of the plaintiff was good, and that the
publication was not warranted by the
truth The true journalists do not,
like the s.yellows'' and sensationalists of
this time, execute their victims first and
ascertain what the truth is concerning
them afterwards.
The earlier bill required the person
preferring the demand for a retraetion
to specify the statements complained
Of But in the present bill that re-
quirement is omitted. 1t should be re-
stored. The Melick bill provided for
full and fair retraction to be publish
ed with as much prominence as was the
libel.'' BUT Senator Shortridge's bill
sonly requires that the retraction
shall be made in las conspicuous
place." Why not require the righting
of the wrong to be as "conspicuously
done" as was the injury? Why con-
fine it merely to the place" of conspic-
uousness? However, we take it that
this matter of error has been one of in
advertence only, for surely what the
author of the present bill means, is that
not only shall the retraction be in as
conspicuous a place-not hidden in a
corner, nor buried in the midst of fine
type, and so set up as to attract small
attention-but that the retraction itself
shall be as conspicuous or prominent as
was the libel.
We think the Assembly bill of 1897
"a. B. 654), should be substituted for
the Shortridge bill by the present Legis-
lature and be passed. For it is common
justice, simple fair play, only decent
guarding of the rights of the decent
press, only throwing about a. great and
an influential public agency the COM
monest kind of safeguards against an
noyance, extortion, blackmail and cal
culated blood money assault A fair
retraction Act follows the maxim that
the law should discourage litigation.
The absence of it encourages, stimu-
lates litigation. The clean, manly, fear
less newspaper has nothing to fear
from it, while all other kinds ought to
dread it, and it is precisely for that
reason that it is needed.
A retraction bin simply parallels in
the matter Of publications what men
usually do in private life, make a de-
mand before they strike a blow. Call
upon the party charged to withdraw, to
right his wrongdoing, to confess his err
ror, before pursuing him with the lash.
Before leaving the subject it is well to
suggest that the complaining party in
making a demand for retraetion ought
to be required to specify not only the
matter complained of, but also to indi-
cate, generally, at least, to the pub
Usher, proofs or evidences of the I'M
truth of the matter complained Of It
certainly will be no hardship upon the
plaintiff to inform the publisher where
he can get at the truth, or in default of
that to specify that the plaintiff has
no references to make indicating dis
proof of the libel, except his own de-
NAL. Such requirement viii simply
tend to speedier, franker settlement Of
the matter, and to earlier righting of
the wrong done.

Tacoma Ledger: The Bureau of
Freight and Transportation of New
Orleans will send memorial to Con-
gress regarding the employment Of for
eign vessels in the coaling trade The
memorial will petition that the laws
pertaining to vessels plying in the
-coastwise trade be so amended as to al
low foreign built or other vessels,
wholly or in part owned by subject of
any foreign Power, to run in the coast
wise trade of this country until such
time as the coastwise companies shall
have time to build vessels to meet the
sudden demands of business in conse-
quence of the extension of our naviga-
ton laws to the new possessions.
This no doubt might serve the pur-
pose of the merchants of New Orleans,
but it would be a dangerous entering
wedge which Congress will hardly give
consideration. Until such time as
coastwise companies shall have time to
build vessels to meet the demands of
business" is a very specious plea, but
If this were allowed, foreign vessels
would meet the demand" and the
American vessels would not be built
for some time to come, if ever.
1t is this very demand that will cause
the building of American vessels, and
it was for that purpose that the law
was enacted.
Instead of throwing down the bars,
they should be kept up with sacred
fidelity, now that the demands" Of
business bid fair to increase the build
ing of American ships.
