How the Righti of American Citi
lens Are Construed as Privileges
Which May Be Taken Awav at the
Whim of Some Man Who Has Not
Even Been Eleoted to His Office.
By JAMES f. MORTON, Jr.
The adherents of universal govern
ment ownership are never weary of
pointing to the postoffice as the crown
ing Illustration of the blessings of fed
eralism. The splendid uniformity and
regularity of ifs operations are held up
to our admiration In contrast to the
Imagined evils of private management
of the mails. So loudly are the claims
uttered that not one individual In a
thousand so much as suspects that
there Is the least dispute concerning
the alleged facts on which they are
founded. Yet a little investigation will
disclose that even In this branch of
service, far more adapted to govern
ment handling than almost any other
that can be named, there exist, side by
side with whatever benefits are found
to accrue, the most serious evils and
jdangers, from which private manage
ment Is free.
The question of economy would re
quire extended handling, and it is
enough for the present purpose to re
mark that a close Investigation in this
direction will give the advocates of fed
eral ownership more than one bad half
hour. A much more serious phase of
the subject Is that which concerns the
gradual transformation of an adminis
trative function into an autocratic cen
sorship. That such a process should
have actually taken place under the
fostering care of democratic Institu
tions would M Incredible if not proved
beyond a carlf.
Here are 9 few facts: Under the
"fraud order" system an individual
who has given offense to a single
postal official may be driven to bank
ruptcy without fault on his part and
with no hope of redress from the courts
or from any other source. An Irre
versible fiat may forbid all delivery of
mall to him as long as he lives and
thus effectively cut him off from com
municating with his kind. He may be
a man of the strictest honesty. A
Judge and jury may determine his busl-
ness to be entirely legitimate. Still,
one hostile bureaucrat in Washington
may reruse mm tue elementary rights
or a citizen. The united States su
preme court has coldly ruled that use
of the malls Is "a privilege and not a
right" and that the citizen has no
ground for legal complaint if the post
al authorities see fit to deprive him
of it. In other words, the government
first suppresses all competition in car
rying the mails, allowing no means of
communication except through its
agency, and then assumes the right to
refuse to any person the service it will
not allow him to obtain elsewhere! If
there is no menace to our liberties in
this, pray where shall we look for such
a menace?
That not a mere possibility, but a
serious actuality, is here spoken of the
caso of Helen Wiimans will serve to
demonstrate. Mrs. Wiimans published
a mental science paper, wherein she
sot forth the doctrine that mind suf
ficiently developed and concentrated
could become entirely dominant over
bodily disease and might in time even
achieve the conquest of death Itself.
Sho offered her services to re-enforce
the wills of those who sought for
health and bodily vigor and seems to
have actually helped many hypochon
driacs and nervous Invalids to regain
strength by renewing their self confi
dence and hopefulness. That her prac
tice resulted In hnrm to any human be
ing has never been shown. There was
no deceit in ber treatment Its nature
was clearly stated, and only those to
whom her theories carried conviction
availed themselves of it In an evil
hour, however, she chanced to offend a
postal ofllclal. As a consequence an
edict was promulgated denying her all
use of the malls for any purpose. Ev
ery letter addressed to her was stamp
ed "Fraudulent" and returned to the
sender. The order was extended to tho
paper, causing its death and depriving
her of the right to present her side of
tho matter to the world. Ultimately
all the members of her family were
embraced in the sweeping fiat. For
something over five years, up to the
day of her death, this American wo
man was ollicially marooned from In
tercourse with her kiud through the
mails. No appeal was of any avail, as
tho courts refused to Interfere.
A similar arbitrary proceeding de
stroyed the People's Bank of St. Louis
about two years ago, although this
unique institution was so far from
bsing fraudulent that when thus sud
denly forced to go out of business It
at once liquidated all Its debts, paid
all its depositors In full and returned
dividends of S5 per ceut to the stock
holders. The "second class" mail rulings form
n tissue of absurdities which cannot be
briefly treated. The luckless publisher
ivllhout "inlhieuce" Is treated as a sus
pected criminal from the moment of
his application for admission to the
malls ho lias either too much adver
tising matter or too little, his publica
tion is too much given to exploiting
t ho views of Its editor, tho paper con
tains too little of general interest. It
carries too many exchanges, too many
copies are sent to subscribers In ar
rears, too inauy sample copies are
sent out, and so on. When the pub
Usher in desperation begs for a def
nlte ruling on any one of these points
e Is insolently 1ild that "the depart-

ment cannot undertake to Instruct pub

Just what course will keep them clear
of Scylla and Charybdis or they are
arbitrarily refused "second class" reg
istry, which generally forces the paper
to suspend.
..The elastic laws against lotteries and
obscene literature form another occa
sion for official abuse iof discretion.
Vouchsafing no exact defiultion of
either of these terms, the department
every now and then pounces on a pub
lication whose editor dreamed of noth
ing so little as of giving legitimate
ground Tor offense. The Chicago su
perintendent of second class mulls the
other day branded as "obscene" a re
port of the national purity congress!
The' acting 'assistant attorney general
of the United States tins declared a

sician on Biackwell's Island and recog
nized for fifty years as a classic work
of immense value to the sociological
student A former official found in
decency in a helpful work on painless
childbirth for the use of prospective
mothers.
These are but a few samples of unde
rname aDuse or autnority in the va
rious branches of the postal service,
and the like could be multiplied many
times. Here the citizen Is deprived of
his rights with no vestige of "due proc
ess of law" as arbitrarily as could be
done In Russia. If be appeals to the
courts, he is told that there can be no
redress, as Is clear from the following
decision:
The courts will not Interfere bv mnn-
damus with tho executive officers of the
government in the exercise of their ordi
nary official duties even where those du
ties require an interpretation or law. no
appellate power being given them for that
purpose. u. B. ex rel. Dunlap v. Black.

Under these and like rulings the citi
zen aggrieved by the act of a postoffice
ofllclal must submit to any outrage
that may be Imposed on him. The mat
ter has been repeatedly tested, and
without, any mode of securing relief.
The ' bureaucratic postal regime fur
nishes one of the darkest and most
difficult problems for our democracy to
solve. With government ownerlhln of
transportation lines and other related
activities the possibilities for a com
plete and perpetual despotism would
be enormously Increased. After de
stroying and prohibiting all private
modes of conveyance the government
might well declare that transportation
Is "a privilege, not a right," and cut
off those whom the executive chose to
rate as "undesirable citizens" from all
possibility of travel. Until the post-
office system has been far more thor-
oughly democratized Is it not a species
of Insanity to invite our people to em
bark In enterprises of a more decidedly
state socialistic character?
Soveral Reasons, All of Them Good.
Chrlstiansburg, Va., installed its own
electric plant In 1900 at a cost of flO,
000. A year or so ago the generating
plant was shut down and power pur
chased from a private company. Now
the distributing plant has been sold,
the experiment having proved very
expensive, according to reports. The
mayor writes as follows:.
"We had several reasons for dispos
ing of our electric system. First, we
owned only the lines in and within a
radius of one mile of our corporate HuP
its. The power Is generated about fif
teen miles from our town and is fur
nished by the Grayson Electric com
pany. The J. L. Vaughan company has
purchased our rights and the GrayJon
plant We expect street car and other
Improvements under individual man
agement that we could not under mu
nicipal. Chrlstiansburg is bettered
financially, and we are sure that we
have made a good deal for our town."
Documentary Evidence of Failure.
The electric plnnt installed by the
borough of McAdoo, Va., In 1890 at a
cost of $10,000 was leased in January
Inst for twenty-five years. In the
agreement the situation was set forth
by the couucll as follows:
"The borough Is now owner of a cer
tain municipal electric light plant In
the said borough and In the operation
thereof has encountered certain losses
to such an extent that the cost of op
eration and maintenance, together with
the interest on the bonded indebted
ness incurred by reason of the erection
of the said municipal plant, exceeds
the Income derived therefrom."
The amount of revenue collected dur
ing 1907 Is said to have been about
$1,000 less than the operating ex
penses.
Fewer Snags Under Private Manage
ment, By vote of the city couucll the mu
nicipal gas plant of Nashville, Ark.,
was closed down last January. Al
though the pi-Ice of gas was $3 a thou
sand, the expenses were nearly double
the receipts. The mayor writes:
"The reason of such action by the
council is that it could not make it
self sustaining, but the council has
sluce leased it for two years to the
former general manager, who thinks
he cuu make it pay under private
management."
The manager evidently knew that
with1 a free hand he could steer clear
of some of the snags that could not be
avoided under city management.
Brief, but to the Point.
In 1893 the town of Needhnin, Mass.,
Installed an electric distributing plant
at a cost of $13,774, to which con
siderable additions have since been
made. By vote of the town the plant
has Just been sold for $11,000, and a
twenty year contract for street light
ing was made with the company tnat
for several years had been supplying
he current. The town clerk, sums up
the reason, for thla action In one word,
"economy."

U. S. Coe, one of the prominent

the Clarkes Seedling, Magoou, Uandy
and .the Lovett varieties, and' says
that the berry crop this year was large
and the berries of excellent quality.
He gathered from these vines 45'H)
pounds of berries, and has found a
ready market tor the fruit. Many of
his berries were snippea to rortiaua
markets, where they cohinianded the
highest market price. On aoconut of
the heat during the day the pickers
on the Coe place only picked half a

were about 10,000 plants put out on
his place last fall, and as the soil of
Oanoy is well adapted to the growing
of strawberries, these vines ' havo
taken on a rapid growth, ani bore
well this year. The Hymalaya berry,
that Mr. Coe is experimenting with,
and the only farmer in his section of
the oounty who is trying this berry,
is doing excellently in the soil of his
farm , and the vines grow more rapid

of this variety resembles that of tlio
Evergreen blaokberry in color, but
the flavor is mnoh better, and lasts
until the fall frosts come. Mr. Ooe

CLACKAMAS.
Clackamas Grange No. 298 held a
very pleasant Fonrtli of Jnly picnic in
the grove near the new hall. About
60 people attended, and listened to the
prorgam, enjoyed, a good dinner and
participated in the races which fol
lowed. The ball team from Lents
failing to appear, Clackamas played
the Harmony team in the afternoon.
Sunday, the Spartans from Port
land played against the Clackamas
team. The score was 19 to 6 in favor
of the home team. The latter fool
quit elated, as the Spartans are sched
uled to play at Chautauqua, and ask
wny not we?"
A party of Japs came from Portland
on a little picnic excursion on the
Fonrtli. They hroneht an accordian
and other musical instruments, and
after lunch they sat in the shade and
rendered seme very sweet music.
Quite a party from the Christian
