NEWSPAPERS AND PosT0FFICEs

While the one boast of the post
Office department is that they are
making money off the public there
remains the fact that the service
for newspapers is the poorest ex-
cuse that the United States can
offer. Newspapers receive the
least consideration of any class of
mail, and their privileges are cur
tailed to the least common denom-
nation. The Sun would have
many more subscribers if the
paper could be delivered to the
subscriber, but under existing
conditions in many postoffices (not
locally), but in smaller offices in
the country they are either thrown
in the waste basket or returned
because the patron of that Office
does not come in regularly for mis-
mail. In recent ruling papers
are returned with a one cent stamp
due on them. There is probably
trouble on both sides in sending
out papers where addresses are
wrong, but under present condi-
tons the average country newspa-
per must stand the blunt of the
rulings.
The small ,postohices as rule
never send out notice of a remo-
val and tine paper may be delivered
year or thrown away before it is
discovered the subscriber is gone
to parts unknown. In the larger
offices the pre-emptory card may
be sent out and before it reaches
the publisher, back comes the
next paper sent with a postage due
stamp on it.
"A sample copy OF a paper sent
out other than the day of publica-
ton necessitates one cent stamp.
Is it wonder that the postoffice
department is making money off
the public under such circum-
stances?
With big appropriation, home
made rules changed at will it is no
wonder they can make money,
especially as they as they are not
required to give service, except as
they make their own rules for Civ
ing it.

AN APPEAL TO HONESTY

If our present system OF initia-
tive, referendum and recall is ever
carried out successfully it will be
necessary for the general public to
THINK MORE, READ MORE
and KNOW MORE about what
they are voting on. Also they
will have to KNOW instead OF
taking the word of every irrespon-
sible person who has special AK
to grind.
People generally want to do the
RIGHT THING, but are led
away with the thoughtless, reck-
less, class that will make any old
statement to gain their ends and
then they regret it. The hardest
thing on earth is to convince the
average public of the real truth;
the honest way of doing things in
the REAL interest OF the general
public.
Some find out after they have
done the damage and regret 1t;
others get few dollars out OF i,
in cash and find later they have
sold their birth right for mess oil
pottage: others promptly forget
sacrifices made, while others seem
to think all will come out right in
the end even if they were misled
and promptly vote the same old
way at the next election.
If FACTS were FACTS and
FACTS were KNOWN and it did
not take the truth so long to catch
up with the average person, our
present system might work out,
but as an American citizen is an
American citizen and knows wha,
he thinks he knows and cites Bill
Jones as absolute authority, what
is the use of actual facts? If the
average citizen would accept a
famous lawyers theory OF denying
everything and demanding proof,
we would be better off. Our laws
should not be made by hear say
evidence, our laws should not be
made because OF strenuous falsi-
tying campaign.
Even with our present system
monied interest have more influ.
ence, more power and more means
of securing what they desire than
ever before, because when they
secure the vote Of the people by
nefarious methods of buying UP
the leaders of little flocks, they
can stand back in holy horror and
exclaim: The people did it, we
are not to blame. The people
who did it are not responsible
they got theirs" and havn't any
thing to say. No one is respon
sible-the people did it."
This is free lecture on ou
present system, not for spite, no
gain, but fair and honest pres
entation of what all of US indis
criminately are up against-peopl'
politicians and hnancers, and on
only hope is that the people will
realize the actual conditions the
are up against and endeavor t
KNOW what they are voting TO
and WHY. A constant state Q
upheaval is not good for any com
munity or set of men, so why nc
get back to a system where law
law, men are men and a full belle
that there is a God in Heaven?

by reason OF inability to care for them
selves and not because Of their imme-
date misconduct. In the other four
nominally part Of the house supposed
to be used as a house Of correction, as
a matter Of actual practice there is
little If any distinction made between
the offender against the law and the
person who is compelled by reason Of
his infirmities to become a public
charge and an inmate Of a public char.
table institution.
At its June meeting the Board Of
Charities and Corrections adopted the
foregoing resolutions without a dis
senting vote, and there is no doubt but
that the position taken by the board.
based as it is upon actual observation
of conditions, confirms the views al
ready held by a very considerable ma
jority Of the people Of the State.
Furthermore, in its annual report to
the 18th Legislature, the board, having
reference to the general correctional
system OF the State, recommended that
the State should plan eventually to
take over from the counties the custo-
dy Of all convicted prisoners, INSIDE
meanants as we'll as felons; that the
State and not the county is the prop
er custodian Of all persons convicted Of
violating State laws, and that county
jails should be used only as places Of
detention pending trial That this prin-
ciple Is the correct one has been dem.
onstrated by the experience of other
counties, and also by those states Of
the United States which have adopted
it, Its adoption is now being urged in
other states where a careful study Of
the question has been made. And since
this principle is sound when applied
to few scattering municipalities, SO
that while the resolution of the board
condemns the use Of the almshouse as
house of correction. there is really no
reason why any city or town should
maintain even a separate house Of cor
rections. Under our present law the
county is the smallest political unit ac-
tually required to bear such an expense.
and ultimately no doubt it will be the
State: with resultant better and more
scientific treatment and care OF the
convicted criminal and less cost to the
community as whole.
