Is the fact that the government
of the United States is spending the
money of the people (among there
printers and publishers) for the purpose
of diverting business from the
printers of the country a demonstration
of the kind of "squar deal"

raft administration?
I am loath to believe it.
But recent events have inspired a

of the policy and methods
of the post office department will replace
