Danger in the Postomce Bill.

A section OF the pending DoStoffice appro-
Prlatlon bill confers upon the Postmaster General
authority to deny mail trans portation to any
newspaper, magazine other periodical and
require it to be shipped as freight By this sec
tlon he is given unlimited discretionary power
and may select at will any publication to be
made the victim of a ruinous mandate The
giving Of such power OF discrimination to anv
single executive official is wrong on the face
of it. If a necessary desirable object is to
be accomplished it should be done in a common
sense way and not in a haphazard, makeshift
way, or in easy and dangerous way. 1t is
mo argument to say that it is inconceivabIe that
any Cabinet official would ever use such au-
thority unfairly Improperly or with Interior
motives No knows what some future Post
master General might do under circumstances
not now foreseen; and, besides, there is not the
least necessity for putting such risk into law
One circumstance alone should forbid the
party in power to enact the section in its present
form. 1t is asserted that the very object of the
provision is to place a serious obstacle in the
way of the circulation of periodicals inimical to
the prospects of the administration in the ap-
proaching campaign. If the charge is untrue
as 1t probably is, it may be dsDroved by emi-
mating or altering the section; but if the Demo
Gratis insist on its retention in its present form
their course may we'll be accepted as convincing
proof that it was inserted for the very purpose
alleged.
If a change is desired for purely economical
reasons it may easily be provided for by
method free of suspicion. The section as it now
stands is not only crude and unbusinesslike on
its face, but dangerous rs we'll. 1t should be
changed stricken out

selves of the cash of the foolish and the gullibe?
The business of obtaining money by means OF
palmistry is based very largely false pre-
tense, yet any walking into the District
Building in the enlightened Capital Of the United
States, and plankng down the necessary fee,
may obtain license to practice it, And then
comes the added absurdity of the police depart
ment undertaking to determine what is good,
honest palmistry at moderate prices and what
is reprehensibe and toe expensive. Why not
license the hand-books and regulate the odds?
