Quantrill Raiders Hold
Last Civil War Reunion

From the Des Mones Tribune Capital
Quantrill's men have held their last
reunion. The hercest and most feared
gang of border raiders the Civil War
prodQced is now represented by only
four survivors, and these Are too feeble
to keep up their annual meetings. This
band of Missouri guerriIlas that for years
kept Eastern Kansas in terror and that
sacked the town of Lawrence in 1863
will do no more harm.
The Quantrill raiders would have
been pretty well forgotten by now, ex-
cept that some of them formed later
the nucleus of the James Younger band
Of bank and train robbers. The excuse
of their friends was that because of the
irregularity and cruelty Of their warfare
they were unable to surrender safely. as
did other Confederate soldiers, and thus
We're driven to continuance of out
laWry
Frank James, in fact, sponsored the
first Quantrill reunion in 1898 The
"reminiscences Of these yearly meetings.
If they had been recorded doubtless
would have made a colorful. but often
blood-curdling, chapter'of American his
tory. But neither the story of the war
raiders nor that Of the bank and train
robbers ever will be told in full. Some
of those who knew most met violent
deaths; others had excellent reasons
for concealing their knowledge
Now the last roll has been called, and
Quantrills men have disappeared into
the shadows. They gave violence to an
age that demanded violence, yet most
of them lived to prove that they loved
peace more than war, sobriety and hon
esty more than crime

ever to do with the matter. Wood now
denies that he publicly admitted trick
ing Don and calls the incident mis-
understanding" When 1t Is realized
however, that in more than a quarter
of century Of racing Wood has never
before been recorded as beating the gun
this version does not appear to hold
much water Wood, of course, had
never been beaten before. He has
reigned as undisputed king of the speed
boat world, and his name is known to
all sections of the globe. Don's entry
into the speedboat game was probably
greeted none to cordially by the Woods,
especially when it was discovered that
the Miss England, which holds the
worlds record at better than ITO miles
an hour, was far faster than anything
they had produced.
When Miss America TX finished more
than a mile behind Don in the first
heat and Miss America VIII, driven by
George Wood, still farther back, the
brothers were not at all pleased. So
in the second heat leaving George
Wood in the rear and running almost
neck and neck with Don, Gar Wood
succeeded in getting both of them
across the starting line before the gun
was fired. This left only one boat in the
race and George Wood took no chances
of engine trouble by running too fast,
averaging only 60 miles an hour for the
30-mile course.
Don, a thorough sportsman. may
carry back to England with him the
knowledge that he has demonstrated
superiority over the best the world has
TO offer in speedboat racing, and also
the sympathy OF the American people
for the unsportSmanlike tactics to
which he was submitted.

Eating for Parades.

Heat, excitement and empty stomachs
these were the main causes to which
physicians attributed the collapse Of a
hundred persons watching the firemen S
parade on Labor day.
More than half of the prostrationS
were of persons under 81 years of age.
But the day was not very hot after all,
and the excitement of watching peace
full parade could not have been very
intense.
1t is permissible. therefore, to believe
that lack Of food was the primary cause
of many of the collapses along the line
of march.
No doubt hasty breakfasts, or no
breakfasts at all, have accounted for a
majority of similar collapses at inaugu-
rationS and other festivities in the
past.
The National Capital is a parade
loving place, and it attracts at such
times a host of parade fans" from all
nearby places.
1t would seem the verieSt dictate of
common sense to eat wisely upon such
morning. No doubt too little food
rather than too much should be the
rule, however.
Light refreshments, at suitable
periods, would be better than one heavy
meal before a parade. There is a'~'"y"

Urge Federal Curb
On Sale of Firearms

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Urgent need for Federal curb on the
sale and transportation Of firearms is
the opinion of Police Commissioner Null
rooney of New York. He has conferred
with Senator Wagner on the subject.
and it is likely that bill Will be In
troduced at the next session OF Congress,
New York has law on the subject and
so has Pennsylvania. but, unfortunately,
there are many communities Where II
is just as easy to buy a gun as 1t is to
purchase a package of cigarettes. AS
matter of fact. the country is flQ2ded
with gun brokers'" who buy, sell and
even rent firearms. The New York
commissioner says we need a bill, SIM
liar to that now in effect for stolen au-
tomobiles, which would prohibit the in
terstate transportation and sale OF fire
arms. Such measure. he claims, would
reduce crime and help the police IN
their difficult work
1T is practically impossible says Mr..
Mulrooney, ito meet the bad conditions
which now prevail as long as the coun-
try is flooded with revolvers made In
Belgium and Spain, to say nothing OF
those manufactured in this country. A
fellow has only to go over to the Ho-
boken water front, or make an hours
run to some other place where no re-
Strictions exist, to pick up gun for a
few dollars I estimate that about 5000
guns are brought into this country every
year by sailors and others, and sold at
wholesale for a dollar or two. That
makes the fight between the police and
the criminal rather uneven one" This
is a situation similar to that which sur
rounds many of our laws. With the
Legislatures of the 48 States passing
their own kind of laws in their own
way there is bound to be confusion and
often worse. How to overcome the diff
6culty is a grave problem.

An Unsportsmanlike Act.

Gar Wood has added no luster to
Americas craftsmanship by his tactics
in the Harmsworth Trophy speedooat
race in Detroit on Monday, despite his
denial that he connived with his brother
George to trick Kaye Don, On the con-
trary. he has given it a decided black
eve. Beaten decisively in the first heat
of the annual water classic on Sunday
and knowing full well that the Miss
England, piloted by Don, was al
most sure to win the plaque that had
been in his possession for eleven years,
Wood engineered one Of the meanest
tricks ever recorded in the annals of
amateur sport. Realizing that his
brother, George, driving the Miss Amer
lea VIII, could be depended upon to
finish the course even at a slow pace
and thereby win the cup again for
America Wood deliberately disqualified
himself in Miss America TX, but in
doing so succeeded in forcing Don over
the starting line too soon, thereby put
ting Miss England also out of the COM
petiasn. The fact that Miss England

Mail Mems Feet.

While it is unlikely that the Gov
ernment will aceede to a resolution
adopted by the National Association OF
Letter Carriers, in convention at Oak
land, Calf, that it establish foot clinics
for mail men, there is food for con-
siderable thought in the matter.
a letter carriers feet are his greatest
stock in trade, next to his head. He
must have intelligence, but, in addition,
he must have good feet. Mail men walk
many miles every day, and it may be
said with much truth that what the
Government is really getting from them
is mileage.
At present letter carrier who has
foot defects must bear the burden OF
remedying them. Since this keeps him
At for his job and helps him retain
his job, it is but common sense that
he look to his toes.
Human nature, however being as it
is, it Is highly possible that many a
carrier neglects going to foot expert
when he should do SO. All people, no
matter what their work in life, find it
remarkably easy to neglect going to
the doctor A little pain, little worry,
then they hope it will wear off, and,
remarkably enough, often it does.
When the United States bores its
way from under the present cloud of
depression, as undoubtedly it will, or
our name is not the United States OF
America, the Government could do a
great deal worse, among hundreds OF
small matters which it will have up
for consideration at that time, than
to investigate this suggestion of the
letter carriers in convention assembled.
An army may march on its stomach,
as Napoleon said, but the national
army of letter carriers marches solidly
on their feet, and little cooperation
on the part of the Post Office Depart
ment, along the lines suggested, might
do a great deal to make the most
uniformly courteous and happy group
of public servants even happier in the
future.

Gov. Longs Predicament.

Gov. Huey p Long of Louisiana, who
| is also Senator-elect from that State,
has declined to go to Texas to address
a mass meeting on the cotton situation.
This is not, 1t is reported, because Gov.
Long is not interested in cotton or
anxious to make the speech. 1t Is be-
cause ne fears If he leaves the State
the lieutenant governor, Paul N. Cyr,
may undertake to take over the Office Of
| Governor. He and Cyr are bitter po-
litical foes, leaders In opposing Demo-
cratic factions. If the Governor is I'M
fearing what the lieutenant governor
may do in his absence, what chance is
there Of his coming to Washington next
December to warm the seat in the Sen
ate held for so many years by former
Senator RanSdell? He cannot retain
the office of Governor and become &C
tive as Senator. He must give over the
goVernorship into the hands of the lieu
tenant governor if he comes TO Wash
ington. Gov. Longs term of office as
chief executive of the State does rot
expire until May, 1882.
Long will try to pick his successor
as Governor Cyr, on the other hand,
is a candidate to succeed him. But
Long. ever since his election to the Sem
ate in 1880. has indicated that he
might postpone the active opening of
his siX-year term in the Upper House
until the governorship row is settled
in Louisiana and until there should be
no danger of his political foe, Cyr, up
setting the Long applicant while Long
was in Washington. 1t looks as though
the fiery and eccentric Governor Of
Louisiana had for the time being bitten
off more than he can well chew.
If the Louisiana Senate seat is not
occupied, then the Democrats in the
coming Senate session will not be able
to muster more than As Senators. I'm
doubtedly this will be a sufficient force
to cause the Republican administration
and the Republican organization of the
Senate a good deal of pain on occa-
sion. However, the vacancy from
Louisiana will make it all the more
difficult for the Democrats to organize
the Senate in the coming session, as it
has been suggested they may do with
the aid of Republican insurgents and
perhaps the Farmer-Labor Senator from
minnesota, Henrik Shipstead.
Gov. Longs hesitancy to give up his
old job and assume the senatorial toga
might have been of even greater in
terest to his party had the Democrats
in the last election picked up two more
seats in the Senate now held by Re-
publicans. In that event, with Long in
cluded, the Democrats would have had
a clear majority of the Senate, 40. The
Republicans would have had At, and
ShipStead would have completed the
roster. ShipStead in the past voted with
the Republicans on organization mat
tiers. Longs absence, under such a set
of circumstances, would make it impos-
sible for the Democrats to organize the
Senate and take over the chairmanships
of standing committees.
Under existing conditions, the Demo
Gratis may be able to get along without
the presence of Gov. Long in the COM
ing session of Congress.

e. TELEGRAPH. Guayaquil.-The in
formation comes to us by telegraph
that $4,000 japanese emigrants, for
whose transportation six special yes

their native country annually to come

Most of the japanese of this first exc

Argentina will be considerable.
There has been a prolific increase in
the population of Japan. III the last
four decades the number of people has
doubled and it continues to increase at
the rate of 100000 a year AS the
nation is confined to an archipelago OF
rather limited extent and Of restricted
natural resources, it has long been
necessary for it to seek an outlet Tor
its surplus inhabitants. This remedy
has become increasingly difficult Of APP
pliCation. for one by one many OF the
ports of the world have been closed to
japanese immigration.
British colonies in Australia, New
Zealand South Africa and Canada now
exclude the Japanese entirely The
United States first limited, and then
prohibited under a "gentlemen's agree
ment," further ingresS OF japanese.
More recently similar embargoes have
extended to the Soviet Union and to
