  • THE POLITICAL THOUGHT of BENJAMIN RUSH by PAUL FRANK
    THE POLITICAL THOUGHT OF BENJAMIN RUSH By PAUL FRANK ,,LAMBERT Bachelor of Arts in Education East Central State College Ada, Oklahoma 1968 S~bmitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 1971 THE POLITICAL THOUGHT OF BENJAMIN RUSH Thesis Approved : ii PREFACE This thesis is concerned with illustrating and examining the political thought of Dr. Benjamin Rush of Philadelphia. Rush, the ·' most famous Anierican physician of his day, moved within the circle of such men as George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, and n~merous other luminaries of that era. Furthermore, his adult life spanned the period from the Stamp Act Crisis of 1765 to the War of 1812. His importance notwithstanding, Ru~h has not been studied thoroughly by historians, and his political thought is only one facet of this versatile and i;ignificant individual t;hat has been neglected. Many people come to mind while contemplating the debts of grati­ tude I owe regarding this thesis. Some were not immediately involved in the project. In this category, I must include my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Lambert of Tishomingo, Oklahoma, whose encouragement over the years has been instrumental in my educational achievements to date. Thanks is also due a number of professors, both at East Central State College, Ada, Oklahoma, and at Oklahoma State University, who have inspired me to further my professional training. A special acknowledgment should also be extended to the staff of the Oklahoma State Vniversity Library for their willing assistance in my research p~oblems.

  • Founding-Era Socialism: the Original Meaning of the Constitution’S Postal Clause
    Br. J. Am. Leg. Studies 7(1) (2018), DOI: 10.2478/bjals-2018-0001 FOUNDING-ERA SOCIALISM: THE ORIGINAL MEANING OF THE CONSTITUTION’S POSTAL CLAUSE Robert G. Natelson* ABSTRACT The Constitution’s Postal Clause granted Congress power to “establish Post Offices and post Roads.” This Article examines founding-era legal and historical materials to determine the original meaning and scope of the Postal Clause. It concludes that the Clause authorized Congress to pass all legislation necessary to create, operate, and regulate a unified transportation, freight, and courier system, although it also limited congressional authority in some respects. The founding-era reasons for the postal system were revenue, promotion of commerce, and political control. The Article also corrects some inaccurate claims about the Clause previously advanced by commentators.

[2 boxes] Content Note | Contents | Reel List Institutional History During the revolutionary war, the system for provisioning the Continental army was almost continually reorganized as Congress sought to ameliorate chronic shortages through administrative rearrangements. The following account briefly summarizes the history of the army's procurement system, concentrating on those periods for which the archives' holdings are most complete. For more information consult the attached bibliography and the archives' research file pertaining to this collection. As a first step in organizing a supply apparatus, the Continental Congress created the offices of the Quartermaster General and the Commissary General on June 16, 1775. The Quartermaster General was responsible for transporting and delivering supplies, establishing the order of battle, regulating the marches and arranging camps. The Commissary General, on the other hand, was responsible for procuring food. Because of their dependency on one another they often overlapped in performing their duties. In August 1777, following a period in which the army suffered severe shortages, Congress expanded the Commissary General's department to include two new positions: a Commissary of Purchase and a Commissary of Issues. When the army moved from Brandywine to Germantown in September 1777, the Commissary of Issues established temporary magazines along the route, giving orders for the Quartermasters to issue several days provisions to the men.

    National Association of Postal Supervisors Historical Sketch Revised 2018 Notes on the Revised Historical Sketch This document was originally prepared by NAPS Editor Byrd B. Saxton (the year is unknown). It was substantially revised in 1992 with the assistance of indi- viduals affiliated with the following organizations: • Committee on Post Office and Civil Service, US House of Representatives; • Federal Managers Association; • International Association of Fire Fighters; • League of Postmasters of the United States; • National Association of Letter Carriers; • National Association of Postmasters of the United States; • National Association of Retired Federal Employees; • Office of Personnel Management Library; • The George Meany Memorial Archives, and • USPS Headquarters, including the Compensation Services Division, Government Relations Department, Headquarters Library and the Historian’s Office. Special advisors on the project were retired President Donald N. Ledbetter, Executive Vice President Mo Twomey and Administrative Vice President Dan Jaspan, whose assistance is gratefully acknowledged. Supplemental information was compiled and edited at the direction of the NAPS resident officers. 1908 —The Beginning On September 7, 1908, 50 postal supervisors from post offices in 13 states met in Louisville, KY. Their objective was to establish an association composed of supervisors dedicated to the wel- fare of supervisors and the improvement of the United States Post Office Department (POD). Poor working conditions and an unfair salary system were among the challenges that faced these pio- neers, all of whom risked their livelihoods to participate in these early organizational activities. This foundation, laid so long ago, led to the many improved benefits we are privileged to enjoy today. As this historical sketch illustrates, these founders and their successors have made great progress for the postal supervisor.

    When We Were Young: The American Philosophical Society in the 18th Century1 GARY B. NASH Distinguished Research Professor University of California, Los Angeles n 2018 the American Philosophical Society celebrated its 275th anniversary, though in truth, 1743 is a shadowy date. Some think Ithe APS began in 1727, when Benjamin Franklin, at age 21—having resided in Philadelphia for less than two years since he first arrived in late 1723—convened his famous Junto of leather apron men (Figure 1). Drawing up rules for this private self-improvement group, 12 in number and limited to that size, he tasked “every Member in his Turn” to produce “one or more Queries . to be discuss’d by the Company.’’2 Among the founding group, four were from Samuel Keimer’s print shop (Franklin, Hugh Meredith, Stephen Potts, and George Webb) while the others were shoemakers (John Jones and William Parsons); a surveyor (Nicholas Scull); a scrivener (Joseph Breitnall); a carpenter (William Coleman); an ironmaker (Robert Grace); a glass maker (Thomas Godfrey); and a cabinet maker (William Mangrudge). It was a noble start, indeed an astounding venture, ushered into the world by such a youth striving to implant himself in a young river port, where Quaker merchants and landowners of growing wealth held sway.3 The APS website today claims our Society as an “offshoot” of 1 Read 26 April 2018. My thanks to the anonymous reviewers for their comments and suggestions for this paper. 2 The editors of the comprehensive edition of the Papers of Benjamin Franklin aver that Franklin had been influenced by Boston’s venerable Cotton Mather’s Essays to Do Good (1710), which proposed voluntary groups to encourage morality and religion.
