THE LAW
A LAW may be a foolish law. 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.

and obvieus: i
"Tile iinprovemenls made in our

"Keporls eomo i'lom all over Ihe

installed. A gentleman was here
from iWnrshfield Just week who is
making a tour of all the eities of
Oregon getting ideas on civic im
provement for the chamber of com
merce of his city, and he was very
loud iu bis praise of (be improve

our bilulithio paved streets w,ol'o the

"This did not slarl in on the im

crane their necks to look at our

"The streets nnd lights are u great
advertisement to the city, but the
improvement should not be allowed
lo slop, and the people should stall
right away to continue the im
provement should not be allowed lo
stop, and the people nhould stnU
