Thero are thousands of laws, which, for good practical reasons, arc not enforced, says Robert ttloss in an article in "Success Mag azine" entiiled "Why Is an Express Company?" Law is merely an expression of the popular will, and if the pop ular will is not behind the law, or does not stay behind it, the Jaw should not exisi. And if you and I and all of us do not want i law enforced, who is going to enforce it? Here js section 181, Kevised Statutes ol the united States, passed March -1, 1909. At that time there had al ready been in existence for forty veal's and more a law coverintr the same point. For fortv vears and more the express business oi'. this country had been operated in direct violation oi' the older statute. There is no qucstmn about it. In so i'ar as the express companies compete with (lit! postoi'i'ice department in carrying mailable matter and that rVt no mean share oi' the express business they are breaking this law. "Whoever shall establish conveyance of letters or packets, or il) any manner cause or provide for the conveyance of the same by regular trips or at staled periods over any post route which is or may be established by law, or from any city, town or place to any other city, town or place between Avliich the mail is regularly carried, or whoever shall aid or assist therein, shall be fined not more than o00 or imprisoned not more than six months, or both. "Provided, that nothing contained in this cection shall be construed as prohibiting any person from receiving and delivering to the nearest postoi'i'ice, postal car oV other authorized depository for mail matter any mail matter properly stamped." Vou" may wonder why the law has not been enforced against the express companies. Not long ago the United States circuit court dismissed a suit brought under this law by Nathan 15. Williams of KayoUovillo, Arkansas, on the ground that a private citizen had no right to bring suit against the express companies for operating against the law over the post roads; such suit, said the court, count be brought only by the government. TheriUipon,' P. L Howard of Cincinnati brought pres sure on the attorney general to act against the express companies. The answer was the lollowing statement, is sued by the department of justice: "The department has made a very complete study of tho proposition and agrees with Mr. Williams on the law, except as to the one point, namely, that there has been an administrative construction against the proposition for over fortv vears, and the chances are that a suit will be defeated on that ground." Our government, ignoring the newer statute, takes the position of killing, by "administrative construction," what is siimiosed to he the popular will.
