We notice a general tendency
towards socialism by the post
office department of the General
Government Very likely the
assistant postmaster general who
is so persistantly advertising and
pushing the sale of return card
envelopes would fall dead if he
were aeused of being boosted for
socialism, but he is and a very
bad form of it for it is class so
cialism. He is working against
the small printer and at the
same time making him pay for
what he has not. In other words
he takes the business away from
the printer and in so doing
causes an increase in the postal
deficit, which must be met by
taxation. This taxation must
Ik? made up largely by printers
and those from whom they ex
pect to get their incomes. Is it
lair? Is it just? Xo.v if this
thing is to be done as it is being
done, we must ask that the same
privileges be granted to the
people along other lines. If we
are to have socialism in the
printing department of the gov
ernment then we should have it
in the dry goods and grocery de
partments' also. The govern
ment lets a contract to a Day-!
ton, Ohio iirm to print its enve-
ways be jangling and trouble.
If the government were doing
its own work, or otherwise, at a
fair profit, so that the printers
of the country would not be
taxed to pay the deficit caused
bv robbing them of business, it
would be a different matter, but
we, with thousands of other
printers, will continue to protest
against this injustice until it is
remedied. To add insult to in
jury the postal big bugs want to
increase the rate of jostage on
second class matter, thus hitting
the countrv printers an extra
welt, for the majority of news
pajiers in the United States do
job work from which they reap
a large part of their income.
Another phase of the matter is
this: while the country editor i
boosting for his local merchant
and fighting the mail order
house, the merchant is going to
the postmaster and ordering his
printed envelops of the govern
ment. Is it fair?
(KEEP. THE FLIES '.Off
The murder of Elsie Sigel by
her Chinese lover in New York
ought to be a lesson to white
people to keep their daughters
out of the so-called 'missions"
in the cities. This is one of
those that have been made pub
lic, but it i only one uf many,
for there is more or les of a de
sire among whites to keep such
things quiet. Let the Chinese
follow out their own jteculiar
religious beliefs and practices,
so long as they keep within the
pale of the law. Christianizing
such jeople is mighty poor jol
icy, but if people want to do it,
they should be compelled to do
it through the efforts of men or
of scrawney old maids and not
the prettiest girls that can be
found in the community. It
