address to the press OF that CITY

newspapers. 1t makes strenuous
objection to the publication OF 'sen-
satiopal items which, it says,
threaten to undermine the church
and the state. The preachers DO
not specify tn ir indictment, but
call upon the newspapers to ellmi-
nate from their columns what is
generally classed as sensational
matter. The demand is reasonable
enough, and will probably Re com

NEWSPAPER LAWS.

The following are the laws laid
down by the United States govern
ment for the protection of news
papers:
''If subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the
publisher may continue to send
them until arrearages are paid.
If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
fishers, and their paper ia sent to
the former place they are held re-
sponsible.
The courts have decided that re.
fuslng to take periodicals from of.
fee before removing and leaving
them uncalled for is prima facia
evidence of intentional fraud.
If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound TO give notice to
the publisher at the expiration of
their time if they do not wish to
continue taking it; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to send it
on and subscribers will be respon-
sible until an express order to dis
continue the paper with payment
of all is sent to the publisher.
Publishers Of newspapers can
under law, arrest any NAH for
fraud who takes newspaper and
refuses TO pay for it. Under this
law it is dangerous trick for a
man to allow his subscription ae.
count to run on from six months
to a year and then tell the post
master to mark refused or to
send the editor notice to dlscon-
tinue the paper"
