Beck, New York's noted constitutional lawyer, who has carefully reviewed the act and found that congress exceeded its constitu- tional powers in passing it. This act makes it the duty of the editor, or owner of every newspaper, maga- zine, periodical, or other publication to file with the postmaster general twies a year setting forth the names and postofiice addresses of the editor and manag- ing editor, publisher, business man - agers, and owners, and, in addition, the stockholders, 'b owned by a corporation; and al- 80 the names of known bond holders, mortgagees, or other security hold - ets, and also in the case of daily Rewspapers there stiall be included in such statement number of copies of each issue of such publication sold or distributed NEW PRESS LAW ing six TO BE ATTACKED matter 1S MUCH 70 BROAD Beck, publisher, business manager, a sworn statement if the publication) The the average of the Do You Want We have people who will buy good propositions in REAL ESTATE Tell us what you have to sell.

It if further provided that all edi- torial or other readig matter pub- lished in any such newspaper, maga- zine, or periodical for the publication of which money. or consideration is paid, accepted, Promised shall Be plainly marked ad- vertisement.. Any editor or publisher printing editorial or for which compensation paid, accepted, or promised without so marking the same, shall, upon conviction in any court having juris- diction be fined nob less than, 50 nor more than 500. These two sections, says Mr. have different purposes. The one seeks to establish an imquisitor- ial examination into the ownership of newspapers. and the smount of their sirculation, not for the purpose of regulating the carriage of the mails, but in order to determine who is the responsible owner of the gans of public opinion and the tent of the influence of such organs as measured by circulation. ATTEMPT TO REGULATE NEWS. The other section, shows the object is not to regulate. the carriage of the mils, but to regulate the business of journalism, for it seeks to prohibit, under any. circumstances and withoat to the carriage of the mails the in- sertion in the reading columns of newspaper, as distinguished from its advertising columns, of any matter, for the insertion of which the pub- lisher has received compensation, un- less matter thus inserted is marked advertisement. federal government has power that is not expressly or fair implication delegated to it. Be- yond the guarantee of the press, the constitution is sil- ent as to any federal power over journalism. Undoubtedly the federal govern - ment can forbid the conveyance from Money ? A, T.

MEANS A PRESS CENSORSHIP. Conceding: this power of regula- tion as to the channels of interstate beommerce and of the post roads, a more difficult question remains, ulation the federal government can in effect go into the newspaper of- ices and regulate the methods. of journalism, as to which otherwise be without any. constitu - tional power. If so, the federal gov- whether. under the guise of such reg- it would tion bill sought to regnlate journal- ism. Whe carriage in the mails is a mere pretense, So far asthe federal government is concerned, there is no reason Why u newspaper should be obliged 0 make publie the details of its business office. It is, therefore, obvious that this act is intended to regulate journalism and not the mails. He cites the constitutional pro- vision that congress shall make no w abridging the freddom of speech or of the press, and adds: Tt will be noted that this prohi- bition: is not against, the destruction of the lom of the press, but the ent of the freedom of the ernment can exercise an effective cen- sorship of the press in matters other than those of strict morality. In this connection it refers to an attempt made in 1836 to exclude anti-slavery papers from the mails. A bill for that purpose was defeated bya vote of 25'to 19. Returning to the subject, he say: But that portion of the law vertisements as reading matter does not pretend to regulate mail mat- ters. Whether such publications are carfied in the mails or not, the mere insertion by any editor or pub- lisher of reading . matter for which compensation is paid, accepted, or promised without so marking the same, is prohibited and punished with imprisonment. RIGHTS OF STATE USURPED. Under this section of the law a newspaper which made no use what- ever of the mails and did not avail itself of any other federal instru- mentality, like the channels of inter state trade, would yet be prohibited as an advertisement. No such far teaching usurpation of the reserved police powers of the state has ever been brought to my knowledge. It is a plain, palpable, and naked invasion of the reserved rights of the states. To this question, therefore, th: answer can be unhesitatingly given that the attempt to dictate to news- paper editors and publishers what shall go in their columns, without reference to the sarriage of sueh pub- lications in the mails or in inter state commerce, is unconstitutional. T am confident that any United States court would with little hesi- tation detlare this section of the law null and void. HOLDS LAW UNCONSTITU- TIONAL.

At the age of thirty he embarked on the ship of state, of which he was destin- ed to become the commander. His first political job was a8 a member of the Provincial Assembly of his na- tive Province, to which he was elect- ed as a Liberal. In a little while his eloquence had won for him the: title of Silver-tongued Laurler, and his ability gave him a foremost place in the councils of the Liberal party of the Dominion. In 1874 he was sent to the Dominion Parliament, whero to quote the language of one of his biographers his high pernonal ch acter, hfs undoubted loyalty and at- tachment to the connection of the col- ony with Great Britain, together with his great oratorical powers, speedily gave him high rank among the states- men of Canadi On Oct, 8, 1877, as previously stat- ed, Mr. Laurier became Minister of Inland Revenue. With the passing of the years his capacity for leadership was again and. again demonstrated, and when Mr. Blake retired in 1891, Mr. Laurier was chosen leader of the Liberals, The wisdom of the choles was soon demonstrated, for in the genera election of 1896 he led the Liberal hosts to triumphant vic- tory at the polls, and became Pre- mier of the Dominion, trade so far as the revenue require-1 Hat is destined to be qrents of th.country would pemit.
