Congress Asked to Change the
Second-Class Matter Rules.
The Law as It Now Stands Gives Post-
Office Department Censorship Over
the Advertising Columnas.
Washington, D, C.—Postoffice de
partment ofiicials believe that con
gress next winter will enact some
very important legislation affecting
that department, In addition to the
efforts to wsecure the passage of a
parcels post bill and a postal savings
bank bill, the bill recommended by
the postal commission making most
important changes in the law regu
lating the transmission of second class
matter will be pushed.
The changes recommended by the
commission are for the improvement
of the service to give the public bet
ter facilities as well as taking from
the department some of its arbitrary
powers, It is generally believed that
there is no press censor under the
government such as they have in for
cign countries, and in a sense this
is true, but under the existing law
every publication, from daily newspa
per to monthly magazine, is at the
mercy of the postoffice department.
It the third assistant postmaster
general, under whose jurisdiction is
the second class mail matter, should
take a notion to exclude from the
mails 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, as
it now stands, also gives the pos.-
office department censorship over the
advertising columns of a newspaper.
Any advertisement that can be con
strued as a lottery notice, or mislead
ing 'in sense, would be sufficient to
throw out of the mails the edition of
the paper containing the offending ad
vertisement. Therefore, the power
lodged in the official named is of
such a character that he becomes a
dictator from whom there is no ap
peal.
When corporations complain of the
government's inquisitorial methods
they should ask the newspaper pub
lishers to tell them something about
the postoffice department. The pos
tal commission was very much im
pressed when the members investi
gated the subject a year or two ago
and in their report to congress rec
ommended a change in the law that
would give the publisher the right
to appeal to the courts from a de
cicion of the department that ex
cludes the publication from the mails.
Under the practice now in vogue a
publisher may be cut off from the
second class privilege and he has
no redress for the injury receiyed.
The department holds that the ad
mission of publications to the second
class at the reduced rates is not a
light given by law, but a privilege,
The publishers, it was intimated at
the postoffice department, will make
an active fight next winter to secure
legislation in conforcity with the rec
ocmmendations contained in the postal
commission's report. 1t has been
made clear to the publishers that of
late years the postcfiice department
has placed obstacles in the way of
their efforts to increase revenue, Many
propositions submitted by’ publishers
were rejected by the postofficce de
partment on the ground that it would
be an' infraction of the rules govern
ing the admission of second class
matter,
The last report of the third assist
ant postmaster general made it clear
to the publishers that if they are to
keep at the head of the procession
and make more attractive their pub
lications, it will be necessary for
them to combine to secure legislation
that will take from the department
some of its power of censorship,
which may be so arbitrarily used to
punish publishers
PRORIBITION LAW UPHELD.
Tennessee Case Will Be Appealed to
Supreme Court for Decision,
Chattanooga, Tenn.—Judge 1. M.
McConnell, chancelar, has decided
that the liquor sales act passed by
the last legislature is valid, with the
exception of the clause preventing the
shipment of liquor by dealers to
points outside the state, which would
be an interference with the regula
tion of interstate commerce,
In other respects the applicatio« for
an injunction brought by J, M. Kelly
and others against Sheriff Connor and
others is denied, and it is held to
have been the intention of the legis
lature to prohibit both wholesale and
retails sales in the state,
The case will be appealed to the su
preme court by both sides,
VETERANS OF TWO WARS FIGHT.
Spanish War Soldier Bested by Con
federate Soldier.
Louisville, Ky.—Joseph Hallman, a
Confederate veteran, aged 60, put in
the hospital John Hudson, a Spanish-
American war veteran, because Hud
son disparaged the service Hallman
had seen under Jackson and Lee.
Hallman was jailed, pending the out
come of an alleged concussion of the
brain, which his blows inflicted upon
Hudson,
Hallman says that in a friendly con
versation Hudson attempted to lay
over the “glorious struggle of 1863
the exploits of those who had charg
ed up Sen Juan Hill with Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt. g

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IT?
That the doctrine of home rule has
ever been a principle dear to the
hearts of our southern people, and
the patronizing of home institutions
is simply the application of this prin
ciple to our daily and individual ne
cessities,
Never before in the history of the
south has southern people so exten
sively bought, sold and traded in all
lines among its home people. For
illustration, take a single instance:
Not many years ago, the farmer ook
his cotton to town and sold it. That
cotton was shipped north, made into
products by northern and eastern
mills and sent back for that same
farmer to buy. Now he takes his coi
ton to town and sells it, in a great
many instances, to a cotton mill in
his home town, It is converted into
manufactured product within a few
miles of where the cotton itself was
produced.
Not alone in cotton, but in many
other lines, hundreds of products
bought and used by southern people
are manufactured in the south.
This means developing the difierent
sections of the south in the expendi
ture of money for the building of
these .manufacturing plants and in
the expenditure of money in the em
ployment of labor. Every doliar spent
in this way is beneficial to you be
cause it enriches and develops your
home section,
The same article applies identically
to. life insurance.
The Empire Life Insurance Compa
ny is a purely mutual, old line, lezal
reserve, southern institution, with its
Home Office in Atlanta, Georgia. Its
funds are received in the way of pre
mium payments from the people of
the south. Its funds go back to the
people of the south in the way of pol
icy loans, payment of death clains
and policy dividends.
Its reserve funds are invested in
bonds of southern siates and southern
towns and cities; also, in firsi mori
gages on farms and other town prop
erty of southern people. All of which
means the using of southern laoney
for the development and enriching of
this southern country and southera
instituticns.
Therefore, when you can get jusi
as good, it not better, policy in just
as goed a company by taking your
life insurance in the Empire Life, ask
yourself to patronize a home company
rather than to send your premium
payments off five hundred or a thou
sand miles away to some easiern or
northern company,
The Empire Life is safe and sound
and conservative in its management.
It pays its claims promptiy. Then
give us your business,
