Old.timers with good memories will look at the calendar
June IS, 1926, and say: "Its just fifty years since Clusters
Last Fight took place on the Little Big Horn, Montana. Seems
like yesterday"
The famous Custer Massacre is fading into the long ago.
But it turks as the great dime-novel thrill OF boyhood Tor
millions Of us. -
For nearly half a century a controversy has ragged, whether
there was a survivor of Clusters valiant cavalry. The con-
troversy is settled. Uncle Sam has found a survlvor-shuh-
shee.ahsh, better known as Curly, a Grow Indian scout now
on the pension list.
More than 300 were wiped out on Clusters side. Curly
the only survivor, escaped by minging with the attacking In
dams until he was able to slip away.
The Custer Massacre was Big Stuff ~forty-seyen years ago.
In the World War it would have attracted little attention.
We do things on a bigger scale than our ancestors-every-
thing, including killing.
The leading events Of 1875 are interesting, by contrast,
in 1923. The Philadelphia Centennial took place that year.
started the famous Corliss engine that set in motion the ma
chinery Of this worlds fair with its 100 buildings.
Other big events of 1876:
The first American cremation furnace was completed at
Washington, Pa, body of Baron De Palm being the first Job"
Elections were actually taken seriously Grant had to de-
clare South Carolina in a state of instruction and send reg
generally ran SO high that soldiers were distributed all through
the south and in New York City and Washington, D c. The

The Presidents secretary was placed on trial for COM
plicity in the great. whiskey frauds. Acquitted The Prohobi-
ton Reform Party held a convention in Cleveland, nominating

President Grant vetoed a. bill reducing his salary to
$4,000.
Edward Dubufe's celebrated painting t'The Prodigal
Son" valued at 100000, was destroyed at the burning of
Melodeon Hall, Cincinnati.
Any one of these lead events of 1876, occurring in 1928,
would keep people talking for months. Wei still interested,
basically in the same old things, though we do the things in
different ways.
If there is any startling exception, it is that we do not
take our national politics as seriously, but whether that's a loss
or a gain depends largely on the individual viewpoint.

END THIS LAWLEssNEss

Good work was done by the police department in cleaning up
the highway robbery case Sunday morning. Within a few hours
after police headquarters had been notified of the hold-up five
men were under arrest charged with the crime, and, it is under
stood, two of these have made statements. The holdup was a
brazen affair. 1t took place on the main highway just over the city
line between Perth Amboy and Woodbridge where there is a lot
Of traffic even early in the morning.
Although il is alleged the men were merely looking for liquor,
the fact that a passing car was fred upon and an occupant was shot
ia the arm adds to the seriousness of the affair. Such lawlessness
cannot be tolerated. Prompt justice without any maudGn senti-
nent is required in such a case as this. The highways must be-
made safe. The state and municipalities are spending enough
y oney to regulate and protect traffic so that travel ought to be
from such outrages.
4 Commissioner of Motor Vehicles Dill has announced that be-
use of the numerous fatal accidents recently in which persons
ave been run down by automobiles, he will. revoke the license of
Nv autoist found guilty Of speeding. This is drastic action, but
is realized that something must be done to put a curb on reck-
&ssness. The same attitude should be taken by the courts in put
