Of course, the “steerers” and “cappers” for this press-muzzling and official censorship game will tell you that such entrance of the “interests” into our literary field is “quite impossible;” that “the postal laws prohibit it;” that “it would be a foolish waste of money on their part,” and a score or more of other equally silly, equally false and equally “steered” arguments. You can take it from me _flat_ that the man--_any man_--who hands you that sort of talk is either _hired_ to talk it or he is mentally unsound. The “interests” are _already_ in the periodical business. They own, or control, at this hour, hundreds of newspapers, magazines and other periodicals. This is a matter of common knowledge to every citizen who _reads when he is awake_. Not only that, but the interests, banking, industrial, transportation, etc., have gone into the book publishing business (the bound book), _and hundreds of thousands of copies of their capping “literature” have been distributed to the people_, either free or at a price far below cost of production. Not only that, but the “interests” are annually (_now_), distributing millions, in the aggregate _hundreds_ of millions, of circular letters and circular matter, under seal and open circular-matter sheets, pamphlets, etc., first and third class, at a cost of _eight cents a pound or more_. So, I repeat, the man who attempts to controvert my previous statement as to the intent, _the ulterior motive_, of the conspirators backing that rider to the 1911 postoffice appropriation bill is either hired--bought--or is a fool. It is one of his easiest “stunts” for any writer to produce a “promotion” story or article. For instance: The “Packing Interest,” monthly or weekly, can print three or four “nice” stories. One, say, about “Lucy and Her Window Garden,” another about “High Light Pink, the Broncho Buster,” etc., etc. Then can follow a “literary” write-up of how “Jones Rose From a Wheelbarrow Man to Foreman in a Steel Mill,” or about how “Cruiser Miller Dropped His Blazing Ax and Became Partner in a Great Lumber Company,” etc., etc. After this may come a “Home Department,” and then a few local or “plant” news items. In the first, your wife and mine will be told how to make her currants (not her currency) jell; how to make children “bread winners;” how to “crochet an art tidy,” or how to “Subsist a Family of Five on Thirty-Nine Cents a Day.” In the “Local” or “Plant” news may appear some explanation of how Crawloffski, who had lost a leg in service, is “improving in the hospital” (County), and “is under the competent care of the company’s physician,” of the promotion of “Mr. James Field, formerly ‘run-way driver,’ to the position of ‘hammer-man’ in the slaughter pen, with an increase of $2.80 a week in salary.”
