Schroeder, Free Press Anthology, p. 171. See also his “Obscene” Literature and Constitutional Law. In The Unanswered Argument against the Constitutionality of the so-called Comstock Postal Laws, and for the Inviolability and Free and Equal Use of the United States Mail, T. B. Wakeman argues that Congress has no legislative power over the subject, and that “the power to suppress obscenity and indecency, together with all other crimes or offenses is one of the general powers reserved in the United States Constitution to the people and the states,” p. 30.
