Marking of Paid Articles.

Speaking particularly of the clause re-
curing the marking of paid-for articles
as advert sing. Chief Justice White said
from the bench that this requirement was
cognate with the policy of the govern
ment. from it's foundation, to make the
expenditure of vast sums to anord low
mail rates to newspapers bring some al
equate returns to the public.
1.-THE reasons which cause us to think
this to be the case are these:
"ia) Because the provision is part OF
a most office appropriation act and nat

ference that it concerns the genera

the fact that the legislation was ex-
clusiyely addressed to the regulation

in contemplation of the long -estabusn :

No Absolute Exclusion.

In the course OF his opinion he said:
WAS the provision intended simply to
supplement the existing legislation rela-
tive to a second-class mai. matter or was
it enacted as an exertion of legislative
power to regulate the press. to curtaii its
freedom. and under the assumpt on that
there was right to compel obedience to
the command of legislat on having that
object in view to deprive one Who re used

solution IS free from difficulty. 8 nee by
its terms the provision only regulates

The court declared further that the
requirement that newspapers should
disclose their true owners was In line
with the great public purpose. which
induced Congress to continue in favor

To emphasize this the court quoted
from the report Of the Senate commit
tee stating that the intent OF the iegis-
lation was TO secure to the pubic in
the dissemination of knowledge or
current events by means of news
papers. the names not only OF the ap-
parent. but of what might prove to be
the real and sub tantial owners OF the
publications. and to enable the public
to know whether matter which was
published was what 1t purported to be
or was in substance a paid advertise

the Bulgarian frontier to take COM

Although 1t was announced that the
Roumanian army would not march
upon Sofia, having entered an agree

reasons.
1t is reported that Roumanian and

conclusion.
A second Roumanian army has

nessee City Coming to See the
Georgia Legislators.

Members Of the Chattanooga Cham
Der of Commerce committee on the
Western and Atlantic Railroad have
signified their intention of coming to
Atlanta within a few days to place
before the Georgia Legislature a
proposition for removing the Western
and Atlantic freight yards from the
heart of Chattanooga.
They are cooperating with the At
lanta Chamber of Commerce and be-
fore presenting their plans to the
Legislature will confer with the To-
cal committee with an idea Of settling
upon a definite plan of action which
may have the support Of both com
merCial organizations.
The proposition, as advanced by
the ChattanOogans, is to induce the
Georgia Legislature to pass a bill
putting the whole matter into the
hands Of a permanent commission
which will have the power to pur-
chase property in the suburbs of
Chattanooga to take the place Of the
W. & A. yards in the heart of the
city.
The commission would also be
given authority to negotiate the rem
tai of the grounds vacated by the
railroad. c. E. Jones, OF Chatta-
nooga, at one time made an offer Of
100000 a year to the State of Geor-
gia for the property occupied by the
tracks. This offer is said to still
stand good It has since been an
nounced that the Chattanooga COM
mttee when it comes to Atlanta will
bring an offer of 100000 a year to
place before the Legislature.

on the claim that the bin provides no

mise bill having been submitted to
