AMERICAS MAY SHUT UP
SHOP ON SUNDAY, TOO
In Delivery of Mail By the
Carriers

A movement has been started here
to discontinue the delivery of mails by
carriers at the postoffice on Sunday,
as at present. The proposition has
been discussed for some time, and as
many of the larger cities of the state
have discontinued this delivery of
mails, it is suggested that Americas,
too, fall in line. OF course this will
not interfere with box holders or the
general mail delivery at o'clock, but
applies only to the carrier delivery
at the postoffice. 1t is quite probable
that the request for discontinuance of
this service will be made Of the post
office department shortly.

of what will be accomplished, even BY
able men, without organization and
without leadership. There must be or
ganization, leadership and unanimity
Of action to accomplish anything in
any Legislative body.
The fourteen Socialistic members
of the Wisconsin Legislature notwith-
standing nearly all Of them are with
out previous legislative experience
and only one, professional man and
what might be termed educated, have
accomplished more in a legislative
way than any similar number of men
in any legislative body in the United
States.
After each days session they meet
in hall and discuss the measures
that will come up the following day,
caucus on these measures and decide
how they will act, a majority deciding
the action, and as result there are
always fourteen votes that go as a.
unit either for or against each meas
ure and in this way they have accom-
plished much that would have been
impossible under any other method
Of procedure.
In the Minnesota Legislature there
has not been a single party caucus
on any measure 1t has been go.as-
you-please, every man for himself, de.
vil-take-the- hindmost affair from be-
ginning up to the present time, and
the result is that committee reports
mean nothing, bills are passed, re
considered and voted down at the
same session, any single member can
start an investigation of any subject
under the sun and there are as many
official party policies as there are
official members Every individual
member is trying to accomplish some
thing along individual lines ana the
result and the inevitable result is
nothing is being accomplished Ten
of the twelve weeks of the session
have gone by and only two important
measures have been enacted into law.
Unless there is a speedy getting to-
gether and unification and an acquies-
ence in majority rule, this Legislature
will go down into history as one of
the most capable individually and one
Of the most incapable collectively

CLAIMS PRISONER IS INSANE
ASYLUM RATHER THAN ELECTRIC
CHAIR ATTORNEYS PLEA.
Mother Who Took Life Of Little Boy
In Swamp Remains Unmoved by
Her Trial.

Albany, March ,f.-Mrs. Edith Mel
Der, on trial for her life for the MUIR
der of her four-year-old boy, sat for
an hour in court scarcely moving
muscle while her attorney, John H.
Dugan, told the jury why he thought
she should be sent to an insane asy
lum for the rest of her days rather
than to the electric chair.
"This poor, defenseless, mindless
woman" was the way Mr.. Dugan al
luded to the prisoner at the bar. II
would not if I COULD" he continued,
"have this woman go from this room
to freedom. I believe that she should
be sent to an asylum, there to spend
under merciful treatment what days
remain to her. We will show you that
her mother and her husband died from
consumption and that the same di-
sease has laid it's deadly grip upon
her.
Then the attorney outlined the
squalid story of the accused since
childhood to what he called the des-
pairing, elimination of her visit to
Albany, when the deadly acid was
forced down the boys throat and his
body left in dreary march. He
charged the prosecution with unusual
haste in proceeding against Mrs. Mel
Der, who was indicted three days after
her arrest and declared that an in
dictment could not have been OBJ
! tanned except through such hurried
| methods.
Several of the jurymen were moved
to tears during the course of the law
yer's address and evidences of emo
ton were also shown by the specta-
ors-three-fourths of whom we're wo.
men.
The first witness for the defense
was John ]. O'Hara, who produced a
map of the scene of the tragedy to
show that the boys body was left in
comparatively open space, although
there was an abundance of wooded
cover.
Then Wilbur Johnson, Michael Con-
nors and the Rev. Uriel H. Graves,
who visited Mrs. Melber while she
was in the poorhouse with her hus-
band testified that her actions caused
them to think that she was irrational
or unreasonable. Other witnesses also
testified to what they considered un.
usual actions on Mrs. Melber's part.
Under cross questioning by the pros
ecuting attorney several of the wit.
nesses admitted that others whom
they regard as rational have done
| things they attributed to Mrs. Melber

Drawing to An End

st. Paul-The thirty-seventh session
of the Minnesota Legislature is rapid
ly drawing to close. Only about two
weeks more remain when it must ad-
journ by reason of the expiration of
its existence by statuary limitation.
At the beginning of the session there
was much talk about Short" SEES
sion and an adjournment before the
ninety-day period had elapsed and
there were some who actually thought
that such would be the case Now,
two weeks from the end they are far
Their behind than any other session
for years, at the same time, and only
by the most tireless industry can
there be any hope of their clearing
up the calendar and finishing every
thing up ship-shape. This can only be
accomplished by the holding of night
sessions almost every night till the
close and the cutting out of all grand
stand play, senseless monkey shines
and by getting down to solid business.
The Legislature in the beginning
promised we'll. It's membership is
above the average ability of Mime
sofa legislatures of the past and
great things were hoped from it. I'm
fortunately it developed into an Gin
dividual" legislature It lacked CO.
hesion and organization. Party lines
there were none. Every member
seemed to be out to make an
individual record and when hundred
and twenty different men start out to
make an individual record each for
himself, without the aid and assist
ance of any one else the result is, nc
one accomplishes anything. Those
men and newspapers who are anG
have been decrying party organization
and yelling their heads off about
bosses and combinations can point tt
the present legislature as an example
