A FAREWELL FOR WILD HOR8E8
(liy liruec .leanings in Our I>?iinl>
Animal**)
It Is almost twenty years since I
kuw iny last huiid of wild horses. Kven
then they wore h great novelty?already
becoming a purt of Western
.tradition, the cabled and gallant
creatures (if an earlier ami more
primitive age, destined to disappear
so completely within (he next two docadeh
that the vlHttor who would now
catch sight (if them muHt truvol into
the most lonely und dc-solute region*
if the West.
How-well I remember thin last bruvo
little hand! I wan only a boy at the
time., Htlll In my teem*, und 1 could
sympathise to the full with their wild,
freedom loving nature* They passed
over an open area to the went (if our
ranch, perhapa thirty in number, led
by a beautiful buckHkln stallion; and
we Hide out for u Dearer view of
I belli
It wan the spring of the year, and
they had coino In off the winter range
lean and hard and whining In the
bright Hunlight. A few long-legged
oils tagged at the heels of their
mot he i'h. The stallion pranced high,
loads In air, nostrils diBtendcd, allvo
III every muHcle and llhre. The hand
watched us for a few momenta, half
HtiHph Ion, half curloally, then moved
oil through tlie augn In a cloud of
dual. So euaily did they move, ao
bountifully and aurely, that wo aat
on our horaea, loat In admlratlou.
Here la* the perfect subject for the
aculptor; the wild atalllou, eura pointed,
questioning, neck und tall arched,
fore leg raised, every muscle teuBed,
Ideally suggestive <?r everything wild,
beautiful and untamable In God's
creatures, In the instant before he
springs into action. Yet already the
wild horse belongs to the past!
My uncle, a roatner by heart, who
traveled the West before that last
golden spike Was driven to link It
with the Fust with bands of steel, aaw
wild horaea by the thousands. Free
and untroubled, their only natural enemy
the cougar, their only challenge
tlie unfenced miles, they were un Integral
purt of the picturesque vitality
(if the old West.
'loday almoHt unknown, relegated
to the moat arid and out-of-the-way
regions ot the West, u hare handful
in numbers, the wild horse somehow
manages to survive. Unprotected bylaw
or any sort, the easy victim of
anyone with a rifle und without a
heart, the w-ild horse is one of the
major victims in the gory business
of "civilizing" the West.
The tirst settlers were the bitter
enemies of the wild horse. Their own
domesticated animals, reminded perhaps
of an earlier freedom, sometimes
ran away to join the roving
hands. Accordingly, the mu/.zleloadItig
rifles took their toll until barbed
wire fences could bo built. Iu the
years since then barbed wire has
spread its strangle hold upon the desirable
range until the few surviving
wild horses have boeu forced into regions
of the West which have been
properly described as "desert." Here
they are occasionally raided by cattlemen
seeking saddle-horses at little
expense or shot down by "sportsmen."
Hut the settler Was not so responsible
lor tin? virtual extermination of
the wild horse as were the meat
packers. High beef prices during mul
immediately following the World War
resulted in the systematic slaughter
<>t tens of thousands of wild horses.
The horses were trapped, killed, packed.
and shipped to foreign markets,
few boys familiar with the ranges did
(lie work. prullt??ers reaped their fat
rewards, and t.fie wild horse became
tin- victim, like so many other species
ot American wild lite, of the coin;|"i?ial
tn*11liet and public indiilcrcm
I lie extermination of the buftalo
was no more vicious and unprincipled
'ban the ? xt. rminatlnn of the wild
louse. Anv mil who has ever seen
tlioc beautiful creatures living their
"at in al exist em e must be filled with
a deep sense oi shame, indignation,
and regret when lie contemplates their
present status
For his centuries of life free and
unfettered, bred into the wild horse
many desirable qualities and virtually
made of him a superior breed.
Hardy, surefooted, sensitive, brave
and intelligent these are the virtues
of the wild horse. And his devotion
ami loyalty to tits master, when he
lias once been caught and tamed is
almost legendary. I have heard many
cauiptlre stories of a wild horse's remaining
by the body of a rider who
has been accidentally kilted or seriously
injured, fighting off the coyotes
5 sometimes for days at a time, until
helo would arrive.
Ihis is the character of the wild
horse', native of America's plains and
mountains, known only to a few, but :
by those few loved and admired. The
noble survivor of a once numerous'
generation, he will perhaps become in [
story the symbol of an America be-,
tore the day of the machine?an America.
young atnl wild and eager, and >
loving of freedom.
For us who have known the wild
horse in his natural habitat, there is j
something sail in the thought that'
we shall perhaps no longer sue him 1
racing through the sag.- or hear his'
hoof beats in the foothills of a sum j
mer night or listen to him whistling '
to his mate In the dawn. This is of
tjie stuff of which life in the West is
made, rich and beautiful, and if we
who once knew him are to know him
no more, we are at least granted the
privilege of writing for the wild horse
this his obittuary.

The Anderson Independent rises 10
romurk that the South Carolina mate' '
senate mubt pick presiding officers
with a remarkable lack of natural
dignity, or else they wish to make the
president's seat assume the air of a
heavenly throne.
That much is to be gathered from
the fact that the senate voted $180
for a robe for the lieutenant governor,
which he did not have a chance to
wear? and then, it seemed this rohe
was not good enough for Senator
John Williams, president pro tern, and
liis suceeBBor, Senator Stukes.
The latter was given a robo at $180,
and it was charged to the people; and
Williams had a robe replaced at a
cost of $125. Claud Taylor, speaker of
the house, was not permitted to be
outdone. The house gave him a robe
also costing $180.
That adds up to about $655 spent I
for robes during a session that belled I
the assumed dignity of its presiding 1
officers, bo garbed in their tailored I
robes as to make proper applications I
at the Pearly Gates, should the occa- I
sion have arisen.
Hack home, meanwhile, hundreds of I
people were glad to get a few cast-off H
shoes from the Salvation Army or a I
cotton shirt or two from relief head- I
quarters. But senators and presiding 1
officers, it seems, must be draped in
dignity for some unknown reason?
and the people pay.
