VIC hold that he cannot. Following are
alleged subscription laws. which have
been published in the form of a dodger,
and misled many publishers as well as
subscribers:
~ Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary are considered as
wishing to renew subscriptions.
" IL subscribers order discontnuance
OF their periodicals. the publisher may
continue TO send them until all arrears
are paid.
CD If subscribers neglect or refuse TO
take their periodicals from the post
Office to which they are directed, they are
responsible until they have settled their
bills and ordered them discontinued.
Cd II subscribers move to other places
without informing the publisher. and the
papers are sent to the former address,
they are held responsible.
fuslng to take periodicals from the office.
or removing and leaving them uncalled
for, is a prina facie evidence Of inten-
tional fraud.
OF these alleged laws, the Postal Guide
has this to say:
At the department this sort Of thing is
pronounced a mere modified form OF
blackmail. In the first place, there are
no such United States laws as here rep
resented to exist, and the publishers who
issue the circulars know It, as they COM
monty take the precaution to indicate in
a preamble that the compilation was
made by somebody ese-thus trying 10
evade personal responsibility for the
fraud. All the relations between publish
ers and subscribers are governed by the
common law and statutes as in force in
the several States. In New York one rule
may prevail, i'm Massachusetts, another.
The POst-Ofice Department, moreover,
has nothing whatever 10 do with the
whole matter further than to instruct
its postmasters that they must not lend
their official aid to publiAhas in forcing
periodicals upon unwilling addresses. II
a person notifies postmaster that he
does not want a certain paper or maya
zine delivered any longer in his mail
the postmaster is required, not only to
respect the request but also to send TO
the publisher a formal notice to discon-
tinue. If, as not infrequently happens,
the publisher ignores this notice, the
postmaster is authorized. thirty days
after date of notice, to throw the periodi-
cal into the junk-heap. and dispose of it
for old paper.

Scotch Irish.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
have seen the announcement that DIR.
Hoge is to deliver a lecture before the
Society for the Preservation Of Virginia
Antiquities on the Scotch-Irish settlers
Of this country. VIII you be so kind as
to inform your readers what is the exact
significance Of the phrase Scotch-Irish?
We never say Scotch-Englsh or French
Italians. Why, then, are the names Of
two peoples as different as the Scotch and
the Irish linked together as if they were
of the same race? T.
Richmond, Va.
In the early part of the seventeenth
century a plantation" of Scotch was
made in the North of Ireland. This inn
migration from Scotland increased until
that section Of the island became almost
entirely Scotch in its population, and IL
has continued to be such unto the present
day. These people are nearly all Presby-
terians, and are thrifty and wealthy Be
cause they are Of pure Scotch blood, but
live in ireland, they are called scotch
Irish" In the early days of America
thousands of these Scotch-Irish came 70
America, settling principally in Pennsyl-
vania, Virginia, Tennessee, and North
Carolina. and they have proved them
selves TO be noble race. The population
Of the Valley OF Virginia is largely
scotch-Irish. Many of the foremost men
of the American republic, who have been
leaders in Church and State came Of this
sturdy stock.
