NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS
The Post.0fflCe Department Rules That
Subscribers must Pay For PAPERS.

Under q new ruling of the post Office
department at Washington no Week
ly paper can be sent to subscriber
who owes for more than year without
paying postage. This ruling
took effect January /, 1898 but has
been modified so as not to be enforced
strictly until April /, 1908 thereby Civ
ing the publishers and subscribers a
reasonable time to adjust matters to
comply with the new ruling. What we
may think of 1t does not matter. The
onlylthing we can do is to make an
effort to comply as promptly as may
be until such time as the ruling NAV
be changed.
The object of the department is to
cut off lot of papers that are forced
upon the people or to compel the pub
fishers to pay postage. Except in a
few cases, there is no good reason
why every subscriber to The Repub-
lican should not pay for the paper
once a year or as many prefer to do
pay for last year and next year at the
same time. We trust all our subscri-
bers who are owing for a year or
more will be ready to pay what is nec-
essary when statement is received.
If anyone should happen to find it
difficult to pay, note can be given,
which will satisfy the demands of the
government. When we all get used
to paying the printer once year we
are confident that we'll all be better
pleased than with the methods of con,
tinued credit in the past.
