UPHOLDS
NEWSPAPER LAW
AS INTERPRETED
FREEDOM OF The PRESS
Publicity Law as Affecting
$4,000 Papers

Washington, D. c., June 10, - As
interpreted by it the supreme court
today upheld the constitutionality OF
the newspaper publicity law enacted
as a part of the postal appropriation
act of 1912.
The particular section attacked was
to bar very newspaper and periodical
from the mails until the editors Or
owners filed with the postal authori,
ties semi-annual sworn statements
giving the names of the editors, own
ers, stockholders and bond holders and
the average daily circulation and
thereafter Immediately published the
statement 1t also forbade publica-
ton of paid for articles without
marking them advertisement"
The Journal of Commerce and Com
mercial Bulletin of New York sought
to have the United States district
court for Southern New York enjoin
the postmaster general from enforc-
ing the act on the ground that it was
unconstitutional The objection then
raised was the law abridged the free
dom of the press. The government
defended the law as regulation pt
the use of the second class mail priv
ileges
The New York court sustained the
validity of the law in this case, as il
did in that brought by the Lewis Pub
fishing Company of New York It
is said the law affects more than
$4,000 publications in the Unit ID
States.
Chief Justice White interpreted the
regulation objected to as being not
a restriction of the freedom of the
press but merely as affixing addi-
tional conditions for admission OF
newspapers to the mails.

Yesterday was the coolest day in
OF which there is any record here. The
weather records here do not go back
very far, it is true, but yesterdays cold
smashed everything in sight for this
time of the year.
With a variation of only five degrees
throughout the entire day, the mercury
yesterday registered a maximum Of
only 81 degrees while the minimum
was so This in itself an indication
of the unsual weather served up to the
people of Americus yesterday. These
figures were furnished through the

Bryan
When the additional fact is taken
into consideration that during the
very early morning hours and through
out practically all the latter half of
the day cold, drizzly rain, driven by
an east wind, fell almost necessarily,
yesterday comes very nearly taking
the cake as a real bad weather day. So

a number of citizens voted, anyway,

It's raining daffcdils."
But the number of real human pea-
pie who could view the weather yes

and very hard to find, for there was a
much larger number who suffered
from a wet weather crouch and a cold

rather hard to console these individ-
uals, unless they were baseball fans.
The baseball fans refused to be wor-
ried by the weather They merely re-
joiced in the fact that it's games must
be postponed by rains that this un-
pleasant occurrence is happening away

DECLARES HAYS
 VIOLATES LAW CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT IS BEING VIOLATED BY HIS OP- PONENT, CANDIDATE BRUN-
 DIDGE SAYS.

Fort Smith, May 15.-"One of the best acts of the last legislature was the bill known as the corrupt prac- tices act" said Stephen Brundidge, candidate for governor here last night. Enacted with the emergency clause, it has become the law of the state. It provides penalties, including fines up to $1 900 and imprisonment, and yet, the first violation of the act has come from the campaign headquarters of candidate for governor who is a circuit judge, sworn to enforce the laws of the state. If the officers of the law do their duty, some men will find themselves in close place before this campaign for governor of Arkan- sas is over.'
 Mir. Brundidge made this statement in reply to . circular which he told his audience his opponent, Judge George w. Hays of Camden, was sending to the voters of the state. This circular, he said, attacks the standing of MT. Brundidge in his home county. The circulars bear no signature, the speak CT said, and this he charged was vii olaton of the corrupt practices act.
 He did not hesitate to blame the Hays headquarters for the responsi- biity in sending out the literature.
 MT. Brundidge declared that after Judge Hays had declared himself in favor of clean campaign, the Hays headquarters began backing little weekly paper" in White county for the purpose of villifying the Searcy candi- date. A statement recently appearing in the publication that he wanted the governorship as a stepping stone to the Uinted States senate, he said. Mir. Brundidge branded this as libelous.

He did but little better, however. Walton of the "Rif-Rafs" pitched his way into fame by his superb control. He issued but two transporations, a dead-head and a casualty.

DISCOVER CHANGES IN DISTRICT LAWS LAST LEGISLATURE NEW ACT EFFECTS CHANGES IN IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT
 PROCEDURE.

The receipt by the board of comms- sioners of the Street Paving Improve ment District of Conway of certified l copy of an act passed by the last legis- lature relating to improvement dis tricts, has disclosed some radical changes in the procedure and powers of these districts.
 At it's adjourned meeting late yester- day afternoon, R. w. Robin who is serving as attorney for the paving dis trict, called to the attention of the council one of the important changes in the law, which now requires the council to give two weeks notice of the filing of the final petition in the organization of improvement districts. During this time any interested prop erty owner may contest the question of majority in value of the property owners in the district, but after the council finally determines that a ma jority in value has petitioned for the improvement, this fact can no longer l be attacked.
 The notice relative to the street paving district was ordered issued by the council and appears in this issue of the Log Cabin Democrat.
 Another radical change in the inn provement district laws by the new act is the one providing that 20 per cent limitation in the cost of improve ments shall apply only to principal and not to interest payments. The old law on this question was indefinite, lbut had been interpreted by the su- preme court to mean that the total cost of an improvement, including principal and interest on bonds, could not exceed 20 per cent of the assessed valuation of the property within the district. By eliminating the interest item, the new act virtually doubles the bond-issuing of an improvement dis trict, as in most bond issues the inter- est equals or exceeds the principal of the bonds.

D0NACHEY INTERESTED
 IN WHOLESALE FIRM
LARGEST CAPITAL IN STATE IS BACK OF NEW LITTLE
 ROCK FIRM.

An article in this weeks issue of the Western Methodist says:
 Our good friends J. T. Beal J. s. Mcdonnell and ex-Governor Geo. w. Donaghey, together with Dr. James L. Dibrell and eight or ten others who are actively employed in the house or on the road, have organized a mer- cantile establishment with the largest available capital of any in Arkansas, being rated in the mercantile agencies at over million dollars. It is whole sale dry goods house. It is co-part- nership, not corporation. They are opening business at 315-317 Main St., Little Rock, the stand formerly occu- pied by Gus Blass Dry Goods Compa- ny. MT. Beal, MT. Mcdonnell, Mir. Donaghey and Doctor Dibrell have long been prominently connected with our church. We are wishing them every success. The constituency of the Western Methodist is peculiarly fortunate in wholesale dry goods men. We not only have these gentlemen we have just named, but at Oklahoma City we have the Kerfoots and the Maxfelds, all Methodists to the bone, and all worthy of every confidence. We made some mention of the Little Rock organization some weeks ago, but, through one of the strange mis- chances of a printing office, the item seems never to have seen the light.
