A WEAK accusation is being made
against the new st. Louis postmaster,
Colin M. Selph, charging that a score
or more of ball tickets enclosed in
letters SEM through the mail to local
addresses have disappeared. The
letters got there all right, it seems,
but the tickets enclosed were non
est. This reminds me of what an old
employe of that Office told some years
ago. "You would be surprised" said
he, sat some of the things we have to
contend with, and the complaints we
are called upon to meet. For instance,
a few days ago IN indignant lady call
ed at the Office and wanted to know
why the invitations to her daughters
wedding had not been delivered to the
parties addressed; that she had sent
invitations to eight or ten friends, and
when they did not appear at the we'd
ding she inquired the cause. 'They
told me they had received no invita-
tion,' she declared, land l know I sent
them. The truth is they we're never
deliveredl' She wouldn't listen to our
solemn assurance to the contrary,
and went away vowing vengeance.
Now, the fact is, those invitations had
been duly delivered to their several
addresses; but an appearance at the
ceremony included the bringing of a
wedding present-a thing not always
desirable or convenient to do. So the
easiest way out of their dilemma was
to declare they had not received the
invitations, and to attest to their as
sertion by 'cussin'' the postoflce.n
So, perhaps, for similar financial rea-
son, some Of the recipients OF the ball
tickets preferred to assert they had
never received them. As stated above.
the accusation against Mr.. Selph is
patiently weak, very weak, but the big
''spread" the Republic gives it is
weaker still.

In his brief for the State in the case
of the State of Missouri VS.. St. Louis,
Iron Mountain G. Southern Railway
Company, the Acknowledgement cites
numerous decisions holding that the
courts may interpret the statute, but
cannot assume the role of legislators;
that if a law be unjust or oppressive,
it is for the legislature to amend it;
that no Judge has the right or power
to change such law. The defendants
in the above suit claimed that the
statute requiring them to establish
and maintain a station and agent at
Pilot Knob was unjust and oppressive
and unreasonable, and on that ground
the Supreme Court should hold it void
and of no effect. In other words,
"the rule of reason" ought to govern,
regardless of the evident intent of the
lawmakers. They have one very not
able decision given by the U. S. Su-
preme Court in their favor. Will the
Missouri Court follow it?

German went down in a heap, allow
