It la difficult to Imagine outaldc of Rusaia, such n bill aa that propoard to be -Introduced by the poatal com mission for the government regula tion of newapapera. If the poatal commission had been made up of retired railroad prealdenta or of cspltallata etlll serving ho rail road directors—ell of them anxious for revenge upon the free, bold press that brought about the rato bill, the leclalntlon proposed could not have been more drastic nnd revolutionary. Just consider the terms proposed: The bill provides that the newapa per title end date must appear upon every page of every pert, section or supplement of the paper. No newapaper or part or section of n newapaiier or other periodical must consist wholly or substantially of fic tion. No newapaper or part or section of a newapaper must have advertising to a greater extent than f<0 per cent of lla superficial area. Knob part nr section of a newspaper must be nf the aame site, form and weight of paper. Supplements moat lie of the same form as the main body of the publi cation. save In the ease of maps and plans illustrative of the text, must contain no advertisements and must he supplied only to complete matter left Incomplete in the malu body of tha publication. Tin' number of sample copies ate thorliod must not exceed 10 |»>v cent of the paid Issue of the paper With each Issue of his publication the publisher must make, under oath, a statement showing the munltcr of copies mailed to subscribers of dif ferent classes, the number in bulk, tin- weight thereof and the average weight of a single copy. The publisher Is alto required to furnish, under oath, "such other Infor mation with respect to the publication as the postmaster general may by reg ulation prescribe." Newspapers must be folded as the postmaster general may prescribe. Tin- present rate of 1 cent a pound Is alsilished save for packagea weigh ing not less than ten pounds. For other copies the proposed rate Is Is one-eighth of a rent for two ounces or leas, one-quarter of a cent for four ounces or less und one-half a cent for four outtcea or lesa and one half a rent for aaeh additional tout ounces or fraction thereof, thus pen- aiding the larger papera. I'ndellvered papera are pensllxed by a Charge of doublo the third-class rale Erie coping are forbidden save to exchanges, to advertisers as samples and to ugenta or aollrltors. The full printed aubacription rates t sat, to agents commissions) must be charged in all caaes without reduction by rebate, premium, gift or otherwise, this applying to all subscriptions, w hether by mall or otherwise. There It not a fair minded citizen In the-republic who will not condemn }e menace which theah provisions contain to the liberty and prosperity of the press. ff It la a movement to curtail the power and Influence of the American newapaper. and to remora the re straining Influence of fearless public! ty .from the aggression of power or of wealth, then the people ara likely to be beard from. With all Its faults, the American newapaper Is the beat safeguard of American liberty. The common peo ple havs no champion ao constant, no source of protection so ready. The laws of libel and other laws wWh govern and restrain the press I capital wbleb wll! realise this fact and learn (hat the pgople can belter have been ample to protect the people I. lm led than driven, and that the conflict between capital and the people from any arbitrary or unworthy use I will be obliterated when capital reallsss not on(y the beauty bat tha ulU- of Its power. But If this postal commission should work Its will, then under Its new atatutea the Republican parly when In power could reatraln the Demo- cratlc papers and on the rare occa sions when the Democrats get In. they could restrict the utterances of the Republican organa. And the press would be no long er the champion of liberty hut the mere puppet of political parties, THE CONSTITUTION AND THE CHILD. Toward the close of Senator'Beveridge's speech on a national law for the portectlon of the children he said, after citing numerous Instances In which the Interstate oommerce clause of the constitution had been Invoked: "It Is a curious thing to ma that In not one of tbeee Instunces was the constitutionality of any statute raised where no business Interests were affected by It." It was a significant observation. It may lw added that where yie selfish Interests of the iwople have demanded effective legislation congress baa always found a way to carry out their wishes. Take the meat Inspection bill, for Inatance. The meat packing In dustry, centered In Chicago, was under tha Jurisdiction of the Mate of Illinois and regulated by the police power both of the state and the mu nicipality. A young novelist. I'pton Sinclair, wrote a book describing the conditions In Packlngtown. That alarmed and arouaed the country. It was seen- that Illinois was not effectively coping with the problem. It Was seen that under the commerce clause of the constitution the states could hot protect themselves against the tale within their—borders of Packlngtown products. Therefor* congress passed a' meat Inapectlon bill by which, In Secrotary Wilson's sententious phrase, entile are In spected "from the hoof to the can." The constitutional Issue was not raised when the people of the country had spoken their mlntl on the . abuses of the meal packing business. Chairman Wadsworth, of the com mittee on sgricultyre In the bouse, loaned to the side of the meat pack ers and the people of hla district In New York saw to It that Mr. Wads- ~worth should remain at-home hereafter. Now contrast the speed with which the popular will was enacted Into law In this matter with the long delays In connection with a humane law like the requirement thnt the railroad should uae automatic car cou plers. Here only n limited number of people were Interested, the poor train hands whose lives were dally ancrlflced In the coupling of the cars. And yet finally that reform haa been brought about though It would seem to have been a glaring case of federal Interference. It took money to equip the roads with the automatic car couplers and human life la cheap when It la put In the ocalc with tbc dividend* of'the great corporations. There has been un extraordinary htlerapMn mngreaxTo pronounce(he varloua child labor lillta unconstitutional before thoae bills could bo brought to a vote. Pour such bills have been introduced In this con gress. The Beveridge bill already noted In this paper; the Blmmons bill. Introduced by Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, which provide* that the federal government shall not transport the products of mine or factory where children are employed In violation of state child labor laws; Sen ator Lodge's bill, which Is rather drastic In making the advanced child labor law of Masachusetts a standard for tho whole country, and n bill Introduced In the houae under the taxing power of congroas, making an ad valorem tax which would be practically prohibitive on the products of mine or factory, entering Into Interstate commerce, where the labor of children Is employed. We do not blame the honorable members of con gress from endeavoring to escape a vote on these measures by declaring them unconstitutional In advance, and, as we said, the efforts to do so have been extraordinary. In Senator Beveridge's absenco Senator Spooner, of the senate ju diciary commitoc, moved that the Beveridge bill be referred to the sen- ate judiciary committee. Tho senate judiciary committee referred It to a special committee of which Senator Spooner was chairman, thus erect ing. M senator norsrtdge put tt, a "junior supreme court within tho Uni ted States senate," of which we aupposo Senator Spooner might bo called the chief justice. The same expedient has bean adopted In the house. A bill which passed both houses on Its merits, ordered an Investigation with a special appropriation, of tho labor of womeen and children In the United States. When It came to granting the appropriation the matter was refererd to the Judiciary committee of the house, and while reporting that the Inves tigation was clearly within the right* of congress, tt went out of Its way to report that the national government had nothing to do with the regu lation of the labor of children through the Interstate commerce provis ion. There Is no doubt a deeper reason for tills extraordinary solicitude for the the constitution than the mere opposition to a child labor hill. The Manufacturers' Association as a body Is not opposed to the regulation of child labor, as many of the great Industrie* are not affected by the system. But tho oppressive cnrimratlons, during this strenuous admin istration. have begun to fesr the federal power *1 a protector of the rights of the states which these corporations have ao mercilessly overridden. Mr. Bryan has pointed out the Issue with his uaual clear Insight. Ha says that this Intarstatc commarc* clausa of the constitution which Ic In voked In behalf of tho children can at readily be Invoked to prohibit tho traneportatlon of truet-mede good* as of ehlld-modt good*. Hanct thtao tsar*. Not until the state authority and state legislation takes on the shape and vigor of real itateemaushlp can wo afford to discredit the strong hand of national legislation. But tho friends of the children need not fear the dual Issue of the contention. Tha child will win. The problem of saving nur cltltenshlp from the degeneracy which attend! child labor Is a vital problem. The Improvement of our cltltenshlp, tlielr education In Democracy, llee at the hails of all other Improvement. The discussion that has now become na tion wide will go on, and the revelations of tho abuse of childhood will shock the conscience ot the nation until that conscience compels an ad equate solution of tho problem. The very atara In their courses are fighting for the welfare of the child, and the will of the people will Anally be translated Into law that this curse may be removed from the land ot the free, that wo may again "present a serene front to civilisation." WE COMMEND THE STREET RAILWAY COMPANY. The Georgian makes haste to "take pleasure In commending" the Geor gia Railway and Klectrlc Company for the published announcement of Its Improved schedules. Having been first nt the appeal ami last at the reminder of the neces sity for this Improvement, wc cannot afford to be laggard In an expres sion ot appreciation u hen a demand 1s granted und an Improvement Is brought to |uiss. Whatever the motives or whatever the pressure which has Induced the company to make these Improvements, they are welcome and they commend the corporation to the good will of tho |ieople whose conven ience Is subserved. The Georgian plants Itself u|<on the proposition that always nnd everywhere power can commend Itself to dependence by kindness and con sideration. Great corporation* that hold In their hands tho convenience, the comfort, the health and the safety of the common people, can find a thousand ways to olillgw aud please the people wtthout necessarily losing the profits toward which they atrlve. And we are quite sure that ao fxv from curtailing these dividends, that the present line ot Improvements, and others that may Ih- subsequently added, will tend In every way to matsnlfy the revenues which eomo to tho Georgia Railway and Klectrlc Company. There Is no conflict between corporations ami the people when corpor ations arc mindful of the people s rights and the people's Interests. Once more we assert that the wise corporation Is that which wins tho public to Its support by kindness rather than that corporation which drives the public to a reluctant surrender to conditions, which every citi zen resolves In his heart sooner or laler to resent, and to Improve by all the mcAUi which ,aw mud government {Hit into bis power. mate wisdom of kindness and considerstloa. THE CONSTITUTION'S REPENTANCE Perhaps it Is Just aa well that The Constitution should lead In the way of repentance. The Constitution having sinned most la publishing Ute details of the Thaw trial, has greater need of repentance. Our contemporary published In Its lean* of Friday morning detalla of Evelyn Thaw's testimony which were carefully cat from the telegraphic report and carefully omitted by The OaqrRian, and we think by The jour nal on Thursday afternoon. Besides it Is rather late for repentance. There la not much now to suppress when the worst baa all been told. With Evelyn Thaw's testimony practically concluded as It la. the pnfaent and sensational la about at an end. In the nine columns which The Con stitution published on Sunday (the day of Its repentance) nnd In the two columns on Monday (the day after). Including the picture of Mlsa Edna Goodrich, there la barely the suggestion of the things that ought not to bo read. - We are sorry that The Constitution's change of heart did not come about on last Friday, but we are glad that It has come anyway. To be consistent now the woes of Evelyn mast melt altogether from Tho Con stitution's columns. And the whisky nd should run away. The "thaw" Is late but welcome. And we do not need to promise our readers that no prurient details ot this sensational trial will be prlntad In Tho Georgian to the future, as they have been carefully omitted In the past STREET OAR SIDES AND NEWSPAPER COLUMNS. It Is food* for Innocent mirth to note the solemn paragraphs of Im plied and partially expressed approval with which the esteemed Journal and the equally esteemed Constitution record the reqneet of tha elty council that liquor advertisements should be removed from the street cars, and the announcement of the car officials that they fully Intend to. do away with the offenaljA signs. This Is charming , v By alt means remove the liquor sign* from the street car*, lest the Innocent eye of youth should be caught and enticed thereby. But meanwhile keep your ejre on the grand old beacons which gleam morning and evening In the columns of The Journal and The Con stitution, pointing tho footstep* ot youth to the red llghta of lTqubf: To clean up the advertlalng spaces of the street ear, may probably enlarge the demand for space In the columns of the great and good news papers which stand for reform. The situation Is passing from the humorous Into the grotesque. CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER O Gossips About People and Other Things w By CHOU.V KXICKBBXK-ltKh. ANSWERING A LOCAL TUBERCULAR APPREHENSION. Several citizens of Atlanta are making protest through these col umns, today against the enlargement of the consumptive ward of the Home for Incurables, on the ground of Its near proxlmllytd“apubTIc school, and In an expression of the apprehension of property owners lest the germs and bacilli of consumption should be disseminated to the detriment of those iieople who live so nearly adjacent to this Institution. To these contributors The Georgian desires to say that' the larger movement which we have In view and which we have advocated from the first end far beyond any local application, 1* for the creation of a public sentiment which will produce legislation, state and local, to protect those near to cases of tuberculosis from the Infection of the atmosphere. One of the thing* which we hope to acoompllsh Is a rigid registra tion of consumption and a rigid sanitary law which will require that the Rputum of consumptives shall be deposited In vessels and consumed by such chemicals as may be there to destroy the germs. we urge upon all those people who naturally feel apprehensive along these lines to Join with Tho Georgian In this larger movement tn whose behalf a meeting la soon to bo held which will eitabllab that rigid san itation which will make consumption leu dangerous to people who are forced to live with It, and to people who are forced to live near It.
