Newspaper Rulings.
soME INTERESTING DECISIONS AY United
STATES SUPREME U AS TO THE
LIABILITY OF SUBSCRIBERS.

/. IF subscribers order the discon-
tinuancc of their periodicals, the pub
Usher may continue to send same until
all arrcarages are paid.
9. If subscribers refuse to take
their periodicals from the postofice to
which they are addressed, they are re-
sponsible until they have settled their
bills and ordered the paper Tor other
periodically discontinued.
3 If subscribers move to other
PAGES without informing the publisher,
and the papers are sent to the former
address, subscribers are responsible.
4 The Court has decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the
postofice, or removing and having
them uncalled for, is prima faeie evi.
dence Of intentional fraud.
5. If subscribers pay in advance,
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time if they do not wish to
continue the periodical; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to continue
sending it and the subscriber is respon-
sible until an cypress notice, with pay.
ment Of all arrearages, is sent to the
publisher.
G. The latest postal laws arc such
that a newspaper man can arrest any
one for fraud that takes his paper and
refuses to pay for it Under the law,
the man who allows his subscription to
run along .or some time unpaid and
then orders it discontinued, or orders
the postmaster to mark it refused and
has a postal card sent notifying the
publisher of such fact, renders himself
liable to prosecution, arrest and fine,
the same as for theft.

Democratic Truth Terseiy STATED.

"DemoeacY," said MIR. Bryan
in his Berlin interview, ''recog.
nizes competition as. legitimate and
tries to protect the competitive
principles from attack. Social.
Ism sees competition as evil to BE-
eliminated by public ownership
and operation OF all means o.
I PRODUCTION aad distribution" This
is a clear statement OF tundamen.
tai Democratic dictrens and Mr.
Bryan does well to give expires
sion thereto at this time when
indiseriminate public ownership
is so generally exploited by the
Socialistic school as a remedy foi
all existing abuses.
Competition is a natural law
which unimpeded amply protects
the public from extortion. But
it does more than that. 1t slim
ulates enterprise. Invention and
industry and automatically resu
lates and Adjusts the relations
between production and con-
sumption. It works in harmony
with the natural law of supply
aud demand and gives incentive
to all human energy.
Nearly every economic evil OF
which we now complain may be
traced to to the violation of thses
lust principles, which are as old
as Il e hills and applicable to all
ages and conditions of human
progress. IT it be true that the
cost OF living has increased be-
You'd reasonable l>vels, what bet
ter way to revive normal condi-
tons than to re establish compe-
tition? And this ear be done in
multiplied instances by the re
moval of obituary duties. That
the people see this clearly is ey-
ldenced by the demand Tor tariff
revision and reform.
Monopoly, says Mr.. Bryan, in
evitably diminishes the quality
and incre' sos the price. 1t is
Just as natural as water running
down hill. The desire for gain is
a part of human nature. Give a
man the power, or the privilege,
as we call it in economies, and
he will exact the last tarthing
and consider it legitimate to do
So. Give him the monopoly,
and he loses incentive to improve
his product. Thus enterprise
and invention are stiled.
With competition in full play
the producer or the artisan is
forever concerned about develop
ing the highest possible price.
The consumers, therefore, reap
the benefits and the rewards go
to those who deserve them. Col
lateraly, there is a better dis
tribution OF wealth and civiliza
ton marches forward to new
triumphs.-Houston Post.
