Jasper County Democrat, Volume 23, Number 2, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 April 1920 — IT ENDS OUR RESPONSIBILITY [ARTICLE]

IT ENDS OUR RESPONSIBILITY

With Mailing The Democrat at the Local Poetoffice. The Democrat is mailed at the postoffice in Rensselaer every Tuesday and Friday evenings. Such mailing constitutes delivery to our subscribers to the extent of our ability. We are not responsible for the damnable mail service that we have, apparently all over the country, and we do not guarantee any subscriber that he will ever get a copy of The Democrat through the malls. We mail them and are called upon to pay the postage, which we do, but the subscriber n.ust take his chances with everybody else. The Democrat believes that the trouble In the mail service is caused by a conspiracy among a large number of the employes —who are seeking Increases in pay—to make the service just as abominable as possible. There seems to be too much of this don’t-give-a-damness among the postal employes to render anything like decent service to the public. Of course we want every subscriber to receive his paper regularly and will look after all complaints, but when we have done thia we want the subscriber to transfer •his cussing to the postal service and give us a rest.
