ROMANCE ECHO OF
FIFTY YEARS AGO

An echo of a romance half a cen
fury ago in which one of the pioneer
Vests most famous characters was a
principal, is a request of County
Clerk Richard Grace of Cheyenne, by
William E. C~onnelley, secretary of the
Kansas State Historical society, for
the record of the marriage here of
James Butler Hickok, yclept "Wild
Bill"
/ Delving into the musty territorial
archives in his custody, Grace ascer-
tanned that Hickok was married here
March o., 1876, to Mrs. Agnes Lake
Thatcher, the ceremony having been
performed by Rev. w. F. Warren, &C
cording to the rites of the Methodist
Episcopal church at the house of S.
l.. Meyer. The marriage certificate
testifes that the Bridegroom was 45
years old, the bride az, and that she
was from Cincinnati, Ohio. Hickok
gave his residence as Laramie Coun-
ty, Wyoming"
Old timers recall that Mrs. Thatch-
er was a professional bareback rider
and that she met Hickok while giving
a performance here in company with

STATE Legion

Wyoming Legionnaires, with a uo

their quota in the membership drive
now being conducted in all the states
by the American Legion, according to
a message of congratulation received
Saturday by w. j. Wehrli of Casper.
commander of the Wyoming Legion,
from national headquarters of the vet
Grams organization.
This is particularly significant be-
cause this occurred five months in adj
vance of the recommended schedule. -
says the message. please convex

and post officials. and to all individ-

toward this success"
The only department that finished
ahead of Wyoming this year was Flor

dents and eligibles made possible an
early consummation of the campaign.
The quota assigned to Wyoming by
national ct. headquarters was ..2,7e9
which was the states membership in
1922, and the highest official member
ship Wyoming has had in any yeal
heretofore. Last years membership
was 2.761.

BEST SWIMMING TANK

The best collegiate swimming tank
and equipment in the entire country
is the name given the swimming pool
at the University of Wyoming by Err

crack Stanford University swimming
team and one of the foremost coaches
of swimming in the United States.
Brandsten gave expression to his adj

meet at Laramie between the Univer-

mers won the meet by a score of A

in swimming by the Cowboy tank
team and on the coaching ability of
Kenneth Johnston, University swim

In a signed statement, the Stanford
coach said: "In all the trips that the
Stanford swimming teams have taken,
at no time have we had the good for
tune to compete in as fine a pool as
the one you (the University OF Wyo-
ming) have here. | think, and / am

prices for the government were fair
prices for civilians. must say, how
ever. that the vast majority of Amer
lean manufacturers rose to the situa-
tion in such a splendid way as to
bring the following commentator
from Woodrow Wilson: "They turned
aside from every private interest of
their W and devoted the whole of
their trained capacity to the tasks
that supplied the sinews OF the whole
great undertaking. The patriotism,
the u~nselfishness, the thorough going
devotion and distinguished capacity
mat marked their toilsome labors day
after day, month after month, have
made them fit mates and comrades to
the men in the trenches and on the
seas"
There are many men who are afraid
That the adoption of this plan by Con-
gress would give an impetus to social
ism or communism or sovietism or
whatever they may call 1t, because,
they say, 'if you show 1t can be done
In war time there will be a demand
that it be done in peace time" It
cannot be done in peace time. There
can be no great undertaking without
a strong moving cause, In peace time
the moving cause is personal initiative
n payment for services performed.
The substitute for that in war time is
the common danger.
The Wal Industries Board was he
foremost advocate of price fixing and
distribution. and it had great power in
this field, but when the Armistice
came 1t recognized that peace condi-
lions were being restored. and It vas
the first to change the war time order
OF things and to leave to the people
themselves the readjustment Of their
affairs. | am satisfied that 1t is i'm
possible for the government to do in
peace time What l am advocating, al
though II becomes absolutely neces-
sary In order to conduct a modern
war successfully and to conduct 1t on
a non-proiteering basis.
The application OF this plan. besides
making the nation a coherent unit in
time OF war. would impress upon
every class in society a sense of its
W responsibility in such event. II
1t were known that this universal re.
sponsibility would be enforced. no
class-social, financial or Industrial
could fail to understand that in case
of war 1t would have to bear its share
of the burdens involved and would
have to make sacrifices OF profit, CON
venience and personal liberty correla-
lively with those made by the soldiers
in the field. To this extent the plan
would act as a positive deterrent to
any hasty recourse to force in an in
ternational controversy.
One thing hat has definitely come
from the war is the necessity OF
arranging affairs so that a portion OF
the population shall o be sent to the
front to bear all the physical hard
ships and their consequences while
Others are left behind to profit by
their absence. II applied at the out

John Greenleaf Whittiers poetic ac
count of her deeds. Barbara Frit-
chie's personality left an imprint on
this historic town as no other ever
did.
From the idealism of the massive
ly simple granite monument, which
marks her grave in Mount Olivet
cemetery. to the plate bolted to the
rail of the West Patrick Street
bridge over the town creek, her
name descends triumphant into the
everyday walks of life.

which has split Fredericktown into

suggestion that it carry her name
was met with unveiled hostility. Hei
legend was branded fraud. In
compromise, the ranks of the Illus
trious leader of a later generation
we're scanned, and Francis Scott Key
filled the breach.
