PASSING OF THE COWBOY

Joseph G. Mccoy was credited, in
the brief dispatch noting his death
the other day. with having laid out
the 1,U00-mile trail from Texas to
1O,OUO,OO0 cattle were driven. Whether
ne was really the first to drive
nerd of .longhorns" over that truly
historic highway, the scene of the
hugest pastoral movement ever known,
says the Pittsburg Gazette-Times, it
seems clear that of that epic age of
the plains he could say: "All this
saw and OF much was l part
Made by nature for cattle breeding,
producing in good years ninety five
calves to each 100 cows. the Texas
grazing lands at the close Of the Civil
war were tenanted by millions of
cattle without definite market or de-
terminate value. Demand for an out
let was imperative and the only way
was to the north. The building of
the Kansas Pacific railway made
Abilene and Ellsworth the first great
meeting points of the locomotive and
the ''longhorn.''
Then opened the age of the cattle
baron and the cowboy, and the adding
to American life of types which will
long occupy the pen of the romancer.
1t was not merely marketing; it
was also an exodus. From Texas
came the pressure that swept the In
dian aside and destroyed the bison
herds. Owing to climatic conditions
Texas did not mature steers ready
for the butchers block. But trans
planted north the double wintered'
the 'longhorn" took on flesh like a
native" The climax of the period
came in 1884. when over 800 herds, or
nearly 100000 head, crossed the Red
river, bound for the northwest, re-
quiring for their guiding and guard
ing 1900 men and over 10000 horses.
1t was work for men ready to live
hard and often die suddenly. 1t was
time when fortunes were won fast
and faded swiftly. 1t fastened upon
the popular Imagination the figure of
the cowboy beside that of the forty
miners. 1t had its heroes and it's vii
lains and its bards. A Texas collepe
professor has collected their rude
songs. 1t has found, in a way, it's
historian in Andy Adams, whose Log
of Cowboy" 1.-The Outlet" and
Red Anthony" are fiction only in
frame and all fact in the picture. 1t
did not last long, for Joseph Mccoy,
not yet 80. had seen it all. from eager
beginning to valiant flower and in
glorious end in a multitude of sordid
and often bloody little feuds.
The old order has changed, giving
place unto the new. The swelling tides
of human life have swept over the
range 1t is. perhaps. fifteen years
since a 'longhorn" was seen in the
Chicago stock yards. The cattle baron
has become feeder as we'll as a
breeder. The cowboy is no longer
throned upon his bronco. with all the
boundless plains for his kingdom. He
has become a prosaic tender~pf cattle
within fence. His limitations are
seen on the stage. but the men who
rode the trail" from San Antonio
to Dodge and on to Buford and the
Canadian line are no more. Some
still live. of course. but they are
growing old. Soon all who lived the
epic of the plains will be gone, and
only from the printed page and the
distorted reflections of the stage shall
we know of that free life under the
sun and stars.

CROOK CAPTURED

PHOENIX. Ariz., Dec. "a. s.
Johnson, believed by local federal
officials to be one of the most no.
taken to California to face a charge
of white slavery before the federal
grand jury. In Johnson, who was
arrested here last week, the United
States marshal believes he has ap-
pretended man who is wanted for
a number of crimes in various parts
of the country. He is an expert
forger and it was in his forging of
checks here that first led to his
arrest.

WILSON ADDRESSES
CONGRESS ON THE
SUBJECT UF DEFENSE


WASHINGTON, Dec S.-The an
nual address of President Wilson
given yesterday before the joint
houses of congress dealt mainly with
the national defense and proclaimed
the advanced Pan-Americanism grow
ing from the guardianship of the
Monroe Doctrine to be full and
honorable association" of All Ameri-
cas-.
The president announced that nat
uralized Americans who, by their
Eympathies with European belliger-
hnts, endangered neutrality.
Congress and the packed galleries
cheered as he referred to them as
having poured the poison of dis
loyalty into the very arteries of our
national life.''
The presidents fiancee, Mrs. Nor
man Gait, and her mother were in
the gallery. The throng stood and
cheered as the president entered.
- UOSlA AliC VI L dA-tA
of full partnership between the ma
tions of the Western Hemisphere in
world affairs - was proclaimed by
resident Wilson in his third annual
address to congress-, the theme of
which was preparedness by the
United States to defend not only it's
own independence but the rights of
those with whom it has made COM
mon cause. The message was read
by the president to the senate and
nouse assembled in joint session in
the chamber of the house.
Every recommendation embodied in
the document had to do with COM
prehensive plans for Strengthening
the national defenses. The program
included the army and navy plans
already made public by Secretaries
Garrison and Daniels; legislation for
government owned merchant ships; a
rural credit law; the Philippine and
Porto Rico bills which failed of final
passage at the last session; cOnSer-
walton legislation; a law giving fed
eral aid to industrial and vocational
! education; and the creation of COM
mission to inquire into the trans
portation problem.
Naturalized and native born Ameri-
cans who, sympathizing with bellig-
erents abroad, have plotted and con-
spired to violate their own country s
neutrality were scathingly denounced
by the president, and congress was
urged to provide adequate federal
laws to deal with such offenders.
Internal taxation was proposed as
the means of providing the money
necessary to add to the naval and
military establishments. Sources of
taxation suggested were incomes,
gasoline, naptha, automobiles and in
ternal explosion engines, fabricated
iron and steel, and a stamp tax on
bank checks. Extension of the war
revenue bill and continuance Of the
present tariff on sugar were recon-
mended, and the sale of bonds op-
posed.
This message was the longest Mr..
Wilson has ever delivered to con-
gress
