 Breach Is Disclosed
 A breach in the senate banking committee today disclosed six dom- ocrats standing solidly behind Sec .retary Mellon in opposing proposed silver purchase legislation and thc republican majority to override the secretary.

Editorial Comment

Fargo Forum)

That there is steadily mounting sentiment in
the United States in favor of the imposition Of more
drastic penalties against criminals is fact reflected
in the annual report Of Postmaster General New.
who urges that the death penalty be exaced Of ban
dts who rob the mails and place the lives of postal
employees in jeopardy
Postmaster General New would not confnc the
death penalty to those bandits who find it neces-
sary, think they do to end the lives of the men
entrusted with the and protection Of the mail
they covct. He would use it against them a pen
atty for robbery Of the mails by the display Of fire
arms.
The placing Of marine corps guards on mail
trains resorted to several weeks ago by the United
States government as a guarantee that the mails
should be safe against marauders, has had salu-
tary effect We have had none of the big rcbberies
since that step taken, but it should not be nee
essary, in these United States, to transport cur
mails safely oEy by display of force.
/ That the mail bandits, like bank bandits who have
held high carnival in the northwest this season. will
shoot to kill has been disclosed on mere than
one occasion, and the bandit who robs the mails
prepared to do murder if necessary, like the bank
bandit who is ready to Stay his helpless victim if
he shows the slightest inclination to resist, is en-
titled to consideration than he who does
actually Kill
/ Both arc killers, and there should be distinc-
ton in the penalty.

Old Masters

At the corner of Wood street. when
daylight appears,
Hangs a thrush that sings loud, il
has sung for three years:
Poor Susan has passed by the spot,
and has heard
In the silence Of morning the song
of the bird.
IT'S note Of enchantmcnt; what
ails her? She sees
A mountain ascending, vision Of
trees;
Bright volumes of vapor through
LOthbury glide.
And a river flows on through the
vale Of Cheapside.
Green pastures she views in the
midst Of the dale
Down which she SO often has tripped
with her pail;
And a single small cottage, nest
like doves,
The one only dwelling on earth that
she loves.
She looks, and her heart is in
heaven; but they fade.
The mist and the river, the hill and
The stream will not flow. and the
hill will not rise. ]. 4

IN NEW YORK

New York, Dcc.> IL. broadway now
boasts theatcr where hot dogs are
served in the lobby to ladies in
crmincs \and chinchillas and men in
evening clothes.
The performance, starts at mid
night and ends just in time for the
theatcrgOers to arrive at the night
clubs at the proper morning hours.
Meanwhile they can partakc Of
hot dogs and, their appetitcs whct-
ted, can save money ut the various
resorts.
And one of the favorite amusc-
mcnts at the prevent time among
broadway Summers" is having
photographs taken at little slot
machine picture gallery.
One wandcrs in and drops Il quar-
ter in the slot. A lens is automati-
cally focused and photos are shot at
several angles. The films are. auto
matically developed and printed and,
within few moments, out drop
| eight pictures.
The novelty is cleaning up vcri-
table mint.
With all due respect to "Abic's
Ieish Rose the most popular attrac-
ton on Broadway is the flea circus.
1t has been running steadily for more
than year, though the cast has been
changed many times due to the cs-
cape Of fleas and death or age OF
performers.
Whereas Able gets only nightly
audiences, with occasional matinecs,
the performing flcas come on with a
show every few hours during the
! rush hours and, it is safe to say.
that they have drawing record
that few Of the famous Broadway
stars can boast
! The fleas attract thousands Of
repeater" who have found it hard
to believe upon first visit that
fleas actually have been trained to
do various stunts, including draw
ing tiny vehicles.
1t is figured that the theatrical
flcas will be able to enjoy a cOntinu-
Gus run for two or three years. For
4 time it was quite vogue among
the Bohcmians of Manhattan to at
tend this novelty en- massc. There
after the flcaS gained even further
notice by appearing in movies. Sew
eral of the magazines of culture"
wrote articles about them.
But the greatest trouble, ! am in
formed by the trainer, is caused by
thicving souvenir hounds" Several
fine performers, l ann told, have been
kidnapped.
At least two or three leading men
and women have been lifted and a
disappearance of minor character
occurs on an average of every month
or SO.
Since it takes much time to train
flea the loss is considerable, though
the trainer says he never is taken
seriously when he calls the police
and tells them flea has been stolen.
The inevitable answer is: "Wcll.
it seems to me you'd lie darn glad to
get rid of the thing"
