Second Class Matter.

---N--'
GSITHE original purpose of the postal law was to
i encourage the spread Of public information
through very low rate of postage on newspapers
and other publications. There has grown up with
these publications very great business in adverts
ing and this part of the publication, which It is
claimed is commercial and not educational ought to
pay higher rate than that educational matter.
This question was agtated for a considerable num-
Der Of years until 1917 when a law was passed the
effect of which to gradually increase the rates
of postage the advertising portion of magazines
and newspapers to very considerable extent, as
we'll as to increase the rate the reading portion
from I to ~ cents per pound. The country has
been divided into and postage is charged for
the advertising portion according to the the distance
cared-the reading portion goes at fat rate. Ad-
vocates of the present law maintain that certain pub
fishers had virtually received subsidy in the past
on advertising matter and should be made to pay
adequately for the service rendered The opponents
of the present law maintain that advertising stimu-

laes business and results in increasing the postal
revenues other ways and that the increased rates
in effect make it necessary for the publications
charge the public higher subscription prices. The
smaller newspapers whose subscribers confined
limited area, naturally in favor Of the larger
papers paying the increased postage because they
feel that ii will work to their benefit in keeping up
the larger papers. Thus we have great many diff
ferent opinions and ideas as to the merits Of this
law and it must be thoroughly investigated and ali
sides heard in order to decide what is the most
equitable thing to do in the matter.
"The air mail service has been in operation
since May, 1918. and has very notable record
of achievements in carrying the mail and dem
onstrating the commercial utility of the airplane
as well training civilian air force The training
of corps of civilian iers is of value to the
country and this is perhaps of the greatest
for continuing the air mail service. There
will be greater cooperation between the air serv-
ice Of other government departments and the Post
office Department in this connection and joint
endeavor to advance aerial navigation.

is known as the space basis system. The depart
ment now pays only for the space it uses in postal
cars. AS to whether this change in method Of pay
ment has been equitable to all concerned must be
considered by the new postal administration 1t is
claimed by that il has contributed to the delay
in Transporting the mail because the bulk OF the mail
is distributed by the clerks in transit, but is
carried in storage to what known terminal
stations at railway centers the route where the
mail is distributed in quarters which be rented

system maintain that a certain amount Of mail can
be handled and routed at these terminals between
train connections, leaving only mail matter winch

The whole system of distributing mail route must
be thoroughly investigated because the growth of
the parce post has created conditions to be met
Pneumatic Tubes.
((THE use OF pneumatic tubes in Of the
i large cities was discontinued few years
ago after having been utilized for twenty years.
The commission of postal experts who investigated
these tubes reported them being obsolete. The
tubes could handle only first class mail and counting
the time taken to fill and unload the tube cylinders

which already utilized to carry the more bulky
class of mail the points reached by the tubes

AT that time the parcel post in its infancy
and street congestion in cities was not a serious
problem. Conditions have changed since then The
parcel post has grown enormously and traffic con-
gestion has become in larger cities Mail trucks
cannot rapidly and it is question to be
settled whether the tubes are not now facility of

Some underground method must be used. Possibly
it may have to be facility that will carry all classes

"The collection and delivery of mail in cities
and the transfer of mail between postoffices,
branches and railroad stations, up to within few
years ago was almost entirely by contract. In
cent years the Postoffce Department has been oper-
ating these services with its equipment and
ployes. 1t owns and operates over 5000 motor
trucks in the larger cities in the delivery, collection
and transfer of mail The need for these trucks has
become urgent that many of them are used from

Hlytheyille Riled Up

The Blythevllle courier III us
played front page write up calls
upon the citizens of that town TO
call mass meeting and take steps
toward suppressing crime. 1t says:
"Mississippi county and Blythevllle
are running riot in every avenue OF
crime, murder, bootlegging. whiskey
making and open houses OF i'll fame.
.sCriminals are given the minimum
sentence, if any sentence at all, and
mayhap before they get the stripes
on they are paroled and back doing
the same things they were sentenced
for. AS long as juries with no
spinal column sign vcrdicts which
lcgalize crime, so long will murder
run riot and criminals feel they
have perfect right to commit
crime.
1T is time Blytheville and Missis-
ippi county wake up to their sowing
OF the wind, because we are reap
ing the whirlwind. The way to
stop whiskey selling is to send the
men guilty of making it and selling
it. to the penitentiary and leave
them there. A fine is cheap IL
cense. The way to stop murder is
to give murderers the maximum
penalty with no chance for pardon
by ii governor who listens to the
pleading of $25 lawyers.
"The better element of Blythe
vile should call mass meeting OF
the liberty loving people Of our city
and ask the officers who permit
the wholesale violation of law tC
resign and set about to take matters
into their own hands. Lawlessness
can be suppressed in Blytheville if
the people of Blytheville will get
together and assert their rights
Lewd women walk the streets night
and day and every officer knows
it, Whiskey is being sold in scores
of places and on the public streets
and every officer is fully advised OF
the fact Whiskey is being made
il not within the corporate limits
certainly not far away, and the Of
ficcrs must know that SO long as
things are allowed to run riot as
they are so long may we expect
what is happening, and things arc
getting worse from day to day with
apparently nothing being done tC
suppress it.
"Blytheville cannot afford to have
her good name besmirched and hol
citizens Inundated, if not actually
murdered. because her officers arc
either lax in their duty or actually
in sympathy with lawlessness.'

Arbuckle sat in the same position
all during the afternoon. save for
the five.miuute recess that came
toward the close of the hearing
looking interestedly at the man in
the witness chair. The witness
however, avoided returning Ar
buckles gaze. He kept his eyes on
Golden, on Dominique, on Brady
or on the judge.
Arbuckle showed no emotion what
ever His face remained blank
from the moment he took his seat
until the djourument--only now
and then one might notice the
spasmodic movements of his fingers
nervous unconscious flexing OF
the right forefinger, a soundless
drum beat with the other fingers.
Golden put the witness through
rigorous ordeal, questioning him
again and again about various things
trying to trap him. trying to make
him refresh his memory, trying to
bring out evidence that the man
seemed to have forgotten
Semnacher forgot many things,
He forgot some of his testimony at
the coroner's inquest. He forgot
whether he had said the party was
drinking. He forgot some of his
own statements few minutes after
he had made them.
The room full of women, who
had come 10 be thrilled, went home
rather disappointed, They had ex-
pected something from Semnacher
He had told SO little.
