To Fight Prohibition
Washington, Sept. 1.—Poatoffice de
partment officials believe that congress
next winter will enact some very Im
portant legislation affecting that de
partment. In addition to the eltorta to
secure the paaaage of a parcels post
bill and a postal savings bank bill, the
bill recommended by the postal com
mission making most Important changes
In the law regulating the transmission
of second-class matter will be pushed.
•, iTba changes recommended by the
commission are for the Improvement of
the service to give the public better
facilities ns well as taking from the
department some of Its arbitrary pow
ers. It Is generally believed that there
Is no press censor under the govern
ment each as they have In foreign
countries, and In a sense this la, true,
hut under the existing law. every pub
lication. from daily newspaper to
monthly magazine. Is at the mercy of

Department Censorship.
If the third assistant postmaster gen
eral, under whose Jurisdiction la the
second-class mall matter, should take a
notion to exclude from the malls any
publication he can do so and the courts
may not Interfere. No publication can
secure the privilege of second-class
matter without the approval of that
official. The law aa It now-stands also
gives the poatoffice department censor
ship over the advertising columns of a
new .paper.
Any advertisement that can be con
strued as a lottery notice, or misleading
In aenae, would be sufficient to throw
out of the malls the edition of the paper
containing the offending advertisement.
Therefore, the power lodged In the offi
cial named Is of such a character that
he becomes a dictator from whom there
Is no appeal
No Right of Appeal.
When corporations complain of the
government’s Inquisitorial methods they
should ask the newspaper publishers to
tell them something about the poatoffice
department. The postal commission
waa very much Impressed when the
members Investigated the eubject a
year or two ago and In their report to
congress recommended a change In the
tsw that would give the publisher the
right to appeal to the courts from a de
cision of the department that excludes
the publication from the molls. Under
(he practice now In vogue a publisher
may bo cut off from the aenand-closs
privilege and he has no redress for the
Injury received.
The department hold* that the ad
mission of publications to the second
class at the reduced rates la not n right
given by law, but a privilege, and It Is
this Interpretation, or rather ruling, of
the department*that places every news
paper publisher In the United States at
the mercy of the roan who happens to
be occupying at the time the position of
third assistant postmaster general.
Urges Change of Laws.
The publishers. It was Intimated at
the postofllco department today, will
make an active light next winter to se
cure legislation In conformity with the
recommendations contained In the pos
tal commission’s report. It has been
made clear to publishers that of late
years the poatoffice Apartment has
placed obstacles In the way of their ef
forts to Increase revenue. Many prop
ositions submitted by publishers were
rejected by the postofflee department on
.the ground that It would be an Infrac
tion of the rules governing the admis
sion of second-class matter.
The last report of the third assistant
postmaster general made It clear to the
publishers that If they are to keep at

MRS. CARRY NATION RASPS
REPORTER FOR SMOKING
Indianapolis, lnd„ Sept. 1.—"(Jo away
from me, you cigarette fiend; you smell
bad!” shouted Mrs. Carry Nation, of
hatchet fame, to an Indianapolis news
paper reporter, who sought to Interview
the Kansas lecturer during the few mo
ments hetwcui trains from Columbus,
Ohio, an-route for Peoria .In a high-
pitched, rasping voice, she continued:
"I won’t talk to a reporter who
smokes cigarettes. Shame on you, a
great big fallow like you. You call
yourself a man, but you’re nothing but
a two-legged fiend. You tell your edi
tor that lie must be hard up for brains
when he ljlres you."
But when the reporter picked up her
luggage and carried It to her car she
subsided and confided to him the fact
that Indianapolis Is a hell and always
will be as long as there are saloons
In It.
"But cigarettes! I would rather have
a boy of mine drink whisky than smoke
cigarettes.’’ she said.

*BRAINLESS RICH GREATEST
MENACE TO AMERICA"
—ARCHBISHOP FALCONIO.
Chicago, Sept. 1.—"Everywhere
throughout the world, here In America
ns well os in Europe, the cause of re
ligion Is rapidly gaining and wicked
ness la steadily waning, Indicating a
steady progress of Christian civilisa
tion.’’
This Is the optimistic view expressed
by Archbishop Diomede Faleonlo, apos
tolic delegate to the United States, who
Is In Chicago for the coneecreallon to
day of Rev. Edmund M, Dunne, D. D„
as bishop of Peoria.
"The bralnlese rich" are the greatest
menace to tills country, according to
Archbishop Faleonlo.
Asked at tho residence of Archbishop
Quigley, where ho Is guest, what he
considered tho greatest ovll In this
country and how that evil could bo
suppressed, he gavo this nnswor: "I
consider tho prevalence of divorce tho
greatest of thle great country's great
evils and I consider the misuse of
wealth hy the brainless rich who pro
mote divorces and other evils the great
est menace to the United Btntes."
Amplifying this, the archbishop con
tinued:
"The misuse of wealth Is. perhaps,
the root of most of the country’s social
evils, and the unscrupulous methods by
which great wealth Is often obtained
constitute another great evil. Healthy
public opinion, good laws, temperance
and tho practical righteousness Incul
cated hy the moral teachings of re
ligion. are the remedies for divorce, for
the misuse of wealth, and for the other
social and Industrial evils. Of course
the greatest of these remedies Is re
ligion.” ,
The archbishop was Inclined to take
ah optimistic view, however, of all the
vital problems confronting the Ameri
can people.
”1 believe this wonderful nation will
prove capable of solving all Us puzxllng
problems.” he said. "Tho the divorce
court antics of the wealthy and the
near-wealthy are demoralising, It Is a
grand thing to find so very many
wealthy men are putting Immense sums
of money to philanthropic, charitable,
scientific and religious uses. The mis
use of great wealth Is generally found
among the wealthy young people who
hnvn no brains.”

Pekin, Sept. 1,—Ignoring: the Ports*
riiouth treaty and the International
“open, door” attitude, Japan has forced
China, to yield to the moiled fi*t and
by a nagreement which Is to be signed
today is successful In the ambition to
,get control of the strategic Manchu
rian territory with Its vast commercial
and martial possibilities.
Japan's demands In the negotiations
Just ended made plain the nationaj in
tention of getting a firm grip on Man
churia. Throughout the entire pro
ceedings she was aggressive and un
yielding.* The Chinese representatives
were unable to force the Japanese from
their determined position. According
to the attitude of the Japanese ne
gotiators-. it was either war or conces
sions. Japan got the concessions.
China’s nominal sovereignty over the
Hslento remains, but Japan has made
conditions which absorb practically all
the administrative power. China is
compelled to declare open ports where
the Japanese are given exclusive juris
diction over all Koreans, and also Juris
diction in criminal cases Involving Ko
reans throughout the district. The
opening of the ports was not warranted
by any commercial need, according to
the impression here. Consular repre
sentation by other nations Is improba
ble.
In face of thff Portsmouth treaty not
to obstruct any measures that China
may take for the development of com
merce and industry in Manchuria, Ja
pan has forced a special pledge-, from
China not to build a railway from
Hsinmintun north without Japan’s con
sent
One significant provision Is that if
China should build the Kirin railway
half tho capital required for construc
tion shall be borrowed from Japan,
thus giving Japan the control of an
Important branch from Japan’s main
line toward Vladivostok.
China Is also compelled to transfer
the Talshlchao-Nieuchwang line to Ja
pan.
