RALLYING ROUND THE BLADE.

The popularity of the Blade is well attested by the
receipt of a large number of letters from its sub
scribers and friends pedging themselves to stand by
the paper until the finish in case effort is made
to exclude it from the mails.
Although but two short weeks have elapsed since the
first announcement of threatened attack upon
gious liberty, large number have written and
various of money have been pledged in the event
of it being necessary to make call upon them in
order to wage upon those who would dare
attempt it's suppression. To these many friends the
Blade expresses its most heartfelt appreciation but
we also trust that the matter will go further than
it's present stage.
No further action has yet been taken. 1t may come
at any moment, however. Since previous article
on this subject have not been called upon to make
offer any defense, or to give any explanation in
any way concerning the articles published by the
Blade or as it's policies. Under the circumstances
the case stands statu quo and is just where it
when our previous article on this subject went to
press.
Owing to the prompt action taken by number Of
friends in writing the Blade and making pledges of
financial assistance we feel that especial mention
should be made concerning them The first letter of
this character to reach our office was from
j. p. Wilson, of Hamilton, Ohio
who pledged himself for $40 towards fighting fund

is accounted for probably by the fact that they reside
near Kentucky and were eager to get in upon the
ground floor should fight have to be made.
To these and many other friends, the Blade
feels free to state that upon legal advices rendered
and purchased the inference is suggested that owing
to the lapse of time since the complaints were first
made and received in Kentucky without action
thereon and the further fact that the complaints are
from Canadian sources and did not originate with the
postal authorities of the United States no further
action is likely to be taken than the presentation of
perfmctory report and allow the matter to
quietly end with that
Of course, the Blade is simply in receptive atti-
tude 1t does not court contest but it will not shrink
if the contest is forced upon u.s. Litigation is nvari
ably expensive and it is for this alone that
express the hope that the matter will not reach the
judicial tribunals of the federal government. The
Blade would naturally be at disadvantage, but the
best that be done will be done if the issues
