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.

Express Office 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. - | Q 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.
