MY attention has been called to H.R.
65O8, and more particularly to Section 3
which was introduced in that B!ll Just
as it was passing the House. This bill is
primarily intended to prevent the trans
portation of lottery and cheating deV ces
through the mails. Such provisions are
desirable.
This particular Section 5 makes it an
offense for newspapers to publish racing
news. | favor the bill but am opposed
to this Section s.. was not consulted
about it and l hope this sect m will not
pass. The whole bill had better be de-
feated, in my opinion, than to add this
additional curtailment of the freedom Of
the press. There has been a very strong
tendency of late in that direction and
am sure it is essential that such tendency
be checked. l am reminded of Voltsire's
statement: 1 wholly disapprove what
you say and | will defend with my life
your right to say H.
i trust that Section 5 will be stricken
from the bill.

WILL THE POSTAL SERVICE LOSE
Mr.. HAYS?

For some time rumOrs and press re-
ports indicate that Mr., Hays may resign
the office as Postmaster General to accept
an offer from the motion picture industry,
A fabulous salary, with a three year con-
tract, is mentioned and nobody has yeF
intimated that his ability is not commen
surate with the salary offered.
But The feeling among the 320,OOO
postal workers is one OF CONSERVATION.
II took them a little time to realize what a
wonderful vista was disclosed b. the door
heretofore closed and bolted-of intel
ligent and active cooperation on the part
of the postmasters and employees. Now
that hope is becoming reality and words
are being translated into deeds OF accom-
plishment, the resignation Of Mr., Hays
would spread gloom among the entire
personnel Of the postal service.
His brief period Of service has been
a record of splendid achievement in the
direction of more efficient postal service
to the public and of consideration for the
welfare and encouragement of those who
do the actual post Office work. Natural
anxiety is felt on all sides as to whether
the policies adopted by him would be
carried out by his successor. While
every one who has the good of the ser
vice at1heart would sincerely regret
losing him, if he should decide to accept
this offer he will carry with him the
sincere appreciation Of the public and
the gratitude and affection Of his part
ners'' in the postofice business

$40 BILL MED TO TAG HAS SAFE
TRIP Who says Uncle Sans mails are
not safe? A crisp $40 bill. tied to an
ordinary tag, was delivered to a north
west address recently b. the Washington
city post office, the bill being evidently
as fresh as when mailed in Srartanburg,
S. c., the day before.
The tag, which bore a 2-cent stamp,
and the name and address, but no return
address. was tied to the bill with a
string, which made the bill stand out in
much the same fashion as the hair rib
bon on a little girls head.

 Urges Kindness To Dumb Animals

Pittsburgh, March 25-"Ten Com mandments of Kindness to regulate conduct toward animals have just been issued by the -Departm en$ ct Humane Education, Presbyterian Church of the United States. The Commandment point out mans dufy to animals and are published with a view toward minimizing useless cru city and killing.
 The Commandments are: Thou shalt not deal cruelty with the creatures of Gods creation, placed under thy dominion, but in thou administer thy guardianship over beast, bird and cattle seeking to the spirit of thy Creator.
 2-Thou shalt not deligth thySedG der rnercies to those who depend upon thy guardianship. Thou shalt not Jay blame or punishment unwarranted and who have no means of asserting them the adjudicator of righteuos- ness dn their midst; for the Lord thy God is a jealous God, remembering thy unfaithfu1ness and thy cIuelties to all His creatures and visiting the errors of thy way upon thy children down through the generations, in that thou has set a bad Example unto them and hast by word and deed led them to disrespect justice and mercy in dealing with defenseless creatures.
 31Thou shalt not curse thine cat tie nor inf1ict vengeance upon any of Gods creatures for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who disregards his creation.
 4-Reme1nber the sabbatica1 rights of Gods creatures and practice then, sacredly. Every beast of burden and every animal in thy service shall have it's days and fitting seasons of rest whereby the drudge of toi1 in thy ser vice may be comfortably mingled with the joy of living. With reosan and con sideration thou shall assign their tasks and with equal care thou shalt pro vide food, rest, succor, mercy and these things which make for the nat ural joy of living.
 5-Honor and respect thy guard iamsh1p over the animals which have been thy faithful servants and desert them not in an evil day; for by do ing thou nayest prolong thy days and increasejthy joys in the land which the Lord thy God givetfh thee.
 6-Thou shall not kill, for the joy of killing; for the sport of killing; for contest in skill; or for selfish gain For the righteous man regarding life of his beast
 Thou shalt not commit myself to the lusts of bloody contests nor seek to look upon the cock-fight, the live pigeon shoot, the bull-fight and all such atrocious acts.
 S-Thou salt not steal, destroy, nor take unto thyself selfishly or wanton- 1y that which belongs to the comfort and needs of thy animals
 9-Thou shalt not bear false wit ness for paltry gain to tlnyself where by Gods creatures suffer hunger, an gutSh or torture. Let the testimony of thy guardianship be above thy lust for gain.
 10-Thou shalt not covet the birds plumage. nor the animals fur; thou shalt not covet the robins nest nor her young by her side, nor the pigeon the freedom of the air, nor the deer the joy of the lair.
