pole variety; however, the difference

NEWSPAPERS MUST GIVE
OWNERS NAME.

Postmaster General Hitchcock has
issued instructions for carrying into
effect the new newspaper and periodi-
cal law, first returns under which had
to lie made October l.
The law requires publishers to file
on April and October l of each year
with the postmaster general and with
the local postmaster, under penalty OF
denial of the use of the mails, a sworn
statement of the names and addresses
OF the owner, publisher, editor, man
aging editor, and business manager OF
their newspapers and periodicals. Re-
lgious, fraternal, temperance and
scientific publications are excepted.
For a corporation the names OF the
holders of more than one per cent OF
the stocks, bonds, or other securities
must be given, and, in the case of daily
newspapers, statement of the average
paid circulation for the preceding six
months isrequired.
All editorial or other reading mat
ter appearing in newspaper or mag
azine for the publication of which pay
is accepted or promised must be mark
ed Advertisement" under penalty of
fine of not less than $50 or more than
$500.
A copy of such sworn statement
shall be published in the second issue
of such newspaper, or other puhlica-
tion printed after the filing of such
statement Any such publication shall
be denied the privileges of the mail if
it shall fail to comply with the law
within ten days after notice of such
failure.
Directors of the American Newspa-
per Publishers association adopted at
meeting in New York City the other
day resolution providing for an APP
peal to the United States Courts TO
test the consttutionality of the law
which virtually puts newspapers and
other periodical publications under
governmental regulation. Notices
were sent to the members Of the assoc
iation warning them that the new law
took effect October and suggesting
injunction proceedings against its en-
forcement.
Accompanying the notices was le-
gal opinion by the counsel of the as
sociation declaring the new law uncon-
stitutional.
1t is pointed out by experts who have
examined the new law closely that if
held constitutional it will be far more
dangerous to the private interests of
the public generally than to some of
the newspapers, for the reason that If
the government has power to regulate
the business affairs of the newspapers
of the country the federal authorities,
with no better pretense of legality,
could also invade the private affairs of
the individual or corporation-and the
rights of property and liberty guaran-
teed under the Constitution would be
DESTROYED.

THE TENDENCY IN AMERICA

We are all familiar with the fact
that as the nation grows older the
people seem in some way TO become
less homogeneous. The neighborhood
fellowship which seems to prevail in
European neighborhoods is the out
growth of the ages. The country COM
munity which Hardy limns in his
WesseX parishes, or which Blackmore
describes to us on Exmoor, or Scott in
the lands north of the Tweed, seems
to possess neighborhood solidarity
altogether lacking in most American
communities. We have thought that
this neighborship, needing centuries
for its growth, might be expected in
| America as a flower which time will
cause to bloom.
But American life seems to tend
otherwise. In New England. where
the historic perspective is longest,
neighborship seems to be weakening
as the years pass. The social re-
lations in rural communities in most
parts of the Middle West are not as
close as in the pioneer times when any
one was aueighbor who lived within
ten miles, and the necessity of each
leaning on the other in the struggle
with nature pressed upon everyone,
and there was felt need for the max
ing of new friends in the new environ
ment. The telephone may bring
people closer together, but the trolley,
the motor car, the daily mall and the
increasing number of friends which
the average farm family has in town,
all, with many other factors, take the
place of neighborship and tend to COM
munity individualsm rather than
neighborhood collectivism.
Thus we are forced to the conclusion
that as yet none of the influences which
have built up neighborhood groups In
| older nations are at work here. We
are justified in believing that, inasmuch
as American life is growing up with
no feudal and medieval background
such influences will never come into
existence. And a close study OF Eur
opean rural life leads to the conclusion
that the older rural groups are not of
the sort which we should desire II we
could have them, picturesque as they
are in literature; and that the super
| iority which the European farmer ex-
hibts as compared with the American
farmer in the matter of rural organic
alton is owing. not to historic factors,
but to developments which have
sprung from conditions OF the last de-
cades of the nineteenth century, and
| from the early years OF the twentieth
The Danish peasant is doing better
than the American farmer in this re.
spect, not because he is old fashioned,
but because ne Is up-to-date. The
splendid achievements OF the Irish
farmers in cooperation, and the enor-
nous successes OF the peasants OF Italy,
Germany ard France in cooperative
banking come from the new life and
not from the old.
Everywhere the new wine Is being
poured into new bottles, instead OF the
ancient vessels. The new movements
in rural life spell democracy, not
privilege.
