"No Pay, No Paper
In substance that is what Uncle Sans
postal regulations say. In other words,
a publisher is only permitted to use the
mails to forward his paper, or other
publication, to bona fde subscribers.
In the event the regulation is violated
the post Office authorities bar the pub
Usher from circulating his publication
at newspaper rates. That would just
about take his living away from him,
wouldn't it?
nsg@ The Government holds that the
subscriber of weekly newspaper who
is twelve months in arrears is not bona
fde subscriber. Then it must be very
clear to all that we cannot grant credit
on subscription for a term in excess Of
twelve months. This much we are will
ling to do for any reputable citizen who
is a resident of Bossier or any of it,
adjoining parishes.

Albany, N. Y. Sept .2O.-The phys
zeal conuition of William Sulzer, I'M
peached governor Of the State, Is
causing worry today. He is probably
nearer complete breakdown than
ever before in his long political ca
reer. Despite the reassuring decta-
rations Of those closest to him, ana
the indignant statements OF ms
intimates that he never was in as
good health, it developed today that
he is really far from well man. he
is not under the care of physician,
but has been persuaded to remain
quietly at the peoples house" un-
der the watchfnl eye of Mrs. Sulzer.
When his attorneys have exhausted
all of his technicalties through which
they have hope of crushing the case
against him, Sulzer may come to the
impeachment court in person. and
dramatically become the chief figure
of his own trial. But if he should
2 do this it will be against the earnest
protests of his chief counsel.
The Sulzer attorneys were in close
consultation here today while most OF
the prosecutors had gone back home.

1T is admitted, however, that they
have little hope that they can gain

this way. They would accept fav-
