Henry Plummer, their leader, vas sher:
If, and that most Of our citizenry re
sented the fact that the chief justic,
OF Idaho was an appointee of Abraham
Lincoln, 1t will be seen it required our.
age on his part to have thus publicly
shown his colors.
Most old timers are familiar with thu
story Of what happened in Virgins

ed into town and firmly imbedded ir
the ground, the upper part pointing
straight to the sky. This work salts
factorily accomplished, the tired mer
who had set the pole sought theil
hunks and a good nights sleep. Early
in the morning they went out to run UP
the flag, only to discover that while
they slept the enemy had labored. The
trim, shapely flag staff had disappear
ed-gone to supplement the firewood
stock of some adherent to the cause
that vas not then lost.
What should be done? It would nev-
er do to acknowledge defeat, and what
kind Of a Fourth of July would it be
without a flag to which they could
point with pride! Nothing daunted,
the hills were again visited, another
tree cut down, taken to the city and
triumphantly reared and from its sum-
nit the Union emblem was proudly
floated. Carefully guarded. it securely
remained aloft, bright in the Montana
sunlight, applauded by the Union men;
hissed-and worse-by the opposition.
This same opposition must have been
halt -hearted, or they easily could have
the Union men. Perhaps, af-
ter all, they cherished a lingering at
tachment for the banner of their faith
ers.
During the Spanish war, again the
flag came into its own, grazing process
sions of departing troops and the plat
forms of spelbinders who were stimu-
lating the wal spirit.
Time went on, and I had the pleasure
of witnessing in a Montana city, auto
mobile after automobile, tearing down
the streets to bring in voters, while
from the rear of their cars hung the
Stars and Stripes trailing in the dust,
yet designed to indicate the unques-
toned patriotism of the party using
it. Times had changed in Montana,
and sentiment regarding the flag with
it.
Then following a period of waning
for the national emblem,
to be again wakened to life by the War
to End War. There were flags, flags
everywhere on every conceivable OBJ
ject. They blossomed out in church
and schoolroom; adorned residences;
collars, handkerchiefs-and
hosiery also, if I am not mistaken. A
ritual for it was invented, while child
rem and others were instructed in the
proper signs to make in its presence.
From a disputed emblem it had risen
to the rank of a demi-god, yet unaware
its exaltation today serves the prac-
tical purpose of indicating govern
mental offices, here in Montana as
in the vast territory under
the dominion of the United States. It
is a far cry from 1868, I thought, as I
watched the flag writhing OF its staff
above the postoffice.

NEW YORK, NY, March 27.

touches and dipping into a

Damon Runyon, Mike Jacobs,

Desire Keen as Ever
Although the value of the
Derby has been reduced to
$4,000 this year, the desire to
win it is as keen as ever, and the
field is likely to be the most
representative in a decade. I
say that because the Far West

gerous candidate this time in
Norman Church's Riskulus.
The coast usually sends a
runner or so after the big blue
grass heat. and they are in
variably highly touted in ad-
vance of the race. But as
derby day approaches they are
apt to flatten out and rarely
do they figure prominently in
the running.
Nevertheless, there is some
foundation for the claim of

Race Run Too Early
And while I have never been
able to enthuse over winter
horses for the derby, there is
this to be remembered. They
are running the race earlier
each year-this spring they
have it pushed up to May s.
so that the frost is barely out
of the ground here in the East
when it is derby day. Unless
they get an open spring,
eastern horsemen have almost
no chance to prepare their
horses for such a distance
event.
The change in derby date
was made because of a possible
conflict with the Preakness and
was a shrewd move at the
time. But while it is held in
high esteem along the Eastern
Sho' and pulls 'em out OF the
bushes in droves from Mary
land, Virginia and Pennsyl-
vania, the Preakness is not the
derby, and is never likely to
hurt the derby much. There
fore some of us hope that next
Marse Matt Winn and his asso-
ciates will return there race to
it's normal time-the middle OF
May. A.. t;rs+
Saturday of the month, tne
winter horses get the edge they
would not otherwise have, so
that Riskulis, Tatanne. the Lou
isiana Derby winner; Time
Clock, who took down first
money in the Florida Derby, ana
other three-year-olds that nave
campaigned over winter tracks
must be seriously considered.
Won't Help Beat Shaw
None of which is going to
help me beat Mr.. Shaw in that
future book. I'd delight to win
one of those wagers if for no
other reason than that I never
have, and would like to print a
picture of Mr.. Shaw's checK
Under the caption: who Says
They Can't Beat Us?"
But which one to light on?
That's the rub. It's a race
filled. with mystery and intrigue
in more ways than one. The
Dixiana Farms Mata Hari is
co-favorite now in Shaw's price
line with the colt Sir Thomas'
which was named after Long
Tom and in which he has a dis
tinct roofing interest.
Twas standing near him when
Singing Wood nosed Long Tom
out in the rich Belmont futurlty
last fall, and when the numbers
went up after one of those waits
in which nobody was brazen
enough to try and name the
winner, Mr.. S. uttered a weak
and mournful sound and the
perspiration popped out on his
forehead like the dew on a
morning rose.
sweats Over 100000
But who wouldn't sweat a
little over a difference OF $780,
900?
Sir Thomas may make his con-
nections forget that disastrous
nose by knocking of the derby
by the same margin. And then
again, of course, he may not.
All that anybody knows about
him at this time is that he is a
rangy, powerful looking fellow,
who showed as a two-year-old an
inclination to come on. If my
memory is correct he is a Sir
Gallahad III, which was the sire
of Gallant Fox, and the Sir Gal
lahads usually appreciate dis
tance.
But I would not care for any
10 to Ibis current price-on
Sir Thomas at this time. Be-
sides which it wouldn't be much
fun beating Shaw on a horse he
probably fancies himself.
