The most interesting feature of the order, however, is the state
ment from Washington: "Thc Department has n o authority to ex
clude them from the mails, but can refuse to transmit them to their

If a refusal on the part of the post-ofice to transmit a postal
card to its destination be not an Exclusion from the mails" then the
Department must give to the word mail" a very narrow and depart
mental meaning. 1t would seem to be about time for the Government
to issue a dictionary.
However, the order in itself is good. A private debt is a sacred
secret, not a public financial obligation. No creditor should be per-
mitted to feature it on a postal.
