protection through the historically
discredited devices OF bureaucratic
governments.
Either these publications should be
entirely suppressed and their publish
ers prosecuted or they should be given
equal mailing rights in common with
the other periodicals OF the country.
The mail exclusion statutes will be
vigorously enforced by the Postoiiice
Department, but In 10 doing we Will
carry out the purpose OF such non
AVAILABILITY law. This purpose Ia TO
bar the prohibited matter entirely
from the mails and not simply exclude
II from the particular class OF mail
which carries a lower rate OF postage
and then admit to that class which re-
quires higher rate, for the same laws
govern the AVAILABILITY OF mater In
each case. There shall be no hesitan-
cy in suppressing any publications
that fall within the prohibitions OF
the public law, but there are also laws
in this country safeguarding the In
tegrity OF the freedom Of the press,
and these laws must and shall be also
scrupulously observed.

THE FREEDOM
OF THE PRESS
Statement Of Postmaster General VIII
II. Hays, In Connection With Grant
Ing Applications For Second
Class Rates.

Washington, ID. &, The applca-
ton OF The Liberator for admission to
the second-class mails has been grant
ed. This application was filed on Feb
ruary II, 1918, at the time the maya
zine was established, and has since
been pending with no action taken by
: the former administration. The re-
cords OF the Department show, how
ever, that every issue since its found
ing, as offered monthly for mailing,
has been accepted at the third-class
rate Of postage, pending action on the
application for second-class entry.
Inasmuch AS the application shows
compliance with the other statutory
requirements, the only question to be
decided is whether The Liberator is
publishing maiable matter. II is is
then the publication is entitled under
the law to entry to the second-class
mails and 1t is mandatory upon the
Postmaster General to issue a permit.
The question Of the AVAILABILITY of
the publication has been considered by
the Post Office Department monthly
for the past three years and in each
instance each issue has been treated
as mailabl and the application for sec
ond-class entry has not been denied.
To deny it at this time would have the
effect Of declaring non-mailable when
there is now less reason for doing so
than formerly, the very issues which
were accepted as mailable during the
war period when there were in force
not only the present permanent laws
but also the temporary war provisions,
which have since been repealed
The fourth requirement of Section
IA of the Classification Act is that to
entitle matter to the second-class
mailing privilege 1T must be orig
mated and published for the dissem-
ination of information Of public
character, or devoted to literature, the
sciences, arts or some special indus
try" 1t has been suggested that it
was the intent Of Congress in the pass
age of this provision that the privilege
of second-class rate should only go to
publications disseminating informa-
ton of public benefit. If thi sis true.
then the responsibility is lodged some
where to determine what is and what
is not information of public benefit.
There is a vast difference between
what is Information of public char
acter" and what is information of pub
lie benefit Much of the news in the
daily might be barred if public benefit
were essential. 1t is easy to decide
The public ledger. [volume] (Maysville, Ky.) 1913-1968, 1921-06-07

what is and what is not information
of public character" The arbitrary
power to decide what is and what Is
not public benefit was never intend
ed to be lodged in the Postmaster Cen
eral. 1t shall not be assumed
The Postoffice Department holds no
brief for The Liberator or any other
publication. If there is on foot con-
spiracy to destroy our established
form of Government by force and vio-
lence, claimed by the Department
heretofore as reason for not grant
ing this permit, and if this publication
is involved in it, then the Department
of Justice will deal promptly and eff
fectively with the conspirators in the
manner prescribed by law. The De-
partment of Justice as now organized
canbe depended upOn absolutely to do
that.
The war is over. We must return to
the ordered freedom. Our method Of
safeguarding the public welfare, while
at the same time maintaining freedom
Of the press, has been found through a
long period of stable civil liberty bet
ter for the public welfare and personal
security of citizens than to establish
bureaucratic censorship which in its
nature becomes a matter of individual
opinion, prejudice or caprice There
is a certain cost in free institutions
in which the institution of freedom of
the press shares, but we in this coun-
try have preferred to pay such costs
