Old Time Dakota Bandits.
They Were First Class Men in Their
Line and Popular Heroes.

To THE NEW York HERALD: The ref
erences to Clark B. Stocking. the last Of
the old Western stage coach guards, in
Mr.. Peirce's letter Of May 22 bring back
vivid memories OF my own early life
and experiences In the Black Hills of
Dakota Territory when trails served for
roads and travel was altogether afoot,
on horseback. by prairie schooner or by
stage coach.
Gun play was a part of the accepted
practice of the times and attacks upon
stage coaches were expected as mat
ter of course hence the treasure guards.
In the late eos and through the '70s
these men were recruited largely from
the ranks of former soldiers OF the
civil war who had gone West for en-
ployment and adventure instead of re-
naming in the more prosaic life of the
East, though in some cases. notably
that of Mr. Stocking. they had become
westerners prior to 1861, and after
serving Uncle Sam below the Ohio or
the Potomac naturally returned to their
favorite environment.
Strange as It may seem to the reader
OF 1922, in 1s75-7S or so we residents
of what Is now South Dakota were
rather fond OF the reputation OF our
road agents and horse thieves: and were
somewhat moro than Just interested
when news about them was sent broad
cast to the outside world. II will. of
course, be thought that we were poor
indeed II We had nothing else to brag
about; that was not Just 1t, but any
thing we had must be first class. Any
ether part of the great West might lux
uriate in stage robbers. or Illicit deal
ers in horseflesh but certainly no other
part OF the world could produce artists
in either line superior to ours.
In 1873, as I find by referring TO an
old diary and scrap book. some new
oomers who were not thoroughly accus-
toned 10 our ways got after four rob-
bers who had cracked the treasure
coach; and before they could be stopped
followed them all the way to the Mis-
souri, River During the excitement one
Of them came near shooting one of the
leaders OF the gang. OF course the lat

OF trouble and exposed them to some
little danger.

Loan Cards on the Table.

In existing Old World conditions
the raising of a great international
gold loan for Germany, or for any
other war wrecked country, could not
be a mere matter Of writing check.
The problem is complex and the
solution calls for financial power,
as well as economic genius. Under
American leadership at the inter
national round table in Paris. how
ever. the path is being cleared for the
difficult achievement, which Is as
necessary to France and the other
Continental Allies waiting for Ger
man reparations payments as 1t is
to Germany seeking means to make
those reparations payments.
The first requisite under this bank
ing leadership from the United States
is the traditional American rule of
all cards on the table. Internationa;
banking cards on the table, treaty
and alliance cards on the table, trade
agreement cards on the table-with
every hand freely and honestly dis
closed, the American banking inter-
ests will proceed with this vast finan-
cial undertaking in the spirit that
succeeds.
England and France for the Allies
are asked to guarantee both peace
and the loan, and the plain sense Of
&c thof rntt1G
nothing less, since England and
France have most to gain by Euro
pean peace, while the benefits of the
international loan to Germany will
flow directly and Immediately to the
Allies.
Europe is expected to agree that
the stabilization of the Continent Is
the only foundation upon which the
loan can be erected. and II Europe
does not now realize the force of
that unrevisable condition of the
American bankers there will be no
chance either Of billion in gold or
OF any substantial sum going into the
international pool for the economic
rehabilitation of needy Germany and
her needy national neighbors.
This is easy enough to see for eyes
that want to see. 1t will be possible
to work out such a program for
those who are as earnest as the
American bankers are in wishing to
work it out justly and soundly. How
long It will take Is a detail. What
will come Of it is a reasonable GER
tainty-on the terms Of the Ameri-
can bankers, with all the cards on
the table.

Now for Bucket Shop Sharks.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has brushed away the techni-
cal obstacles which have prevented
District Attorney BANToN from d.
recting effective criminal proceed
ings against the operators in New
York's most notorious bucket shop
scandal. and now the door should
swing open to States prison for some
Of the scoundrels that have preyed
upon innocent and credulous inves-
tors to the extent Of millions Of
dollars.
In its long and vigorous war
against the bucket shop swindle THE
New YORK HERALD has sought to
protect the public by exposing the
secret and Illicit practices of the
sharks to the broad light of day.
In his energetic efforts to put an
end to the odious business the Dis
trict Attorney has taken the stand
that stock market bucketing is moth.
ing but plain stealing, and that the
thing to do with a. thief, whether a
bucket shop operator or a second
story operator, is to send him to
jail. This is common sense about
crimes that call for plain justice.
But the purpose of the prosecut-
ing officer has been very largely
baked by the bucket shop crooks
taking refuge in bankruptcy proceed
ings and receiverships. In this way
the books and other records that
may be patent proof of guilt have
been locked up in custody Of the
bankruptcy officers in purely civil
action. beyond the reach of the pros
ecuting officers, In what ought to be
first and always a criminal action.
Now that the Supreme Court of the
United States refuses to allow Fed
eral court bankruptcy proceeding to
be a shield for such fragrant crook
edness as bucket shop operations
the District Attorney will have a
fair chance to see whether he cannot
put the bucket shop swindlers out
Of business by putting them in jail.
And the more conspicuous the crook
he can land the more he will do for
the public by throwing the fear Of
GoD into the hearts of the petty lar
ceny imitators Of the big and power
full operators.

American Derby Winners.

The Derby, run at EPSON to-day,
is the greatest Of all racing classics.
1t is not only a supreme test for
three-year-old colts and fillies over
trying course Of mile and half but
a great social function in which in
dividuals from every country and of
all conditions participate.
The Derby is open to the world.
Victory here carries with 1t pres
tige which Is of incalculable value
to the winner in the stud.
Four American horsemen have
won it. The late RICHARD CROKER
won 1t with Orby in 1907 and
HERMAN B. DURYEA with Durbar in
1914. Both these turfmen bred their
horses, Orby being foaled in Ireland.
Durbar In France. PIERRE LoRILLARD
achieved the distinction Of capturing
this famous classic with Iroquois In
1881, while WILLIAM c. WHITNErs
colors we're in front when Volodyov-
ski ran in 1901.
Iroquois was the first horse with
American blood In his pedigree to
win the Derby, and he is still the
only animal foaled In the United
States to accomplish the feat. He
was not bred by Mr.. LoRn4LARD, but
first saw the light at the Erdenheim
stud near Philadelphia. then owned
by ARIsTIDEs WELSH, but now the
property of GEORGE d. WIDENER. Vo-
lodyovski was purely English, and
his racing qualities only were leased
by Mr.. WHITNEY.

To n Daudelion.

Welcome aud FAREWELL
Thou sweet, golden, glowing thing.
Modest harbinger Of warmer days;
Thou gentle creature
Studding the meadow
Like one pure drop of molten gold
Which fell from heaven.
Thou who callest and behold
Myriad troops of other flowers.
Like puppet players
On a boundless stage.
Come from a winters waiting.
Thou whose note Ia heard
When scarce the last frost fettered twig
Is freed by summers magic breath:
Thou who leads all the wild flowers
of the field,
Thou who dost venture companionless
To meet the first and hopeful rays of
spring.
And send the FIRST from natures breast

Thou, the prelude
OF sweet summers symphony

Fordney-McC Cumber Potato Bills.

Like sugar and bread, the humble
white potato is Of vital interest to
American consumers. OF big food
value and unsurpassed among all
foods in its popularity with the
American public, the potato is al
ways In every household In the
United States; it is virtually on
every table twice day.
The potato crop of the United States
runs from 300,0O0,000 to more than
100000, 900 bushels a year. Although
there are fair exports of American
potatoes, there have been and are also
considerable imports of foreign pota-
toes into the country. The average
consumption by American families
may be approximately estimated at a
million bushels every day in the year
some national potato heap!
Potatoes under the Underwood
tariff were free for upward of nine
years. Under the high Payne-Aldrich
tariff before that the duty on pota-
toes was 25 cents a bushel. BY the
emergency tariff act, year ago, a
temporary duty was imposed of 25
cents a bushel.
The Fordney-McCumber tariff max
ers have dished up for American con-
sumers a potato duty of SO cents a
hundred pounds. This 5S cents a
hundred pounds in the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber tariff is just about 35 cents a
bushel--a 40 per cent. increase over
the high Payne-Aldrich tariff.
On a million bushels of potatoes
consumed a day 35 cents a bushel
runs up to the neat total Of $3.50, ,000-
just potatoes, every single day in
the year!
For 365 days in the year national
potato bill of $35O,0OO day reaches
the magnitude of S127,750,000.
Yes, potatoes. Nothing but pota-
toes. Spuds. That's the way the
Fordney-McCumber tariff makers take
care Of the American people and their
daily food bills.

His Dream.

The soldier sleeps his last long sleep
Beneath the daisied sod.
His sword is sheathed forevermore.
Ills wounds are healed OF God;
II in the final bivouac
He dreams OF life again
rfis dream is not Of rolling drums.
Nor fields of CORY slain.
But iilacs by picket fence.
A cottage door aJar.
White curtains blowing In the breeze,
The first faint silver star,
A cowbell tinkling in the dusk
Beside broken stile.
And loi across the evening lamp
His gray haired mothers smile.

Plea for Babe Ruth.
One Of His Admirers Thinks He Has
Not Been Getting Square Deal.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Why
can't they let the Babe alone?
Ruth is clean player and a good
sport. without doubt the most popu-
lar and best known man In the game.
Why is 1t that Jealous people are al
lowed tc use their authority and take
exceptions in cases where the outcome
is discrediting one OF the best men in
baseball and therefore disillusioning the
few people who really believe in the
game?
We all want to see the Babe get a
fair deal, which in the opinion of a
good many he has not received this
season. e. BYRNE.

The April jury for the circuit branch

of Frank Dziedsic, charged with assault

man who was charged with having
slashed woman's face with knife
as result of drinking party, pleaded
guilty after the attorneys had COM
menced the drawing of jury.
