post-office department as an inspector
and | received not cent in pay"
Anthony Comstock t-I the audience,
"but in the latter year salary was
forced upon me by the postmaster
general and | was placed under the
civil service rules This was dire :
result of the att made upon me b
the Art Students league of New Yor.
But | have not spent a penny of that
money. ! have it all laid away that
has been paid me since 1906 and it
will be for my wife and child when
am gone or if some politician waits
my job with tho government for some
henchman | pay every cent Of
it back to the u. s. treasury"
Mr.. Comstock told of his work in
supressing vice and said that since
he began the work thirty-nine years
ago he had made $500 arrests and
had confiscated 140 tons of contra
band matter or fifteen freight cars
full
81 received a few days ago at my
home in Summit package by express
The sender of that package will re-
ceive an invitation from me tomorrow
to pay me visit and if he don't ac-
cept I will make him come" The
speaker told of his bounding by GER
tain people he described as Liberals
long haired men and short haired
women and of the sending of small
pox scabs to his home, an Internal
machine to his office and many civil
suits brought against him.
