PAYNE, NEW YORK - BUR) (Official City, State and County Newspaper) nts Air Mail The first pouch of mail to be delivered by air in Bismarck arrived here with of air flyers touring the northwest in connection with project to extend aerial mail service from Chicago to the Twin Cities. It Capital a convoy mail was an historic event in the history of the ty in that it marks the first step in the establishment of a transcontinental air route from St. Paul through Bismarck to ttle. More than any jpart of the country, the north needs air mai] service. The innovation would mean an immense time saving to business in correspondence with eastern For instance, it takes at least four days for a letter mailed in Bismarck to reach the e: If the letter were mailed on the Comet, Monday night, it could not be delivered in New York before Friday morn ing. With an air mail line in operation between the Twin Cities and Chicago, the same piece of mail would reach its destination with a saving of two days’ time. The immediate advantages of air mail go hand in hand with ultimate benefits of a very important character as pointed out by Marion Northrop, pres ident of the Northrop Airplane corporation, Minne apolis. The executive stated in a talk at Associa tion of Commerce headquarters last night that the most practical avenue for development of commer-| cial aeronautics has proved to be air mail flying. The Kelly bill authorizing the installation of mail postal service also provides that the postoffice department may enter contracts with private air <transfer companies for deiivery of mail in connec- tion with transportation of passengers and express matter when the latter does not interfere with mail service. Since the close of the war, there has ‘been much talk of the future of commercial aviation. So far, commercial aviation has not made a good start The only successful accomplishment in the nature of commercial aviation has been air mail service. The fact that the postoffice contemplat stablish- ment of nine new air mail routes in various tions of the country within the near future attests the popularity of the new mail delivery, nection with passenger and express serv: Of the nine designated routes, the Chicago-Twin Cities project will, it is expected, receive primary consideration. The Twin Cities will rely on the active support of tie neighboring northwest in their project. And there is no doubt that the northwest. and particularly Nort Dakota, will enthusiastically endorse the venture. west houses factory centers. a in con- A New Fight Deal We need a new heavyweight champion. Associated Press dispatches from New York quote Jimmy DeForest, Jack Dempsey's old time trainer, friend and adviser, to the effect that the ring idol hag accumulated several layers of fat above the ears, and ia woefully soft and weak in the nfid section. “I watched him work out in the gym and I am satisfied it will take him six months to get into shape for Wills,” DeForest is reported as saying. “I could name four heavyweights who could knock Dempsey flat in a few rounds, as he is today.” DeForest knows. Firpo could be wearing th heavyweight crown today if he had listened to De- Forest. It ig a strange combination of circumstances that allows a man who has so far neglected training to be too fat to fight to be acknowledged as heavy- weight title-holder of the world. The situation is funny. But it has a larger aspect. It constitutes an arraignment of the prevailing system of gladia- torial pugilism. The fight game today is a commercial venture. It exploits the average man’s passion for ‘physical combat. The game was not always a money propo- sition. John L. Sullivan, who popularized fightins as a sport in America, did not fight for money al- though he became fabulously rich during his career ag a pugilist. But John L. never turned down a fair challenge because the challenger could not put up the necessary guarantee. It is well known that John D. was a hard drinker, and that he became fat and flabby, but he never went three years without risking his crown in the ring. The public wants a new deal all around in the fight game. é News From Highway Front Figures on automobile killings read like war reports. Our new front is composed of the city streets and the open highways. More than 400 people were killed in fifty-seven cities during the four weeks ending July 18 and practically the same number during the four weeks previous to this period. And this is not all. Faulty reporting of accidents is usually the case and there are many fatalities never reported. The cities mentioned only com: ‘prise a quarter of the population. Police power everywhere seems powerless to cope with the carelessness of drivers. It is a price every community seems willing to pay for pleasure and speed.

The Law Now comes a distinguished legal light who says that the simple statement “I leave all I have to my wife” not a good will. There could easily be cir cumstances, he says, under which such a will could be shot full of holes by contesting parties. And that, dear reader, is just why the average citizen is growing more and more suspicious about “the due process of law.” For in no place in the world except in a court of law could that statement be misunderstood. Isn't it about time that our courts and lawyers began to concern themselves little more with the piain rights and wrongs of a case instead of the legal! technicalities?

Duke of tobacco fame, and the other is Benjamin N. Duke, not quite as wealthy as his brother, but with plenty of money of his own. James B. Duke has been giving liberally of his means to universities and hospita:s, while Benjamin N. Duke has tbeen giving almost as liberally to the secondary colleges of his native state. He seems to think young men and women must have help before | they reach the standard colleges and universities. Both are doing a fine thing in making it easier for youmg men and women to obtain education. North Carolina is fortunate in having two sons of wealth and the disposition to uss their wealth wisely. (Minneapolis Journal) ‘Recently The Journal said: “Fear of the scaf fold is the only effective deterrent of armed band- itry.". This moved the Fairmont Sentinel to loud | outcry. Did fear of the scaffold deter Scott from banditry and murder? Did it dissuade Leopold and Loeb from killing? Did it prevent 185 murders from being committed in Chicago alone the first six months of 1925? More than a murder a day, despite Illinois’ capital punishment Jaw, exclaims the Sentimental—beg pardon, the Sentinel—as if that proved its case to the hilt. In ita haste to condemn capital punishment our Fairmont contemporary entirely misses the point. Mark that what The Journal said was “fear of the scaffold.” Is there any fear of the scaffold among Chicago’s crooks and murderers? Not so you would notice it. Every last one of them knows that escape from the gallows after committing a murder is al- most certain. Here is Scott, first reprieved by the Governor and then further reprieved by the absurd conten- tion, now to be seriously considered ‘by the courts, that he is insane from “cell shock”! The poor unfortunate murderer was thrown into jail and the burdens of imprisonment have undermined his rea- son! Therefore, let him go free, or perhaps spend a few pleasant years in an asylum, until the public forgets, and then release him for more crimes. When did Leopold and Loeb have any fear of the scaffold? What reason had they to fear it in INi- nois? Between sentimentalism and legal loopholes, the Illinois murderer almost always escapes the gibbet. Capital punishment on the statute books is nearly a dead letter. It strikes fear to the soul wf no potential murderer, because his chances of escape, even if detected, are about ninety-nine out of a hundred. A murder a day in Chicago, yesa—but how many hangings? If Illinois convicted her murderers ‘promptly, after due and fair trial; if she sent them to the gallows without recourse; if she wavel aside the sentimentalists and the legal casuists and the psychological experts and all the other hair- splitters, and ordered quick, sure justice done — then, and then only, would “fear of the scaffold” do} its work of deterring armed banditry. It is only necessary to observe countries like England where this ig done, to see what capital ‘punishment, mercilessly and justly inflicted, accom- A mob flouting the law does not deal out justice | THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE His Antidote for Every Industrial Ailment \ Yun KNOW Joan, | IDoNT Beueve TAT | KIND OF A CURE IS i GOING To BE VERY PERMANENT. | shops in New York in which the s of gold leaf beating goes on it did some 2,000 years ago.

And now it was a mid-summer night. ‘A wet moon was diffused by a thin veil of cloud, casting a premature darkness over a deep blue night. Jammed in a concrete semi-circle were some 10,000 persons. The orchestra was interpreting the fears of the great Slav. They were playing Tchaikovsky's “Pathetique” symphony. Out of the dark subway hole crowds scurried like rats.

What sort of religion they “got” not stated, but if it was the re- ligion of the Golden Rule, nothing better could happen, to Herrin or any other community scourged with the bitterness of class and industrial war. Let capitalists and laborers alike judge themselves by that standard, and better methods than fighting will at once enter for the settlement of industrial issues. If both parties fight fi will soon cease to fight at Abstractly, everybody is for the Golden Rule. But apply it concrete- ly to these industrial disputes and see how it works out. Labor regards “blacklist¢ng” they fore it will itself quit boycotting, and will deal cordially with the busi- ness establishment that refuses to join its trade association Labor demands the right to or- ganize. Therefore it will deal with employers’ associations, and not play one employer against another. Capital claims the right to choose its. own attorneys. Therefore, it will deal with whatever representa- es labor designates, without im- posing limitations on’ the field of that choice. And so, on. Whatever we think wrong when tHe other fellow does it, we will not do ourselves, Whatever we wish he would do to us, we will first do to him. Try this out, on your own side of your own disputes, as a test of what sort of religion you have “got.” The Real Value In The Dayton Trial These paragraphs, for the past few weeks, have been’ written too far away, across the ocean, to permit any up-to-date running daily com- jment on the famous “monkey case” If one would have good, sound, clean teeth, or if a mother would have her child have good, sound, clean, well-shaped teeth, plenty of lime foods must be eaten. Some of the foods that contain this substance are milk, spinach, as- paragus, string beans, onions, car-| rots, celery, cauliflower and other foods containing calcium. Bad teeth seem to go with ci zation, along with poor eyesight, ner- vous strain and certain other disad- vantages of our enlightened era. Primitive people never see a tooth- wrong when done by capital. There-| with which this year's “silly season” has been enlivened. A Now that it is over, and the writer is on the sea, going home, there may be room for the expression of a hope that the dramatic fashion in which the show was put on will have served its purpose. It will have taught Tennessee, and all other communities or gtoups tempted to follow its example, that the eyes of the world are on them, and that most of the world thinks them absurd. Tt will have taught whole multi- tudes more about modern thought than they ever knew before. Tt will have taught them that, no matter how inconsistent evolution and. Christianity may appear to |them, most of the ‘Christian world thinks otherwise, . Finally, the case will come up in the higher courts, where the legal | issue will be determined more intel- ligently and less dramatically. But the main gain is that this pre- ‘liminary discussion will have ren- dered that final decision unimpor- ,tant when it comes. Whether a state has the legal right to pass such laws or not, no more states will do so, and Tennesy see will soon repeal its law. Such unwholesome growths can not stand the light, and this well- aged dispute, amusing as some of it was, has let in the light. RR er ee | ATHOUGHT !

For civilized folk the toothbrush has come to be almost indispensable. It should be used once a day, and if possible twice a day.
