Declared to be the first official inter-
pretation of the Post Office Department
ruling with regard to the trading-with-
the-enemy and espionage acts. the ar
ticle tends to show the reasons which
led Postmaster General Burleson to put
the ban on certain New York publica-
tions recently.
Propaganda to Discredit War.
convincing nature received by the Post
Office Department since the declaration
of war shows that there exists an or
ganized propaganda to discredit and
obstruct in every way the prosecution
Of the war declares Solicitor Lamar.
This propaganda is no natural product
of war conditions, but the fruition of
seed carefully sown by Germany long
before even 1914. Neither is it peculiar
to America nor of conception here. II
was planned originally in Berlin. and
comprised the world for its field"
The article continues:
Certain rulings of the department
in the administration of the espionage
act have been enormously termed sup
preston of a publication There is no
such thing as the suppression of a pub
lication. as such, under our system.
Individual issues of papers may be pro-
hibited from the mails. but, in addition
to this, what is called the Second-claSs
mailing privilege-that is, fthe priv
ilege Of newspapers and other periodi-
cal publications to be carried at the
one cent per pound rate of postage
may be withdrawn for the reason that
the publication systematically pub
not be permitted under the terms of
the law to have the second-class mail

carried at any rate of postage other
than sthe second class, and if nom
mailable are excluded entirely.
When Second Glass Permit Is Issued.
''The second-class permit, in the first
instance. is issued upon a showing
made by the publication of the char
acter of the matter it has carried in a
series of issues preceding the date OF
the publication. The permit must be
cancelled, if Cancelled at all, on the
same kind of showing as to the past.
NO rights of free speech or liberty
of the press are involved in the issue
or revocation of these permits. They
cover merely a business arrangement
by which a special privilege is granted
upon compliance with conditions i'm
posed by certain laws, and is retained
only by continued compliance with
those or subsequent laws enacted by
Congress bearing upon that privilege.

AZ the Davis Theatre Tonight Cur
 tain at 7.45 D. m. Prompt.

Not since the days of 'FYodora" has there been a light musical entertain ment that has caught the public fam cy as fnstantaneousiy and as secure ly cs "Oh, Boyi" which comes to the Davis theatre tonight
 This fact is emphasized by the rec ords established in other cities. "Oh, Bcy." is now playing it's second sea- son in New York and is in it's sixth month of popularity in Chicago.
 The company which will present This Comstock-E Elliott production here eomes direct from five months in Bos- lon and is the same big cast and pro- luction. Jerome Kern's fascinating music and a book of genuine comedy by Guy Bolton and P. G. Wodehouse have put "Oh, Boyi" in a position that would be difficult to equal. The pro- anction of the piece is picturesque and in excellent taste and the entire performance is made up of a spirit of youth and enthusiasm that is decided ly refreshing.
 The curtain win rise at 7.45 D. m. prompt and everyone is requested to be seated by that time. Phone orders must be called for by 730 otherwise Jeats will not be guaranteed.

The peoples voice is. Gods. Wherefore an end Shall surely come to class and privilege.
 Hear how the Voice from East to West fs raise Like human thunder! See how millions watch The leaders in this fight for human kind! Bide we awhile and we shall surely see
 The lightning strike, and all the air is cleared. The peoples voice is Gods. The while We hold The love and fear of Him within hearts,
 And keep His great commandments, we shall be His humble mouthpiece; but if once we break The Law, we shall be worthless; even worse Than those who sing in purple. For the law Is naught to them-to us, it is eur need. ] .fFth The peoples voice is Gods. Be patient, then
 My brothers who must labor. Lo, the light
 Shall strike the humblest dwelling place anon; And we shall see the children, ruddy checked, Around our knees the while We tell the tale
 Of how men oppressed us, and we bore
 Our burdens in all meekness, as did Christ. u

Real settings and background are provided for Harold Lockwood in his newest starring vehicle, "The Aveng Ing Trail" the photoplay version of Henry Ovens novel of the lumber country in the North, "Gaston Olaf" which is the feature at the Breed theatre today and Saturday. The out door scenes were played with the ground covered with snow and were obtained in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The process of numbering from the cutting of the timber until the time it is loaded on hat cars and transported to the mar ket Is shown in the picture and pro- vides an interesting sidelight to the dramatic action of the story, which, in itself, is considered one of the most powerful ever offered by MT. Lock wood during his starring career.
 Other pictures on the bill include the Hearst-Pathe news and Christie comedy.
