SOME POSTAL LAWS D
CIGARETTES AND CRIME
REDUCED RATES TO EAST-
ERN TERRITORY
What the Court Says in Re-
gard to Newspaper Sub-
scriptions.
The following is a synopsis of
a ruling of the United States Su-
* preme Court in important cases
regarding newspaper subscriptions.
1. Subscribers who do not give
express notice to the contrary are
considered as wishing to renew
their subscriptions.
2. If subscribers order the dis-
continuance of their periodicals, t he
"j, publisher may continue to send
them until arrears are paid.
3. If subscribers refuse or neg-
lect refusing to tako periodicals!
from the post office to which they |
* are directed they are responsible
until after they have settled their
bills and ordered the paper discon-
tinued.
4. If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub-
lisher and the papers are sent to
* the former address, subscribers are
held responsible.
5. The courts have decided that
refusing to take periodicals from
the office or removing and leaving
them uncalled for is prima facie
evidence of intentional fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at
the end of the time if they do not
" wish to continue taking it, other-
wise the publisher is authorized to
send it and the subscriber be re-
sponsible until an express notice
with payment of all arrearages are
sent to the publisher.
7. The latest postal laws are
to the effect that a newspaper pub-
lisher can arrest anyone for fraud
who takes the paper and refuses to
pay for it. Under the law the
man who allows his subscription
to run along for some time unpaid
"and then orders it discontinued,
or orders the postmaster to mark it
"refused" and has a postal card!
sent notifying the publisher, leaves |
himself liable to arrest and tine, i
Hie same as for theft.
Probation Officer Johnson
Warns the Boys
Probation Officer W. C. Johnson,
in addressing au audience of boys
yesterday afternoon at the boy's
club rooms iu Light Bearers' hall,
Eighteenth street and College ave-
I nun, aaid that cigarettes were the
| cause of nearly all the downfalls
I among boys. In his experience with
| the juvenile court he had learned
that in ue-irly every caBe where u!
| boy breaks into a store the first thing
he steals is tobacco.
"Out of 4."jO boys who have been
takeu into the juvenile court," said
Mr. Johnson, "ninety-five per cent
were cigarette smokers. I never saw
a boy who played hookey from
school but did not smoke cigarettes.
This habit is the beginning of crime.
It makes the will power weak, so the
boys can not resist other temptations
so well, it weakens the eyesight and
kills the ambition. I know a little
fellow on the Wtfst side who liee on
the bed for two and three hours at a
time smoking cigarettes. He has be
come addicted to the habit and says
he cau not stop it. He will be sent
to a reform school where he can't get
the poisionous things.
"Two boys were caught stealing
in a store not long ago. Each was
a cigarette smoker. One of them
quit this habit, however, and braced
up. Now he is the leader in a Sun-
day school clais, while the other,
who kept on with the cigarettes has
gone lower ever since."—Kansas City
