		Undoubtedly the Postmaster General has latitude of judgment in deciding whether a publication meets the definition of a newspaper laid down by the law, but the courts have jurisdiction to decide whether the reasons which an administrative officer gives for his actions agree with the requirements of the statute under which he purports to act.
		To a rule to show cause the Postmaster General answered, and a demurrer to his answer being overruled, and the relator not pleading further, the court discharged the rule and dismissed the petition.
		It thus appears that the Postmaster General, in the exercise of a supposed discretion, refused to carry at second-class mail rates all future issues of the Milwaukee Leader, solely because he believed it had systematically violated the Espionage Act in the past.

	REPORT
		If other compensation is due to a postmaster beyond his commissions, it should be in the discretion of the Postmaster General, not exceeding - percent additional to that now allowed, that it may go to the intelligent and faithful, not to the shrewd and unscrupulous, as it chiefly does under the existing law.
		The general interests of the country required it, and the compensation should therefore be made by a general appropriation from the treasury, as this department presumes to have been the intention of the law.
		By the existing laws all postmasters and mail-carriers, and all other persons engaged in handling the mails of the United States, or in clerical service, were, required to take the usual oath of allegiance to this government, as well as for the faithful performance of their duties.

		Respondents' contention that the Postmaster General was without power to modify the order by elimination of Facts magazine, its editor, and its officers and agents is based almost entirely on their two other grounds for asserting invalidity of the order.
		This case presents questions as to the validity of an order issued by petitioner, the Postmaster General, which directed that mail addressed to some of respondents be returned to the senders marked 'Fraudulent,' and that postal money order sums payable to their order be returned to the remitters.
		In reviewing fraud findings of the Postmaster General, neither this Court nor any other is authorized to pick out parts of the advertisements on which respondents particularly rely, decide that these excerpts would have supported different findings, and set aside his order for that reason.

		If the Postmaster General should become persuaded, "upon evidence satisfactory to him," that a person or corporation was operating a "scheme or device for obtaining money through the mails by means of false or fraudulent pretences, representations, or promises," then the cabinet officer could take a drastic step.
		Then the chief legal officer for the Department, at that stage an assistant attorney general, wrote a summary of the hearing and sent it to the Postmaster General with a judgment as to what action should be taken: fraud order or dismissal of the complaint.
		Reports of the Postmaster General are not helpful during these years, containing few references to medical quackery as distinguished from other types of fraud.
