OFFICIAL TAMPERERS
WITH THE MAILS
WORK OF EUROPE'S BLACK
CABTNETS.
Methods By Which Governments Are
Kept Informed of Plots or
Projected S5CindIeS.

tcopyrfghc. 1909. by the Brentwood Company.I
Much discussion has been taking place during
the last few weeks the subject of the In
volatility OF letters intrusted to the mails. The
law declares that the mails shall not be used
or rather abused, for purposes of fraud ana
crime. To prevent this, the Postoffice employs
g corps of highly trained and extensively ex-
perieneed inspectors. who constitute what is
probably the most efficient branch of the United
States Secret Service. Thanks TO them many
dastardly outrages and untold thousands Of
cruel swindIes have been thwarted and felonies
detected and punished But it is ridiculous TO
imagine that their work, which is OF such IN
estimable advantage to the public, can be per-
formed without examining the contents Of sus-
picious letters, and thus violating the secrecy
O. the mails.
Americans who have been raising their voices
the last few weeks in protest against the open
ing of any letter confded to the post, even by
the United States inspectors. should remember
all that thexe useful officials have accomplished
fn the way Of the detection and the bringing to
justice Of wronsdoers and in the prevention OF
crime. They should also bear in mind that there
IS no government in the world, civilized or uil-
civilized. which does not exercise an analogous
supervision over the mails intrusted TO II Tor
conveyance. Theoretically all the powers FORM
ing part Of the International Postal Union are
committed to the doctrine of inviolaoillty OF
the mails. But not one OF them adheres TO IL
in practice. 1t goes without saying that the
state cannot consent TO promote the designs or
rnaIefactors by carrying their messages back
and forth ana by acting as a means of COM
munication between them. That is why the
postal department OF every country is equipped
with bureau which is popularity known by the
name of the Black Cabinet. Many statesmen
have scoffed at the notion and denounced it as
q myth But others equally reliable have ad-
mitted its existence, their admissions usually
reluctant, receiving plenty Of confirmation by
hard. incontrovertible facts.
