~ 5 i : ? | i I ' STOP THOUSANDS OF POST-CARDS Strenuous Crusade in Chicago _ Calls Attention to Quiet { Work Here. USE THEIR JUDGMENT. Every Carrier and Sub-Station | Superintendent Helps Check the Improper Output. Poor Chicago 1s being purified. For Months crusaders have been rampaging through the Loop district and Tender- loin, And now, along with Grizzly Bear. ‘Apache and kindred ragtime dances, the off-cotor postcard has been put under ‘the ban. Postmaster D. A. (ago's latest mora! champion. Campbell is Chi- He has Mmetituted a crusade against objection- able postcards. ‘ensors have been @p- pointed at all the sub-posta! stations in the Windy City, and woe to the un- fortunate person with a dublous sense ‘of humor wio attempts to make Uncle @im’s Chicago agents distribute ques- tenable cards. ‘Postmaster Campbell has divided the @irds about which there might be some doubt into three classes: ‘Men and women kissing. ‘Women in abbreviated costume. (anima! pictures, ‘Of course there are lots of cards that frankly and unmistakably unfit for tion in polite society. It has net heen thought necessary to classify these, @ Postmaster Campbell believes his @mistants capable of pioking out such @atter without further instruction. What he is after is the development @f an acute sense of what is proper among his sub-station censors, that they May learn to read between the Hines or Daughtiness that makes it unfit for dis- tr@bution, NEW YORK CENGORS HAVE LONG BEEN ON JOB. ‘To find out just what the postal eer- of New York is doing about the Of indecent postoards, an Even- 1d reporter called on Postmaster to-day and showed him the re- Postmaster Campbells activities. ou Se rae are just waking up to fulsance,” said Mr. Mor- “Here in New York we have been ‘stopping indecent and scurrilous post- ut Worl Fi] te ‘earge right along. Every gub-station superintendent and all the carrie instructed to stop any card of this c! re ‘ecter, and we receive many hundreds ef them every day for consignment to ‘the dead letter office. “Of course there is such a thing as carrying the idea too far. If this list f objectionable cards supposed to have been ordered stopped by Postmaster Campbell is correct I don't see just how be te going to carry It out. “For instance, there is the first item— fen and women kissing. Why. there @re ‘some very pretty and innocent Cards, reproduced from the sketches an4 color drawings of our dest jMustra- tors, in which sweethearts are shown fan etrace. Surely, one can hardly Gall quo a card indecent. ABBREVIATED COSTUMES NOT NECESSARILY VULGAR, “Then the second division—women in @bbreviated costume. I should think the question of degree in abbreviation wid enter hefe. There are some ‘of bathing girls and ballet dancers @Bout which there is no element of In- decency, ani there are others of en- tirely different character. Our men are inatructed to use their judgment in dis- inguiehing between what is merely @ftistic and pretty and what Js coarse ef vulger, Then, too, the printing on the Card usually is sufficient to guide one in the question whether the card 1s ‘meant to be vulgar or not. *The order against animal pictures is father stringent, 1 should think. I see Postmaster Campbell is reported to say: "Not one picture of an anémal fs fit to fe exhibited in public.’ I have seen Qundreds of cards displayed in p swindows in which animats are the cen- trai figures that are entirely innocent and harmless. Of course there are other Kinds of animal pletur show think any carrier or sul superintendent would be able criminate between the two without spe- ¢lal instruction.” Postinaster Morgan called attention to the section in the Postal laws and regu- lations covering postcards, This sec- tion is based on the statute against In- @ecent mailing matter, Postmaster Morgan said this regula- tion, properly observed, is all that is necessary to prevent the circulation of Smproper postcards. Of course, inde- cent cards are often sent in sealed en- velopes. The postal authorities have ne right to open an envelope to see whether or not the enclosure ts fit to be + ment throught the mails, The penalty for sending indecent post- ‘eda through the mails 4s $5,000 fine or @ year's imprisonment. This applies Mot only to the sender of the card but @ny postofMice employee who allows \t 0 go through his hands, According to Postmaster Morgan few postcards #ent openiy under one-cent post the vigilance of his assistants. ‘The Chicago crusade against the tm- proper postcard is an echo of a wide- valagey crusade carried on several years tha cards stopped by the Satiation at that time were the St. ‘Patrick's Day cartoon cards. The Irish izations throughout the country @arried the matter through the Post- wmster General to President Roosevelt ‘and won their cause. Occording to Postmaster Morgan there will be no unusual crusade against the ponteard in New York, He is en- rely satisfied with the way the mut- ser & being handicd. JUNIORS’ SUIT DEP’TS.
