Other Judges Should Follow.

The Davenport Democrat says:
Judge Burnham has just made de-
cree that entities him to the thanks of
the newspaper publishers of the state
From the character of many of the
libel suits brought against newspapers
it is evident that other judges would
serve the public cause by throwing out
of consideration such actions. 1t is
possible for a newspaper to intention
ally misrepresent a citizen and there
by do him damage; in fact this is
sometimes done. But on the other
hand no newspaper can afford to in
jure merchant, professional man,
or the most humble citizen. It can not
serve any good interest by such means.
And every reputable newspaper has it's
character to maintain.
More than this 1t is the duty of a
newspaper not only to give the news
but to warn the public against deceiv-
ers and frauds. This it often does at
it's own peril. The character of a
witness is always taken into account
in the court room. He may honestly
testify wrongly on account of the inn
perfect light he has. But his general
reputation as truthful man helps him
out. Why not assume, where malice
or intent can not be shown, that
newspaper means to tell the truth, and
wrong no one. Many a newspaper is
sued for the merest of accidents some
times unavoidable accidents Often
times the paper Is not only misin-
formed but Intentionally misled.

ULTiMATuM TO CUMMINs.

nanded as an endorsement of the So

This suggestion may mean much or
little. Ii the Hawkeye is announcing
that unless the governor abandons his

It occurs to the T.-R. that Governor
Cummins once entered campaign
without the support of the Hawkeye,
and the result was not such as to lead
him to surrender his views on the tariff
and monopolies now in order to secure
that support for the next campaign.
Such an ultimatum coming from the
home of j. w. Blythe sounds like the
resurrection of the old campaign which
we had tried to think forgotten.

Keokuk Gate City-A broad minded.
sensible and wholly admirable ruling
as to the responsibility of newspaper
for the intelligence it scatters broad
cast was rendered by Judge Burnham
in the district court at MarshalltoWn on
Thursday. 1t Will be noted that in the
eyes of the law as interpreted by Judge
Burnham the newspaper is not only
conditionally privileged to publish facts
of public concern about individuals and
events, but it has distinct duty to per-
form in the matter. 1t Is under obliga-
ton to the public to print the news to
the end that the public may be inform
ed concerning the acts of individuals
that may have material effect upon
the welfare or interests of others. The
conditions are that the facts in the case
shall be given in good faith and without
malice or intent to injure. When these
are met and complied with the news
paper is to be credited with having per-
formed it's legitimate duty.

STRIKE coMM,sslon COMPENSATION.

The senate committee has agreed to
report favorably on the bill appropriate
ing $4,000 to pay the expenses of the
strike commission appointed by the
president The house had previously
passed this measure, after several for
ensie scraps with the democratic mi
nority, who sought to amend 1T by
lacking on irrelevant matter or eniarg-
ing Its scope to include payment to
Mitchell, or in cutting out the clause
entirely that provided compensation for
such commissioners. While the demo-
Gratis, or many of them. were really OPP
posed to the measure, they did not dare
antagonize it fully, and We're content to
show their opposition in desire to fix
1t '.some other way" But the republic
cans having it in charge would not per-
init it. The measure is now sure to be-
come law.
It is stated that the opinion prevails
among legal experts in congress that
the recognition of the commission thru
an appropriation gives it a standing
similar to the commission that investi-
gated the railroad strike in Chicago
some eight years ago. While it is not
held that the findings of the commits
sion viii be binding upon either party
to the controversy, the report of its in
yestigation will be an official statement
of conditions in the anthracite field, and
will be of value to congress in the con-
sideration .of any future legislation
bearing upon the relations of capital
and labor.
The commission is not vet thru with
Its work, but it is hoped that the task
may be completed before congress adj
journs, so that its findings can be OFF,
cially received by that body.

WINTER DlsTREss.

Notwithstanding the admonition to
prepare for winter, the advent of cold
weather in severe way, as in the pres
ent instance, always finds many people
lily fitted 10 meet its rigors. Outdoor
employments largely cease for many,
and period of enforced idleness comes,
unless such workmen have the wise
foresight to secure other employment.
1t is a period when large numbers could
spend part of the otherwise idle time
profitably n making their homes more
comfortable. Despite this distress will
come to many, and more of it will be
manifested in large cities than in towns
and country, and still more of it in ma
lions less prosperous than our own. All
classes here have had a good year to
live well and save something for the
cold period.
But in other countries 1t is different
Winter has set in in earnest all over the
continent of Europe and much distress
is reported. In Paris dozehs of deaths
are reported from exposure to the cold,
which is driving many destitute persons
to the resource of getting themselves
arrested for the purpose of obtaining
shelter in police stations. Fifty persons
were thus cared for on recent night
at one station, only to be discharged the
next morning. Paris is by no means
comfortable city in cold, windy
weather ssAe hospitals are filed with
cases of digestion from cold, and the
doctors are busy with bronchitis, pneu-

of London many poor people fight for a

LEGATION. regardless of the truth OF the
matter published, has been exploded
Inv the Judge of the district court al
Marshalltown.
Judge Burnham, who was on the
bench, used broad common sense in his
decision. Legitimate newspapers like
the Times Republican are not ma
liciously publishing information about
people to their discredit. 1t is the duty
of a newspaper, under its contract with
it's subscribers, to publish all the reli-
able news in it's territory.
When man commits fraud and
becomes a menace to the public well
fare. he is the legitimate subject of
the news columns of the press. The
publisher has no feelings in the matter
except to give his readers the news to
which they are rightfully entitled. To
minute to him personal desire to in
lure the subject of such legitimate news
is entirely wrong, and Judge Burnham's
decision shows that a legal view of
such a case comedies with the natural
one held by the general public.
That Judge Burnham did perfectly
right in stopping the case and censur-
ing the plaintiff, will not be denied.
And it is a satisfaction to know that

Grinnell Gazette-Courts have re-
peatedly held that newspapers are not
subject to damages when the matter
published is true, and no malice is
shown. When man feels hurt over
the publication of the truth, the first
thought is a libel suit to heal his
wounded vanity, but the instances are
rare when newspapers maliciously as
sault others. The news is legitimate
matter for publication and If people
would be careful to commit no crime
there would be fewer libel suits.
