FRANKING PRIVILEGE
POSTMASTER GENERAL. HAS
POWER TO REMEDY ITS ABUSE.

Attorney General Moody has notified the
National German-American 4 alliance that
he has forwarded 10 the Post Office Depart
ment the complaint of that organization
that Rev. Wilbur f. Crafts of this city is
Illegally using the frank of Senator Gal
iinger to propa gate an attack on 1Bser- and
to advertise the prohibition bureau over
which he presides. The Attorney General
informs the officials of the organiza ton, the
most powerful German political body in this
country, that it is the duty of the Post
Office Department to pass upon questions as
to abuse of the franking privilege and to
remedy it if the abuse is discovered If that
department should decide that the Crafts
bureau is abusing the franking privilege it
could issue an order prohibiting the use of
the mails for the particular matter COM
planned against. Whether it could institute
criminal proceedings is not known.
Crafts Not Afraid.
Mr.. Crafts does not seem TO have feared
the attack made upon his concern, as the
day of its publication in the Washington
papers some one mailed to all Washington
correspondents and newspaper men, under
the frank of Senator Gallinger, the iden-
teal document complained of.
The GermaA-Amerlcan Alliance has called
the attention OF the government to the mat
ter it is stated, not because it is trying to
defend the brewing industry, but because 1t
believes that if this sort of thing is permit
ted any organization may be permitted to
attack any industry without cost through
the mails. The alliance considers that the
taxpayers of the country are defrauded of
revenue by free of the mails under
these circumstances. 1t is further stated
that the national officers going to pur-
sue the matter and writing to the local
lodges of the country directing them to
take the matter up for continued agitation.
What Member Says.
A member of the organization, who was a
delegate to it's last bi-annual convention,
said today: I'VE are not doing this in the
interest of the brewers, as some may think,
but aside from the fact that it is depriving
the government of its just dues we. as Ger
mans. whose national drink beer has been
for centuries, feel offended by the attack
upon it. We consider beer healthful bev-
erage, promoting sociability and preventing
the use of stronger drinks. Surely German
culture has not suffered by its use.
"Dr. Wiley and other chemists assert that
beer is the purest drink made.
Postmaster General Cortelyou has the
matter under consideration. He recently
excluded from the mails somewhat sim
liar document along other lines, and the
National German-American Alliance be-
lieves he will repeat his orders in this case
