OF INTEREST TO EDITORS

Every publisher of every legitimate
newspaper. whether city dally OF
country weekly, should rally TO the
support of the so-called Loud bill now
before congress. The interests par
ticularly OF the country editor, are
virtually affected by the measure
which aims to cut off from the prlNi'
leges of secondclass matter not ohiS
raper-covered trash, but those nuiher-
ous fraudulent sheets devoted nlne'
tenths to advertising and one-tonth TO
cheap reading matter. These sheets
trespass murderously on the adyertis-
ing possibilities, particularly OF Inc
country editor. Under absurd inter-
pretations of the present law they are
admitted to the mails as second class
matter. thus paying the same posta!
rate as the legitimate newspaper. me
consequence is that the territory OF
the latter is flooded with them, and
foreign advertisers seek their columns
instead Of bestowing their patronage
upon the bona-fide home newspaper.
This outrage upon the mails IN the
sole interest OF private business enter
nrises results in cheating the rural
weekly even more than the city daily
cut of an amount Of advertising which,
taking into consideration the papers
of the whole country, is simply stu
pendous in amount.
The Loud bill purposes to make
these mere advertising organs come
under a class that will require them
to pay, not one cent postage per pound,
but eight cents per pound, In other
words. they will be forced into the
third class and compelled to get out
of the second. 1t is estimated that
the passage of this measure would
nearly if not quite eliminate the de-
felt of $4,000 600 which was the
amount Of shortage il postal revenues
last year. The Dlli cont-.-s nothing
to which any country or daily ,litor
IN Wisconsin can possibly object and
siastically endorse The house passed
tho bill at the last session Of congress,
but the senate failed TO DO so, and most
OF the $12.00O0O0 deficit is therefore
chargeahle to that body. Editors
should lose no time in writing to their
senators and representatives, urging
fay orable action on the measure. Its
passage cannot fail 10 operate to the
advantage Of every legitimate news
paper. 1t viii also place the postal
department nearly If not quite on a
raging basis and result very soon in
