THE following is taken from an editorial contained in the New Bedford (Mass.) Evening Standard of February 20, which shows how the International Reform Bureau regards Postmaster-General Cortelyou’s attitude on their use of the franking privilege:— “The International Reform Bureau is not disposed to take altogether pleasantly Postmaster-General Cortelyou’s ruling which will exclude from the franking privilege not only its own ‘Patriotic Studies,’ but reprints of speeches in Congress and of documents ordered by Congress. It says of the postmaster-general in connection with this subject:— “His attention has also been called to the wholesale franking done in the last presidential campaign by the Republican and Democratic congressional committees, composed of the most eminent men in both houses, for example, to a pamphlet entitled “What Roosevelt Says” (containing matter of great civic value on as great a variety of subjects as “Patriotic Studies”), which was printed for the committee of which Mr. Cortelyou himself was the national chairman, at the Globe printing-office in Washington, with other documents that were edited by omitting paragraphs and by adding headings, new paging, indexing numbers, and even the union label of the Typographical Union.”
