The United States Supreme @Court has upheld the much-cridcised action of Postmaster General Burleson in withdrawing the seconi-class privi- leges of tho mails from publications that he deemed seditious or disloyal during the war.
 MT. Burleson has been roundly de- nounced as "tyrant' because he took the ground that the United States was under no obligations to transport and distribute through the mails publica- tions whose avowed object was the overthrow of the Government
 The case decided was that of Victar Berger's socialist paper, published in Milwaukee, but rule is laid down which will govern many similar cases. A New York socialist daily had joined with the Milwaukee paper in carrying the case to the supreme court.
 The court calls the Milwaukee papers case futile Litigation under taken upon the theory that & Govern ment competent to wage war against its foreign enemies was powerless against it's insidious foessat' home."
 Mir. Justice Clarke, who read the de- cision, called attention to some of the seditious articles in ,Berger's paper. Without going much into detail, he said, It was declared in the quoted ar ticles that the war was unjusti6a ble and dishonorable on our part. ''capi- talistic" war which had been ''forced upon the people by class to serve it's own ends"
 The two justices from Massachusetts, Holmes and Arandeis. dissented from the decision of the majority.

there will not be any incoming interest. AS the boy said when asked for the core of his apple, "There ain't goln to be no core.''
 When the Liberty Loans were being raised we were told that thls incoming interest would help pay the outgoing interest. That seems to be forgotten now.
 Of course it does not really make any difference whether we pay bonus-or any other great expeuse-out of incom- ing interest or raise the money by taxa tion. If we spend the interest money we merely have to raise that much more to pay our own Liberty and Vic- tcry bond interest
 But the existence of any sort of spe- cial fund that is either iu the treasury or expected to come in, is always a temptation 10 extravaganza. ,Politi- clans who want the spending of it elo- quently convince half the people that to spend that particular moneyuwill not really cost anythng.-Ex.

MCGRATH, ALASKA, MAY 4, 1921

Whats the use of a law against protiteering if it has no penalties?
 This question is brought up by the decision of the U. s. Supreme Court on the Lever Act. The court holds that the sections of that act which purport to furnish punishments for profteering can not be enforced. They do not with sufficient clearness specify the nature of the offense.
 The law says: "It is hereby made unlawful for any person wilfully to make any unjust or unreasonable rate or charge in handling or dealing in or with any necessaries." The court says this is not enough to set up an "ascer- tainable standard of guilt.'' It does not sufficiently inform persons accused ''of the nature and cause of the accusa- tion against them" And the section ''forbids no specific or definite act.''
 Chief Justice White read the opin- ion. He made comments, in which he called the law vague and indefinite :"
 In consequence of the decision the Governments prosecutions of profteer- ing will have to cease.

Italian newspapers are clamoring to have the United States cancel Italy's debt to this country. Similar sugges- tions come from other debtor nations.

One of the last acts of the Wilson ad- ministration was to inform the Chinese Government that the United States does not concede the British claim to 8 monopoly of "wireless' rights in parts of that country. China was given to understand that Americans will build. regardless of objections. high-power wireless plant at Shanghai. Permis sion to puild it had already been ob- tained. This is regarded as 6 test case, and important, because it twill deter mine whether Great Britain oean en- force similar claims elsewhere.
