iiAh N1N ol Ai'LtN WAo NOi Az
PREACHED BY THE COMPLAIN
ANT-ARTIcLE ALLEGING MIL
LER TO BE 1920 PER CENT. MIL
LER" IS THE CAUSE.
Every newspaper daily risks, with
out the least purpose and entirely in
nooently, publication of some news
item to which some sensitive individ-
ual or some greedy, avaricious crank
will object. These people delight in
opportunity to rush into court with
claius for damages to regulations that
often could net be damaged by a COM
bined assault of all the newspapers
published.
For these reasons men OF standing,
who could be injured in reputation by
false or erroneous allegations ought to
act with conservatism when their
names are involved.
In the case of the suit brought by Mr..
Miller against the Republican we have
no idea whatever that there was even
a trace of malice involved in the item
to which the plaintiff objects
We are informed that Mr.. Miller
made no inquiry of the Republican;
made neither request nor demand for
retraction. correction or information
before he brought suit for damages. To
the disnterested 1t looks as though
common fairness requires something
Of that kind.
The Republican informs the Even
ing Journal that II has not at any
time,in any article or item appearingin
its columns referred TO the plaintiff In
any manner in connection with the
Brooklyn swindle or swindlers. That
the man to whom It referred in the
item upon which the plaintiff bases his
suit is now in a New York JAIL
Mr.. Miller could undoubtedly have
learned that fact had he inquired of
the Republican. Equally without
doubt, the Republican would cheer
fully have published a statement TO
that effect If it was made aware that
gossips or busybodies We're seeking to
pervert the object OF its original re-
marks.
4 Former Judge David T. Marvel. Of
the counsel Of William ID. Miller. who
has brought suit against the RennhIi-
can Printing and Publishing Company
FOR $4,000 for libel. was asked this
j morning If Mr. Miller had made any
demand for reparation by the Daily
! Republican before he brought suit. He
said that as far as he knew Mr.. Miller
had not Mr.. Miller he said. was
much exasperated over the publica-
tion
Mr. Miller's first knowledge of the
article which he considers alleged thar
ne was the "520 per cent" Miller who
was arrested in New York for swind-
ling was obtained from his friends.
II IL appears from the statement of the
\ hepuDilcan that he was not referred to
and that inquiry would have secured
him that assurance.
ne certainly enjoys a reputation that
would clear him from such a charge
even II a newspaper nculd make IN
through misinformation.
