Laws of Newsparers.

We clip the following from the Prairie
therein, fully:
"Since setting out with the Local we
have not until last Saturday made a dun
for any amount due this Office. but at that
time caused statements to be made Of the
amounts due US from various individuals
on account of subscription. 1t is matter
of much importance to US that We now re-
ceive these duties Immediately, and geutle-
men who receive these statements through
the Post Office will please to understand
that we are in earnest. We have come to
the conclusion that it IS perfectly in keep
ing with spirit of respect and friendship,
to those persons to whom we send these
statements, for us to request them in good
plain English to pay these dues, anu ii
necessary to demand their payment. If
there is class of business men, who must
have every cent that is due them on ac-
count Of their labor IN order to meet their
own responsibilities and preserve their
promise good to those who credit them,
that class are proprletors OF country news
papers.
What man happens 70 owe upon sub
Scription to one of his home papers he
should pay as the most binding obligation
that he ever incurred. We intend the
statements OF arrearages on account Of
subscription that we have sent, as simply
friendly reminders to those who are receiv-
ing papers from this Office, and who are
in debt to it by reason Of little good
meaning thoughtlessness. But those
persons who will receive their home paper
from one year to another, with but little
thought of ever paying for it, We should
say as before that these statements mean
business. We will conclude with publish
ing the laws in regard to subscription to
newspapers.
l. Any person who takes paper taken
regularly FROM the oftice-whether directed
to his name or anothers, whether he has
subscribed or not-is responsible for the
pay.
2. If q person orders his paper Giscon-
| tinued, he must pay all arrearages, or the
| publisher may continue to send it until
payment is made, and collect the whole
amount, whether it is taken from the Office
| or not.
3. The courts have decided that refusing
to take newspapers and periodicals from
the post-oihce, or removing and leaving
| them uncalled for, is prinaa Jacia evidence
of Intentional fraud.
