GREATEST AGE OF CREED

We are passing through the great
 est age of greed this country has ever known, and it is made possible be- cause of the fact that we are living in the greatest age of prosperity also.
 The wonderful resources and opportu- mites of today have quickened the pulse and awakened the mental fac ulties of the whole nation. In the past two or three years men have gone from poverty to affiuence. In finance these years have been the golden era of the American nation. As a country we are swimming on the crest of the wave, and only sink beneath the sur face when we relax our energies or
 make deep plunge to bring up great CT riches. Luxuries and extravaganza
 have become so common that the masses do not know how to get along without them. In fact they are no longer luxuries; they are TO longer looked upon as unusual conditions of
 possessions that afford us unusual
 pleasures. They have become the ne-
 cessities, the common everyday wants
 whose absence suggest the most ab-
 ject poverty. What would the aver
 age man of today do with the condi-
 tions that existed fifty years ago?
 How much of the privation and pover-
 ty of our forefathers could the present
 generation endure without being driv-
 en to distraction? As contract with
 our present fast ways of living, it is
 really refreshing to read how Lincoln
 or some. other great man, used to solve
 problems on the back of his woden
 shovel in the light of the old fireplace
 but when we read such bits of hiogra-
 phy, we are inspired more with the
 feeling of pity for Lincoln than by the
 encouragement and improved oppor-
 tunities offered us at the present time.
 The sentiment today is one of expan-
 sion, a sentiment which overshadows
 and eclipses the pioneer idea of con
 traction. In the pioneer days the man
 who found that his expenses were

NOT so BAD OFF

A gentleman passed through Mem Ephis yesterday after lengthy visit throughout the north and east We note he said that conditions as to em- ployment and business are not so bad in the south as they are in the north and east.
 This will amaze the average person who comes to believe from talk that we are in a worse way than people in any other part of the country. We are not. There is more employment in the north and east than there is in the south, but there is very little sui fering from unemployment in the north and east because last year many laboring people began to see that the flush times could not last forever and they put part of their earnings in savings banks and these savings now stand them well in hand.
 If some of our folks had patron ized the savings banks last year and year before last, in large and small amounts, we would have been much better off than we re-Commercial Appeal.

GREATEST BANDIT"
Starr Was Real Bad Man.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Feb. 20.-I knew he'd do it; I knew he'd do it if they didn't watch him."
 William (BilD Tilghman, dean of peace officers of the old southwest, ran back down the history a quarter century and reflected upon the rise and fall of his friendly enemy the greatest bank robber that ever lived Henry Starr.
 Tilghman, now a motion picture producer, sat before a grate fire in his Oklahoma City home, but his mind was out on the plains again, where a gunnian on the side of the-faw he earned the title, "The Marshal who Drove the Outlaws From Oklahoma
 "So he's dying with his boots on We'll that's the way he always wanted 1t, and, heaven knows, he took plenty of chances to make it come true"
 The veteran bandit fighter, though nearly 70 years old, still stands straight in his more than six feet ano walks with his light touch of youth He paced about to illustrate his story of the years of Starr's prime. What puzzles me-" broke in time and again on his narrative, lis what Henry was doing with the motor car He made the same old mistake trying to come back in game that is played in new ways"
 l If Starr dies, says Tilghman, tht Oklahoma outlaws will have passed ion. Al Jennings and Emmet Daltol opinion. Al Jennings and Emmet Dal ton and the rest of the motion pic ture outlaws are fakes.

 It is the little things that make the Ibig things, little traits of character that make a reputation, little pennies that count up into the big dollars, lit tie "cussings" that sometimes lead to murder or suicide. There are not many valuable articles of merchandise smaller than common pin. One pin alone is almost insignificant. Its val ue in money is so small that it would require a pretty good mathematician to figure it out To woman. however it is sometimes priceless. To man it has many times been made to do serious and important duties. It is a very little, insignificant thing, but the pin industry is great enterprise. Ev- cry person uses 126 pins annually, the women more, the men less, but the average is 126. In this way ten bil- lions are consumed annually. No, a single pin doesn't amount to much, ex- cept when it is bent into the proper shape and gets into the chair first, but ten billions is quite bunch. If they were all sticking into you, they might Iserve to impress you with the import ance of our text: Ut is the little things that count" Don't despise them. Don't sit down on such little thing as a pin. It has moved some Of the ablest men the world has ever known.

and I knew from the restless look in his eye that he was going back to the old game. Henry was just a natural born bank robber, and we all believed if he hit hard times he'd try the busi- ness again. He was only paroled be- cause the state had promised that and had got value received in advance for the favor"
 The statement attributed to the Ok lahoma Bankers Association that Starr is the master mind behind bank hold-ups of the last six months in the southwest, is described by Tilghman.
 q believe this was Starr's first at tempt at comeback" Tilghman said. Present bank robberies are not plan ned like the old ones. You don't see any defenses worked out in advance or the desperate battles the oldtimers put up.
 "The modern robber is a young fel- low who thinks he's hero when he's back of the bars smoking cigarettes and being pointed out as stick-up. He lives in boarding house in a city and not out in the open like the real bandits did. No wonder Henry got caught with pals like that.
 "It's too bad he couldn't have lived the decent life he promised when pa roled," Tilghman continued. "But Pm glad it wasn't a young sprout that shot him, though, of course, it would have been a lot more fitting if an old time marshal could have been the man to make the capture"

FAMOUS BANDIT DIES; STOIC
 TO THE LAST
Henry Starr Breathes Last in Arkan-
 sas Jail


 Harrison, Ark, Feb. 22.--Henry Starr, Oklahoma bandit, wounded here while attempting to rob the Peo- ple's Bank last Friday, died at 1:25 o'clock this afternoon. His death oc- cured in jail. It came "with his boots on," as he has always wanted.
 Starr's body was taken at once to an undertaking establishment and will be forwarded to Muskogee, Okla, accompanied by relatives.
 The bandit made few statements before he died, telling of the two gangs working with him. However, he made no significant statements and refused to reveal the names of his aides. He said he had been in many robberies, but never in a situation like this.
 Starr refused to talk with the min- ister who called at his cell. He told the preacher that he knew of the hereafter, but could not help it. His wife and his mother, Mrs. Mary Gordon, were at his s% bedside. They wept some, but held their nerve well. His son, Teddy Starr; sister, Mrs. Markum, and cousin, Toney Starr, were with him at the time of his death.
 Bank officials say that Starr begged for his life when under the cover of pistol held by Meyers, former pres ident of the bank, who shot him. But after he was shot he said he would die like a man, and maintained an iron nerve despite the pain he was suffering.
 Many conferences have been held with the bandits mother, but she has refused to talk for the newspapers. Starr's career as a bandit and bank robber, ended with his death today, covered many years, during which time he had served several terms in federal and state prisons. He at one time was sentenced to death on a charge of murder, but received a re- prieve from President Mckinley and later pardon from President Roose- welt. He last was released through pardon two years ago, and, according to general belief, had "gone straight since that time. However, Starr was positively identified as one of the three men who last December had held up and robbed the Bank of Selig- man at Seligman, Mo.
 Starf's son and mother were with him when he died, bu. tonight had not decided where the body would be taken for burial. The bandit, accord ing to statements of officers, had real ized almost since the moment that he was wounded that he would not live, took the situation philosophically and gave no excuse for his latest escA- pade except that he was in debt and had to have money.
 Starr, according to Sheriff Johnson, made statement before his death giving the identity of his three com panions who escaped but the officer refused to make public any of the statement otherwise on the ground that Starr's information might lead to the arrest of the bandits and that publication of it probably would him der the officers.
 Starr had been indicted by grand jury here on the charge of attempted robbery.

IL is said that Mr.. McAdoo was to

made no contributions to any campaign

Frederick A Wallis, Immigration

was the first of his faction to swing
into line for Hylan. He was followed
by Stuart G. Gibboney. former law
partner OF Mr.. McAdoo, who only few
weeks before had tried 10 force Mr..

Other Wilson Democrats who for
years have been bitterly opposed TO Tam

them are Thomas Il. Rush, formerly

The only heed paid by Mayor Hyfan

Murphy Smiles While His

and Effect.

William q. McAdoo. formerly Secre-
tary Of the Treasury and foe of Charles

porting Mayor John F. Hylan. And
there is a terrible "how-da-do" in Tam

the Mayor who have been lining up
all the old time enemies OF Tammany
went just step too far when they
added the man who. more than any
other was responsible for the local or
ganization remaining out In the cold
on all patronage during the Admins
tration of President Wilson.
For several days there have been per-
sistent rumors that some sort OF bar
gain has heen made with Mr.. McAdoo
whereby he and his friends are 10 share
in the rich city patronage In case the
Hylan administration is returned to
power. Yesterday the thing got on their
nerves to such an extent that some OF
them were about ready to believe a
yarn that the Mayor was in conspiracy
with Mr.. McAdoo to overthrow Tam
many Hall and set up McAdoo organ
ization after the tlrst OF the year. They
pointed out that Mr.. McAdOo asrired TO
capture tbs Presidential nomination In
the potent factors in keepb II from
him in 1920 that he coulu expect no
more consideration from that organiza-
ton III the next national convention.
Therefore, they argued, Il was natural
that the former Secretary of the Treas

organization in the city and in the State.
While Mr.. Murphy and other leaders

there probably was some national poll

be. the playing up" OF the Wilson DEM

causing lot of apprehension in some
quarters and will work to the disadvan-
tage of the Hylan ticket among the rank
and file OF the party. They have been
taught to hate McAdoo and his friends
and will not knowingly do anything that
would assist him to humble Tammany
