Romance of Stolen Mail BAD.

The English post office department
maintains an official of the nature Of
a historian whose duty is, among 9TH
er things, to collect and record vari-
GUS data about the service. One Of
the most curious exhibits of the de-
partment is a time-worn Oil-canvas
mail bag-a reminiscence Of a daring
mail robbery. This bag is over 100
years old, and was forcibly taken by
an armed footpad one evening in Feb
ruary, 1893, from the postboy who
was carrying the mails between York
and Selby. A reward was offered for
the apprehension of the robber, but no
trace of him or the mail bag was found
until nearly eighty years later. The
discovery then came about in a most
singular manner. In 1876 an old way
side inn was being demolished at
Churchill near Selby, and in the raft
ers the workmen found, among other
things, the long-lost mail bag, it hav-
ing evidently been hidden there by the
highwayman of 1898, after being de-
spoiled of its contents.

illustrated by a Story.

This is the way the service men
have put the matter to the country
and it's legislators 1t is an old story
now, but all of the things which are
said in the quotation given are per-
haps better expressed in little hui
man nature story of the front in
France, for it is human nature that
is at the bottom OF the demand for
bonus.
Two soldiers met in France, One
was from one division and one from
another, but they were from the same
home town in the United States.
BILL" said Jim, have you heard
from homer"
Eyes, Jim, I have heard from home.
Bob Jones managed to keep out OF

Eyes, Bill" said Jim, Bob Jones
kept out of the army and he has my
job and my girl"
This little interchange between two
privates of the A. E. F. in perhaps
somewhat sharper form was included
in vaudeville performance given for
the men at the front. The army CEN
sors cut the dialogue out because it
was believed to be bad for the morale
of the men, but nevertheless in that
interchange is to be found the human
reason for the demand for the bonus.
Recently it seemed that the bonus
bill might not be endorsed by the SEN
ate and it seemed virtually certain
that even if it went through the up
per house the senators would not vote
to override the Presidents veto. To
day things look different. President
Coolidge may sign the bill, but if he
does not it seems probable that con-
gress will pass it over his forbidding
word.

the measure after the Capitol has sent
it to the White House with its ap-
prOyal.
Members of veterans organizations
interested in the subject have said
from the first that the passage of a
bonus bill at some time was newt
able. 1t is more than possible that
proof soon will come that they were
right. 1t is even said that Mr.. Mel
Ions tax reduction plan will not avail
against the bonus
How much influence there has been
in the veterans word to the country
that the case of the bonus bill is one
of Main Street against Wall Street it
is hard to tell, but naturally this kind
of a statement of the matter must
have had some effect. 1t is true that
great associations of business men in
the United States have declared pub
licly against the bonus. saying that 1t
would raise taxes and hurt prosper
ity.
Not Seeking Pay" for Services.
1t has been said in thousand places
that the soldier is seeking pay" for
his service. Here is what representa-
tiveS of the veterans organizations
who are charged with the work of
forwarding the cause of the legisla-
ton say to this charge; it is an ex-
act quotation from an official state
ment:
'The charge has been made that
former service men are seeking pay
for their services. Can any charge
be further from the truth? Can it be
supposed for a moment that if such
were the case, such modest adjust
ment of about a dollar a day would
be asked for what service men went
through?
''The soldier asks no reward for his
service in uniform. That is his pride.
For the hardships, dangers and suf-
ferings he endured already have been
paid for in his knowledge for all time
that in the hour of his country's need
he was called and not found wanting.
"But he is forced to share the eX-
penses of the war, now and in the
future, and pay his proportion of the
debt incurred and of the profits
earned in his absence by others.
He was forced to pay for the high
cost of living, imposed on the entire
country through the prosperity of the
civil population He was forced to
pay his share of the $20-a-day wages
paid to civil workers. He was forced
to pay his share of the bonuses paid
to the railroads and the war contract
ors. He will be forced to pay in the
future for the huge war debt incurred
in part through these large payments
to others in which he did not share,
but for which he is jointly respons-
ible."
The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1923-09-20

Eight hundred acres of the choic-
est land in the Spokane Valley will
be sold on October g., 1928, at abso-
lutte auction. This land is the last
of the well known Post Falls irri-
gated tracts to pass into private
ownership.
The company that originally plat
ted this land was made up chiefly of
Chicago men. They financed much
of the project through the Miami
Corporation, the present mortgage
holders, who are now making a final
cleanup of their holdings in the dis
trict.
Land to be sold consists of 200
acres of bearing orchards, 40 acres
of cultivated land and ITO acres OF
open land. Tracts are from 10 to
40 acres in size. All personal prop
erty is included-plows, sprayers,
cultivators, horses, chickens, pigs,
etc. Also two houses, one a four
room frame house and a five-room
modern bungalow. Ten acres go
with each house and more adjoining
land can be had If desired.
The Post Falls tracts are organized
into a state irrigation district with
