ROOSEVELT WITH LOUD.
Is in Sympathy With Movement to
Regulate Second Class Mail Privi-

iSS0Ss
Washington, Jan. 1.-Publishers who
are making war on Mr.. Madden, third
assistant postmaster general, III ac-
count of his activity in enforcing the
regulations concerning second-class
mail privileges. will not secure relief,
whether Mr.. Madden remains in the de-
partment or not. President Roosevelt
announced his approval of the reform In
this direction, that has been pushed by
the p~ostoffice department, and declared
his Intention of continuing the policy,
.regardless of who occupies official posi-
lions in the p~ostoffice department.
{ This announcement of the president
was made to Chairman Loud. of the
house committe on postoffices and post
roads, who called upon the president to
urge the retention of Mr.. Madden In his
official position. The president gave
close attention to Mr.. LIQUIDS showing
that benefits had been derived by the
prosecution of the second-class mail re-
form, and also to his explanation of the
character Of the attacks that are being
made upon Mr.. Madden and the post
master general by the publishers who
have suffered by the adoption of the
regulations. AT the conclusion of the
conference, the president stated that he
unQualifiedly approved of the regulation
adopted by the department. He desired
that the regulation be continued in force
during his administration. no matter
WHO was in charge of the %postoffice de-
partment.
The question OF restricting the Sec
ond-class mail privileges has been be-
fore congress and the postoffice depart
ment for ears. It has been presented
in bills. which always failed OF passage,
ana nothing was accomplished until Mr..
Smith, the postmaster geperalt}decided
that the matter. could be controlled by a
department regulation. Mr.. Madden
has been active In Its enforcement. The
regulation was adopted after Attorney
General Knox had investigated the le-
gal phases. and decided that the matter
could be covered by a department regu-
lation, making the passage of a congress
sional act unnecessary. Publishing con-
Germs ruled out Of the second-class
mails have sought the aid of counsel to
restrain the postmaster general, but the
attorney generals construction of the
law remains unchallenged in the courts.

IsHHME ~
Washington, Dec. 81. - Assistant
sued q notice to the postmasters thru
out the country which will be Of inter-
est to all publishers. The order is
based on Misrepresentation, according
to this order, of a certain publishers
bureau In Chicago to the effect that
the postofice officials at Washington,
d. G, have just ruled that a subscrip-
ton to any publication entered as Sec
tond-class matter must be discontinued
when the time for which It Is paid In
advance has expired.
This Is such a radical ruling and d.
rectly opposite to all law and previous
rulings that 1t means a complete change
and revolution in the publishing bust
ness. This ruling viii greatly reduce
the circulation of nearly all papers and

ments until a lower rate Is put into
effect. This vitality affects you. for IT
prohibits extending credit to your sub
scribers and reduces your circulation
and value to advertisers. Any yiola-
ton of this will deprive the publisher
OF his pound rate"
Mr.. Madden's order is as follows:
"Postmasters will Immediately notify
all publishers in their respective cities
that he statements made in the above
quotation are untrue and misrepresent
the attitude and purpose of the depart-.
ment, and that there has been no such
change in the rules or practice with re-
gard to subscriptions to legitimate Sec
~ond-class publications as it represented.
THE report grows out Of a ruling In
an individual case of q New York publ
cation which was carrying an enormous
list of expired subscriptions which were
largely first induced by premiums and
where due notice had been given to the
subscriber who had failed to renew or
to order continuance with a promise to
pay, expressed or implied.
When general rulings are made they
are published in this bulletin for the in
formation OF the public and all postmas-
tiers.
"a ruling such as IS represented to
have been made would be unwarranted
under the law. Postmasters will take
immediate action under these instruc-
tions.n

WANT TREATY REsUsMlrTED.
Cherokee indians Anxious to Have ri
vision of Their Lands.

vision of Their Lands.
Washington, Jan. 1.-The officials OF
the Cherokee nation have at last real
ICED the advantages which would ac-
crue to the Cherokee people by the rat
ification of an agreement with the fede
eral government for the division of their
land and the extinguishment OF their
tribal form of government. According
ly. they have petitioned the department.
thru the Cherokee council, to have the
treaty negotiated with the tribe by the
Dawes commission more than a year
ago resubmitted to congress and to the
Cherokee people for ratification. They
are willing now to accept the agree
ment In it's entirety, but have suggested
the advisability Of adopting two minor
amendments relating to the allotment
of lands to the Delaware Indians.
The obstinacy on the part of h
Cherokee people, and particularly their
officials, during the past four years. an
opposing all treaties made with the ma
ton, has aroused the Ire OF the officials
OF thedepartment, who are not now dis
posed to extend to them any undue
amount of courtesy. For four years the
officials Of the department and the de-
partmental agents endeavored to In
duce the Cherokee representatives to
enter into some agreement whereby the
affairs OF the tribe might be satisfac-
torily administered. and the lands and
moneys equitably distributed among
the members of the nation. Three treat
les We're negotiated, but each. one failed
of ratification. As q result the officials
of the department became Disguised
and issued instructions to the depart
mental representatives to vigorously
enforce all Of the provisions OF the Cur
tbs act within the limits Of h Chero-
kee nation. The decision to enforce
this law evidently had a salutary eff
feet, as the members OF the nation are
now appealing to the department to
give them another opportunity to ac-
than six months ago
No decision has been reached by the
department upon the petition of the
Cherokee nation The action OF the
secretary is problematical. There are
good reasons why 1t Would be wise to
allow the Cherokee nation to accept the
farmer treaty. The enforcement OF the
Curtis act Will, undoubtedly, lead to
much litigation which nay prevent q
final settlement of the affairs of the
tribe for a number of years TO come.
These legal difficulties might be obvi-
ated by the adoption Of the treaty, tho
even this Is doubtful, as the Cherokee
people have shown q disposition to Hti-
gate all questions thru all OF the courts.
IL a guarantee can be secured which is
genuine that X the former treaty is re-
submitted ard adopted and ratified,
that the Cherokee people will accept all
OF its provisions without question. and
without attempting to embarrass the
departments by suits in court, they may
be given another. opportunity to ratify
and CONFIRM the treaty.

Stencil work In Decorations.

Some OF the best decorative effects to
be found in the handsomest Of modern
houses are obtained by stenciling. This
is used for all purposes-for ~hangings. for
wall coverings and ceilings and for the
furniture itself. The work is done under
the direction Of artists. the designs are
prepared by artists and the work is done
by expert workmen who understand ex-
actly the putting in Of the colors, which
is all lone carefully by hand. The work
Is naturally expensive, but the results
justify the expenditure.

Knox College Short Of Funds.

Galesburg. Ill, lam. 1 According to
the statement made by President
Thomas McClelland, Treasurer A. B..
Perry and trustees at a banquet to the
resident graduates of Knox College last
tight, the college is in financial straits,
and there Is need of her friends coming
to her assistance. 1t was announced
that the college Is running behind at
the rate of $1,000 to $4,000 a yea and
that a deficit OF $4,000 has accumu-
lated
The opinion was expressed that at
this rate it would not be many years
before the principal was consumed and
the college would be without funds.
Trustee C. NJ. Avery said, that to pre-
vent the scuttling OF the college ship
the trustees had obligated the board to
pay the $780, 900 deficit. Some of these
pledges are On conditions that the 1900
graduates of the college raise an addf-
tional $780, 900 for endowment.
Treasurer Perry explained the failing
off IN the college revenue Is due to the
lowering of the interest rate. The rev.
Citations deeply impressed the 200
graduates present, and q committee
was appointed to organize for raising
the needed funds.
