per cent sample copy regulation.
II is almost impossible not TO vio-
late this absurd and unjust rule, ar
bitrary pronouncement OF the present
acknowledgement as 1t is. Many
newspapers win circulation by the
distribution of free samples. Let
Hitchcock's examiners rake the rec
ords of any 'sampling" newspaper,
and they are almost certain 10 finti
instances where too many samples
rate.
Hitchcock wants the conviction CT
Gray and Howell, but that Is only in
cidental. But what he wants most Is
a precedent. He wants the federal
Judge in Atlanta to say that viola
ton of one Of Hitchcock's regulations
is a crime against the United States.
Then. backed by that precedent, is
II too much to expect that politician
Hitchcock will send an army of post
office spies up and down the country,
raiding newspapers and gathering
"evidence?" And with the threats
of indictments hanging over their
heads. editors will be told how they
are to stand during the campaign
leading up to the Republican conven-
ton.
The southern newspapers are de-
manding an investigation of the
whole postoffice department, and their
cries are being heard by the Demo
cratic congress In Washington. To
day the postoffice service is priv
ilege, granted or withheld according
to the whim Of the authorities IL
charge The southerners want those
privileges made rights, and they
want a set of written laws to sub
stitute for the regulations.
AS it is now, the postoffice regula-
tions are largely matter OF the
postmaster generals digestion.

MAINE, Is; BOWDOIN, 0.

Maine Wins the Football Championship.
The University of Maine football team de-
eated the Bowdoin team on their home ground
sst Saturday afternoon by the decisive score
t 10 to 0. and Maine now has undisputed title
to the championship. The Portland Sunday
Press says of the game:
puUclassed as were the Bowdoin men, they
never lost heart. With an overwhelming
%oFe staring them in the face, with the
.aadow of their own goal posts always falling
a'foss their black jerseyed backs, they fought
ana fought. The stands yelled for them to
sIand firm and they stood, but the Bowdoin
=am simply could not stop the mighty on
asughts aimed against them. Ever were the
Importers of the white encouraging their men
%hl not until the end did the cheering grow
a7' and hope was lost.
IT was not hard to find reason for the de-
'sat of the Bowdoin forces. The college did
llt have the team. With such a perfectly
i%,ofklng powerful machine as Maine sent to
Hhittler field, there was no team in the State
mat could have beaten them today. In the
tanks of the visiting forces there was no weak
spot; there was never falter and there was
ao giving way. Right from the very start the
victory. seemingly unoI posed.
The Bangor Daily News says:
Maine had good cause to celebrate after the
game was over. 1t was little to be wondered
~ If they broke loose. The very first sign of
Ae celebration was noticed at the railroad
station when a huge white elephant thatiwould
paVe done credit to Connie Mack made its ap-
pearance. Of course it was merely an imita-
tII uon covering, with two Maine lads underneath,
