MORE RIGOROUS LIBEL LAWS

The early years Of the twentieth century
like the first of the nineteenth threaten us
with more rigorous libel. laws. The Federalist
attempts to restrain libelous criticism upon the
past of the press brought serious reverses to
that party, compelling a retreat from their
impraciicable stand upon this question. II IS
dangerous ground, encroaching upon the lii.
critics Of the press, because their rights are
defended BY the people.
Governor Stephens neither understands
people nor politics. In advocating in his mes.
sage. the enactment Of strict libel laws. whose
penalty shall he a term in the peuitentiary for
not less than five years. he strikes AT his news.
paper enemies. vet il is a bad blunder. neither
becoming To his dignity rs governor nor
worthy Of hin as a man. Perhaps he has been
goaded and criticised to distraction and hence
these outbreaks. Bu, discretion is the smaller
part of the retiring governors valor. He is a
scrapper and a finish fighter, refusing to put
up a Limited round contest. His nature has
encouraged much Of the personal abuse and
criticism Of his public acts, and the fac, that he
has suffered u~njustly hardly warrants a more
stringent enactment against libelers.
The public has rarely disapproved Of the
rough handling Of public officials by the press.
The practise has become so general that 1t
hardly excites n Public servants are
supposed to take care Of themselves; IL their
