Obscenity in the mails triggers House vote on censorship bill

If ignored, the matter would go to the Justice Department for a court order to remove the sender from the list. The bill aims to curb smut without expanding censorship powers.

Majors Freighting Era and Downfall Chronicle
Alexander Majors of Missouri built a vast 1847 freighting operation from Westport to Santa Fe, expanding to 100 wagons and 1,000 oxen with 120 workers. A War Department contract and Utah conflicts strained funds, leading to bankruptcy in 1867. He died in 1900 in Chicago after a sorrowful decline noted by historians.
