TIC DESPOTISM,
to say, Th© World has no
ay whatever with the editorial
e toward the war and the Gov
it of the various Socialist,
iSt and pro-German periodicals
have been excluded from the
j for their semi-seditious utter
fl. Yet we can think of no more
Jcious method of dealing with
i offenses than to leave the
xshment to the judgment of the
eaucrats in the Post Office Depart
at.
Either the writers and publishers
these articles are guilty of a spe-
Lic offense under the law or they are
jfc. If they are guilty, there are
juries and district attorneys
u.nd courts and juries to deal with
them. If they are not guilty, it is an
offense against free institutions to
deny them the use of the mails.
What could be more ridiculous or
inadequate than to permit a so-called
seditious periodical to have unlimited
circulation through the news agents
in a great*, city like New York and
then arbitrarily cut off a few hundred
copies that may be circulated through
the mails byway of making the
punishment fit the crime? But wholly
aside from any question of pains and
penalties imposed upon a section of
the press that is published for the
crackbrains of the country is the in
creasing use of the Post Office Depart
ment as a means of regulating the
nabits, morals and political opinions
of the American people.
The practice began with the lottery
legislation and has been extended by
leaps and bounds. The Post Office
Department today is the most Irrc-

THE JEFFERSONIAN
sponsible despotism known to free
government. There is not a citizen
of the United States, there is not a
business or industry in the country,
that cannot be deprived of the use of
the mails on the ipse dixit of a dene
volent bureaucrat of the post office.
No legal evidence is necessary. No
court proceeding is'required. A writ
ten order duly signed and counter
signed, and the thing is done.
The original function of the post
office was to collect, transport and
deliver th© mails. That function has
almost been forgotten. The mails are
becoming merely a by-product of a
nationwide system of regulating
everything from political opinions to
the sale of patent corkscrews in pro
hibition territory. Nothing human
is too great or too small to escape the
scrutiny of this bureaucracy.
The principle under which the So
cialist and pacifist periodicals are
excluded from the mails can be ex
tended to every publication whose
opinions are objectionable to the
mandarins of the postal service.
Either this is a government by law
or it is not A and if it is to be a gov
ernment of law the Post Office can
not remain much longer an irrespon
sible prosecuting attorney, judge and
jury cdt&Ssned. —New York World.

FROM AN OHIO PREACHER.
Deer Bro. Watson: I have just
completed a list of 14 names to be
placed on the mailing list for the
Jeff for one year. Please note the
P, S. at the bottom of the list. This
makes.S9 yearly subs, in the last
few weeks. To Dr. Higgins belongs
r ar I .credit.
Tlv; of Aug, Ist, we had
called w of the citizens in
and alittle village to talk
over to our hearts, that
of through our
i to support the Ma
son amendmdht to the Conscription
Act, also the raising of a fund to
bring a test lease in the courts to
determine whether the Act is consti
tutional. Evidently some one got
busy as there arrived in our midst
too sheriff, a secret service agent and
a stenographer. Pet "jigs of resent
ment pan high, for ' the people fflt
that iJttey had a constitutional right
to thug maet' They were all well
known md respectable people, and
had always been law abiding. They
simply.-felt' that they were outraged.
The speaker not being able to be
present for the occasion, it was de
cided that the object of the meeting
would be dispensed with for the
time. Dr was chosen chair-
man for the evening. The doctor
made a short but very interesting ad
dress, making no mention whatever
of the obects for which the . meeting
was called. At the close of the ad
dress, the meeting was dismissed.
There was such evident disappoint
ment on the part of the people that
they continued to linger until the
high browed officials were well on
their way in the county seat, then
they proceeded under the broad,
canopy of heaven and by the light
of the moon to outline our plans
for future action.
REV. .
Ohio.
