Congress has made a now rostal law, which went into effect on January 1. 1908. The new law makes it impossi ble t r newspaper publishers to ex tend credit to subscribers. The pro visions are such that no publisher can extend credit aud maintain the second-class rating as to entry of his publication at the vostotflce, and auy other rating Is absolutely prohibitive. The section of the new law most effecting subscriptions to weekly newspapers reads as follows: "A reasonable time will be allowed publishers to secure renewals of sub scriptions, but unless subscriptions are expressly renewed after the term for which they are paid, within the following periods: Dailies aitbiu three months, Semi-Weeklies w itbiu nine months. Weeklies within twelve months, they shall not be counted in the legitimate list of subscribers and copies mailed ou account thereot shall not be accepted for mailing at the second class oosage late of one cent per pound, but may be mailed .t th tiam-ient second class postage rate, of one cent for each four ounces or fraction thereof, prepaid by stamps affixed." It can be plainly seen that this law is intended to, aud does shut out of the mails all papers addressed to parties not paid in advance, only by putting a stamp on each paper, which would incur an enormous e pense, as well as a great deal of work. The Examiuer has always extended credit to subset ibers, where they desired it, and we regret very much that we cannot do so still. It is true, subscribers are allowed twelve months in which to renew their subscriptions, but to comply with the letter of the new law. subscribers are expected to pay for their paper in advance, and when one goes to "whipping the devil around the bush," as the saying goes, he brings upon himself a close scrutiny by the postal inspectors of bis method of conducting his business. So our piau will be, to keep well within the bounds of the law, and we shall expect our suhscriders to help as out in our efforts to do so. We have very few subscribers on out list at the present time who are in arrears, and we hope those few will ru milling to come to oar assistance as we have ever been to accommodate them by extending credit. We feel that the law is an imposition upon our private business, and we did all in our power to prevent its passage, but to no avail Last year .an organization of publishers of weekly newspapers was formed, which we joined and voted to defeat the proposed law, but the large daily newspapers who invariably collect subscriptions in advance, were pitted against us in this work, and won out ovei our protests. Their motive was, no doubt, to "freeze out" a lot of the smaller weeklies ; but The Lake County Examiner will be doing busi ness at the old stand, ju.t the same. This is a federal law, and affects very newspaper in the United States. We are given until April tlrst, this year, to collect all arrearages. We believe we have stated the situation plainly, and that none can be offend ed at being asked to satisfy arrearages, bo that we may look the postal iu ebpector squarely in the face and lay our subscription book open to him. The Idaho Federation of Labor cases are at an end at last. The jury in the Peitiboue trial, after 14 hours' deliberation brought in a verdict of acquittal. Mayer, president of the Western Federation of Miners, who was to have been tried on a charge in connection with the Steiuenburg mur der, was released and the cases will all be cropped except that against Or chard and Adams for the murder of Governor Steuneuburg.
