which the world cannot beat Hence
II cannot be argued that the debilitat-
ing climate is altogether accountable
for the shiftlessnes and laziness of the
lower Cuban classes. The trouble is in
themselves. They have got to be made
over This is going to be a gigantic
contract and 1t is possible that few of
us will live to witness its completion;
but as sure as fate, we have got to
take hold of the job and go through
with It. As in our own country, among
the illiterate foreigners or the down
south poor white trash" ii will prob
ably be discovered as we go along that
reformative effort on the present gen.
Grafton of illterate Cuban adults is
wasted; but we can teach the children
we can bring them UP so that they will
know how to read. so that thev will
look at things from the best American
standpoints, and have working knowl-
edge of the Golden Rule and the Ten
commandments. This much is hopeful
ground and the sooner American phil
anthropy starts i'm to cultivate it the
sooner will il have the pleasure of har-
vesting an encouraging crop.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-04-20
An Unnecessary Law.

Yesterday in California a law Went
into effect requiring that every article
in any newspaper involving criticism
Of comment upon any public official
shall he signed by the name Of its writ
or. The leading newspapers have de-
cided to pay no attention to the law,
50 as to bring it speedily for review
before the supreme court. Eelief in
it's unconstitutionality is general, but
the measure was forced through the
legislature at the behest of "A number
of prominent politicians who were
writhing under newspaper criticism,
and i'm their condition of mind the mat
ter of unconstitutionality cut en- in
visible figure.
Whether constitutional or not, the
law is entirely unnecessary. That
state had laws covering the subject
of libel with sufficient thoroughncss to
give ample redress to any public Off
cial criticized wrongfully. Under those
laws the officials criticized maliciously
could bring criminal action against
both editors and publishers, while there
was also the alternative of suit for
civil damages growing out of injury
sustained and proved. To a man in
jured by a newspaper publication the
name of the writer of the article is
immaterial so long as he can bring the
responsibility home to the publishers.
In many cases articles criticizing pub
lie officials are written at the direction
Of publishers or managing editors, by
subordinates who simply obey orders.
The responsibility in such instances
Irighttully rests upon the directing mind
rather than upon the agent. If a man
is injured by an act of an agent the
law properly holds the principal ac-
Countable, assuming, of course, that
the act of the agent is in the line of
the agents instructions.
Newspaper criticism of public men,
| especially in the direction of politics,
| IS too much inclined in this country
| toward severity and toward the as.
| sumption of vicious motives. This
evil will in time work out its own cure
Newspapers will discover, in the long
run, that in proportion as they deal
| unfairly with men in public position
so will they lose influence among fair
minded readers-and readers are doing
their own thinking, more and more day
by day. 1t already Is a fact that
the most popular men in public lifr
are often the worst abused men, and
the worse they are bounded by the
press the stronger their hold becomes
upon public favor. This should moi
| be, for the reason that newspaper
should not criticize without cause MOI
attacl; officials without warrant. Bu
the fact that it Is so is ample assur
ance that the evil of reckless commen
carries with it its own remedy.

THRIVING.
From the Plttston Gnzette.

From the Pittston Gazette
My, what rapid strides industrially orr
neighbors in Scranton are making. We
can scarcely keep pace with the news of
additions and improvements. The pa
pcrs OF the Electric City are full of these
things We note that the new piano
factory which came from bridgeport,
Conn, has begun operations. with orders
on its books from all parts of the United
States And announcement is made that
the Collicry Engineer company proposes
to establish mammoth printing estab-
lishmcnt and bookbndcry. The ontario
and Western Railroad company has pur-
chased a tract of land In the northern
part of the city, with a view TO the eroc-
tion of large shops. The Delaware,
LaCkawanna and Western company also
figures on Ccntering its car building and
repair works in Scranton. and that means
employment for 1000 additional hands!
And besides all these new enterprises,
the Times-a Democratic paper, by the
way-informs us that the Older industries
of the city <re booming. Truly, SCran-
ton has occasion for rejoicing.
