As a Matter of Business.

AS a matter of fact, the American News
company stands between the community and
blacknlail 1t throttles libel onits threshold
Circumstances which are an inherent part Of
it's business have forced it to assume the rola
of a censor of the press-obliged it to perform
a duty that in other countries is recognized
and attended to by the government. And
this is accomplished without any hardship to
anybody except scoundrels From its peculiar
environment, this power is not liable TO ba
abused. The News company does not say
s'You shall not print defamation, OF publish
filth," but it does say: "We will not circulate
q libel or sell that which is unquestionably
indecent. And we presume to judge. This
is not morality or missionary work with US
it is business. We are liable under the law
we are simply protecting ourselves" So this
part of the business is carefully watched.
1t is well understood that the line is closely
and uncompromisingly drawn. Reputable
lawyers know that the American News corn
pany will not defend known libel Il III
vestigates and says: Eyes, this is libel; it
has escaped our vigilance; we will pay your
costs, and throw out the publication" Aud
adventurous publishers know this as well as
lawyers. The Bedouins of the press have re-
peatedly threatened to start publications
here that would make Rome howl" if they
could only get into the channel of circula-
ton. And so indeed Rome would 'howl"
loud and long-but for the ounce of pre-
vention-worth so much more than the
pound of cure-determined by the News
company, in the pursuance of a sound BUSH
ness policy.-Current Literature.
