BANDITS HOLD UP TRAIN.
Engineer Wounded and Passen-

A train on the Northern Pacific

going through the passengers. En-
rineer S. 2. Olson of Fargo was shot
twice in order to stop the train and
successful escape in an automobile
which they had awaiting them fol-

The performance as executed was
one of the most daring ever perpetrat

the train stopped at the high bridge

it and went into the day coach. Heav-
ily armed and shooting recklessly IN

Weak Argument Against the Parcels
Post,

New Orleans States A delegation
of merchants engaged in the hard
ware business in various small
towns appeared few days ago be-
fore a committee of Congress to ar
que against the parcels post. They
declared that it would enable the
people in the country and small
towns to buy their goods so much
cheaper than they can buy them
now that the local merchants would
have to go out of business.
The Baltimore Sun is not mn
pressed by this argument, and calls
attention to the fact that from the
town of Hagerstown, in Maryland,
Many electric roads radiate in diff
ferent directions into surrounding
country. "Why not" says the Sum-
prohibit it by requiring the cleo
trio roads to raise their rates, and
so compel the country people to deaI
at the nearest crossroads store? A
great many people come from Hag-
erstown to Baltimore to buy. Why
not have the Interstate Commerct
Commission Compel the railroads tt
make prohibitory rates, so that thu
Baltimore merchants can not sell tt
people in Hagerstown? Why not IL
short. turn back the shadows of pro
Igress and civilization on the dia
Iplate fifteen degrees, and go back
lcpntury or two when nearly all bus
mess was local."
Another argument of the oppo
Inents of the parcels post is that TIT
Isystem would be conducted at a los
Ite the government but no one want
the rates fixed so low that the serv
ice will not yield profit. Such ar
guments are so flimsy that they ar
not worth noticing, and the countr
lis aware of the fact that the oHl
real argument against the parcel
post is the insatiate greed OF the ex
press companies that have long ex
ercised malign influence in Con
gress.
