American and the other
English. It gave to England and to
the world, one of its foremost Shakes
pearean commentators, and to admin
istrative work in Washington one of
it's most expert statisticians. The
name of Thomas Wright. the English
antiquarian, belongs to the history of
the world, while that of Horatio Wright
is written in our annals of war and
George Frederick Wright in the record
of our scientific achievements. The
latest triumphs of the Wrights, in the
world of aviation, are known Of all
men.
The Wright family is to hold its first
family reunion in this country, and
Missouri is to be the place Of meeting.
1t b-gins today on Perche Creek, in
Boone county. The first Wright set
tier in Missouri settled near the banks
of Perche Creek, the only reason ad-
vanced for selecting that stream as the
best place for a Wright foregathering.
We may hope to see more available
sites selected for future assemblages.
If even a small percentage Of the
Wrights in the United States should
take the road and begin inquiring the
way to Perche Creek, there would be a
dust cloud in time of drought, to hide
the sun. If these meetings are to be-
come representative of a great, wide
spread family they must be held where
many iron roads fork. But a begin
ming has been made. And we are
really less interested in where this first
meeting of the Wrights is to be held
than Why it is to be held. This we

St. Louis police force. In poetic ap-
peal to the Wrights to rally around the
family tree, at Perche Creek, he says
Hearken, ye Wrights, to nature's cal

That flows through your veins in a ricf

This boast of red blood, rather thar

Wrights. There has never been anae
