Death” for the murder of the Governor
of the Point Douglas trading post. With
only one day’s supply the condemned
man had to make his way through four
hundred miles of snow covered wilder-
ness to the nearest settlement of civiliza-
tion. No one was permitted to aid the
man in any way, and the sentence made
the man in effect his own executioner.
This form of justice was common during
the days when the Governor or Factor
of the trading post was the sole judge
and jury in all claims and disputes.
John Ford directed the picture from
the story by Jules Furthman. Included
in the cast are Kathleen Key, Eugene
Pallette, Will Walling, Frank Campeau,
Frank Leigh and Fred Kohler.

“La Traverse Longue,” as the French
trappers referred to the extreme death
penalty administered in the early days
of the Hudson Bay trading posts, was
the most feared sentence that could be
given to any man. It meant certain
death and virtually made a man his own
executioner.
In “'North of Hudson Bay,” the latest
William Fox production starring Tom
Mix, which will be shown at the Dixie
Theatre, the enactment of this severe
punishment forms one of the most dra-
matic moments in the picture.
Tom Mix plays the role of Micheal
Dane, a young prospector who is sen-
tenced to start on “The Journey of
Washington.— The increasing disre-
gard in congress for party lines was
shown last week when the majority
party failed to unseat Sol Bloom, De-
mocratic congressman from New York
city. The event attracted little atten-
tion, though it is most significant.
The contest took on an added im-
portance because it decided how the
New York delegation may vote in the
event that the next presidential elec-
tion is thrown into the house. Under
the constitution, the states vote as a
unit in such a case. Because of the
seating of Congressman Bloom the
New York delegation now consists of
22 Democrats and 21 Republicans.
This makes it possible for the former
to vote the entire delegation in the
event the house is called upon to se-.
lect a president.
The increasing non-partisanship in
the nation’s capital can be best un-
derstood when it is recalled that
enough Republican congressmen voted
for a political opponent, though their
action wrested control of the New
York delegation in the house from
their party.
This would be an unheard-of pro-
cedure a few years ago, but organized
labor’s agitation for non-partisanship
the past 40 years has created a new
public opinion on this subject.

Washington.—Postal workers a -
angry because post office officials clai 1
there can be no wage increase unless
there is a corresponding increase in
postal rates.
The postal workers insist that they
are entitled to a living wage, whether
the department operates at a profit
or a loss.
“We hear nothing of a self-sustain-
ing navy or army or state depart-
ment,” said Editor Flaherty of the
Union Postal Clerk. “The pay and
pension privileges of the admirals and
the generals are not predicated on the
necessity of showing a surplus. Re-
gardless of what the postal revenues
may be—whether they ‘be large or
small—the facts stand out that the
government should pay its postal
workers an adequate wage. Then if it
is deemed advisable to maintain a
self-sustaining postal service, postal
rates can be adjusted accordingly.
“The employes have no control over
postal rates and they should not be
made to stand the brunt of the effects
of a low-wage, lowrate policy that
amounts to a virtual subsidy to a few
business concerns already opulent be-
yond the safety point.”
Editor Flaherty’s reference to a sub-
sidy “to a few business concerns” is
based on benefits of the parcel post
to large shippers and mail order con-
cerns. More than 70 per cent of all
mail handled is this 'business, which
is carried at a loss.
The profits of these concerns in-
crease 'because of parcel post benefits,
while postal workers labor for an in-
sufficient wage, and department heads
assure these workers it is impossible
to raise wages.

In the feature Western attraction,
“The Covered Trail,” which is to have
its local premier at the Key Theater,
April 30 and May 1, the popular west-
ern screen idol, J. B. Warner, had a
miraculous escape from death when he
attempted to ride his horse dowii a
steep mountain. A rock gave way,
and Warner’s pet steed lost its foot-
ing, and both rider and horse rolled
pell mell down the mountain side for
over two hundred feet. The remak-
able thing about it is that Warner
stuck in the saddle through it all. By
some fate of fortune neither rider nor
horse were seriously injured, and es-
caped with only a few minor bruises.
Warner believes in giving his audi-
ence plenty of thrills, and many times
risks his life to put real wallops in his
pictures. Whenever a Sunset Picture
is presented you can bank on the pro-
duction being 100% satisfying. It’s a
Sunshine habit.
