The Reader Who Won't Pay,

y regular reader wrote the fol-

mOnd papers recently, and we
print the newspaper mans answer:
Can a person be compelled by
law TO pay for a newspaper after
his time has expired, provided he
continues to take it out of the
poStOfice.
No. But an honest man will
not take paper out of the post
Office and read it unless he has
paid for it, or intends to pay for it.
The Postoffice Department pro-
vides rule for honest men. If
YOU don't want a paper that con-
tinues to come to Your address
after the term for which YOU sub
scribed has expired, simply refuse
to take 1t out of the postoffice. and
the postmaster will do the rest.
But if man continues to receive a
paper, and continues to read it.
common decency and common
honesty would suggest that he pay
for 1t. although the law will not
force him to do so.
