Personal Journalism.

In q a>certain community of Lou
isiana there was personal journal
ism much the same as there is in
many towns and cities of this
country. A few days ago the
editors who were making this
journalism personal, met and one
shot the other, killing him. To-
day a widow and orphans mourn
the loss of a husband and father.
Personal journalism did it.
The majority of editors Of to-
day have departed from the de-
plorable practice of fifty years
ago, the practice of maligning a
rival. They have adopted the
more Cody motto of olive and
let live" As a result business is
better, prices are better and liy-
ing is exceedingly more pleasant.
There is no more reason for two
editors eternally having each
other by the throat than for two
merchants to be thus engaged.

Statements on Postals.

One frequently hears it said
that statements cannot be mailed
on postal cards. This never was
prohibited by the postcffice de.
partment and the following ex.
tract from the postal laws shows
the latest ruling on the subject:
"a postal card with statement
of account written thereon may
be transmitted through the mail
when it does not contain anything
rejecting injuriously upon the
conduct or character Of another,
or threat Of any klndor any other
matter forbidden by law. The
department does not hold the
usual legal notices sent out by tax
collectors that tax is due, or about
to be due, witten OF printed upon
postal cards to be unmailable. An
example of the use Of this privi-
lege is found in the thousands of
postal cards sent out every day
