Many Requests for Help.

iiding soul in the country district. far re-
moved from newspapers and enlightening
Information. who has heard from some
source that the government will help
good citizens in distress. especially If they
belong TO the right political party"
This homely belief has resulted in bring
ing to the Postmaster General many
touches for a small loan TO repair the

Ito lift i mortgage from the home and
the letters asking this aid always con-
tain q hard-luck story.
Amusing letters sometimes come from
fourth-class postmasters, themselves. One
received not long since told of a big
storm that washed the post office away
and left the drawer containing the key
to the mail bag high and dry in an ap-
pie tree, where II wasn't so easy to use
the key in opening the mail bag"
And so they run upon one subject or
another, all in the belief or the writer's
that the Postmaster General is specially
gifted with "A rrescience above ordinary
humanity, or facilities for doing things
that are denied TO every one else. In the
minds OF some he can place his hand
upon lost person, discover an unknown
address, or hand over A little loan with

moral or financial sensibilities. He is the
one person on earth who can tell what is
Soing to happen ahead OF time, avert
calamity or revolutionize accepted theo-

with the present administration, probably
not without reason, he lis looked upon as

from certain citizens who want the Post
master General to bar the Bible froin the

that certain firm of publishers was
lettering on the brink of ruin when it
obtained the tights to publish and sell
copy of a noted French art study I'm
mediately it began to have the picture
talked about.
If an overcareful postmaster did not re-
fuse to accept it for transmission in the
mails, to be later turned down. the press
agents of the publishers would write
stories that it "a work of splendid art. a
chef d'oeuvre of the Paris salon. prize
winner had been excluded from the
mails by ignorant or undetermined Off
Gals, who could not tell a work of art
from a poster bill. IT is said the amount
OF free advertising secured by the firm

ment rulings and counter rulings, all of
them generally reported in the public
press, actually made q fortune for the
promoters. In a recent official story
given out by the department the state
ment is frankly made: The circulation

clude alleged objectionable books. pic

ally results in lot OF free advertising
and q consequent increase in the sale of

that perhaps the effort to exclude the
