gotten up between two scrub
horses and while the crowd was
waiting a dispute arose between
"Dutch Henry" Goodshaw, and a
half-breed by the name of BOZ
Jackson.
While they were q~uarrelling
"Rattlesnake Jake" dropped off
his horse and edged over to Jack
son, holding his hand on his gun,
but as the dispute ended with no
blows he said nothing until Jack
son asked what he meant by stand
ing there with his hand on his
gun.
"Rattlesnake Jake" replied that
he would have knocked Jackson
down had he struck Clutch Hen
ry," ~whereupon Jackson left and
"Rattlesnake Jake" mounted his
horse. However Jackson immedi-
ately returned and in a rough man
ner intimated that although Jake
packed two guns he need not think
he could Il the town.
Upon this Jake struck him
across the mouth with his revolver,
knocking him to the ground. Jack
son scrambled to his feet and start
ed to run off but he was followed
by Jake and Fallon. Overtaking
him Jake covered him with his
gun and compelled him to kneel
and then to lay face downward on
the ground.
Jake then remarked to his com
panion that he guessed they would
have to take the town and a few
minutes later rode up to Crow
ley & Kemp's saloon, which they
entered and took three drinks
apiece. While there Jake remarked
he would be perfectly satisfied if
he could kill John Doane, a half
breed.
Doane was standing in the door
of the T. c. Power & Brothers
store when Jae stepped out of the
saloon. Whipping out his gun he
commenced firing while Doane
threw up a small 32-calibre re-
%volver, the bullet hitting the fore
of Jake's pistol hand. Jake
transferred the gun to the other
hand and resumed firing into the
store at Doane.
By this time the scramble for
guns had become general and
shooting began in earnest. Fal-
on was on his horse discharging

who had taken refuge behind Ed.
Clark's photograph tent.
Jake was on his knees shooting al
anyone within range when Fallon
dismounted and taking deliberate
aim with his rifle at Benjamin
Smith, a young man, who with
several others, were running to get
away from the rain of bullets,
fired. The ball struck Smith in the
left cheek and lodged in his brain,
killing him instantly.
By this time citizens from be-

Fright

Many have heard the story of the
man who was frightened to death by
practical jokers. They tied him to
chair, gagged him, put his feet in
warm water, told him they were GO
ing to cut the soles of his feet and
let him bleed to death. The water
was colored red and the dull edge of
a razor blade was passed across the
soles Of his bare feet, and the man,
believing that he was bleeding to
death, actually died of heart failure.
That was a foolish joke, but not
nearly so foolish as some of the
tricks that we allow to be played on
ourselves.
1t IS not necessary to go through
such an elaborate program to fright
en- some of US, especially when bust
ness is concerned.
Let someone wave the red flag of
business depression across the hor-
lion and the timid souls run to cover.
Prosperity is straightway frightened
to death.
The same old chunk" is used every
time Some pessimist surmises
that this is election year and there
fore business will be punk" It's
an old superstition that belongs in
the limbo of witchcraft, but so many
unthinking souls accept it for truth
every four years that it continues to
operate to the detriment of business.
Elections do not hurt business, but
business men think they do and
therefore they do.
The result is that prosperity is
frightened to death. But there's no
reason for it. The next time some
one says the election is stangulating
business, don't look serious and
agree-laugh at them.-Ex.

WHAT BANKERS Think
OF THE LABOR BANKS

With the advent of the labor bank
three years ago, there was wide.
spread speculation as to what labor
turning capitalist would mean.
By bold calculations the most I'm.
aginatiye pictured q coup d'etat in
finance wrought by the mobilization
of labor's savings and strategic in
vestments IN the key industries.
Prophecies Of disaster came from the
quarters OF the other extremists.
Taking the middle ground was the
great group of conservative bankers
who saw the bank as link-rather
than a wedge-between capital and
labor II was their opinion that the
experience gained In the manage
ment of the labor banks would bring
real understanding OF the business
of handling money and investments
and develop knowledge of the prob
lens OF capital. By making capital
lists out Of the workers. directing the
investment Of their funds into safe
securities instead OF wildcat stocks
and by promoting thrift. they saw
good lowing from the enterprise. With
the mystery taken out of banking.

pricked. and the right of an individ.
ual to his accumulated savings firm
ly established. It was patent that the
radicals would be disarmed or their
thunder against the much-assailed
capitalistic system. On the other
hand. It was conceded that. with the
rise of labor as factor in finance.
opportunities for the abuse Of the
worker by the bludgeon of cruel
credit control would be more re-
stricted
IN their appraisal OF the movement
the events OF the past two years have
largely justified the view Of the con.
servatiyes. although the time is still
too short to permit 5 mature tudg.
ment 1t is quite clear. however, that
labor has not revolutionized banking

warted from its former channels

Respect For Laws.

Not many crimes in several de-
cades have attracted the attention
that has been directed to the recent
kidnapping and murder in Chicago.
Revolving as are its details, it's
lesson should not be lost; neither
should its causes be passed by
lightly.
Probably never in criminal annals
has such a clear case of guilt been
built up against the defendants, in
valving, as it does, their confessions
and the mass of material evidence to
support it.
They are both subject to a double
death, so to speak, as the law plainly
sets out death as the penalty for
murder and kidnapping for ransom.
Whether or not the death penalty
is visited upon them, only time will
tell, but the public viii follow the
case with keen interest because of
the many questions involved.
There is no question that the in
crease Of violent crime is closely re-
lated to the delay in punishment of
criminals.
Those with criminal intent fail to
see the relation between a murder
and the execution of a murderer
several years later, if, indeed, he is
put to death at all, and does not win
his freedom on one pretext or

WALLACE GIVES
PERkTIVE
MARKETING RULES
Secretary of Agriculture Defines
Ten Principles Essential to
Success for Bank ASSo-
citation.

Ten principles requisite for the
success OF cooperative marketing
plans have been prepared by Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wallace for the
State Bank Division of the American
Bankers Association. which has Just
published a nationwide compilation
Of views, experiences and discussions
regarding the movement. Mr.. Wal
lace's principles are:
l. A cooperative organization must
be controlled by It's members, not as
shareholders or investors, but as pro
ducers employing the facilities of the
organization.
2. A cooperative association is not
operated to make a profit on invested
capital above the usual rate of In
terest. but to profitably market the
products OF its members at the lowest
possible cost.
3. A cooperative association should
be organized around a single commo-
dity. OF a group of commodities for
which the same marketing ma
chinery. methods and channels are
employed.
T. The organization should have
sufficient volume Of business to en-
able It to operate efficiently and eco
nomically. and should control this
business through definite legal con-
tracts with its members.
g. The organization must perform
definite functions. The organization
of a cooperative marketing associa-
ton is not an end In itself.
6. The members must understand
the purposes of the organization and
be kept fully informed regarding its
activities and problems.
Z. A cooperative association should
have expert management The duties
of the manager of a cooperative as
ISOLATION are more difficult than
those of the manager OF a commercial
enterprise of equal size. The man
ager must not only conduct the bust
ness of the organization efficiently.
but he must recognize the close, per
sonal interest OF every member in
that business, and be able to main
tain harmonious contacts with each
Individual
8. Proper accounting Is essential
Accounting is one phase of manage
ment but is so important In coop
erative marketing that 1t Is given
special mention. The management
cannot be properly advised regarding
the status of the organization, nor
properly inform the members, with
out accurate records.
8. Sound financial policies are also
a part of management, but are OF
sufficient importance to be placed
under a separate heading. One es-
sential is that cooperative associa-
ton should build up adequate re-
serves in order that 1t may have the
financial strength necessary to
weather periods of stress.
10. A cooperative organization
should be self-perpetuating 1t should
have a definite legal status. and once
II is organized II should be so con
Quoted that II would never be neces-
sary to call upon outside agencies to
re-establlsh the organization or shape
its policies.

FREDERICK MARTIN. the Arr
The Fourth OF July.

The real significance of Independ-
ence Day comes from an under
standing of its meaning, a realiza-
ton of what the Fourth of July
stands for in American history.
No child should be permitted to
grow up with the idea that the
Fourth is the day we all take a vaca-
tion and try to see how much noise
we can make.
Rather, every school child should
be able to quote from memory the
essential part of that immortal
Declaration of independence:
We hold these truths to be self
evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable
rights, that among these are Life,
Liberty and the pursuit of
Happiness. That to secure these
rights, Governments are instituted
among men, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the
governed.
In the words of Abraham Lincoln,
This was their majestic interpre-
tation of the economy of the Uni
verse. This was their lofty, and
wise, and noble understanding of the
justice of the Creator to His
creatures"
Americans today may well ponder
carefully the expressions of these
great men who gave years of
thought and efforts to the forming
of our national ideals and who wrote
these ideals into the two great basic
documents of our civic life-the
Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution of the United States.
The Declaration of independence
declares the doctrines Of equality,
liberty and that a government
derives its just powers from the
consent of the governed.
Equality means fraternity, broth
erhood, fair-dealing, exclusion Of
no one from public benefits because
of race or poverty or lowly birth 1t
does not mean social equality, or
equality of wealth or equality of in
herent ability. The Declaration
referred to political equality. which
means equal opportunity under the
law.
The national ideal of liberty has
been the first watchword on our lips.
To aSsail our union, our government,
in the interest of personal liberty,
license. unbounded freedom, is not
liberty as conceived by the writers of
the Declaration. 1t is, rather, to
break our national idea into pieces
and to rush back towards the
barbarism that existed before man
set aside his selfishness to form
cooperative government, without
which we would still be roaming the
wilderness and fighting for our daily
bread
The other vital thing in the pre-
amble of the Declaration of Iudepen-
dence means that government is to
be from the bottom up and not from
the top down. The American theory
is that all power rests in the people
as whole A tendency to depart
from this system in recent years has
been the greatest source of trouble.
Only by holding to the representative
form Of government as established
by our forefathers. can our republic
eudure.-Ex
