A CORRECTION As TO THE LIBEL


Since writing the editorial on the
Lost Libel Law" we nave seen a
communication from Mr.. J. F. Ray in
the Charlotte Observer copied from
the Statesville Landmark. He exo1er-
ates Judge Alien and Mr.. Winston from
all blame. Mr.. Hoey, a newspaper a
and member of the legislature, in1ro-
duced the bill. He asked Mr.. Ray, of
the committee, for the bill, and he gave
it to him. Mr.. Ray writes:
ANY criticism of Mr.. Winston and
Judge Allen are unjust. AS to whether
l did right I will let the public judge.
So far as l was concerned l had serious
objections to the bill and would have
voted against it, humbly believing 1
had a right to exercise this privilege,
Notwithstanding the great power Of ed
itors to make and unmake men,"
No one will censure Mr.. Ray for being
hostile or unjust to the neWspape
men, as that is quite ommon But
that hostility or the objections he held
to the bill should not exclude the 800
newspaper men from a fair hearing be-
fore the legislature. They were not
seeking to do wrong, but were seeking
a law to give them protection against
INSCRIPTIONS men and the nemie of
a free press in a free land. There is a
spirit in North Carolina now possibly
such as existed in the days of Charles
l and later, to put a curb-bit on the
press, to put editors ever in Jail if dar-
ing to c~riticise freely for misconduct
judges and to be prosecuted in the
courts if they dare to question the on
due Of men, even legislators and office
holders generally. Freedom of opinion
is a jewel indeed, but it is not worn by
all men in North Carolina. Said a gen.
tleman to Charles James Fox as they
! were walking together, Fox, what is
orthodoxy and heterodoxy?" why,
orthodoxy is my doxy and heterodoxy
is your doxy."
We ave no complaint to make of
| Mr.. Rays freedom of opinion in oppos-
| ing relief for the press in the law of
| libel-some needed changes if you
| please. If he was opposed to the bill
| he had a right to be. 1t was unfortu-
nate for 500 newspaper men that the
| legislature did not give them some
| needed protection. They must give at
| tention to the matter, SO important to
| them, and seek TO have men elected in
| 1900 of different views in the matter OF
libel from those held by Mr.. Ray and
others-perhaps a large majority of the
late legislature. To us it is very plain
that some law should have been adopt
ed. The liberty of the press needs no
enlargement, but it needs protection.
1t is great enough when not curtailed
by bad lawmakers who fabricate a law
of libel that protectc bad lei and af-
fects honest, well disposed men. The
innocent must suffer with the guilty.

CaSS, is a distinction due to Massachu-
sets alone" DR.. Campbell reports that
George Fl. Moore, Librarian of the His
torical Society of New York, and cor
responding member of the Historical
Society of Massachusetts, has shown
that Massachusetts was the first COM
munity in America to legalize the slave
trade and slavery by legislative act;
the first to send out a slave-ship, and
the first to secure a fugitive slave law"
All of which is instructive and shows
how responsible Massachusetts is for
the great crime of slavery" that so
moves the heart OF those people and so
inspired the poetic south-haters-
Emerson, Lowell. Whittier, and the
lesser ballad-mongers, and so filled
with the yellow-jaundice of bitterness
and vitupeation the windy orators Of
the Wendell Phillips and Charles Sum-
ner dye. What a pity they did not
pant with deep. damning colors their
ancestors who dealt so foully by the
poor, ignorant, helpless, wronged ne
groes they stole from Africa or bought
by exchanging Indians for them.
One more fact. Edward Downing,
an Englishman, who marrid the sister
of John Winthrop and came owe with
him perhaps in 1880, wrote in 1915, to
this effect. We quote only a part from
"Moore's Notes, p. 10. Referring to
the Narrangansett Indians, he wrote
that eff upon a just war'-mark that
Just" for it is always 'just" when the
New Englanders were killing Indians
"the Lord should deliver them into our
hands"-watch the cold-blooded, avari-
! cious fellow-"we might easily have
men, women and children enough to
| exchange for Moors"-now particular
ly mark the greed and cruelty-"which
will be more gainful pillage for us than
we can conceive, for I do not see how
we can thrive until We get into a stock
of slaves to do all our business. * =
l suppose you know very we'll how we
shall maintain twenty Moors cheaper
than one English servant" You see ii
was with the these hungry, brutal
money seekers but Thrift, thrift Ho-
ratio" How the wretches mouth OF
justice and "just war" and "gainful
pillage" and enterprise. DIR. Harrison
says: But the established principle
was admitted by all, ministers and lay
men, that an Indian prisoner might be
justly sold into slavery in a foreign
country" They were fine religious
righteous fellows "up there" in the
good old "way back" How proud now
the south-haters are of such lovely, jus
specimens of humanity. We will give
more extracts from DR.. Campbell IL
another editorial.

In the second column is an article head

and his daughter killed by the woman's

the negroes are not half as numerous
as whites in the south, there crime
record is five or ten times greater than
that of the whites. 1t is indeed a great

Talk about fame, who has it? You
would suppose Kipling would be known
to every man and woman in England.
But in truth not half of London ever
heard of him. There are people in
North Carolina who never heard Of
Zeb Vance or Bill Holden. There are
people all around the globe who are
STEPPED in ignorance. Some live in a
half mile of Faneuil Hall, Boston. As
illustrative of the ignorance in London
Of the most talked of man Of letters in
the world now, We give some four ex-
amples taken from the London Acad-
emy's inquiries when Kipling was SO
i'll, as to what people thought of him:
"a bus driver: Arstin' you a Ques-
tin, sir, 90 is this Mr.. Kipling?
A tobacconist: Yes, sir, he's one OF
the greatest. All the same, l can't say
that I ever heard of Mr.. Kipling till he
had pneumonia.
A fruiterer: Mr.. Kipling! Aye, aye;
it's nice weather for sick folks. He's
an American, isn't he, sir?
A cabman: Like to see the Starr ]
said as l lighted. 'Kipling's all right.
| The cabman's face glowed with inter
est as he leaned down for the crumpled
paper. 7 don't seem to know the
party he said"

a clever piece of writing on the poet
H. ]. Stockard, a kinsman we take it,
in the Raleigh Post. We copy a few
random extracts:
Mr.. Stockard's poetry is high, noble
and pervaded by frequent reference to
the classics. . His verse is con-
densed, yet rich and embroidered. His
some Homer" illustrates this. = =

Poetry is beauty expressed in rhyth-
mical language. The poet is the scop
or maker-the master with the plastic
hand. In the childhood of our race he
wove for us the web called language
To him we give thanks for this great
humanizer and civiliZer of our race

Of the hostile class who hate the negro.
People of the "old regime"-children of

the coming race war she lives in the

negro Will nave to go, and sooner
he goes The better for him. At the end
! of fifty years more, if he does not go,
there will be none of him left to go.
