Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concerning Printed Poison About a month later, the writer believed it his place to call the. Attention of the representative meetings of several religious bodies - as the Friends, Presbyterians and Bap tists - to the fact that at the news-stand in the new City Post Office, objectionable papers, such as above referred to, were on sale, and desiring their concurrence in bringing the matter to the notice of the Government authorities. This was preposed to be done, not. Simply with the object of se curing the prohibition of immoral papers at that particular stand, but with the hope that a rule might issue ofa gen eral character upon the matter, operative in all post-offices owned or leased by the United States Government, and in which the right of the Government's oversight and regula tion of the news-stands could not be contested. Likewise, that the promulgation of such a rule on the part of the Post Office Department would be of great value as a pre cedent, and that it would very much aid State Governments, Councils in cities, and local communities everywhere in dealing with an evil which must be met.
