Recently the Kansas City court Of
Aupeals handed down a decision
which is important to publishers Of
newspapers and especially to that
class of people who subscribe tor
papers and after reading themTefuse
to paw for them The case in ques-
ton comes from Butler, Mo-. where
o. d. Austin, publisher, sent his
paper to Chas. Burge. The latter
paid for it twice and then after tax
ing it for over a year longer refused
to pay again. He said he had order
ed it stopped. But the Court Of Ap-
peals holds that mere acceptance Of
the paper created liability. The
Court said;
The preparation Of newspaper
involves much mental and physical
labor, as well as an outlay OF
money. One who accepts the paper
by continuously taking il from the
post Office receives benefit and
pleasure arising from such labor and
expenditure as fully as if he had APP
propriated any other product OF
another's labor. and by such act he
must be held liable for the subscrip-
ton price. Hale Hustler-Leader.

AS Congress has power to "estab-
lish" post roads, and as the extern
sion of rural free delivery is con-
verting many country highways into
such roads, it is easy to perceive the
argument by which Senator Swanson
Of Virginia defends his bill appropri-
ating twenty million dollars a year
for five years to improve the roads
of the country.
