If passed it would make it a! felony-—-not a misdemeanor, — by | the way, but a penitentiary of-/ fense—-for a publisher to mail a newspaper containing the adver- | tisement of 2 business specially | licensed by the Federal Govern- ment. The proposal is crooked and dishonest. Suppose the bill should pass;! what would be the next thing?
