The statement that the Department expert
ences loss in consequence Of its construction
Of the law is contrary to truth. But, true or
false, 1t is altogether irrelevant. The law
must be carried out by the Department with
out regard to its financial results, or to the
manner In which its operation may prejudice
particular persons or classes. If it Is injurious
to the publishers of papers in certain localities,
they may reasonably apply to Congress for
remedy. but certainly they have no right to ex-
pect the Post Office Department to deviate
from It's line Of duty to consult their interests.
and then TO assail it because it prefers adhe-
renee to law to compliance with their demands.
They appear to forget that the Department is

do not entail the duty of protecting newspa per
publishers from the effects Of the competition
to which all other businesses are exposed.
