In accordance with the new law of the Post Office Department, each ad vertisement which now appears in our local news columns must have the word advertisement after it. We are not quarrelling with the Post Office De- i partment, nor with the Legislators, who frequently have to vent their spite on newspapers. Ttie most disagree able part of this law is the fact, judg- ! ing from previous experiences, that papers which obey the law will have merely the satisfaction of having done 1 so, and papers that do not obey it can 1 go right along as they have done he- ! fore. It is a peculiar thing about j Post Office Laws, that they are made to be enforced only by people who wish to obey the law. As evidence of this a communication from this paper to the Post Office De partment complaining about the injus tice of the law which provided that newspapers must not advertise the re sult of euchres, and then did not cn force this law upon dishonest or negli gent papers, received no attention beyond a regular formal reply.
