FISH NOW TALKED
AS G. 0. P. LEADER
Republicans Realize They
Must Dispose of Hamil-
ton and Landon
TO PLAN NOW FOR 1910
Trouble Is Republicans Don't Know
How To Be Minority Party;
Necessity for Immediate
Move Recognized
TO PLAN NOW FOR 1910
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

Washington, Nov. 19.-Republicans
generally agree with Chairman John
D. M. Hamilton of the G. o. p. ma
tional committee that their party
must be "revitalized" or it is done
for, permanently
They also agree with him that re-
vitalization must begin Immediately;
that it can't take" if it isn't begun
until nearly the last minute in 1910.
What they doubt Is that 1t can be
revitalized in any circumstances with
ALI M. Landon as it's nominal leader
and Hamilton's management-or mis-
management, as many of them speak
of it.
A HINT TO HAMILTON
Republican leaders laugh, but not
a bit mirthfully, when Hamilton talks
of getting together with Landon to
plan for the future.
Their notion Is that the sooner
Hamilton is retired the better, and
they say that his successors first bus
mess will be to start on the job of
building up a 1910 candidate-most
emphatically some other candidate
than Landon.
They reason also that it was a cap
ital mistake to try to make the west
a center of Republican strength. They
know why the attempt was made. The

Longest Lakes

r AXE SUPERIOR is not only the
IL biggest lake in the Unite d
States, but it's also the largest
body of fresh water in the world.
It's not the longest American lake,
however, for Lake Michigan is 316
miles from end to end as COM
pared to Superior's 254 miles. Both,
however, have to bow to another

ster, Mass, lies Lake Chargogga-

and 10 as!
According to tradition, this name
developed from the fact that the
original inhabitants of the region
liked to fish in this lake which had
three divisions-upper, middle and
lower-and the fishing was best in
the middle. Two Indian tribes,
living at opposite ends of the lake,
used to dispute over which had the
right to fish there.
Finally they patched up their diff
ferences and made a treaty provid-
ing those living at the upper end
would fish in the upper lake, those
living at the lower end could use
the lower lake, but neither could
fish in the middle lake. From that
treaty the lake got it's name: Char

Father-COngressman

ONLY one Roman Catholic priest
" ever served in the congress of
the United States, and he wasn't
even a native-born American.
He was Father Gabriel Richard,
born in La Vile de Saintes, France,
on October Is, 1857. Ordained
priest in 1890, he emigrated to the
United States two years later and
settled in Baltimore where he was
appointed professor of mathemat-
les in St. Mary's college located in
that city.
Then he was sent as mission
airy to the Indians in the old North
west territory. He was stationed
first at Kaskaskia, ILL.,, and in 1893
was placed in charge of st. Anne's
parish in Detroit. He brought with
him Michigan's first printing press
and printed the first books and the
first newspaper published in De-
troit. Greatly interested in educa-
ton, he aided in establishing
schools and was one of the found
ers of the University of Michigan
at Ann Arbor.
Father Richard was elected to
the Eighteenth congress, serving
from March, 1923, to March, 1925.
He was defeated for reelection and
returned to his church duties in
Detroit. He died there September
Is, 1882.

to look the situation over, the
Rangers weren't ready for them.
Deputy Sheriff Grimes attempted
to arrest the trio and was shot
dead. Immediately three Rang
ers, Connor, Harrell and Ware,
Joined in the battle. Ware killed
Seaborn Barnes, one of the BAN
dts, and Harrell shot and seri-
ously wounded Bass. But the
bandit leader was picked up by
Frank Jackson, the third men,
Der of the trio, who carried him
safely out of town through a hail
of bullets from the Rangers
guns.
Knowing that he was mortally
wounded, Bass persuaded Jack
son to leave him and make good
his escape, which Jackson did.
The next day the Rangers found
the wounded bandit leader lying
under a live oak tree some dis
lance from where Jackson had
left him. They carried him back
into Round Rock and there on
Sunday, July 81 he died.
"While his riddled body lay in
the grave at Round Rock near
the site of his last camp, Sam
Bass lived on in song andlegend,"
writes his biographer. "He had

THE SAGA OF SAM BASS

Bass legends have been those of
buried gold {. For more than
half a century, men armed with
maps and spades-and some
times with divining rods - have
been looking for chests of gold
they believed Sam buried. (His
biographer lists a score of places
where this "buried treasure" has
been sought and then continues:)
Where the searchers will strike
next, no one can tell. AS long as
Sam Bass legends persist, no
Texan can be sure that he will
not awake some morning to find
a ton of earth removed from his
front yard by some romanticist
who has just come into posses
sion of the one authentic treas

All of which makes more I'M
derstandable the fact that Sam

heroes of Texas. But why his

prived of early schooling and of
parental guidance-fen into evil
ways to become in turn gambler,
highwayman and train robber.
In folklore, he soon became a
cowboy hero who refused to be-
tray his pals, a Robin Hood who
eluded his pursuers with ease
and shared his stolen gold with
out stint. Of the many despera-
does of the frontier, he was
remembered as the beloved
bandit.
''The generosity of Sam with
the twenty-dollar gold pieces he
brought back from the big train
robbery in Nebraska gave him
fame as Robin Hood even while
he was living; and after his
death the stories of his giving
and spending were enlarged.
Payments of twenty dollars for
a dozen eggs or pan of warm
biscuits were reported from
many directions.

PreSident-Maker

LIS name may have been Jona-
II than Robins, American, or it
may have been Thomas Nash, Eng
ishman-which, history has never
decided for sure. But it is certain
that his death kept John Adams
from serving second term in the
White House.
Robins, according to his story,
was a Danbury Comm boy attend
ing school in England when he was
seized by British press gang"
and forced to serve in the British
navy. OFF the coast of Spain he
struck down and killed the brutal
captain of his ship, leaped over
board and swan safely to shore.
Making his way to Paris, he pre-
scented himself to the American
minister who obtained passage for
him on a ship bound for Charles
ton, S. c.
When he reached Charleston, the
British consul there demanded his
surrender, under the terms of the
Jay treaty, and his return to Eng
land to stand trial for murder.
Despite Robins protest that he was
an American, the consul declared
that he was in reality Thomas
Nash, a British subject.
Robins-Nash became an interna-
tional figure-the symbol of a dis
pute between two nations. Finally
John Adams settled it by ordering
the boy to be surrendered. He was
taken to England, tried n d
hanged. Then the storm broke.
The Republicans, who had repeat
edly denounced the treaty made by
John Jay, the Federalist, seized
upon the incident for political am
munition. The Republican papers
kept it hot in the minds of the
public and heaped abuse on
Adams head for "servile trucking
to Great Britain" When the next
election came, he was eliminated
from the race which lay between
jefferson and Aaron Burr and JEFF
ferson won.
