Improving the Postal Service

Speaking for the Postmaster General
as well as for myself, 4 may say that
legitimate publishers have nothing TO
fear from the present administration OF
mate publishers, / mean that class OF
publishers who conduct a clean business
in a clean way. and do not attempt, by
Questionable practices. unlawful subter-
fuges, and covert methods, to evade a
reasonable construction Of the law eX-
Guiding from the pOund-rate publca-
tons designed primarily for advertising
purposes, for free circulation, or for cir
culaton at nominal rates.
This is the rather obvious decla-
ration of Third Assistant Postmas-
ter General Lawshe. 1t ought TO
have been unnecessary. Save for
certain unfOunded prosecutions of
the past five years it would probably
need not have been made. But in
the light of the present administra-
ton of the Postoffce Department
it is well within the truth to say that
legitimate publishers have nothing
to fear as TO the continuation Of
their right to mail their publica-
tions of the aecond-class rate of
one cent a pound.
But neither the postal law nor
the administration of 1t are in so
pleasing a light in certain other re-
spects. Thus, the power of the de-
partment TO issue fraud orders
against citizens who are there
after denied any form Of review in
the courts is a responsibility so
heavy that every Postmaster Gen
eral for years has assumed it un-
willingly. Again, the ordering OF
publications from the mails on the
! ground that certain advertisements
were subject to objection (as that
they violated the lottery law, for
/ example) when other magazines
containing the same advertisements
have been allowed to circulate IN.

JUST LIKE A MAN.

The late Mrs. Clara Dewey How OF
Philadelphia, whose philanthropic
work among immigrants made her
well known had a trenchant wit, and
one afternoon in Philadelphia, discuss
ing the woman suffrage movement with
a clergyman, she said:
You men are all alike. You all re-
semble the orphan that Mrs. Stanton
and her friends brought up. Mrs.
Stanton and body of ladies from her
church, all interested in woman suf-
frage, once took little newsboy from
the gutter and educated him superbly.
They sent him through school and col
lege and finally made a minister OF
him.
This young minister, the work OF
in their church. That was a proud
Sunday morning for the good ladies'.
They thought they had at last firmly
planted among the male sex a strong
and splendid supporter So, in their
best bOnnets, they filled the church
that Sunday morning They were on
tiptoe with expectation. Who could
tell but that their young charge
might preach in their honor a woman
suffrage sermon?
Imagine their emotions when the
youth arose in the pulpit, looked calm
ly and even sternly over the congre-
cation and and announced that his
text would be from ST. Paul
Let the women keep silence in
the church."
