BERGER'S PAPER IS ISSUE
"Withdrawal of Mailing Privileges,
Su&talned in tower Court,
Again Approved.
WASHINGTON. t. C. March 7.
Authority of former Postmaster-General
Burleson to withdraw second-
clasa mail privileges from any pub
lication which violated the espionage
act through printing articles "tending
to create insubordination or disloy
alty" in the military or naval forces
was upheld today by the supreme
court. Associate Justices Brandies
and Holmes dissented.
The court sustained the supreme
court of the District of Columbia
in refusing to issue a mandamus
order compelling restoration of the
privileges to the Milwaukee Leader,
of which Victor Bereer was editor.
The Leader in its appeal was joined
by the New York Call.
"Whatever injuries the relator suf
fered was the result of its own
choire," declared Associate Justice
Clark, who, in reading the majority
opinion, recited excerpts from the
newspapers as submitted by the gov
ernment. "These articles were not
dosisrned to secure a modification or
repeal of the laws they criticised but
were intended to stir up opposition to
them and internal strife."
Withdrawal Right Maintained.
Authority to grant the classified
DrivileKes. the juBtice held, carried
with it authority to withdraw them.
Ho declared it an impossibility for
the postal authorities attempting to
scan each issue of a newspaper sud
mitted to the mails to determine
whether it violated the law. as sup
porting the poxtmaser in making his
order cover "the indefinite future."
The criticism that the "due proc
ess" clause of the constitution was
violated was declared unsupported in
view of the hearing held by Mr.
Burleson.
Associate Justice Brandeis took
issue with the majority upon prac
tically every point. Justice Holmes
"concurred in substance" in Mr. Bran
deis' opinion.
It was inconceivable. Justice Bran
deis said, that congress intended to
confer on the postmaster-general
authority which amounts practically
to an absolute censorship over the
press and he recalled an attempt to
give such authority had been de
feated in congress. 1
Authority Held l"urped.
"The postmaster-general concedes
in his brief." he continued, "that con
eress did not confer the vague and
absolute authority practically to deny
circulation to any publication wnicn
in his opinion is likely to violate any
postal law. I cannot believe that in
establishing postal classification in
JS7S congress intended to confer on
the postmaster-general authority to
issue the order complained or.
"If under the constitution adminis
trative officers may as a mere inci
dent of the peace time administration
of their departments be vested with
the power to issue such orders as this,
there is little of substance in our bill
of rights and in every extending gov
ernmental function lurks a new dan
ger to civil liberties."

the Republic for Oregon, died at his
home here last night after an Illness

Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex

spoonful of salts occasionally to
keep down uric acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which Is gene
rated In the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. It is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine. The
pores of the skin are also a means of
freeing" the blood of this Impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the
skin pores are closed, thus forcing
the kidneys to do double work, they
become weak and sluggish and fail to
eliminate this uric acid which keeps
accumulating- and circulating: through
the system, eventually settling In ths
joints and muscles, causing stiffness.

At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon-
rui in a glass of water and drink be
