CHANGE THE LAW.

There is considerable agitation going
on in this state to secure modification
of the law OF criminal libel in two mater
ial points. One that the plaintiff be re-
quired to give bonds for costs; the other,
doing away with the fiction OF the law
that imputes to the publisher implied
malice. These changes have already
been made in many states, and are found
to work we'll. No man, who believes his
character injured, should be prevented
from going into court to have that injury
remedied, If he thinks it can be remedied in
that way. But, owing to the infrequency
with which such suits succeed, the public
good would seem to require Of such a
sutton that he put up for the expense, in
case OF failure, and not throw the burden
upon the public.
In no other offense known to the crini-
nal law does the law imply malice. Malice
is an essential element of most crimes,
and its presence or absence is matter Of
proof in all other crimes. Speaking on
this particular subject, writer in the
National Journalist says that in the past
three or four years he has been vexed
with seventeen libel suits, not one having
been brought to trial. In most of the
suits the plaintiffs were entirely unrelia-
BILE and all the suits have been brought
at the instance of shysters with the view
of extoiting something in the way of set
Element, with the fiction of implied NAL
ice in their favor and the knowledge that
the defendant must be put to the expense
of hiring counsel and preparing for de-
tense. With no risk to themselves OF
their penniless clients, briefess lawyers,
without cause, egg on these suits fol
the little personal gain that may be ex-
torted to save expense. We heard within
few weeks leading Chicago publisher
say that he had just settled $780, 900 suit
by buying the plaintiffs attorney new
suit of clothes. 1t is incredible that such
disreputable parasitic shysters should
exist to bring the honorable profession o.
the law into disgrace; but there is nc
doubt they will continue to he, so long as
the law gives them improper latitude.

A NATTER OF PRINCIPLE.

just one year ago tomorrow, the
HERALD in obedience to what it regarded
the proper functions of newspaper, felt
called upon to criticise, with more or less
severity, the public acts OF the school
board of this district. Some of the men,
bers of the board, as individuals, saw fit
to apply the criticisms to themselves per-
sonally by bringing action against the
editor of HERALD, both for criminal and
civil libel. The criminal suit ended in a
verdict of not guilty, and the civil suit
has been brought to close, either tenn
porarily or for all time, by the failure Of
the plaintiff, Frank H. Owen, to prose-
cute the suit to judgment by neglecting
to comply with the orders of the court.
Now that the whole matter has ended
favorably to the HERALD, this paper
deems it only right to say what it never
would have said until the litigation was
ended.
What the HERALD said was not mat
ter to be applied personally to any one
individual. 1t was a criticism of the
public acts Of public body, and nothing
could have.been more injurious to Mr..
Owen, provided he cares anything for his
reputation, that he should have gone into
court of justice and said, in effect:
These remarks apply to me; they are I'M
true; place my character in one side Of
the scale Of justice and ask the court to
put ten thousand dollars in the other
side of the balance to equalize the injury
done to that character. To have said
this, and then fail to prosecute the matter
to the bitter end, must be much more
hurtful than to have said nothing at all
The HERALD repeats that, while it
makes no attack upon individuals, yet
upon the public acts of individuals, or
upon the acts OF any public body, it shall
always comment with such degree OF
approval or harshness as it honestly be-
lieves these acts merit.
In ninety-nine cases out OF a hundred
the correct advice to those contemplating
libel suits is the same as that given by
Punch to those contemplating matrimony
Don't" AS the court has forcibly and |
truthfully said, Generally speaking a
civil action for libel is dangerous ex-
pertinent. In large majority of cases
the plaintiff, after advertising to all the |
world that he is willing to sell his repu- !
tation for money, discovers that his repu-
tation WON'T bring him enough, after all,
to pay his counsel fees.

Diet For Dyspeptics.

Eat slowly; masticate the food thorough
", even more 80 II possible than is required
In health.
Avoid drinking at meals. At most take
few sips Of warm, unstimulated drink at
the close Of the meal If the food Is very dry
in character.
In general dyspeptic stomachs manage
dry food better than that containing much
fluid, SO avoid light soups
Eat neither very hot nor very cold food.
The best temperature is about that Of the
body. Avoid exposure to cold soon after
eating.
Be careful to avoid excess in eating. Eat
no more than the wants Of the system re-
quire. Strength depends not on what is
eaten, but on what is digested.
Never take violent exercise of any sort,
either mental or physical, either just be-
fore or after meal 1t Is not good to sleep
immediately after eating
Il 10 is thought necessary to eat three
times q day, make the last meal very light.
For most dyspepties two meals are better
than more, according to the courageous
formulator Of this set Of rules for the man
agement Of that most eccentric and uncer-
tain organ-a dyspeptic stomach.

Liberty Can.

Liberty cap was first used in the United
States as one of the devices on flag Of the
Philadelphia Light Horse Guards, COM
pany Of militia organized some time prior
to the Revolution. Aug. 81, 1775, resolu-
ton providing a seal for the use Of the board
was passed by the committee Of safety at
Philadelphia. On this seal was engraved q
liberty cap and the motto, "This is my
right, and will defend it." The cap is of
very ancient origin, and according to Thorne
was first worn by the Phrygian conquerors
of the eastern part Of Asia Minor. The Ro-
mans took the fashion from them, and it be-
came customary in Rome to place red cap
called the pileus upon the head of a slave
when he was given his freedom. In the
year 1888, when Saturninus took the capital,
a red cap was set up on the top Of spear as
a promise Of liberty to all slaves who would
join him. A cap on a spear was also car
Hed by the conspirators as token Of nber-
ty to Rome when Cesar was murdered, and
a medal, which is still extant, with the
same device, was also struck. As an en-
blem of liberty the cap has been adopted by
England and also by France. The liberty
cap was blue, with a white border; the
French cap was red, and the American Is
blue, with border of gilt stars on white.
